I bought this stove in 2018. Cut out some hardware cloth to fit over the fuel plate and wood pellets will work perfectly. Just twizzle some hand sanitizer over the pellets and it takes off. Beware, however, that with the pellets you can't control the amount of heat output/flames. It's all or nothing. Combining sticks and pellets will give you more control over the heat output...ie, begin with the pellets and when you don't need a roaring flame fire slow down the flames by using the sticks as needed.

The black just wipes right off with washing. Even the almost plasticized, gloss black mess from high heat, no problem, no real scrubbing required. It's great, like, two thumbs up. I started washing it all off and repainting each time but soon realized if you just wash the inside of the pot and keep the side fairly dry, it lasts a long time. Now where you get clay, idk, I happen to have a pile of red clay delivered for yard work, but for how little it takes you could probably buy a chunk at an art supplier that would last ages.

We purchased the TomShoo brand. The "deluxe" version came with the stainless steel wire grill, an ash pan for the bottom, a solid fuel plate and a storage sack. We liked it for the pot stand. Rather than weak folding legs, you receive two stainless strips with notches in the middle. They are completely flat when not in use. When installed on the top of the stove, the strips form a sturdy X to place your cup or pot on. It works well in many places that will not allow an open fire pit. Other commenters have shared how spirit burners may be used. The parts of the stove make an excellent windshield/pot stand for your Trangia-style spirit burner as well as many DIY alcohol burners. We also use gell alcohol fuel in small aluminum containers because it is inexpensive here in the Philippines. All fuel cubes (solid alcohol and Esbit tables are imported and are super expensive. We have used locally produced lump charcoal from time to time. We want to store some wood pellets. Surprise, not available in the Phils. The only wood pellets I have ever seen here are the "flavoured" variety used for cat litter. Perhaps in an extreme emergency cat litter is OK. I will likely not be out looking for cat littler during a rough patch. The neighbours in our subdivision may think this old guy is "off" a bit when they see me skip a ride on the subdivision's shuttle service and walk home dragging a fallen branch. So be it, I have wood in storage!

The majority of the cat litter pellets are sprayed with a "pine scent" disinfectant, but I've seen it here in England in cheaper places/discount stores labelled as "natural unscented" but I normally just use a wood wool firestarter ball as kindling for lumpwood charcoal in my wood gasifier stove, my neighbours aren't exactly happy I burn stuff to boil water or cook out on the patio 🤣

That was a truly impressive gasifier flame. I have the Lixada, which I like very much. Two reasons why I would buy the Lixada over the Ohuhu: (1) Lixada has cross-pieces that are more stable for the pot and allow the use of a smaller pot; and (2) There's an opening to feed the fire without taking the pot off. If you use a Swedish fire torch type set up with the wood the flame lasts about 30 minutes. The wood pellets are convenient though.

Getting wood delivered by me is not easy, costly and the wood around me is soft and burns too quickly, there is truly no long burn time. I've tried wood pellets and can get about an hour burn and the embers will go another 30 to 45 minutes. Im working on increasing that time. lol.

I LOVE wood gasification stoves !! I have made several from tin cans. My favorite build is out of a stainless steel insulated tall mug. It is super Compact and super efficient and I can normally find dry twigs to cook a cup of Top Ramen or coffee Wherever I Go. No need to carry fuel, if you know where to look for drywood even in wet conditions. Most important thing with this stove is that you light it from the top. So many people make a mistake and try to lite it from the bottom, when I'm car camping I do bring pellets but when I'm hiking on the trail I just pick up twigs and stuff during my walk. Keep up the good job Doc. Some things just can't be beat like the cat food can stove. Simple - cheap - works great. For my weekend Adventures post stoves work fantastic if I was going to climb Mount Everest that would be a different story but I'm too old for that now LOL

I found it fits very well in the Ohuhu stove as far as headspace especially with the grill. It then can be stored inside the Ohuhu using the solid fuel plate as a top hat upside down on top of the pot supports. I car camp so size and weight are not a big problem.

I have that stove and have had it for several years also. I don't use it often, but it still remains one of my favorites.

In my gasification stoves pellets work amazing, in my boundless voyage titanium I'll get around 40 min of useful cook time using the oak pellets.

Like it, have an identical one from another brand (there are plenty of brands selling this model, among others also Lixada and MRF, I guess all these stoves are mady by only one and the same manufacturer) and used it quite often without problems. Didn't try it yet with wood pellets since I have still a good stock (and supply) of wood, but the idea is surely great especially if you live in an urban environment and have difficulties to get proper firewood ... Hadn't to complain about the pot stands so far but the bottom of the thing rusted and broke at several spots between the air holes (still useable). Just let me add a little trick you can do with these (or similar) stoves: once the stove burns only by the gases throuth the top holes, roll a piece of cotton textile to a tight roll and place it under the flame holes on top of your wood/charcoal. If the gasification works well it will not catch fire but the gases only burn, and you get in short time a wonderful roll of char cloth. Take it out fast that it doesn't catch a flame (if it happens, just put it on the ground and step on it to suffocate the flames). It might take you some trials to get this trick done perfectly (it helps to use a white piece of textile or at least some light coloured one which allows you to see it turning black into charred cotton), but once you find it out, you will never again prepare char cloth in a tin ... ;-)

Pellets for pellet grills add a nice flavor variety, especially if you use the grill option. I'd avoid the heating kind for cooking.

Good reminder--thanks! I have several versions of such Chinese stoves, plus Solo stoves, Firebox stoves, and numerous DIY gassifier stoves (a bit of a stove enthusiast....). I've found that any of them will perform very well with wood pellets if a 1/4" bottom screen is used to hold the pellets (if needed). Also, I design beverage can alcohol stoves, and I use my alcohol fuel to start wood pellets--just dribble a tablespoon or so of alcohol on top of the pellets in the same way you used the fire gell. And.... I find most of my wood stoves (or parts of them) will work well as pot stands/wind screens for my alcohol stoves (if you want to include alcohol and alcohol stoves in your emergency kits). Enjoyed the video!

Bought mine off ebay 6-7 year's ago for £10, an excellent stove and totally free to use if you burn wood not pellets, I've not actually tried pellets though.

the Uhuhu stove is so cheap I buy them in multiples and give them away as gifts. I just don't know why everyone complains about the pot supports. They work as intended. Every one I bought came with the round grill and the solid fuel dish. My Ohuhu will accompany me on all my international treks!

Ive had one of these for a few years. I carry this and a trangia as a part of my cook kit. I just collect fuel as Im walking. I have never had to buy fuel for it. My alcohol stove also fits inside and works well with it.

Dood! This is ideal! Perfect even! Nothing fancy and it doesn't look like it will fall apart after 3 times used. The price is not scary either. Thank you for doing this video! 👍👍👍

Thank you! I have a version of this, but I don't remember the brand. I never thought of using the wood pellets. Going to get a bag and a tote to keep on hand for emergencies. I've got 6 kids that can go hunting for sticks and whatnot, teens that are into making tinder, but sometimes it's just wet, or we're in a hurry. Have a blessed week!

Hi Earnie. Love your videos, seem like this was recorded just before you got enough of those bad comments and hard work having a youtube channel. As a stove geek from Denmark, I have appreciated your videos a lot, and I just had to buy this stove... my 50th stove I guess... Wish you all the best.

It's a brilliant stove used as demonstrated.I like to tip the upper half part and prop it up inside the base at angle to catch the wind the embers really take off then.its not really heavy either.
