Lixada Multi Fuel Stove - First Test

Lixada Multi Fuel stove amzn.to/3rpb5BF
I recently purchased the Lixada Multi Fuel Stove to add to my gear. This is my first test of the stove to put it together and see how it lights.
There is an issue that I need to investigate further where taking it apart the gas is still pressurized in the bottle causing it to spray all over the place.
I've done a little write-up of it on my blog: agesadventures...

I have noticed that the guys that don't read the manuals, tends to have shorter life expectancy. Thank for the enthusiasm!

[@agesadventures]

Well, I did read the instructions there, but I'm not sure they helped, lol😁 I think it's good to read the manuals so we don't wreak our new purchases😀 I really like this stove and have used it a bunch of times since I filmed this video. It works really well. I should revisit it with a review now that I know it better and can talk to it with experience. I appreciate you having a look😊

[@ashab1]

I have started watching these videos for the lolz, put the matches away lad. I'd like to know how long the pumps on these last as they are like £16 the MSR ones do fail especially if abused and not looked after, I'd like to see if one of these could be modified to fit the dragonfly. On a serious note be careful with accelerants and combustible fluids not just you specifically just people getting these not knowing what they are doing, and if you ever find a crack in the pump or it doesn't seem right don't use it there is a god chance it will fail under pressure and spray you with petrol and ignite, not a happy ending to anyone's day.

[@klyddmeisters]

If you take a look in the box there is a white paper with a lot of letters. This is the manual.. Maybe you should read it first or watch other videos how to do.. Pump up pressure. Open and close the valve for 1 second or so. Light up the stove. When it start to burn out it is hot enough to open the valve a little little bit at a time until you get a nice blue flame

[@agesadventures]

I guess you didn't watch the whole video. That's ok😁 Thanks for your support👍👍

[@John-yb8mx]

LMAO. Absolutely crazy video.

[@agesadventures]

It was my first time checking it out😁 I'm quite used to the stove now and it works very well😃

[@Ody666100]

Which nozel should we use for butane?

[@agesadventures]

You would use the nozzle that comes installed on the stove which also you use with white gas (naphtha). You use that for isobutane as well.

[@Exstaz]

This is why you get a Optimus Polaris. You have a safe way of relieving pressure and way better control with a valve just by the nozzle.

[@agesadventures]

I agree that a proper release valve would be great! I've since learned to slowly open the bottle and it releases a bit better. I do like what I see of the Optimus Polaris and maybe one day, if I need a replacement I'll, get one. Thank you for taking a look😁

[@Chainsaw2373]

This one will depressurize just like an MSR IF you read all of the directions. I have one is how I know, not the video.

[@albertorossetti5375]

Do you have try to use "waste cooking oil" like conventional diesel?

[@agesadventures]

Hi Alberto, I have not tried “waste cooking oil”. I think you are talking about what we call BioDiesel here in Canada. I believe it should work because it is processed. If I find a station that sells BioDiesel, I’ll try it with the stove. I would think straight cooking oil would not work. It would be too viscous and not vapourise. They also talk about it here: bushcraftusa.com/forum/threads/cooking-oil-as-fuel-in-multi-fuel-stove.87079/ This stove will work with diesel, gasoline, alcohol, kerosene, naphtha, iso-butane, butane, and propane. There are three nozzles (fuel jets) that come with it. Depending on the fuel source you need to change the nozzle. Thanks for watching!

For how longer it will work after filling it full

[@agesadventures]

Thank you for watching the video! In this first test I was not able to get it to start up again after I had briefly turned it off. In my second video "Lixada Multi Fuel Stove - Fail" I had the problem where it shut off on its own and would not restart. I've taken it out a third time and I'll get a video up soon of that experience. It worked this time and I was able to turn it off and restart it with no problem. When I did that test, I had the bottle filled approximately half way and I had the burner running for about 32 minutes. I would estimate that it used one quarter of the fuel that I had in the bottle. I will test the stove again and fill the bottle to the fill line and burn it as long as it will go. I'll then let you know the results.

[@ghufrantariq8357]

@@agesadventures your kind response is appreciated.....

[@agesadventures]

I went out and tested how long it will burn. The bottle holds 500 ml (2 cups or 16 oz) however the max fill level is set at approximately 420 ml. I had a measuring cup so I filled it with 250 ml of naphtha (Coleman fuel or white gas) and let it burn until it ran out of fuel. It burned for 2 hours and 8 minutes. So if you were to fill it up to the fill line then it should burn for 3 hours and 35 minutes. I was quite impressed how long it stayed lit on a small amount of fuel.

[@pedroclaro7822]

@@agesadventures irrc alcohol burns longer but also doesn’t burn as hot as that. If you carry a bottle of isopropyl you can clean wounds, tools and use it as backup fuel in case you need it. Cheers

[@agesadventures]

@@pedroclaro7822 thank you Pedro! That's a great suggestion! Much appreciated 😁

[@afaqreports5080]

you need to let it cool for 05-06 mins, then open the lid.

[@agesadventures]

I'll try that.

[@bigstick5278]

DUDE!! You did so well until you attempted to re light it, then you went brain dead George McFly full out FUBAR!! So to clear the tube and have it basically stop the flame. While it's on full flame, flip the tank to the opposite side and let it purge the fuel line because the pickup tube inside the canister is sucking air and not fuel (It may say Off on the black plastic pump housing if that side is up then it's the opposite side of the intake. Then turn off the valve once the flame is gone. (NOTE) don't remove the hose from the pump first, standing the tank up slowly unscrew the pump and release the pressure slowly between the tank and the pump or you'll have fuel spraying all over the place pulling the valve first. That pump is close copy of the Primus Ergo pump, the ones with the little red knob that you use to screw the hose valve and pump together fall apart and leak.

[@agesadventures]

It's all good. I've had a year and a half to figure it out😁Pre-heating it properly really helps with lighting it and re-lighting it. I think I've tried flipping it on the other side before and it will still get gas to suck through because it's pressurised in the bottle, but I'll give it another shot in the next couple of weeks because I plan on testing this out a little more with other fuel sources too. I appreciate you dropping by and leaving some good tips!

[@bigstick5278]

@@agesadventures :: The tube is out of the fuel when you flip it, your tube should be bent on a angle above the fuel line in that position. Turning to the other side it's submerged into the fuel. I've replaced that plastic tube with a brass tube from Ace Hardware, Also use 90% or Denatured Alcohol in a small squeeze bottle to preheat my stoves, keeps the jet hole clean and no black shit getting all over in my back pack or hands.😁

Good attempt to explain proper operation.
