This foldable stainless steel wood-burning camp stove turns dry twigs, small branches and split wood into a stable outdoor cooking fire without requiring a gas cylinder.
The box-shaped fire chamber shields the flame from moderate wind while directing heat toward the removable top grate. A front fuel door allows users to add short pieces of wood without lifting the cookware. Beneath the fuel grate, a removable ash tray collects loose ash and helps maintain an air gap below the fire.
The reference compact configuration measures approximately 5.9 × 5.5 × 8.3 inches when assembled and folds to about 1.5 inches thick. At approximately 2 lb, it is substantially more portable than a conventional cast-iron stove, although it should be positioned as a durable compact camp stove rather than an ultralight titanium backpacking product.
Available from INTECAMP for wholesale, OEM and private-label outdoor cooking programs.

This is a compact solid-fuel cooking stove. It is designed to concentrate a small wood fire beneath a kettle, pot, frying pan or removable grill grate.
It can be used for:
Boiling water
Heating soup and canned food
Cooking with a small camping pot
Frying with suitable compact cookware
Grilling meat and vegetables
Heating coffee or tea
Preparing simple meals during power outages
Outdoor bushcraft and survival cooking
It is not a tent heater, indoor wood stove or large family barbecue. The compact grate is better suited to one pot or a small quantity of food than to full-size cookware.
That positioning gives retailers a more accurate product story and reduces the risk of customers expecting the capacity of a full-size campfire grill.
The stove uses hinged stainless steel panels that open to create a rigid rectangular fire chamber. After use, the panels fold together into a flat package that fits inside the supplied storage bag.
Unlike stoves assembled from several loose plates, the hinged construction keeps the main body components connected. This reduces the number of parts that can be misplaced at a campsite and makes setup easier for first-time users.
The folding format also benefits importers and retailers:
Reduced shelf depth
More efficient master-carton packing
Lower storage volume than a fixed firebox
Easier parcel shipment
Compact presentation for outdoor retail displays
Convenient inclusion in camping cookware bundles
Fewer loose structural panels in the package
The final hinge design should be tested after repeated high-temperature cycles. Stainless steel expands during heating, so hinge clearance must remain sufficient after the firebox has been used and cooled several times.
The reference construction combines a stainless steel stove body with a removable 304 stainless steel cooking grate.
Using different stainless steel grades for the body and cooking surface allows buyers to balance heat performance, corrosion resistance and retail cost.
A 430 stainless steel body is suitable for many price-sensitive camping stove programs. It offers good heat resistance and a clean metallic appearance, but it is less corrosion-resistant than 304 stainless steel in wet or salty environments.
The cooking grate can be produced from 304 stainless steel for better corrosion resistance and easier cleaning. The material grade, wire diameter, weld quality and food-contact testing should be confirmed in the final product specification.
For marine, premium outdoor or high-humidity markets, an all-304 body can be discussed as an OEM upgrade. This affects material cost, weight and minimum order requirements.
The phrase “all 304 stainless steel” should only be used when the body panels, hinges, tray, internal supports and cooking grate have all been verified against the approved bill of materials.
The top grill grate creates a stable cooking surface across the fire chamber. Users can place suitable cookware on the grate or cook food directly over the flame.
The mesh structure allows heat and flame to reach the cooking surface while supporting smaller food items more effectively than widely spaced pot-support arms.
It is suitable for:
Small camping kettles
Coffee pots
Compact saucepans
Frying pans with stable bases
Burgers
Sausages
Sliced vegetables
Fish portions
Skewers positioned across the grate
Cookware must remain balanced within the grate area. Oversized pans can make the stove unstable, especially when the fuel door is open or the ground is uneven.
For wholesale projects, the grate specification can be customized through:
Wire diameter
Mesh opening
Edge-frame thickness
Surface dimensions
Handle design
Welding method
304 or other buyer-approved stainless grade
Maximum cookware load
Food-contact testing requirements
The maximum safe cookware weight should be established by testing the approved production model rather than estimated from appearance.
The front opening allows short pieces of wood to be added while a pot remains on top of the stove.
This solves a common problem with compact top-loading wood stoves: users do not need to remove a hot kettle every time the fire requires more fuel.
The hinged door also provides access for:
Initial fire lighting
Fuel positioning
Airflow adjustment
Removing unburned pieces after cooling
Cleaning the internal chamber
The door can be left partially open when additional combustion air is required. However, an open door may allow sparks, embers or hot ash to escape. It should never be used as a shelf for fuel or cookware.
A ring latch or other mechanical closure keeps the door secured when the stove is folded for transport.
Wood rests on an internal stainless steel support grate rather than directly on the bottom panel.
This creates a space beneath the fuel where air can enter through the lower ventilation holes. The rising air supports combustion and helps prevent accumulated ash from immediately blocking the fire.
The airflow path is simple:
Fresh air enters through the lower side openings.
Air moves beneath the internal fuel grate.
Oxygen reaches the underside of the burning wood.
Flame and heat rise toward the cooking surface.
Loose ash falls into the collection area below.
This stove does not use a verified double-wall secondary-combustion system and should not be described as a “smokeless stove.” Smoke output depends on fuel moisture, airflow, fire temperature and how heavily the chamber is loaded.
Dry fuel produces a cleaner and more stable fire than damp branches or green wood.
The ash tray sits beneath the internal fuel grate and collects loose ash and small burnt particles.
Its main purposes are to:
Simplify cleaning
Keep ash away from the primary air path
Reduce residue inside the folded body
Make campsite cleanup more controlled
Limit direct ash contact with the supporting surface
The tray should only be removed after the fire is fully extinguished and the stove has cooled. Pulling it out during operation can release hot ash, increase airflow unexpectedly or spread embers.
The ash tray does not make the stove safe for direct use on grass, wooden tables or plastic surfaces. Heat can still transfer through the stove base, and sparks may escape through the front opening.
The standard product is designed primarily for dry natural wood fuel, including:
Dry twigs
Small branches
Split wood pieces
Dry bark used in small quantities for ignition
Buyer-approved biomass fuel
Short, dry pieces burn more predictably than large logs. Fuel must fit inside the chamber without projecting dangerously through the open door.
Charcoal compatibility can be offered only when the internal grate, ash clearance and ventilation pattern have been evaluated for that fuel.
A separate spirit-burner or solid-fuel holder may also be developed for OEM programs. These accessories should not be listed as compatible unless their fit, stability, clearances and operating instructions have been confirmed.
Do not use:
Gasoline
Diesel
Kerosene
Lighter fluid
Pressurized gas burners placed inside the chamber
Painted wood
Pressure-treated timber
Plastic
Household waste
Materials that may release toxic fumes
Users must also follow local rules governing firewood collection. Removing branches from protected land may be prohibited even when the material appears to be dead.
A wood-burning stove does not have a fixed output comparable to a regulated gas burner.
Heat and cooking time depend on:
Wood species
Fuel moisture
Fuel-piece size
Amount of fuel
Wind
Ambient temperature
Elevation
Cookware material
Pot diameter
Water or food quantity
User fire-management technique
For this reason, INTECAMP does not recommend publishing an unverified wattage, BTU rating or guaranteed boil time.
The compact chamber can produce a strong cooking flame when supplied with dry fuel, but users need to add small pieces regularly. It is intended for hands-on outdoor cooking rather than unattended simmering.

This type of solid-fuel stove does not have one universal approval covering the EU, UK, US, Canada and Australia. The required testing, labeling and responsible-party information should be confirmed for each market.
Select a level, non-combustible outdoor surface.
Unfold the stove body completely.
Confirm that all panels and hinges are correctly positioned.
Install the internal fuel grate and ash tray.
Position the grill grate securely on top.
Place a small amount of dry tinder inside the chamber.
Add thin twigs before adding larger pieces.
Light the fuel using an approved outdoor fire-starting method.
Allow the fire to establish before placing cookware on the grate.
Add short pieces of fuel through the front door when required.
Keep the ash tray in position throughout operation.
Extinguish the fire completely after cooking.
Allow every component to cool before cleaning or folding.
The final instruction sequence must be reviewed against the approved production sample.
Wait until the stove, ash and grill grate are completely cold.
Remove the grill grate and brush away food residue. Wash the grate with mild detergent when required and dry it thoroughly before storage.
Empty cold ash into an approved disposal container. Ash can remain hot internally even when the surface appears cool, so users should follow campsite or local disposal procedures.
Wipe the stove body and ash tray with a damp cloth. Avoid steel-wool pads that can contaminate the stainless surface with iron particles.
Before placing the stove in its bag:
Confirm that no embers remain
Dry all parts
Remove grease and food residue
Fold the panels without forcing the hinges
Store the grate so it cannot bend
Keep the bag in a dry location
Surface discoloration after wood-fire use is normal and does not necessarily indicate corrosion.
This product is for outdoor use only.
Never operate it inside:
A tent
A campervan
An RV
A vehicle
A garage
A cabin
A shed
A screened enclosure
Any poorly ventilated area
Burning wood produces carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide cannot be reliably detected by smell and can cause serious injury or death.
Always:
Check local fire restrictions before use
Use the stove on a stable, non-combustible surface
Use suitable heat protection beneath the stove
Keep water or an appropriate extinguisher nearby
Maintain clearance from tents, vehicles and vegetation
Keep the stove away from dry grass
Wear heat-resistant gloves
Use stable cookware
Supervise the fire continuously
Keep children and animals away
Expect sparks when adding fuel
Allow the stove to cool naturally
Dispose of ash responsibly
Do not use the stove when open fires are prohibited. A raised firebox may still fall within local campfire or solid-fuel restrictions.
It is a portable metal firebox that burns small pieces of dry wood beneath a cooking grate. This model folds flat for storage and does not require a propane or butane cylinder.
The compact reference configuration measures approximately 5.9 × 5.5 × 8.3 inches when assembled and about 5.5 × 1.5 × 8.3 inches when folded.
The reference weight is approximately 2 lb or 0.91kg. The final weight depends on panel thickness, grate design, ash tray and stainless steel grade.
Not necessarily. The reference configuration uses a 304 stainless steel cooking grate with a stainless steel firebox. An all-304 version can be developed, but it should only be advertised after the complete BOM has been verified.
It collects loose ash beneath the fuel grate and helps prevent ash from immediately blocking the lower airflow path. It should only be emptied after the stove is fully cool.
No. Removing it during operation can release hot ash and change the airflow. Wait until the fire is extinguished and every component has cooled.
Yes. Short fuel pieces can be added through the front-loading door while suitable cookware remains on the top grate.
No. It is a conventional ventilated wood-burning stove, not a verified secondary-combustion smokeless stove. Dry wood and a hot, well-ventilated fire can reduce visible smoke but cannot eliminate it.
A charcoal-compatible configuration may be available. The grate, ventilation and ash clearance must be approved for that fuel before charcoal compatibility is printed on the packaging.
Only if a dedicated, correctly supported insert has been designed and tested. A loose burner should not be placed inside the chamber.
Compact camping kettles, pots and pans with stable bases are the most appropriate. The safe maximum diameter and load should be confirmed through testing of the final model.
It can be carried on short hiking and bushcraft trips, but at approximately 2 lb it is heavier than an ultralight titanium stove. It is particularly suitable for camping, fishing, vehicle-supported travel and emergency kits.
It produces an open wood fire, but its primary purpose is cooking. It should not be marketed as a recreational fire pit unless that use has been separately evaluated and included in the instructions.
Not directly. Heat can transfer through the base, and sparks or embers may escape. Use it only on an appropriate non-combustible surface with adequate heat protection.
A carry bag is included in the reference configuration. Fabric, zipper, handles, color and logo can be customized.
Yes. INTECAMP can provide logo application, retail cartons, carry-bag branding, multilingual manuals, barcodes and destination-market warning labels.
MOQ depends on the stainless steel grade, panel thickness, logo method, carry bag and packaging. A standard construction with custom carton artwork normally requires less development than a new firebox size.
No. Testing, warnings, traceability and importer information must be matched to the destination market and the exact production configuration.
Please provide the destination country, estimated order quantity, body material, grate specification, packaging format, branding method, required testing and target delivery date.
