The Hive (Expansion Kit) TitaniumThe Hive (Expansion Kit) Titanium

 

The ultimate in 100% British designed and manufactured wood burning and multi-fuel Titanium stoves.

Manufactured from .5mm Grade 2 Titanium sheet, which is 29% thinner than the .7mm Stainless Steel model.

This also makes it 55% lighter weighing in at a total of 161g. (Standard model 362g)

Although the Titanium is obviously thinner and has a more delicate feel to the touch, it is one of the most technical, tough and durable materials available today. Due to the thickness, parts may flex with ease, however realigning the shape is simple and will not effect the longevity or strength of the product.

The stove has no moving parts. Nothing to break down or fail. Once clipped together it forms the same sturdy cooking platform as the standard  model.

Please note, there is a natural slight warp to the flat .5mm Titanium material. Even under prolonged high heat, this warp is minor and does not effect the fantastic performance or ability to disassemble and reassemble the stove.

This is not a toy and should only be used by those with experience in using lightweight technical outdoor materials.

The following information is relevant to both models;

Since the launch in 2008, The Honey Stove has grown in popularity in all areas of the outdoor community. 

Users have enthused over the flexibility and practically of the 100% British design and manufacture, sharing the news of the discovery with other outdoor enthusiasts.

Hikers, backpackers, bushcrafters, kayakers, cyclists, riders and travellers around the globe have enjoyed the simplicity of the design, combined with the reliable functionality, which results in cooking over a stove which is virtually carbon neutral.



There’s no escaping the fact. This style of cooking will transport you back to a simpler time, and increase yours pleasures when living outdoors. 

Time to appreciate your surroundings and your companions more. Time which is never wasted.

I wanted to design a stove which would be unique. No moving parts, just a simple solid reliable construction, which when linked together would provide maximum strength either in the square or hexagonal configuration.



A true multi fuel stove which cooks efficiently with virtually any size or shape of cook pot, used by the independent traveller around the world.

One which will burn organic matter, esbit/hexamine tablets, night light candles, ANY make of meths (denatured alcohol) stove, Greenheat Fuel Cells and even the standard Trangia gas burner, or other similar variations.



Flexibility is the key to the design concept. Your cooking vessel can be placed on top, or if less than 12cm diameter, inside the rim of the stove. 

For example, by placing a simple heat source in the base of the Hexagonal setting, the Stainless Steel will reflect heat inwards and act as a reliable windshield. 

By simply sliding two 3mm pegs (not included) through the horizontal holes in the mid points, your pot (less than 12cm dia) will be lowered and supported inside the perimeter walls, and therefore trap more of the generated heat, reducing the time taken to boil. 



Your Honey Stove package consists of 5 x side panels, a fire door, a base plate, a Trangia Burner support, a small square plate and a top mesh grill. The base plate is interchangeable in any of the five different side slots.



There are no hard and fast rules, as to which slot you use, or which way is up!  It is entirely up to you and your needs at that particular cooking moment! 

Please note: You do NOT need to use ALL of the parts, ALL of the time!



Please note: It is designed to be a tight fit the first few times you assemble the stove. This will quickly become easier with use.



Honey Stove Cooking




 

Assembling the square configuration



This is the most compact stove setting, and it may be all a ‘lightweight’ backpacker, cyclist, bushcrafter or kayaker will ever need.

Option 1: Take a side panel with the prongs facing upwards, and slide down on each side two further panels. If you are burning organic matter, place the square plate in either of the two lowest slots, then slide the door on ‘upwards’. This will allow you slide fuel in through the door slot.

Option 2: If you are using a coke can stove, esbit/hexamine tablet or Greenheat place the square plate in the mid slot and then slide on the door. This allows easy lighting of the tablets and better air flow.



Option 3: However you may wish to make the fire completely enclosed. Therefore instead of sliding on the door, use another side panel. This will enclose the fire completely.



Option 4: You may also prefer to use the standard Trangia Burner. The slots in the side panels are designed to hold the rim of the burner securely. 

Therefore, slot the rim into the mid slot of the three panels and then slide the door into place. 
This slot provides the optimum burner to pot height, to achieve maximum heat performance. 

NB: You are also still able to access the simmering ring through the door.




Assembling the hexagonal configuration



To burn organic matter/charcoal BBQ briquettes



Option 1: Take a side panel and hold it with the prongs facing downwards. Slide on two other side panels either side and place the base plate in either of the bottom two slots (air flow). 

Make sure the rear of the base plate sits in the central panel slot. 

Slide on a fourth and fifth panel on alternate sides, and then while holding those two panels between your thumb and forefinger, ease the fire door into place.

NB: As the metal is freshly laser cut, this will be a tight fit initially, so may require positive, but not excessive force. This will quickly become easier.

For pots smaller than 12cm, slide two 3mm pegs through the slots at a height of your choice. 

Or cook directly on the grill placed on top of the final assembly.




To burn esbit/hexamine tablet



Option 2: Assemble as above, but raise the base plate to the second slot. 

For pots smaller than 12cm, slide in two 3mm pegs through the slots at a height of your choice to make the most of the heat generated. Or cook directly on the grill placed on top of the final assembly.




To use a Trangia Burner



Option 3: Assemble as above with the base plate in either of the two lowest slots. Prior to fitting the door, slide in the Trangia plate into two opposing mid slots. Then ease the fire door into place. 

If your pot is greater then 12cm, place it on top of the stove.



If your pot is less than 12cm slide in two 3mm pegs through two upper holes as support. Or use the grill on top of the assembly as support. 

However, for maximum wind protection, you have the option to assemble the stove with the Trangia plate lower down, and therefore the base of the pot is enclosed within the perimeter of the stove for maximum wind protection.

To use Trangia Gas or other Trangia Fitting Multifuel Convertor

Option 4: Assemble as above but start with the prongs facing upwards on the first panel, so the door fits on last with the wider section at the top of the stove. This allows the fuel line to exit the unit without obstruction.
Which wood to burn? They use this old woodman's poem ….

Logs to burn! Logs to burn!
Logs to save the coal a turn!
Here's a word to make you wise
When you hear the woodman's cries.

Beechwood fire burn bright and clear;
Hornbeam blazes too,
If logs are kept a year
And seasoned through and through.

Oak logs will warm you well
If they're old and dry,
Larch logs of pinewood smell
But the sparks will fly.

Pine is good and so is yew
For warmth through winter days
But poplar and willow, too
Take long to dry and blaze.

Birch logs will burn too fast,
Alder scarce at all.
Chestnut logs are good to last
If cut in the fall.

Holly logs will burn like wax,
You should burn them green,
Elm logs like smoldering flax,
No flame is seen.

Pear logs and apple logs,
They will scent your room.
Cherry logs across the dogs
Smell like flowers in bloom.

But ash logs, all smooth and grey,
Burn them green or old,
Buy up all that come your way,
They're worth their weight in gold.


Hard woods for roasting
Apple, Ash, Beech, Birch, Sweet Chestnut, Hazel, Holly, Hornbeam, Larch, Oak and Willow.

Soft woods for boiling
Alder, Aspen, cedar, Hawthorn, Horse chestnut, Lime, Pine, Poplar, Spruce, Sycamore.

A unique British creation, copied by others, but certainly not bettered. A great deal of thought has gone into the design & it works extremely well. All at an excellent price too.
Made in Great Britain-Buy British !

Hi Bob and Rose and all at Backpackinglight.
I bought this after long deliberation and an endless playbacks of your fantastic podcasts (constant companion in my car) can’t wait to try it. I’m on this years TGO after a delay of what seems to be a lifetime (thanks COVID 19 🤦‍♂️..
You’ve been an inspiration to me and I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my Inov8 boots. The Honey Stove will be a major part of my first time crossing and will join me whenever possible wherever the outdoors may be.
More to follow and thanks again
Very best regards
Martyn

Really good bit of kit. Had the original steel version but brought this one to shave some grammes for a few long distance paths. Tried it out this weekend and it works the same as the steel one. Works really well with a toaks meths burner too. Definitely converted from a gas canister cooker to this. Very versatile. Good idea well executed!

Ti Honey Stove
11 January 2021  | 

Due to current travel restrictions I haven't been able to use the honey stove camping yet. However I can give my initial impressions from trying it in the back garden! So far I'm really impressed ! The stove arrived promptly is very light and quite easy to put together in both configurations. I used the 4 sided varient with a vargo triad alcohol stove which worked really well despite a stiff breeze boiling a mug of water very quickly.It was a little tricky to seat the stove on the square plate, In its full size I tried it as a stick stove with some local deadfall, again it worked well. I had to " cheat " to start the damp wood burning with some meths wire wool and a natural firelighter but once burning the stove was very easy to use boiled a larger pot of water quickly on the grill and formed a comforting small fire pit until the deadfall ran out.
Overall I'm very impressed with the stove both to use bikepacking in its 4 sided configuration and for camping trips when the pandemic restrictions are lifted
