Ultra-Light Wood Stove (Hobo Stove)

The Picogrill85, a Swiss-made pure wood cooker designed for pots and pans up to approximately 1.5 liters, is an ultra-lightweight cooking solution with a minimum weight of 85g. When equipped with the included wire holder necessary for small frying pans, its total weight remains under 97g. The accompanying bag weighs around 20g but can be substituted with a lightweight plastic bag.

This efficient cooker boasts excellent heating capabilities, allowing 1 liter of water to boil in just 6-8 minutes, depending on the type of wood used. Its stable design accommodates the addition of more wood even while a pan is in use on the cooker. In the absence of wood, alternatives such as a Trangia (88g) or Vargo 'Triad' Titan spirit stove (26g) can be utilized without the need for extra accessories. These stoves can be easily placed into the designated cut-out section of the grid.

The Picogrill85 is incredibly lightweight, with a total weight of 128g (4.5 oz), comprising the wood stove at 82g (2.9 oz), the bag at 34g (1.2 oz), and a single hanger at 12g (0.4 oz). Setting it up is quick and effortless, with all parts remaining connected except for the hanger, ensuring no pieces are lost. The compact size of the cooker, with a folded-out diameter of 120mm and a height of 140mm, can be easily folded flat to dimensions of 250 x 160 x 4mm.

Featuring a spacious combustion chamber for efficient heating, the Picogrill85 requires only small wood pieces for operation. It offers rapid boiling times of 6-8 minutes for 1 liter of water, depending on the wood quality. Additionally, if wood is unavailable, the cooker is compatible with Trangia (88g) or Vargo 'Triad' titanium alcohol stoves (26g) without the need for extra components, fitting snugly into the grate recesses.

This product, introduced in 2012 and designed by Bruno Wanzenried, is a testament to lightweight and efficient outdoor cooking, embodying the essence of convenience and practicality for outdoor enthusiasts.
