I will review Belmont’s bonfire stand TABI after actually using it. I have summarized the good points and points to be careful about.
The good points about this bonfire stand that I felt after actually using it are as follows.
Most of the firewood sold at Japanese campsites is 35 to 40 cm in length.
On the other hand, the bottom plate of TABI is 36cm long, so you can put the firewood directly into the bonfire stand without having to cut it, making it more convenient to use.
If you want a bonfire stand to be too compact, you’ll have to cut up the firewood, so it’s the perfect size to use.
TABI is a compact bonfire stand, but it burns wood very well. Coniferous trees will burn out quickly even with large firewood.
Although it is not superior to other companies’ products, I was able to feel that the combustion efficiency is comparable to that of a bonfire stand.
I also found it convenient to be able to adjust the air passage by removing and attaching the side panels.
Although it depends on the weather conditions, we were able to stay warm without any problems at 1°C and in a light wind environment.
The thermometer measured approximately 6 degrees Celsius in front of the bonfire, and I could actually feel the warmth.
You can further increase the warmth by using a reflector.
Below are the points to keep in mind when using it.
When lighting a bonfire on a bonfire stand, the combustion efficiency will be poor unless you create a proper air passage between the firewood and the firewood.
Because TABI is compact, if you put firewood in it without thinking about its placement, the air flow will be extremely poor and the combustion efficiency will drop.
You need to be careful to place the firewood so that it does not block the air passages.
TABI has a close distance between the bottom plate and the grill, so if you place large firewood on it, you won’t be able to place the grill.
You can force the grill to be installed, but the grill and flame are too close together, so this condition is not very suitable for cooking.
Basically, it is best to use charcoal for cooking.
You can cook with a bonfire, but you cannot enjoy the bonfire itself.
If you want to cook while having a bonfire, we recommend using the grill from his Japanese 100 yen shop, “DAISO.”
You can increase the distance between the grill and the flames, so you can cook while making a bonfire.
Distance to firewood and grill.
I will explain how to make this grill in another article.

After actually using Belmont’s bonfire stand “TABI”, I found that it is lightweight and compact, has good combustion efficiency, and is great for keeping warm and cooking. I felt it was very good for solo camping.
In particular, I think the lightness of 423g is the strength of his TABI.
Thoughtful design, functionality, and portability. This bonfire stand shines with the fine workmanship that is unique to Japanese brands.
Please give it a try too.
