Jim Falk's Bushwhacker stove is similar, except it has another can around the inner can. If you use the inner can and outer can together, you don't need to feed it with sticks. Just fill it up once and you're good. If you use just the outer can, then it's like the Bushbuddy and needs to be fed. I have this stove and it really is a lot of fun to use. Very little soot, too. There's a learning curve in getting it lit, because you need for it to burn from the top down to create the gases. But, I'm happy with it.
