Petromax Hobo Stove – Portable Wood Burning Stove for Bushcraft, Camping & Emergency Prepping
The Petromax Hobo Stove is a compact, lightweight and efficient wood burning camping stove, ideal for bushcraft, wild camping, survival kits and emergency preparedness. Made from durable stainless steel, this versatile outdoor stove provides a practical way to cook food and boil water without relying on conventional gas canisters.
Whether you're building a bug out bag, preparing an emergency cooking kit or heading into the wilderness, the stove offers a reliable and economical outdoor cooking solution.
Efficient Wood Burning Stove for Bushcraft & Survival
The Petromax Hobo Stove uses an ingenious chimney design to create a natural stack effect, drawing air through the stove to produce intense heat while consuming relatively small amounts of fuel.
Burning readily available natural materials such as dry twigs, small branches and brushwood, this portable survival stove is particularly useful for bushcraft enthusiasts and preppers looking to reduce their dependence on bottled gas.
Its adjustable fuel grate allows different fuel types to be used:
- Lower grate position: Suitable for burning dry twigs, small branches and brushwood.
- Upper grate position: Designed for use with compatible solid fuel tablets or a spirit burner.
The large front opening makes it easy to feed additional fuel into the stove without removing your cooking pot.
An Essential Addition to Your Prepping Supplies
For anyone assembling an emergency preparedness kit, bug out bag or off-grid cooking setup, the Petromax Hobo Stove provides a compact cooking option that can be stored until needed.
Its ability to operate using multiple fuel types makes it a useful addition to emergency supplies, particularly during power cuts or situations where conventional cooking facilities are unavailable.
Unlike gas-powered camping stoves, the Hobo can burn suitable locally collected natural fuel where permitted, reducing reliance on disposable gas cartridges.
Important: This stove is intended for outdoor use only and must never be operated indoors, in tents or in enclosed spaces due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Lightweight, Flat-Pack Design
Weighing just 370g without its pouch, the Petromax Hobo Stove is ideal for situations where space and weight are important.
Its clever slot-together construction allows the stove to be assembled quickly without complicated tools. When not in use, the individual stainless steel panels pack neatly into the supplied robust ripstop carrying pouch.
The flat-pack design makes it particularly suitable for bushcraft backpacks, survival bags, vehicle emergency kits and camping equipment.
