Worth $20? - Canway Wood Burning Stove - Review

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

I've got some day hike adventures coming up soon in addition to the next overnight adventure; who is ready? Strength and Honor - Luke

[@briankohler341]

Day hikes are more in line with my the abilities of my wife and I. We're a little too old for backpacking trips, but we really enjoy the day hikes, particularly in central Ohio. Looking forward to your updates.

[@pedroclaro7822]

Would love to see if this can be well paired with the soto navigator. Seems like a perfect fit!

[@tonypattison7971]

If you load the stove with finger thick sticks,and pack them tightly ,vertically,leave a tube shape down the centre and fill with your tinder then light the stove with your tinder from the top,It works more efficiently and you don,t have to keep refuelling all the time

[@tomb7901]

Thank you! That's great advice!

[@carlosguzmandiaz1515]

what a good advise

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

I have been using a very similar stove for several years, and I would like to say that the weight is compensated for by the fact that you do not need to carry fuel in with you. it drives me nuts when people talk about how their "stove" weighs less than 3 ounces. but they fail to consider the weight of fuel bottles, and having to pack out empty bottles as well.

[@cowboy6591]

Stocking alcohol and or butane/propane bottles suck.

[@scottbutler1561]

I used this for the first time this weekend, based on your review. This stove absolutely rocks. As a suggestion, I see a lot of videos with people struggling to start these types of stoves. I grill quite a bit and noticed that this stove looks kind of like a charcoal chimney. I packed the upper compartment with vertical finger sized sticks, then placed some bark on top of a crumpled small piece of paper on the ground. I lit the paper with one match then placed the stove on top of it. After a couple minutes of welcome, mosquito repelling smoke, a roaring gasified fire erupted.

[@robertmills538]

awesome thinking 🤔

[@Radoslaw731]

For this stove it's great to have a garden branch cutters and you can cut sticks to proper length

[@super66craig]

It accepts wood pellets quite well! It forms a chunk of hot coals in the bottom and will stay working for 40 minutes when filled half way. Pellets are very light to pack and worth the intense heat pellets create!

[@kokopelauwebb5731]

For those that are worried about the hot coals falling through I carry a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil works great.

[@davebrown3117]

Or a couple of stacked disposable pie foil trays would also work.

[@stevesmith9403]

I used a coffee can bottom, but to the inner diameter. Packs great.

[@pedroclaro7822]

They now sell these with little alcohol tray that double as an ash tray. I myself carry a titanium sheet as a makeshift windscreen (Control intensity of the flame) which doubles as an ashtray when needed

[@btrswt35]

Ever since I found out about these gasifier stoves I've been fascinated with them. Actually, I find all of the small, stainless steel, wood burning camp stoves interesting. But there's free fuel almost everywhere and it's fun having a small fire.

[@mikevandebunt811]

"Every scenario is different." It's refreshing to see a review that's honest about this, rather than obsessing over timing the boil to the nearest second! (I have one of these, and it will burn nicely with wood pellets.)

[@dankjay6902]

Thanks for reviewing this Luke. I sent it in and hope you could gift it to someone if it wasn't going to be used much. Your son was my first thought. Best to you and your family, you are great people!

[@betodebem]

I've had one of these for many years, it's really great in terms of efficiency and the best way to use it in my experience is to use woods of the arm thickness, cut a little below the height of the combustion chamber and break in four. This way the flame lasts longer without having to fuel all the time. Awesome job Luke!

[@monstergnocchi]

I bought it 4 years ago and I'm still very happy with it.

[@smithmichaels]

I have this stove and love it. Glad to see you show it. Some other brands sell the same stove for $99! I can feed it anything, wood chips or pellets, set in an alcohol burner or Sterno can, still works great.

[@tomh7331]

I have this same exact stove. I love the pot stand because it will safely hold all sizes of pots and cups. Thanks Luke for all your informative reviews.

[@wildlifebushcraft6819]

I have a similar stove from Amazon and use it quite frequently. Where were these stoves back in my Boy Scout days, it would have beat packing cans of Sterno. Great review !!!

[@davebrown3117]

Sterno works well in Bain Marie food warmers but is not very good for high heat cooking. I have had sterno not able to boil 500ml of water in a few cases because of weather. But in preference to sterno, I use my trangia alcohol burners mainly because it is economical with fuel compared to gas canisters. I also have a small Lixada fold-up twig stove that also has an alcohol burner holder plate so that can serve as a burner holder for my Trangia burner and as a twig stove, that is handy for when I leave my place and want to camp/fish and cook, and when I get there it is raining. I take the Trangia burner along with the Trangia 500ml methylated spirits/denatured ethyl alcohol with the Lixada and can cook either using the meths to get the twigs fired up or the alcohol burner to do the cooking.

[@stewartrv]

You can of course feed it with a million twigs and small sticks - good for doing a cup of coffee, OR alternatively for cooking a meal or longer stuff you can: 1) Find a bigger branch approx 1/2 smaller diameter then inside diameter of the stove is good. 2) saw it so that its height is lower than the gasification ports 3) split it into smaller pieces (1/2 inch approx) 4) Place inside vertically 5) light from top with small kindling or fire lighter It will take a bit longer to start, but will burn clean without feeding for ages and then when it looks all gone still stay hot for another 20 mins. Please give it a go and let us know how you get on! Also if you turn the ash tray upside down and put it back inside you can use it as a platform for a fuel tablet or a alcohol stove which makes it very versatile.

[@peterm.eggers520]

I prefer about 2" branch x 2" chunks which take one easy chop with a sharp axe and keeps my axe handling sharp. New versions come with an alcohol / fuel tablet cup for doing just that!

[@stewartrv]

@@peterm.eggers520 Sure that's an alternative way. Same result keep the stack of bigger wood vertical and have a little bit of space fir air and light from top! :) For me a Silky saw is lighter than an axe (so don't usually have one with me) and my accuracy probably wouldn't be up to cutting the small 2" branches into appropriate lengths either, hence for me a saw is better - but each to there own!

[@CountryMash]

I bought one of these amazon versions and loved everything about it except for one thing, the open bottom. Ash falling through isn’t a problem but burning embers that fall down there can be. I was wanting to bring the amazon version over my Solo Stove Titan on a backpacking trip due to packability and weight. But during my test run in my backyard, I had embers blow out of the bottom of the amazon one. I wasn’t willing to risk burning down a forest. So I brought the safer enclosed Solo Stove. It’s just something to be aware of.

[@peterm.eggers520]

Bare dirt works well, like you would do for a campfire. Putting an aluminum pie pan underneath it works even better because it will reflect heat upwards and the pie pan has a number of other uses too.

[@jefferysullivan8923]

Will they? Yes. Should they? No. LOL Love it! Great review. Thanks!

[@peterm.eggers520]

When you add in the weight of fuel, this stove is actually very light! And has been mentioned, use chunks of wood 2" around. Much more fuel prep for this little stove, but a someone with an axe and knows how to use it can create a nights worth of fuel in minutes out of a 2 to 4 inch downed hardwood limb.

[@Brykk]

The lixada stove i had, that i believe was just like this one, you could flip the basket inside over and set a trangia burner in there as a heat source. Or, you can remove the basket inside altogether and just use the stove as a pot stand by setting it into a camp fire, and have the fire come up through the center.

[@djinkentertainment]

Yeah i have the same thing and i also have a model by the same company that has 3 bars that lock on top and has 2 sides and 1 front pc. Easier to feed but I like the stack one by them a little better.

[@boblem5994]

Ok. I like the idea of putting in a trangia burner. Best of both worlds without the messy soot.

[@monicajones8450]

I found that if you load it with bigger pieces or wood pellets and light it from the top, you can pretty much cook your meal without reloading it all the time. Good review. Thanks for sharing

[@otterchen]

In my gear i carry the lid of a tin can ( beans or other cowboyfood) with me to place under the stove to catch the ash...it is usefull to to prepare the tinder, light it and then throw it in the fire chamber to light the wood. ( Multi purpose use of a piece of trash )

[@MichaelMcGrathAICP]

I have one of these. When needed (cutting wood prohibited, no concerns for weight, cooking parameters) this stove works great with commercial wood pellets (as used in some big stoves). These add weight but start quick, burn hot and long. During a recent test at 47 deg. F with slight breeze, one load of pellets burned hot for a full thirty minutes with zero attention, then simmered for another 20 minutes. This is great for doing a multi-course meal with hot drinks. Worthwhile when camping in an organized park or setting where wood is limited or prohibited. BTW, I use an aluminum plate under to catch embers. Love this stove!

[@evcman4383]

Good review...halfway thru I paused the video, went to Amazon, still 20 bucks in 2024, ordered it, then finished the video! Will have it tomorrow...

[@chillywilly3397]

Great review...excellent Q&A portion..."Will your hands get dirty? Yes. Should you complain about it? NO." Love it.

[@oldveteran8931]

I have the tomshoo wood stove . I my stove was $ 20 too and it came with a grill for the top also. Great video keep them coming.

[@wOhst]

Thanks! I like this one. They even updated the wind protection and you can use it with dry alcohol as well. Nice product!

[@noobsaibot555]

Just used mine for the first time this past weekend after buying it 2 weeks ago... got the bigger one, works well but you have to feed it often.. like once every 2 minutes. But it works and it's a good product. I'd buy it again. Especially for this cheap price.

[@desertfun4all650]

I absolutely love my Canway stove. It works great and very good quality. I bought mine on Wish for $8 and it came with a grill grate. Love your videos. Keep up the great work and be safe.

[@alcopower5710]

Desertfun4all ......what is wish?

[@desertfun4all650]

@@alcopower5710 its an online store they have some good stuff and very cheap made stuff so you have to watch what you buy.

[@davidvance3778]

I bought one just like this; not the "Canway" but very similar. I love the stove. Mine is a little smaller (9.7 oz.) and fits great in my pack. It's quick and very easy efficient. Yes, it gets "sooty" but with a little rubbing with some wet sand and it cleans up pretty well. Great review on these stoves!

[@WoodyAndy]

Great review! I've had a similar stove for a while now and although they weigh a fair bit, because the fuel source is all around, you aren't carrying fuel with you and shouldn't run out! They can smoke a bit but once you get the hang of how they burn, you can get a rolling boil pretty quick. Also they burn really efficiently because of the design so use less wood. All the best from the U.K.

[@viewsandreviews180]

I liked your review of this stove. I've got one (okay two but who's counting) and what you reported is what I've experienced. At first I was surprised my nice shiny pot got black stuff on the outside and couldn't wait to get home to clean it all off but as I used this stove more I've learned the black coating seems to improve the heat transfer so I've stopped worrying about it and think the color more as a sign of use and love. As far the weight, it's heavier than either an alcohol stove or a gas stove but unlimited supplies of fuel make up for that to some degree.

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Just used this stove to make my morning tea and breakfast. It’s a hungry hungry little guy but I had it running for well over an hour just feeding it twigs from my yard, it went out a few times from my neglect to fuel it, becoming an angry smoking mess for a while till I coaxed it back to life. Definitely going in my hurricane bag and I’ll probably take it camping too. I have very little to complain about this thing in my very short try out for it. I’m sure the weight is an issue for some people but I fully believe that getting stronger is easier than making your load lighter. It gets ripping hot and stays hot for quite a while, so it is a no go for quick breaks to boil a pot of water to make tea, coffee or noodles. Expect to stay put for at least two hours if you break this out. I would recommend gloves if you are working with it, but that’s more for comfort and cleanliness than any safety concern. My hands are delicate and sensitive, and I found myself getting flame licked occasionally while feeding it, and yeah, you will get soot everywhere. That’s the price you pay for fuel that literally grows on trees.

[@ChemistyStudent]

I bought one of these for my bug out bag. Glad to see they're getting recognized! One thing I've been wondering and might try out is putting some larger lumber pieces in the bottom section of the stove underneath the ash tray. If the heat output gets high enough, the bottom chamber material might start contributing methane and ethane. Great.. guess I know what I'm doing tonight!

[@TillieMuckMuck]

I prefer the #1 version because you can place your pot closer to the heat source . There really is no reason to add fuel from start time to finish, about 45 minutes, if you stack your wood properly. I cut my rounds 3” long and process them by batoning, about 1/2” to 1” square. Stack them vertically in the burn chamber filling the gaps with smaller pieces. Do a top down burn beginning with smaller diameter twigs and shavings. Very cool stove, I have bought several and given them as gifts to friends once they have seen one burn and they are impressed.

[@susanr3560]

Thank you for the review. I bought it just because of the price. Now I can't wait to use it.

[@chrishill8608]

Thanks for the review Luke. Your channel grows on me more and more man. Love the adventures (Lone Wolf Style) and gear reviews. Keep up the great work bud. Always looking forward to what’s next.

[@jdcpac]

Great looking little stove Luke. My grandson is getting into camping and happens to have a birthday coming up, I believe this would make a great birthday present for him. Thanks.

[@jonathancallahan2516]

My canway has a little different top plate with the same legs . It worked really well to concentrate the heat on the pot . The other "stove" we had was a rectangular affair kind of like a tabletop BBQ grill . The canway beat it hands down for speed to boil and for limited smoke once the firewood is burning properly . I did cut dead wood to length of combustion chamber and then split it to fit in stove . Smoked a little longer while the wood was coming to temp. but had cooking temp longer . Great stove for a wood burner . Great review . Thanks

[@PAKoffee10]

I had to drop a comment on this. I loved the yes/no panel near the end of the video. You know your stuff and do a great job testing and proofing this gear, but I do love the humor you inject here and there. Thanks.

[@jackvoss175]

My version of this is an “Ohuhu”. I bought their folding wind screen with it. Nice. I can easily tuck in my Solo alcohol stove (Trangia copy) inside this rig. It still fits inside the bag - AND that packs inside an MSR Stowaway 1.1 liter pot, with the top buckled.

[@vancouverislandbushcraft4879]

I have one of these stoves and have no complaints with it at all..works great and is fun to use...take care

[@zettle2345]

Just like you said, "for 20 bucks, it's perfect". If you want a portable wood burning stove. Gotta love people who complain about getting dirty, being in the outdoors...

[@robertgarza600]

Great review brother. Been wanting to get a gasification stove for a while now. I like that you went with a budget friendly stove versus a higher dollar stove. Thanks again. Stay safe.

[@sublyme2157]

Reminds me of the Ohuhu stove my beautiful wife bought me for Christmas. I found the easiest way to light it is to dip it in gasoline and throw it into a volcano.

[@assistantscoutmastercole9903]

I have an ohuhu twig stove and I love it, I take it with me Boy Scouts camping all the time and use it to make tea or coffee. The ohuhu is the same idea, smaller without the feeding window, but still a great stove.

[@ralfvk.4571]

Great Review - thank you. Just ordered one that is 1:1 - but just without the branding. In my opinion, that's the best kind of emergency fire source, anyone can take with. Of course, there are disadvantages compared with Gas or Ethanol stoves, (if you can still use them, your emergency isn't really so big) but therefore: you can set up a very efficient and safe fire, easily, everywhere you are, without the need to worry about fuel. So this one is a must have for the real prepper and affordable for anybody. And it will use the heat of a wooden fire much more efficient, than any other fire you can make. So it's also a great thing to safe that resources.

[@tommykellett2628]

I've had this stove for about a year. It's great! Just have plenty of wood nearby because it takes alot to keep it going.

[@peterm.eggers520]

Twigs burn up very fast, but a 2 to 3 inch chunk burns for quite awhile.

[@tommykellett2628]

I typically find something about 1.5" diameter and cut it to pieces at 4" long. I then take and quarter split them. Works great but you'll use alot of them.

[@marieindia8116]

I set a chunk about 3 inches in diameter and 4 in long (about as much space as I had in the stove) in a hot stove that was burning down and that piece totally caught and burned for at least ten minutes. It was great!

[@nmr6988]

@TheOutdoorGearReviewVery fun review! I have one and i love mine. I have used it many times during power blackouts to make coffee, fix breakfast, make biscuits. The weight is what i like about it. No worries that it will tip over. Using bigger pieces of wood solves the problem of continual feeding.

[@peterm.eggers520]

You use it indoors?

[@nmr6988]

@@peterm.eggers520 , of course not! You can't burn wood indoors unless it's in a fireplace. I don't want to die from carbon monoxide! HOWEVER, I could put a can of Sterno in the base and use it indoors. Sterno is gel alcohol and safe for indoor use.

[@davebrown3117]

Nice review. I'm an old dude that used to be a boy scout and I like to have stuff that can do more than 1 thing. I have a Champ Swiss Army knife with pliers in it as well as a bunch of other useful stuff; a Coleman machete with a wood saw on the back of the blade; a tomahawk with a hammer-head on the back of the axe head; and a bunch of other useful stuff. Luke, I am interested to know if you can turn the fire box up-side-down in the Canway Camping Stove and place a Trangia type alcohol burner on top of it and cook/boil water, etc. If the clearance from the burner to the bottom of the pot, etc. is about 1.25" or 32mm it should work OK, I remember that Hiram Cook had worked out the best height on 1 of his videos years ago but I could not find it. Oh yeah, DO NOT USE yellow Heet in an alcohol burner because the methanol is toxic when burnt. Also, it will eat out the brass that the burners are made of. I am also curious that if you can use small sized pieces of charcoal in the Canway Camping Stove and whether or not it would gasify in that stove.

[@Tiggs004]

Fantastic review - I've used one of these for years (made by wild woodgas stoves), I love it, it's so flexible, first thing in the morning i use it as a wind shield with a trangia for a hot drink then light it with wood for breakfast, I'm not worried about the weight or i would not carry a trangia as well

[@walkerone9833]

Hi Luke: Last year I bought the Canway you showed in the first picture. I love it. Have used wood pellets in it but at some point you have to stir the pellets or you don't get a complete burn....ie. the bottom half of the pellets won't burn and it will just smoke out. That being said I can get 20 min. of burn time w/o stirring the pellets. Up to an hour stiring w/two cups of pellets at the start. Excellent as a stick stove, too. But fill the chamber with vertically mounted one to two inch width wood stacked on end and you can have a Swiss torch fire that will burn for close to an hour w/no attention. Also, this model is taller than the one you pictured first. I chose the other because it had a lower center of gravity. At 7:10 you said you have to feed the beast.....you don't unless you feed it finger thick sticks as you showed. Use larger pieces of wood and Swiss Torch it. Feed the beast will be a thing of the past. Did you never make a Swiss torch fire? Watch the Firebox company vids to see them in action. This method can be done in any wood stick stove and works. You are a slave to the stove the way you fed it. Looking fwd to your next vid.

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

I have one similar and it does work great. Thanks for the review Luke.

[@frankpike7369]

I have a couple of these. When I go out camping, I cheat and pack a few charcoal briquets. I drop one or two briquets in and that carry's the heat out for a longer burn time. This is important, if you are cooking something that might take more time, like a stew or possible baking.

[@sorinoutdoors5418]

Good review. I have the Tomshoo version, paid $18 on it 2 years ago, fully satisfied,also mine came with a round grill as well, these are a good alternative to the more expensive Solo Stove, which is also bulkier to carry.

[@tomb7901]

I love twig stoves. Fun to cook on. Feels like you're stoking an old locomotive engine and cooking at the same time. Very hands on. 20 bucks? Man, I wish I saw this video. I use mine in place of my BBQ grill out in the yard sometimes. Just more fun.

[@afyounai]

this is the best review ive seen on youtube for this stove yet. i have the same stove, i use it on my bicycle trips its fantastic

[@russchristian5755]

I have one of the earlier Canway models. It was the best $20 I ever spent. Seriously. One thing that I think should be mentioned is that in mine, and from the looks of it, the stove featured here as well, you can invert the fuel cage and use it as a platform for solid fuels or even a soda can alcohol burner. Both work quite well and when burn restrictions are in effect that can come in very handy.

[@Mantreaus]

I take one along with me on day hikes, even around the city. I carry 2lbs of wood pellets in a cotton bag, and use them for fuel. (Added a self cut screen to bottom to hold pellets in.) If you fill it to just below gasification holes it will burn well for about 40 minutes with out having to keep adding fuel. I can have a hot cup of coffee or two and a hot meal for lunch, Plus if a cooler day will keep me warm while taking the break.

[@Mantreaus]

Oh, I should add, taking along a couple pieces of aluminum foil to create a ash catch underneath. Easy to fold up and carry. Just don't place on wood tables and benches. Can leave a heat mark behind. No Trace even in the city.

[@caniaccharlie]

I saw this stove under the Rothco brand the other day for $30 semi locally, good to know it get's your seal of approval, I'll probably get one when I'm back by that store again, hopefully soon.

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

also fits perfectly inside an MSR seagull pot with latching lid.

[@Jonisco1]

Total agree all of what you saying. This is not lighter stove of the market but it works very well.

[@Divenity]

I bought this stove from a different company on sale on Amazon for a measly $9, it also has folding handles attached to the base so you can move it while it's still hot if you need to, and it also came with a little grill plate to cook things directly over the flame if you want. Hell of a deal for $9 lol.

[@50kArchipelagos]

I have this stove and I am very happy with it except of course that you have to feed it little tiny bits very very frequently and there's no door on the side of it, but it is what it is and it's VERY worth having at such a low price. 15 bucks or so.

[@50kArchipelagos]

@PennsyltuckyPatriot Ok, will try it. Thx.

[@lotabob]

I bought a cheap wood gas stove about 6 months ago. It's not light, it's not clean, it's not simple but boy is it fun. When you get that secondary burn round the top it's very efficient but fuel hungry, got to keep that wood flying in.

Great review. I ordered one. I saw a review on the Bushbuddy stove but at $100 for basically the same thing I couldn't justify it.

[@Radoslaw731]

I like the Tomshoo wood gas stove upgraded version. Its very good quality and it has better pot support.

[@earthstick]

I've got the Tomshoo one. The pan supports on the Tomshoo are a problem. They make it difficult to feed more wood in, and tend to fall into the fire. Then you have to retrive them, let them cool down before you try to put them back on while the fire is burning. The supports on this one solve all those problems.

[@michaelballard7323]

For $20??!? Can’t really go wrong! Even if you hate it and it’s not what you thought it would be, you’re only out $20! Hell you can recover $5 of that selling it at your next garage sale. This one is in my short list. Thanks for the review, Luke!

[@Ascent41]

I have one of these and enjoy using it. It also fits nicely in my MSR pot. Thanks for sharing All the best Si

[@talatsteelgleam8431]

I actually only use wood stoves, but mine is a square shape with a larger feeding hole, but more annoying to set up and it warped after a few uses. I bring alcohol, solid fuel, and an empty can with this set up to burn my liquid or solid fuel and ifbi happen to run out I burn twigs. The value of not being worried about running out of fuel is very valuable to me.

[@bangalorebobbel]

Good one. I have a similar one since years and love it for use on trips with the car or at home, but avoid it when I would have to carry it - it is simply to heavy. This type of stoves is, just btw, also a great tool for preparing some charcloth - just put a tight roll of cotton material on top of the coals under the secondary combustion flames line and wait, til it is black. Once it is black remove it very quick with a plier or two sticks or whatever else you want to use that it doesn't start to burn (maybe you have to step on it if that happens), and your charcloth is done. Simple, easy, clean, no extra tins or whatelse required ;-)

[@tonycummings5427]

I like these type stoves because you don't have to carry fuel with you if there is wood around you can cook !! And you can find wood anywhere. Thanks for the video.

[@5USgRWFH]

best fuel arrangement is 3 to 3 1/2 lengths of 3" diameter material, baton in half, and stacked vertically until the burn chamber is packed. Use a few twigs on top to start the fire and it will burn a long time without feeding.

i got mine off ebay about 5 or 6 years ago, its the first generation of these stoves with the triangle fold over pot stands on top, i use a computer power supply fan grill on top with no problems, and if some people are worried about dirty hands, then when you get home , wash it in hot water and soap with a stainless steel pot scrubber. , mine looks almost good as new, im not worried about my hands getting dirty im a mechanic so im use to it but i like to keep my equipment clean like my tools. and i also use wood pellets in mine as well and it works great, if im gonna be out camping longer than a couple of days i will use up the wood pellets then use sticks or just sticks, , and they come in handy for emergency use too

The Wild Woodgas stove Mk II T is the gold standard for these types of stoves. Yes, it functions exactly the same, but weighs around 10 oz. (280g). Wild Stoves site: wildstoves. co. uk /product/ wild-woodgas-mkiit/ Amazon link: amazon. com/ gp/ aw/ d/ B00PCOW52K/

Its great stove. Yes a bit heavy but well worth it.

HEY....IM NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING. I LOVE THAT LITTLE FIRE SPITTIN DRAGON. DO HAVE A QUESTION --DOES CANWAY MAKE A BIGGER, HEAVIER MODEL ? IM A CAMPER. NOT A MOUNTAIN CLIMBING BACKPACKER. I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE LITTLE CREATURE.

I own a 'lixada' branded stove that looks exactly like the one you demoed. Here's my experience/opinion: The stove works well, but due to it's size (ca 13cm diameter), it requires a more sizeable pot (e.g. 14cm Zebra billy can), or the pot and the stove won't nest. That makes the combo perfect, if you are cooking for 2 or more people. But if you are going solo, then I suggest look for something smaller/lighter. I use a solostove & 900ml solo pot. Perfect for my needs, but also a lot more expensive!

I bought off Amazon a Soleader stove almost like that. It had 4, not 3 but 4 pot supports, plus the nice bag it goes in while traveling. It was 19.99 on Amazon.

Don't think one pound would be that bad, my 5" firebox is more then a pound.

Just bought one. The instructions suck. Thanks for confirming I was assembling it correctly. Good video. Field testing tomorrow.
