Let’s be honest. We spend more time making modifications than we do camping so having a cheap stove to MacGyver over in the evenings is good clean fun! My favorite gear is the gear I have experimented with and modified. That’s the enjoy enjoyment of Bushcraft!! Thanks for the video. Well done and has me thinking… again.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I do agree. I love tinkering to make "improvements" and then I feel the item is more mine. Thanks for commenting

Our family appreciates the revisit of a product review after it has seen extended use. Knowing how well it performed, any shortcomings, and the important DIY improvement(s) helps us to make informed buying decisions.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for commenting

[@kevinmccarthy6718]

Definitely only a starter stove, but there are better starter stoves. As you said, this stove needs too many modifications to be really useful. I have smaller version of this stove a neighbor to use. Still have the larger version used mostly as small fire pit. Not too belabor the point, but my large Skyemac stove I only added a couple put stands to make it draft better. Skyemac was even less expensive also. Thanks for update video Mark!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I have looked at the Skyemac. Much more expensive here in Canada. Thanks for commenting

[@markperry222]

Another nice vid thanks. With the handles, you could easily get some stainless steel wire or welding rods and make new handles that are tall enough to lock the grill mesh. Another idea I had was to use a couple of steel ruler that are long enough to reach across the diagonals, and then put a slot in the centre of each ruler so they interlock at 90 degrees, then make the slots to fit across the corner of the stove. This way you could use any pot size from small to large. It may also make the stove a bit more rigid/stable.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Actually, I will likely remove the handles as they really don't serve a purpose. A set of X cross bars do make sense. Thanks for commenting

[@taber247]

Hi Mark, No reply necessary, thanks for sharing. I immediately dug out my 140mm sq x 210mm tall model and the handle positions are high enough up, on the front and rear to facilitate them being used as locators for the removable grill (if desired). I have tweeked my handles to stay up, but they can be pushed down. The grill I have xways resting on the hinged sides, and may file locating slots in those side panels. Your model, has the handles set too low for them to be used as grill mesh locators. You are owed apologies. Take care, best regards Colin

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thank you for this. I don't mind being wrong and have someone correct me. Thanks for commenting

[@northwind7409]

Mark, I find that it helps to consider any budget item, whether for bushcraft use or a machine shop tool, to be a kit. It comes with most of the parts you need, but will likely need some additions or modifications to be what you really wanted. If you add a second set of notches for your high pot stands, outboard of the ones your friend made, it will improve the pot stability for the large pots. The current locations look a bit close together for that size pot.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I am thinking I will cross-corners with an X pot stand. Could make it wider than the stove. Thanks for commenting

[@Biomass1]

Line the inside with aluminum foil when using a candle if it's dirty or rusty. Makes a big difference to get that light out.

I have my firebox stoves, a regular snd the nano. They are my favs. I have one similar to the one you are reviewing here. It was cheap. It’s large, it’s heavy. It’s wobbly tho. But it’s ok. I prefer my gasification stove for most things that require boiled water. My large firebox stove to grill meat. The nano for hiking cuz it’s so light weight. I use my large firebox at home as a mini BBQ. And the gasification one to boil some rice to go with my meat. It’s nice to cook outside on a warm summer day that I don’t want to heat up the house.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

[@andrewbadinski7040]

Hi Mark, your absolutely right, there are a few versions of this stove. the design of your particular stove is slightly different. Mine is identical in every way except the handles on mine are higher which makes them to protrude over the top of the stove allowing the handles of the grill to sit over the top which helps it stay in place. No notches needed. Mine works beautifully. The only modification I have made is a thicker ash grate, which makes the whole stove a lot more stable and rigid. Love you reviews, always look forward to your next ones.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I like the idea of a thicker ash pan. Thanks for commenting

[@S.Y-a-ok]

If you put the "handles" on the stove through the grill handles. It prevents the grill falling off and keeps the handle away from the door. Hope this makes sense. 🤔 + setting it up this way makes it more ridged once you place a pot on top.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thanks for commenting

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

Thank you for this Video. I have one of this stoves, mine came with a Solid piece of Metal that you slide underneath the lower grate, to catch the ashes. I like the idea about using the other grill you cut to lay over the bottom grate, to keep the wood in. I also found that if you keep the opening to the wind, it generates the heat to the top, heating your pot quicker. I collect the ashes to make a fire paste (from another Bushcraft video, I believe it is from James Bender). I myself so far like my little stove and thank you so much for the additional information to help make my experiences better with my stove!🥰

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I demonstrate the ash pan in the original video. I did see the fire past video. Interesting. Thanks for commenting

[@jimf1964]

Morning Mark! Well, you know me. The only way to make it perfect is to throw it out and get a Firebox.😀. However it is really inexpensive, and I do agree that for someone who rarely camps, or doesn’t want to spend much, it’s hard to say no to this. And honestly, something foldable like that, that could do charcoal isn’t a bad idea. Just not enough surface area. As for all the people insisting on something that can’t be done, there’s plenty of KZbin experts out there.

[@alanjohnson9171]

You were spot on with your observations. The early stove has short carry Handless and the handles on the later stove are taller so do reach through the griddle. Great video 👍 cheers🍻

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

Mark, I pulled my stove out again and looked at it carefully. I found that the handles on both sides do hold the top grate in place...I tried it out. The handles on the stove wall is smaller then the grate handles. When you set the grate on the stovetop, you then lift the two handles on the stove inside the handles from the grate. It is loose, but it keeps the top grate from sliding off the stove!🥰 The First time I used the stove I was wondering about the handles as well, and like you I put it off as a way to carry the stove. The top grate slid off as I removed the pot. But now that I watched your video, I pulled my stove out again to look at it, and it occurred to me that these handles are designed to hold the top grate in place. So to cut the notches was not necessary... I thought that was a brilliant idea. And then I figured it out 🥰

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad it worked for you. My stove is older so they do not work. Thanks for commenting

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

I tried it also , I think it depends on when or where it was made. My handles miss by about 1/2” . I don’t think quality control is watched well

[@mikevandebunt811]

I enjoy watching your videos about this stove, but since I have a 5 inch Firebox stove (and 2 Nanos) I have never felt the need to pick one up. Thanks for the video.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Totally with you on that. This was fun to work on but I would always reach for my Gen2 5" FB before this one. Thanks for commenting

[@rosewood513]

I love your videos. I just watched this one this morning. You asked for suggestions, I have one. I hope this is a good idea. When you need a thin stick to use to elevate the stove inside. Knitting needles may be a good idea. They come in many sizes, The regular ones can either be 13 /2 inches long and have a head on top so they won't slide through. They also have one that is 9 3/4 inches long with a head. These come in many widths, from about number 6 to 8 might be good. They also have double-pointed needles with no head, they are 7". I often see these at second-hand and discount stores cheaply.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I have not had anyone suggest knitting needles before. Great suggestion. I assume you mean metal ones, not plastic😅. Thanks for commenting

[@MTMith]

Thanks for another thorough review, Mark. Still haven't dropped the money for a Firebox. One day!

[@redpillnibbler4423]

Hello,I’ve just bought the same one under the TOMOUNT brand name,it doesn’t have any of the modifications but I’ll DIY them 👍 I like your ideas. The first thing I did with my new one was cut my finger - twice! - so sanding down the sharp edges was job no.1 What you say about the carry handles is correct. Regarding the candle lantern, you could cut a drinks can open and place it inside so the candle reflects off the cans inner surface,then fold it flat each time to store with the the stove. I haven’t tested it properly yet but it actually seems a really good value bit of kit 👍

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for commenting

[@gud2go50]

I’m sad to see some people are so cruel! I enjoyed this video and got some great ideas for my stove. My version does allow me to lock in the side bars in order to hold the grate in place. I was trying to figure out how to use my alcohol stove with it and you gave me the answer. I have a ton of tent stakes laying around. Thank you!😊

The handles on the small stove can be used to stableize the grill. Larger stove not so much

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thanks for commenting

[@captainuralify]

I drilled some large 1/2 holes about 3/4 down from the top on the 2 non hinged sides to increase ventilation when using the grill instead of adding pot stands.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Yes, great suggestion. Thanks for commenting

[@70cimabue]

I had many various types of these backpacking wood stoves….to me this one of the best..expensive ones failed by not burning properly without modifications…the mid range ones are too small….this particular size is a perfect, burn’s efficiently if you place a a plate on the bottom with smaller holes for air intake and mine never warped after over 100+ uses (had massive heat with 2 foot flames). Plus I add made side skewer holders to cook skewered meats on the outside side of the fire box.. Only one negative for me and that is the weight…thankfully I’m a bigger person and the weight doesn’t effect me, but it is a little heavy for the size…

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I am thinking that the weight is actually lighter, given the size, than say a Firebox stove. Thanks for commenting

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Mark, those handles; only thing I can think of is push them all the way in to allow the "legs" to spring clip onto the grate from the inside, I assume this is possible since it looks to have pressed out "hinges"; having said that, they dont look long enough for that either, (without further modification anyway), and with your simple notched solution ........ why even bother. I do like the door feature, but yep for feeding in solid fuel, agree too big a cavity, though for refueling an alcohol burner mid cook, gotta be a good thing. I wonder if a remote gas stove would fit inside, (door open for the hose and perhaps with it's legs and pot "arms" not fully deployed), for even more options ? @ the very least as a windsheild and as a bonus to funnel the heat and utilise the various pot stand and grill accessories. Cheers Duke.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Dropping the alcohols stove down inside and using the stove as a windshield is a good suggestion.. Thanks for commenting Duke

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft I'm actually suggesting a remote stove may well fit through the door too, with perhaps not fully deployed, (spread), legs/arms depending on internal dimensions of the box stove i.e. the legs would be captivated inside, fully deployed or not, and avail the benefits of a windshield, heat funnel and the grill. Being a remote design the canister sits outside, the door open facilitates the hose. Perhaps a stretch, but if it can be done, you needn't carry a specific windshield for a remote job and you have an inherent solid fuel option at the same time. See where I'm coming from ?

[@donbittel3693]

The earlier version had the handles slip inside to get out of the way of the feed door. The later versions had permanent handles that could swing up to hold the grate handle slots, locking the grate from sliding. I have both stoves.

I appreciate the information. Thanks for commenting

[@Biomass1]

Instead of the stove, I bought their folding charcoal starter. It had about an inch and a quarter hole in one side. I used a Dremel to bring it up to about 3 inches. It works great. Similar to a rocket stove.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

That's a great idea! Thanks for commenting

[@antomanelven]

the new ones of these are a lot different as you said, with the handle position and the added holes. they are a bargain for the weight and price you pay, and simple to set up it just pops open. other types for ultralight and such you have to put together every time you stop to cook. all in all its a bargain for the 15-20 dollars they cost and the years you will get out of it

Very nice video. I think you do a great job of being very careful in your comments to avoid being bombastic or unpleasant, and to admit that other people may have different experiences and opinions about the equipment you review. I don't have a folding stove, but I would like to get one soon. Is there a stove you could recommend for, say, $50 or less? Thanks for your efforts in making these videos.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thank you for your kind words. Other than the one in this video, you may not be able to find a hinged folding stove for $50.00; However, there are a number of collapsible stoves for that price like the Uberleben Flat Pack stove (I have a review). You may want to consider a DIY stove like the Ikea Hobo Stove I have a 3-part video). I do have a number of stove videos that may help you decide.

I bought this stove in the spring of 2020. By winter of 2020 it was burnt out. To be fair I used the stove heavily, The box itself was warped and a little loose, but was still functional. The mesh top had burnt out. I just looked at the stove on Amazon US. It has reduced in price by $4 since I last purchased it. Plus it is offered in your choice of the wire mesh top, a grill top, or a pot stand top. It did not have the holes in the sides, but I think that would be a worthy modification. I would use it to support a Trangia. I would buy the stove again, especially at the $24 asking price today. I would opt for the grill top. But I have migrated to Firebox Stoves. Those are bomb proof and I do not think I will be needing to replace them.

I purchased this stove years ago on eBay. It came wrapped up in this blue plastic. Getting that plastic off was a pain. The stove legs came bent, the seller refunded me $2. Total cost was around $15. As to how the handles work. I thought the same as you. I have a larger, heavier version of this stove. I think I may have both versions of short handles that lock nothing down without a small piece of wire. I looked at the price of this stove linked to Amazon. I did not pay half of what the asking price is for the larger stove. No comparison to the Bushcraft or Firebox stoves. The nice thing about this stove, not much assembly is required.

[@spud181818]

Mark i have the smaller stove and you can use the handles for the top grate, but ive seen a bigger model of my small stove and the handles dont reach the top grate. It also think it depends on the factory that made the stove i believe your stove is taller above the wood feeding door than mine, so it can hold more fuel but because of that it lost the use of the handles for the grate.

nice modifications

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thanks for commenting

[@Gator-357]

If you wrap some stainless window screen around your grate, it will keep your pellets from falling through and if you make it to where ut's just snug, it will help keep the stove from being so wobbly. And yes, you have to make sure to keep it clean. It is not solid stainless, it is plated carbon steel, which is why they warp so easily. On a budget, these are good little stoves but are going up in price so as to make other options just as viable. Also, I took off that ring and added a piece of wire bent at a double anlge to make it easier to open and close

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Nice video. Thanks. I have this stove and really enjoy it. It is usually my "campfire" when I go camping. One of the reasons I like to use it with the door open, is so I can feed in longer sticks. I clicked on your link and the stove shown on Amazon shows none of the modifications you mentioned. Also, my stove came with only 1 handle which I assume was for picking it up. To reduce the size of the fire grate, I cut a piece of expanded metal and that has worked well. I do like the idea of burning pellets so I'm going to modify it with the holes you described. I like to use carcoal too and I think the bottom holes would be a good rung for that. You said the holes were 1" apart but how far down from the top are the first holes? I also have a Firebox but I enjoy using this more. I'm wondering if you can lay the large billy down across the pot stand bars to bake with it. I find the pot stand bars used crosswise really annoying with the Firebox. Just a pain to line them up and get them hooked in. Fussy imo. In fact, I've gone back to using a Dutch oven for baking. Weight is not a problem for me and DOs are so much more versatile. In fact, when I used to backpack, no way would I even carry a Firebox for baking. I used a simple twig, alcohol, esbit stove for many many years and that worked super. Would be useful for canoe camping or motorcycle camping though. Thanks again for another great video.

A folding stove has the benefit of being easier to pack but I have never had a circular stove warp. I just have to find the right pot to store it in. Thanks for commenting

@@MarkYoungBushcraft I have the Ohuhu gasification stove, it fits perfectly into an MSR 775ml pot.

My friend you drilled holes, cut notches and had to bend a latch... Plus a different grate. You did the best you could with a poorly designed item. Don't let it bother! :)

No worries. Trying my best. Thanks for commenting

There was some rust despite oiling after use. Not good quality steel. Thanks for commenting
