Works too well....... Components melt – First time use resulted in the locking pins Melting. These hold the legs and flue in place. Not happy as the unit is a great size for camping....its going back to Bunnings as its not safe. Stevie P Show details

Perfect Product !!! – What a great, solidly built little outdoor stove. Sure there are other options out there but value for money, this little stove is, by far, a little rippa. When informed about a problem with the locking pins melting became an issue, they replaced mine with the steel ones without hesitation and their follow up was perfect. Its now Friday afternoon… Read more
and I can't wait to get home, fire my Wooshka up and cook tea on it, then relax with a beer and watch the flames.
Ripper little cooker – This little camper/stove is a really versatile little system. Perfect for use at home, but equally portable For those trips away. You can cook just about anything on it and and flue oxen is great for cooking up tasty pies and sausage rolls of a cold day. This will see many years of use. Show details
Parts of it are okay – As a fire pit its pretty good , the hot water unit is excellent. The 60 mm flue is constructed wrong in that the male /female connections are reversed which result in creosote running down the outside of the flue ( imagine if your indoor heater flue was the same !!! ) . No you can't reverse the flue as the 45 degree flue that locks into the fire… Read more
box cannot be reversed , you would need more parts to modify it . The flue oven struggles to get hot , the BBQ plate can be too hot to cook on yet the oven sits around 100 C . The oven could possibly used as a food warmer . The flue being back to front drips creosote onto the oven which removes the paint on the oven as good as paint stripper . There could be better units on the market but if you just want a fire box with a bbq and grill plate and hot water heater go for it . Be prepared to wash the black sticky creosote off the outside of the flue pipe sections prior to packing away .
The best camper cooker! – We hastily purchased ours from Bunnings so that we'd be ready for a weekend trip and we were so happy with the outcome. Compact and versatile, the grill handled everythign we threw at it and the warmer (oven) kept pies warm all thru the night. If there is one gripe, it's that perhaps the oven doesn't get hot enough for something like breads.… Read more
But, it was more than up to the challenge for grilling and its size makes it far easier to store than the Ozpig. What a great unit!
Perfect camp cooking solution – After trying a couple of the other "pig" type fireplaces we settled on the Wooshka and could not be happier with it. The fire box is nice and roomy and unlike some of its competitors, you can get a good sized fire going inside for warmth or cooking. It packs away neatly into itself even with some of the accessories included. Weve found it to be a… Read more
clean, safe and easy way of cooking both when camping and at home. On the downside, it is quite heavy. Well worth the money
2019 Wooshka Camp oven issues - please read before you buy! – This looked like a great product on the face of it - solid, quality build with lots of accessories. A nice bit of kit that sits nicely between the Ozpig and a firepit and has the advantages of both. I bought it from Bunnings in Oct 2019, got it home to find the door latch mechanism broken. The moving & removable parts (door, legs etc) seem to… Read more
mostly attach to the base unit using small old fashioned rivet type affairs, by which I mean they are cylindrical slugs of steel, some hammered round in much the same fashion as ships in the Titanic era, some may have been lightly brazed in place - hard to tell. Sadly they are not up to the job. After finding the door one which had simply fallen out rather than broken, I managed to sort it out by reheating & hammering it back down. Took it out for a try and worked great - got it back home to find the same little brazed/riveted connectors that are crucial to holding the legs in place have begun to fall out. 2 have come loose in the first use and I'm sure the rest will follow. Without these it is unusable entirely - there's simply no other way round it. Such a shame because it really is a great unit otherwise. The legs attach via a very unsuitable screw in system that immediately you can see will not last long, similarly the first part of the flue attaches via complicated flanges that look like they too will grind away fast and fail leaving the product again immediately unusable. It's on it's way back to Bunnings sadly. The answer is simply to weld these lugs in place - and this should have been a basic design flaw picked up in testing. Plus the flue attachment could have been made much more robust, easier and less likely to fail. The reason I'm writing this is because I called Scandia simply as a courtesy to report the issue and was fairly brusquely told that my comments would be passed on to the creative team. The lady who answered clearly was not familiar with the product, didn't want to know any details and brushed me off after less than 30 seconds on the phone. Such a shame that a potentially great product has been pretty much condemned by a simple design fault - I do hope someone at Scandia or maybe even Bunnings sees this review, and I certainly hope potential buyers see it to avoid getting one until the fixes are made, because it isn't a one-off issue, the problems will be the same with all of them. Thanks, Stuart.
