The nCamp Stove is a new creation from Dan Cuffaro who’s an industrial designer and educator he’s created the nCamp stove because he identified these issues problems relating to food preparation camping equipment, which the nCamp Stove solves:
Dan says that he focused on using wood from the forest as fuel. Wood is typically a readily available source of combustible material and existing wood-burning camp stoves are bulky because of the nature of a combustion chamber. I examined methods for reducing this bulk, and experimented with a collapsible chamber.
I developed a series of prototypes; The first example for students was a miniature prototype with a collapsing chamber represented by a plastic camping cup. Next, I began to experiment with foam core models to evaluate size and proportion. Eventually, I developed works-like and looks-like models.
With the help of my friend and colleague Haishan Deng, the project moved from concept to pre-production prototypes.
The final patent pending design for the nCamp Stove burns sticks and twigs and can also use liquid or solid fuel, such as diethylene glycol or fuel cubes.
It is compact —about the size of a medium-size paperback book. The work surface allows one to rest cooking utensils or cookware. It is made of aluminum and stainless steel and is durable, stable and lightweight.
Ashes can be clean out by inverting and shaking when cool. The storage bag keeps residue contained until it is time to thoroughly clean.
Specifications:
Width – 9 inches (22.86 cm)
Depth – 6.5 inches (16.5 cm)
Height (closed) – 1.5 inches (3.8 cm)
Height (open) – 6.3 inches (16 cm)
Weight – 15 ounces (.42 kg)
Dan points out that this is a concept that he’s trying to get off the ground via Kickstarter, if you like the look of the nCamp Stove it might be worth a closer look
