The Bushbuddy Ultra stove
Originally custom made for Ryan Jordan's (Backpackinglight magazine), for his Arctic 1000 trek in June of 2006, this stove features the same efficient combustion design as the regular Bushbuddy Ultra, but in a lighter weight (5 ounces, instead of 6.5 ounces for the regular model). The two stoves are identical in size. Because of the light weight construction of this stove, it is essential to protect it by storing it in your cookpot.
All stainless steel construction, with an outer shell of .004" fully hardened 304 stainless steel, firebox walls of .010" annealed 304 stainless
steel, and a hand made grate of nichrome wire for long life with minimum weight.
The newly redesigned Bushbuddy Ultra stove provides for the cooking needs of one or two people, but can also serve the needs of a family or small group if two stoves are carried. The Bushbuddy Ultra's compact size and light weight make it ideally suited to the needs of the backpacker, cyclist, and other outdoor travelers. Because it burns wood, it is a very economical stove to use, and unlike other woodburning pack stoves, the Bushbuddy Ultra does not use a battery powered fan to assist with combustion. The Bushbuddy Ultra is also safe for air travel.
Under good conditions (protected from wind and rain and with a lid on the pot) the Bushbuddy Ultra can boil one quart of water in about 8-10 minutes. It is a very efficient stove, consuming only about 14 oz. of wood per hour at maximum heat, less at lower heat.
Because of its unique design which uses a double wall around the firebox to preheat secondary combustion air, you will find that you can burn wood as cleanly as a candle. Just be sure to use dry wood only, and add it at regular intervals to maintain an open flame.
The Bushbuddy Ultra is made of high quality 18% chrome 8% nickel stainless steel for many years of trouble free use. The grate is now made of nichrome wire for the longest possible life.
