Trying my new Ohuhu gasifier stove

Hello everyone and welcome!
Today I go out to the woods to try my new Ohuhu Gasifier stove. I snowshoe out to a new spot, dig out an area in the deep snow and show off the stove. I display all the different parts and how they work together, then I light it and cook some breakfast sausage, eggs and toast.
Join me on this adventure and see how it turns out.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing your breakfast it looked awesome.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

It was delicious! Thanks for watching!

[@curtwinterstein1067]

I really liked your pill bottle egg shaker! I gotta remember that one!! (Thank you.)😀

[@Anndyinthewoods]

It works really well and takes up a lot less room in the pack. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 🤝

[@walkerone9833]

Many people don't like the rotating pot supports....think they will break. Have had my stove for over 10 yrs now w/no problems. If you drop even one charcoal briquette in the fire pot you always have hot coals to restart the flames. Best $20. usd stove you can buy.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks! Nice to know it has lasted that long for you. Hope mine lasts as well.🤝

[@pedroclaro7822]

Best 20$ stove is the Huanbush stove from Japan, but yeah the ohuhu is nice. The lixada tower stove is good too, even in stainless steel. Less stable though - might need tent pegs in the bottom to help stabilize it

[@cecildoss3157]

I enjoyed your video with someone actually cooking. It appears that your burn time after gasification to adding more wood was 6 to seven minutes. I watched another video that used 2 cups of wood pellets & got almost 30 minutes of burn time. I found a no name stainless steel pot that the Ohuhu fits into. Making a very simple compact cookset. I have the GI canteen, cup, and stove that I also carry to heat water for coffee, etc and simple canned soups & stews.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it. I have tried with wood pellets and I agree it burns way better. I bring pellets now if I use it for cooking and use sticks if I am just making a coffee or tea.🤝

[@mr_obscure_universe]

That reload of wood wasn't "smoking" as much as it was drying out - releasing steam. Once it ignites, the steam would stop.

[@keith9875]

It’s a great stove at a great price. Durable as all get out and as you said, wood everywhere for fuel. Just turn the pot supports in to support smaller based pots. I was surprised that you missed that. Cut your fuel wood 3” long and stack the pieces vertically in the burn chamber. I get at least 35 minutes of burn time never having to add any more wood. Thanks for the video.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks for the tips. Glad you enjoyed the video.🤝

[@davidlaw233]

Love the wood gas stoves I have servel types of them

[@Anndyinthewoods]

I love them too. Thanks for watching!🤝

[@ronkierstead]

That’s a nice little stove.The liquid omelette is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks! It makes it alot easyier to pack and tastes delicious! Thanks for watching!

[@davebloggs]

I have been using these stoves for a few years now its always in my pack i like to run them on wood pellets. nice video and nice to see someone using this stove correctly.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thank you! I have different stoves that I like to use. They all have their uses depending on the trip and what I need them for.

[@davebloggs]

@CaptainBlack.1 if im running mine on sticks i often have them higher than the holes to start them. and by the time it gets going the top holes are uncovered. and with pellets which works the best i have found just below them to fill then a few small twigs on top to get some heat going.

[@tom_olofsson]

Thanks for the demonstration.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mr101racecar]

I been thinking of getting one for my bug out kit. Glad I watched this video.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!🤝

[@barrygraber9776]

After watching this video I found it necessary to buy one and I have to say I absolutely love it. Did some experiments with different kinds of fuel and find that wood pellets work best for me.Fill it up then drop in one of your fire starters let it burn a few minutes then I’m good to go. I get about 40 minutes of burn time. Also I think the pellets burn cleaner then twigs

[@Anndyinthewoods]

I agree! Pellets burn cleaner than twigs. I think it's because they are compressed hardwood and extremely dry. Also, because they are small, they all stay below the top vent holes where the secondary burn happens. Thanks for Watching! 🤝

[@pedroclaro7822]

You can get 30 min with well packed wood. Smokeless too if it’s properly dried

[@jetpilot555]

Awesome stove! The snow wall is spectacular!

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidlaw233]

Good tucker sausage n eggs with fried spuds

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks!

[@mariuspm]

I got the same skillet three days ago from CT

[@Anndyinthewoods]

It works great!

[@MysTicZ7]

Learnt a lot, nice style! Thanks for the info

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KissmyBasss]

I've tried my canway a couple of times it works well. It's the taller one to feed fuel and has the handles, pretty nice. That's exactly how I like my eggs and if some cheese jumps in I'm not mad.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Gotta love that cheese. Glad to hear your canway works well. I have a bit of a stove addiction. I like to rotate using different ones and love cooking over a campfire. Thanks for watching!🤝

[@KissmyBasss]

Have you tried adding a dampener on any? Seems necessary for eggs or pancakes.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

@willywoodard1885 no I haven't. When I am doing eggs or pancakes I just wait for the stove to burn down a little more before cooking.

[@KissmyBasss]

That's about what I've seen and it starts so easy if you have more to cook. Thanks for the insight and sharing your experience.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

@willywoodard1885 you're welcome! We all learn from each other. 🤝

[@johnpitre1295]

Great demo...I want 2. Tks !

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks!

[@Ira88881]

The WalMart 7” Ozark Trails is only 40 bucks! Pellets the only way to go, top burn ONLY. Doesn’t work at all starting fire at the bottom. And this model DOES have a slot to feed wood. I bought the lightest, smallest, least expensive stake-in-ground adjustable and swing away grate that Amazon has, and it is PERFECT for these kinds of stoves. These fires burn HOT and HIGH, and cooking with a grate or pan directly on those flames is a recipe for disaster. My grate is about twice the width of the stove, so not only can you adjust the height, you can position the grate so half is a cooler, warming zone. FINALLY, the big plus, for burning wood: Wrap the grate with foil, or put a thick square pan on it…adjust the grate about 6 or so inches (or more) above the stove…and you have an incredible heat deflector which turns these units into efficient, warm bonfires.

[@dozukime]

After cooking, scoop up some snow in the pan returned to wonder stove & will self clean!

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks!

[@Ira88881]

I was going crazy waiting for him to throw some snow in there!!!

[@Gilagain54]

Don't you just hate when you get misdirected and end up in the camping section of the store... :O)

[@Anndyinthewoods]

That darn Camping section...always seems to snag my money...🤣🤣

[@raymonddennis3252]

Thank you for the video I bought that stove off amazon arrived today and lodge skillet you are such a great guy Ray from England take care buddy

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

[@gadgetg003]

I have 2 6" cast iron pans that I use all the time on my gas stove in my home. They are perfect for 2 scrambled eggs. I have not tried using them on my Ohuhu gasifier stove yet. Thanks for the video.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks for watching! Cast iron excels over a wood flame. I love using my pans.

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

The Ohuhu works as well as stoves costing three times as much. Thanks for your video and all the best.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

It really does work well and can't beat that price. Thanks for watching!

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

@@Anndyinthewoods I like using wood found , but I tried wood stove pellets and was amazed . Have a great week Anndy.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

I like using found wood too. I heard the pellets worked well so I tried them and now I bring a bit if i know the found wood will be very wet, just to make life a little easier.

[@garryruggiero3559]

I own a firebox stove, but I love my gasifier stove I use the wood pellet most of the time it will give you a 20-minute burn time Here in North Carolina, you have to be aware of copperhead snakes in the Summer time Thank for all you do , Garry Raliegh nc

[@Anndyinthewoods]

I alternate between wood and pellets. If I bring the gasifier I usually have a bag of pellets on hand in case everything else is wet.

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsPals]

Thank you for demonstrating. Ordering this stove. Perfect for any season for cooking. I use alcohol for most stuff but I need a small wood gasifier for larger pots to boil pasta. They're more substantial than ramen. Wood will go literally & easier to keep going. I likebthe way you improvise and use ingenuity. Subscribed!

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@n.c.108]

Did you that that you could adjust the metal support legs by moving them inwards? This will allow you to use a smaller pot 👍

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Yes I know but thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!🤝

[@Saltfly]

Make a little scorch plate for the top to cook on. Really helps not getting the pan too hot. Cool inexpensive stove though. Little thing really gets rollin good.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Once this little stove gets going it burns great. Great idea with the scorch plate, I'll have to keep my eyes open to find something I can use.

[@peetsnort]

Yes I have one. That or the cast iron that's a good heat sink

[@pedroclaro7822]

Scorch plate is a great idea! These things burn way too hot lol I’ve been using a steel mesh. Not as good but way lighter.

[@jamshedjan8226]

Great vedio

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thank you!🤝

[@peetsnort]

I only do the eggs on the embers. It's gentler

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Great tip! Thanks for watching!🤝

[@barrygraber9776]

Greetings Anndy. As a subscriber to your channel I look forward to all your new episodes and I have to say you never fail. All your videos are 5 star and above but must add this particular video has got to be your best in my opinion I keep going back to it and it’s still on top. Please keep them going. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Ann and Lady Lucy

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks Barry! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family!

[@ryanW-dc7ti]

Got a similar stove (think the main body is the exact same and the only difference is the stove top) and i love it! got it because of this video, and using cotton balls with wax like in your other videos makes it so easy to start a fire

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks! I am glad they are both working well for you. 🤝

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsPals]

You photobombed by a squirrel at around 4:46 in the background on your right, our left over your head. It scurrying across the screen on the snow.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Haha! I had not seen that! Thanks for watching!

[@AquaTech225]

Would be cool if someone made a trangia insert that was a gasifier

[@pedroclaro7822]

Trangia is aluminum. Would melt after a strong burn without a shadow of a doubt. Maybe it could resist that with an inner steel burn chamber. But even if the pot stand/windshield didn’t melt, you would risk melting the pan and plastic on the kettle, rendering them useless. There’s a cheap version of it called the Robens cookery King with a removable Trangia stand, so you could possibly try a fire in that one without having to cut the alcohol stove stand, but anodized aluminum will still melt at 600C. What I have is one of these Chinese gasifiers and a widesea 1.3L billy pot. Stove goes inside perfectly. I had a tatonka billy pot too, but I gave it away. Old setup was around 1kg. New pot weighs 160g. I’m gonna stop using the gasifier though because I got a Picogrill 85 now.

[@huddsman69]

Barry Gibb has some talent left!! lol, nice vid

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Thanks! 🤝

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Just bought 1 tyvm

[@Anndyinthewoods]

I hope it brings you years of great use. Thanks for watching!

[@junkmail4613]

4:00 it sounds like you're winded! what is your altitude where you are?

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Only about 800 feet. The mic is too close and dealing with all that snow is hard.

[@jetpilot555]

What did you use as fire starter

[@Anndyinthewoods]

That is a diy firestarter I made with a cotton pad, vaseline and candle wax. Here is a link to a video where I make them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnfaZWx_nK6ShaM

BOOOOOORING!
