Tomshoo Wood Gasifier Wood Stove And Tinned Haggis

[@tomb7901]

I've had it wrong. I've been just tossing the twigs in any which way and, while it still worked, it ate the twigs. I was loading more twigs in constantly. Thanks for showing that they have to be piled vertically and packed tightly. I'll do that from now on. That, and try wood pellets. 👍🏻

[@robtherover]

Glad the vid will be of use to you. I tried wood pellets once and they just smouldered. But think they might’ve been damp. Must try it again sometime.

903 subscribers showing now, brilliant mate 👍. What amazes me about these stoves is the engineering and efficiency of them. Smoke from a normal fire is wasted unburnt fuel going up in the air, these stove create a secondary burn to actually burn their own smoke so very little energy is wasted. And the burn process is so efficient that if you leave the hot coals alone after the flames have died away, the wood coals will burn away to almost nothing. 2 full loads and a 3 hrs burn time leaves a pile of ashes less than half the size of the palm of you hand.

[@robtherover]

Cheers mate. Yeah it’s a great little stove. I should use it more.

[@scottl5028]

Nice one Rob Love my gasifier stove. Had it out the other day for a weekend fry up.. used my trangia burner inside it.. Wood pellets work well aso. 👌🏽

[@robtherover]

Cheers Scott. Must try the pellets again.

Cracking video Rob, I was burning mine yesterday, I think they are an Amazing stove

[@robtherover]

Cool thing isn’t it. Cheers Michael.

[@double531]

Great stuff Rob, haggis on a roll with HP sauce is superb camp scran. 😉

[@robtherover]

I’ve had haggis with brown sauce before. A winning combination of ever there was one.

[@veeeks2938]

I have that exact same stove and use dried hedge clippings in it (I let my hedges get overgrown, like 8ft+ so cut them down a bit and got a crap ton of fuel and tinder, once it was dried oot) Also props for liking grants haggis, the factory is in my neck of the woods and I enjoy their canned haggis often. Cheers fae SW Scotland. I may try your vertical burning method though as currently my wee stove eats through hedge branches, etc like nothing on earth (whilst giving off a 1ft+ flame)

[@robtherover]

@@veeeks2938 their canned haggis is the biz.

[@richjoebushcraft]

We've never tried haggis, but your video made me look up canned online 😂 Joe and I might have to give it a try. Pricey though for a can in the US, but could be a taste experience to try once.

[@robtherover]

It is an acquired taste. I’m not sure but is haggis banned in the US because it contains lung. I love the stuff.

[@richjoebushcraft]

@@robtherover I found it in cans from Amazon, so maybe just importing in cans is how they can do it. If I do take the plunge and get it, I'd probably try with mashed potatoes or in little pastries to make it like little pies.

[@robtherover]

@@richjoebushcraft go for it. I look forward to the video.

[@christopherderges3457]

Hi Rob, I'll watch it and comment tomorrow.

[@robtherover]

Thanks mate. Hope you like it.

[@christopherderges3457]

I saw a local band last night, can't remember what they were called. Cracking video, I do like those stoves, never tried Haggis I'll give it a go. Soon be 1k

[@aabbushcraft]

Great stove mate, looks like it burns fantastic. I love haggis and black pudding. Another amazing video Mate 👍

[@robtherover]

Thanks Andy. Keep the wood small and the stove works well.

[@davidfortune3315]

Really enjoyed the video, great feat in difficult, very difficult conditions. Unfortunately I am a misophonia sufferer so I had to skip the slurping bits - hopefully didn’t miss anything important. Keep up your exploits. God Bless, David

[@davidfortune3315]

Oh a quick question: I see it has an ashtray too. How hot does it get beneath the ashtray or if you are not using one does it burn anything beneath it? Sorry, if this is a dumb question!

[@robtherover]

Don’t think it gets too hot. I always let it cool down before moving it and packing away. And it cools down quite quickly one the fires out.

[@garryruggiero3559]

Great vidio ,I going to try some that hagus Garry ,Raleigh N.C. U S.A.

[@robtherover]

Thanks Garry glad you liked it. Give it a go mate. It’s one of those things you either love it or you hate it.

[@anonymous4201]

How do you manage to cook on this stove without burning the food because it’s difficult to control the heat level / burn intensity

[@robtherover]

I sometimes hold the pan above the flames or let it die down a bit and cook then. Just add a few bits of wood at a time.

[@robg521]

Hi Rob, have you every thought about using wood pellets in your Woodgas stove, If I fill mine up to the brim and light it like a candle from the top it burns hot flames for about 45 minutes and the woodcoal ashes keep gong for about another half hour or so. [you can experiment to work out what amount of pellets burn for what amount of time so you can plan for your cooking]

[@robtherover]

I did try cat litter in it one and it just seemed to smoulder rather than give any flame.

[@robg521]

@@robtherover The cat litter absorbs moisture from the air if you leave it out, so could have been a bit damp 🤔 I keep some in the boot of the car in a water proof bag, if you are out and there is no decent dry wood about it’s a nice back up.

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

Tinned Haggis? I’ve never had Haggis and would like to try it. How does the tinned compare with regular?

[@robtherover]

I have had ‘real’ haggis from Scotland many times and this tinned haggis is just as good in my humble opinion.

[@margaretadler6162]

Spot on vid my friend 👍

[@robtherover]

Thanks Shane.

[@Radoslaw731]

I have the upgraded version of TOMSHOO wood gas stove- TOMSHOO B-PLUS. It's taller like lixada one and has modified burning chamber with additional holes on the walls of the chamber for more efficient burn. And ash plate aswel. Also i wonder because the additional holes in the burn chamber will make the flame more pulsing. I know that from KZbinr who made his own wood gas stove

[@robtherover]

So if it’s taller can the wood be bigger? I should use mine more often.

[@Radoslaw731]

​@@robtherover yes, you can use longer sticks because the burn chamber is bigger 😊

[@Radoslaw731]

But the con is this . The burn chamber has holes on the sides so the wood gas Wood be burned a lot faster upwards. That's not a good thing because the burn time is compromised. I would stick to the original TOMSHOO Wood gas stove

[@OldNavajoTricks]

Eck-in-aysh-eyah is that tea dude👍 I have the similar Ohuhu stove, sometime it's just used as a windshield for the gas stove. Haggis is good, but have you tried softies/rowies? Bacon and philadelphia and black pepper on them is proper food 😀

[@robtherover]

Sounds lovely that does. I’ve used the gasifier as a windshield with a trangia burner a couple of times.

[@marksadventures3889]

Eck-in-Asia, is how you say it, a bit of a mouthful. Very good for you apparently- your digestive system will thank you. Those gasifiers are good if you get it right. I prefer my evil eye stove. I use the trangia knock off most. Tinned Haggis! Probably okay but my ancestors would probably haunt me forever. 😂

[@robtherover]

Ahh so that’s how you say it. I’m enjoying the herbal teas. My great grandad was Scottish. He’d probably have something to say about tinned haggis. It is nice though.

[@user-yx2ff3mv2q]

12:05 looks like dog food. Lamb can smell like dog food too. Great little stove though, I'm sure I could knock up a bacon sandwich or a burger on that stove.

[@robtherover]

@@user-yx2ff3mv2q yeah it’s an acquired taste for sure. I’ve cooked up a few things on that stove. Also with a spirit burner and fire dragon gel.

[@justa.american8303]

Tinned Haggis? What will they think of next? When I was in Scotland, I tried Haggis. It's not too bad. But what I truly enjoyed was Black Pudding. I'll have to look for that in a tin also.

[@robtherover]

I love haggis. People tend to turn their nose up at it when they find out what it actually is. Lovely with mashed potato. Black pudding is great too. If you find it in a tin let me know. I’d love to try that. Thanks for watching the vid. All the best.

[@johnellacott6446]

Tis a mortal sin , To eat haggis from a tin

[@robtherover]

Ha ha yeah I know it’s controversial. I have got a proper haggis in the freezer. Might save that for a camp.

[@Radoslaw731]

It's sad that these stoves rust

[@robtherover]

The heat does tend to warp them too.

This is not a gasification process but direct combustion

[@robtherover]

It looked like it was gasifying to me.

[@tolgaturgut6530]

For a gasification process the biomass must be heated (without burning) over 700 Celsius and then gasification starts. Bio materials turn into liquid syngas and those gases can be stored or transported somewhere need to combust for green renewable energy.

[@robtherover]
