When preparing to escape civilization for a weekend, a week, or a couple of months, there are few joys quite like the pleasure of starting a small fire to keep warm and to cook by. But with more and more people heading out to go camping and the restrictions placed on harvesting firewood, it is getting more and more difficult to enjoy the simple pleasure of listening to the eucalyptus crackle and pop at camp.

In most National Parks across Australia, it is now illegal to collect firewood as it is considered damaging to the habitats of our threatened native wildlife, and if caught, you can incur expensive fines that make the whole process simply not worth it.

So with increased difficulty in sourcing wood for our campfires, campers have had to turn to bringing wood from home and burning it using more efficient method’s to make the wood last much longer. This gives us a few additional issues, such as the extra bulk and weight of carrying the firewood and also where to get it from, 0with many service stations in cold areas selling precut logs ready to burn it may seem simple enough but efficient burning to make your logs go further is still an issue….

Here at 4WD Supacentre we’ve found that one of the most efficient ways to get your campfire burning hotter, for longer on less wood is with a self-contained fireplace like the Adventure Kings Camp Oven/Stove. By elevating your campfire up off the ground using its stable 3 foldout metal legs, and by containing the heat of the fire, you can get more out of the wood you bring with you by creating less smoke and more red-hot coals that can burn more than a standard fire on the ground.

The Adventure Kings Camp Oven/Stove has an adjustable flue, and a settable latch on the door so you can fully control the air that can circulate throughout the stove allowing you to maintain the perfect temperature no matter what the season. The added benefit to this self-contained stove is that with more complete combustion, you have less ash, and your fire is also much easier to start.

Choosing a simple system like the Adventure Kings Camp Oven/Stove even allows you to cook on top of it, and inside it with absolute control, letting you boil bake, fry and roast with relative ease all whilst keeping the smoke out of your eyes.

Coming standard with a chimney that reaches a massive 2.4m above camp you can set up your stove with the chimney running up past the top of your awning or gazebo whilst allowing you to have a toasty warm campsite sitting dry and out of the rain, and keeping your eyes from the sting of the smoke.

when you are finished with your stove and it is time to pack it up, it is as simple as removing the chimneys 5 sections and inserting them all into the barrel of the stove. Now the chimney has been removed you can easily fold your legs, by removing the retaining pins and folding the legs down. You don’t have to worry about losing these pins thanks to the handy keeper chains.

With all three legs folded down, you can easily carry the whole unit to the back of your 4WD or ute, by the integrated carry handle.

Where you would require a whole pile of firewood to get enough hot coals cook on an open fire, you can get away with just 3 small logs and a handful of tinder in this easy to use compact campfire stove.

With all of these features plus more, it’s easy to see why more and more people are turning to an Adventure Kings Camp Oven/Stove to stay warm at camp all year long.

For under $150 Regardless of the weather and using less wood than ever before you can cook and keep control of how quickly your logs are burning all without the pain of stinging eyes and melted boot soles thanks to Adventure Kings and the cooking range at 4WD Supacentre.
