A Glimpse into History
It’s no secret that we have a certain interest in and respect for old-school designs, and manufacturing techniques. For the most part, utility and quality were first and foremost in previous times, something that here at Homecamp we try to emulate as best we can.
Undoubtedly the 19th century was a historic peak for invention and innovation and numerous products have been revived from this era, however, it was quite a surprise when Winnerwell gave us an exclusive sneak peek of their Limited Edition Iron Stove.
These iron stoves were primarily designed to heat irons for smoothing clothing, harkening back to a time before the widespread use of electricity, reflecting an era when innovative solutions were crafted to meet everyday needs. This historical perspective offers a glimpse into how people adapted and devised tools to simplify their lives before the convenience of modern technology.
Modern Revival by Winnerwell
Winnerwell drew inspiration from this classic design and cleverly transformed it into a highly adaptable camping or emergency stove crafted from durable cast iron.
Meticulously engineered, this stove has an enduring build featuring an ultra-sturdy cast iron fuel tank and a stainless steel burner with a chunky brass valve knob and gasket. The stove is equipped with a charming reinforced Mica glass viewing window and a grill top that can easily support a cast iron pan* or the Winnerwell-made, Cast Iron Grill* accessory (available separately) – perfect for direct cooking. Once heated, the stove emanates plenty of warmth and light, creating a delightfully cozy camping atmosphere.
This stove is not just a product, but an investment, making it an excellent choice as a gift.
Craftsmanship & Utility
The stove operates on kerosene (preferably low odour), a readily available and cost-effective fuel source. With its 600ml fuel tank, it can provide 5-6 hours of operation, and kerosene can be purchased in bulk for as little as 50 cents per litre, making this stove a highly economical choice.
Who might like this? Well, history buffs and vintage/antique collectors, of course. But beyond this, it’s a super practical, reliable and efficient stove, with a simple design and well-made build. It’s not just for collectors, we believe it has a much broader appeal – a device so practical and well-made, that won’t let you down in an emergency and creates a nice vibe at camp.
We have a test model coming soon which we will photograph and video in action.
The ‘Iron Stove’ would make an impressive and original gift. They are coming in limited numbers so it’s best to pre-order now to avoid disappointment.

Customer Reviews
This little camp stove is great. They’re quite expensive but I think it’s well worth it. It’s well built with quality materials, easy to use and adds a great ambience to your camping. I use it instead of starting a camp fire, I can put it on my table under my awning so can sit by it for warmth. It’s great to cook on, too. Quick and easy to light again in the morning to boil water for coffee.
Amazing little gadget! Can't wait to get out and have a crack with it, I already got it packed with my overnight gear :)
Hi Eliot, yes is a very tidy unit - let us know what you think once you crank it up :)
