My new Bush Buddy Ultra arrived at my doorstep today. It’s very nicely crafted as many of you have mentioned except for one thing. The fit of the top portion to the bottom is SUPER loose. Like about an eighth inch of play. So the top portion has a ton of room to slide back and forth as it sits on its seat. Is this how they all are or do I just have a defective one??
I took a double exposure photo that kinda shows how much travel there is:
You can get a much better idea by clicking back and forth between these two photos.
So naturally when I invert the top part and place it inside the bottom for storage there’s still a ton of play, enough that it would rattle a lot in the pack I’m sure.
Here’s a shot showing the top portion placed inside bottom for storage:
Obviously this wouldn’t affect the stove’s performance, my complaint here is just cosmetic. But when I pay a premium price for a piece of gear I expect it to work well and have nice fit and finish. This is pretty disappointing so I’m thinking of shipping it back to Fritz unless this is just how they all are. Hope you guys can enlighten me.
Thanks!
Gordon
