1. Wow! You’ve certainly piqued my interest! “Made in the USA” is a great bonus.

2. The URL siegestoves.com is not working. 404 error. Even the kickstarter campaign says go to it, but no luck. Any one have a valid link?

   Firefox:
   Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

   We can’t connect to the server at siegestoves.com.

   1. Hi Mike,
      Sorry about the inconvenience. It just so happened that our web host’s servers went down Sunday night and were only back online Monday morning. It’s a relatively rare occurrence, but the timing wasn’t great given that Pat’s review was posted today. Please check SiegeStoves.com again — it should be working fine.
      Thank you,

3. What is the difference of the siege stoves to all the other upgraded hobo stoves out there including the Ikea stove?

4. I get a 404 error at the Seige Stoves URL.

5. These go way back. When I was doing 18th century living history events I had a blacksmith knock together the 18th century version of one of these. They were called “braziers” when I was using them and I believe that’s what they were called way back as well. Very handy. All you need was a couple handfuls of twigs and sticks to brew your coffee or cook your diner. Mine had a handle riveted on one side like a frying pan so you could pick the whole thing up and move it if you needed to even when you were cooking with it. There’s really nothing new under the sun is there!
   I traded mine away years ago, I think I may go out and find another one….

6. Links work fine for me. I ordered one for a grandson about six months ago to get him interested in some sort of preparedness thinking if he had fun it would be a start. It worked as planned. He loves it.

   I ordered the Seige cross-members only so he could have fun using any size can he wanted gaining the experience of doing it himself.

   I’m going to order the Flat-packed Stove next for myself shortly. It’ll fold up to nothing so you can pack anywhere. I have redundancy in water purification and this will provide the same in cooking. Can’t get more basic. Quality is good and I love the fact that it doesn’t come from China

7. The simplest of Web searches produced this:

8. I have the Siege Stove setup that is pictured. Using my IKEA canister, I have cooked a couple of meals with no problems. One thing I did do is with the canister, I used a Dremel tool and cut our a door (3inX3in) in the bottom side to load sticks into the firebox of the canister. That helps and that way you do not have to take the pot/pan off the top to load the wood.

   1. Randy, the access door sounds like a great idea, much like an miniature rocket stove

9. We used a tin can hobo stove on a 8 day trek across Isle Royal the second week in May. Flew in on float plane, and due to fog and rain our 7 day adventure turned into 8 days. We used the hobo stove to boil water for warm drinks, rehydrate mixed veggies and for mountain house dinners. We didn’t use matches or lighter, only a fire starter and our kindling to get each fire going. There was still snow on the ground in a lot of places, and we nearly had the entire island to ourselves. We also had few flies and mosquitos. Used another hobo stove backpacking in porcupine mountains the second week in May. There was about 8-12 inches of snow on the ground that trip. The best backpacking stove available IMHO.
