Sandbar Flatfire Stove

[zelph]

My wife brought this stove to my attention today.....she's my fireworks companion Looking out for my best interests

This burner has some interesting possibilities when looking at the small version that is backpacking size 7.5" x 7.5" x 8". Now when you look at the stove use your "modification" eyes It can easily be made to fold into a 7.5" x 8" rectangle for storage.

It wouldn't work for me. I would be packing charcoal in, so that chimney being foldable does me no good. I'd just fill the chimney with charcoal and carry the whole thing in with me instead of the charcoal bag

I am very much aware of these needs.

Yes, thank you

You could use wood instead of charcoal, laz a grate on top and boil water or grill some meat

[zelph]

Yes, it's well made and folds flat. Easily converted to a small cook stove. Just add X pot support for pots.

It has been discontinued but was able to find a company that still had them in stock:

Their site says sold out and disco'd by manufacturer

[zelph]

That's because of me ordering 2 of them When I got home late today I had an email saying they are no longer in stock and m,oney will be refunded

They say in the year 2016 they might have more

Hi Dan, I am sorry to say that we a sold out of those and probably will not have any until sometime in 2016. I will cancel this order for you. Keep checking with us and when we get them in it will reflect on the web site. thanks, Donna

Did a little search and found a substitute...not stainless but it folds flat:

Nice...and it has a smaller footprint. The handle would need modified so it can also collapse

[zelph]

I'll modify it by removing handle hardware. I ordered one from this place, total cost including shipping $17.00

Great Find and they deducted an additional dollar off the price. I had to add one to the collection. I foresee some modifications; maybe some high temp paint, handle mod. and a grate for grilling
