Dear Friends,

In 2011, I organised a group sale of Bulin B5 stove for BPL members. The response was fantastic and I thank you all for your support.

I have been made aware of some serious quality issues with the B5 stove. The one thing I refuse to compromise on is quality. Although no one has me asked for a return or a refund, I am very sad that this happened. You trusted me and I am sorry that I failed to deliver the highest quality product.

In order to show my commitment to highest quality products, I am offering a $35 rebate per stove to everyone who bought a BULIN B5 stove from me. You can use this rebate on my new Vaprloft Quilts or any future products.

I look forward to your continuing support in my new venture.

Best Regards,
Huzefa Siamwala

What's the story with the stove? What quality issues are you talking about? Are there any safety concerns? A little more info would be greatly appreciated.

Echoing Al here. I would love some more info. I bought a stove and I wanted to know what's up here.

Angelo and Al,

This thread (and the link by hikin Jim) should give you details about the issues Huzefa is speak about:

The stove in the above link is not the same as one I sold. I don't think Bulin makes that model.


My issue is this: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/xdpy/forum_thread/52723/index.html

The issue here is that the fuel line disintegrates when running in liquid (inverted) mode. This is the only report I have come across. Otherwise the stove works fine when canister is upright. FYI, I did not have the fuel line distingrating in inverted mode on my expedition.
