Thanks for putting in the work! BTW, the Ohuhu stove fits perfectly inside an MSR 775ml stowaway (wide) pot, so it takes up no extra space in your pack. Also, it's a TLUD (top-lit updraft) stove. Pack it full of twigs like a can full of upright pencils and top it off with a little tinder and a Vaseline cotton ball. Light it, come back in 5 minutes to a roaring flame. Boil your water in ten minutes and you still have 10-15 minutes of simmering left. No fire maintenance or feeding needed once lit. It's still heavy but once you dial in a setup like the above, it's low hassle. Also, I've used a computer fan grill to hold small pots on it. The grill easily fits inside the stove.

BEST STOVE REVIEW I'VE SEEN!! I have watched so many review video's and this one is so direct, simple, on subject, clearly spoken, fast ( not a bunch of side tracked bs ) Good quality video/audio and close up examples of how each goes together works and breaks down. Excellent job. Plus, I Love the fact that you edited the parts that wastes my time, like lighting the fires, collecting wood etc. You sold me on the small Lixada stove, it's the one I've been looking at. A+

I’m an emberlit guy all the way! It’s not finicky. Light a fire, put pot on, cook, eat. Done. I have the stainless steel one for carcamping and the titanium for backpacking. I’ve tried quite a few of them and i like the emberlit. It’s also American made and the founder of the company is really cool! The customer service is top notch. Great comparison vid👍🏼

Great comparison video, I bought the Lixada from Amazon and found that it finally came with cross sections very similar to the Emberlit, which made it very stable for canteens/cups, and at only about 14 pounds. Thanks for sharing.

I love the whole re-branding of this channel, and the direction its heading 👍 Keep up the good work MOD

On the round wood gasifier stove you can flip the pot supports to the centre and it then it balances a much smaller pot really well. I also find that filling it and then lighting it from the top is more efficient. I have also just got a Titanium version of the Emberlit from AliExpress and looking forward to trying that out.

I always keep a piece of 1/4” grid hardware cloth with each of my stoves. Just set it on top of the stove and it will safely support smaller pots and cups. It's flat, so no worries about bulk. Nice video!

I carry a little piece of hardware cloth for backup. Stack small, flat stones, leaving a hole in the base to feed fuel. Works well, little to carry, fits all pots & pans. Thanks for your vid.

Thanks! I was apprehensive about getting a Lixada but it seems to perform well in your video. I'm getting the one with the crossmembers like the Emberlit or the Bushbox.

Really great comparison video on some great wood burning stoves ! Thanks !👍

I chose the Lixada folding stove you showed at 1:50 for its ability to fold flat and it has the cross bars to support even a small can or cup. The Ohuhu seems like it might be able to cook with the least amount of wood, but that is not usually a problem. Thanks for the review it looked really good.

I have the Lixada one and it's pretty awesome so far. Mine has a cross piece for the top so you can sit anything on the top. Great video

Carry 3-5 charcoal bricketts, in a seal-type freezer bag, and use them as fuel.

Nice review mate. 👍 I have a version of the woodgas Ohuhu made by Livada (£18) and also the much more expensive foldable Bushbox. I love both and find they work excellent in their own way. The woodgas stove stove can be loaded up and because you light it from the top and the wood burns downwards so it can last a good 1/2 hr or up to a full hr depending on the wood you burn before you need to refill. Also the flanges on the top can be flipped inwards to mount a small cup or pot to sit on top. A really great feature of the woodgas burning effect is that once it gets fully going there is NO smoke given off which is fantastic. It also fits inside the zebra 140mm camping pot. The bushbox is great for a quick fire that you add wood to when needed and for a longer duration fire I use the woodgas stove. They both work great with a Trangia too. Thanks again 😀

I picked up a bushbuddy. Haven’t gotten it yet but excited to check it out!

Thanks for sharing your experience, I have ohuhu and really love to make food on it😋👍

Thank you for a great review. Considering one of these for my next trip. Instant heat seems pretty good but can you do a long simmer on one of these? Thank you.

I have the Ohuhu and I keep it in a pot that was part of a mess kit I boaught at Walmart. The stove and pot nest together well and a pan fits over that like a lid and it all fits in the mesh bag the stove comes in. I agree that you need to lift your pot to feed the fire but I'm OK with it so far. Cool video!

Hope you guys had a great New Year! I'm just getting back into the swing of things here. Let's crush 2018. TO 100K AND BEYOND!

The three tabs on the one you said you would throw out actually work in the folded in position to hold your skinny little Stanley pot. I have both and they DO work together.

Nice job! I've made a couple of stoves myself, a fancy feast and blue collar stove called The Wal'e Stove on my channel. I just bought the Emberlit Ti Stove and tak ring in out this weekend...

Really enjoying your videos. Appreciate the effort!

Nice video, well edited, clear and informative. I just ordered a stove like the Ohuhu you show but made by Lixade

I have had the tiny lixada for 4 years...i love it!! Use it a lot!! Only thing is mine did not come with a pin..i used an old fashioned ladies hat pin...it works...but may be time for a semi retirement party. I like that the pin on yours has a large loop..easy to grab..i also have the big lixada..i really like it too..but some days I'm not very coordinated or patient....my problem..not the stoves.

Thanks for the great review video! I had been looking at the Ohuhu. I just ordered the Lixada. Thanks again!

Hi great video. How do you prevent or deal with sooth on the he pans etc ?

I love little pack stoves, out of those three I don't have the solid fuel one. I have two gasification stoves, one is a stainless steel one similar to this one and the other is a smaller boundless voyage titanium one, the larger SS one I've got close to an hour of useful heat on a single fill no adding fuel after lit and the smaller Ti one between 30-40 min. With the gasification if filled right and lit from the top you get the best burn with little difficulty, I do prefer my smaller Ti one. I have various hinged (lixada on the way) or slotted put together stoves, for both types I love how little space they take up and with the hinged how easy they flop open to assemble. Great video,

I got the Emberlit because it reminded me of the Outers I had in the 80s. Funny thing is, it went together like the little knock off.

The lixada does come with 2 metal strips that form a cross on top for a pot stand, you can easily stand any pot on top of it and its very stable. A tip for hot spots, sit on top a bunsen burner gauze that has a ceramic center, it displaces the heat more evenly.

9:30 put tent (or any metal stick) through those holes at the top to make a grill to rest cups on.

You can get a small round rack/tray from the thrift store that will probably sit on any of those little stoves to hold up your pot. Very light weight and about 5 to 6" dia.

Good vid. I bought the Outon stove a few months back at $18. the same size as the Emberlit large stove, but it has hinges and pin, looks identical to your small Lixada. Very sturdy with X pieces for small containers too.

Am I missing something? The three pot holders on the Ohuhu fold in for small pots / cups. And out for pans (like you had them).

30 years ago we used a tin can with holes cut in to it. And it came with free food. And all sizes.

This video was awesome. Please make more great videos like this.

Happy New Year, Great video review to start off the year. Look forward to seeing more. I too have a goal to get outside more often this year to places where I am not working. CtL

The woodstove you can put a small packable grill grate on top..and you can feed sticks underneath it while cooking...i have that style stove but different brand

Got all three. They are all good in their own way and in different situations.

Great video & great test comparison. Thanks!

tent stakes through the holes on the folding and you could set the pot on top

Interesting video. What do you recommend for starting fires? matches? a lighter? I agree with the others great vid

The trangia holder plate for the lixada can be placed on the top instead, and that enables it to hold the Stanley pot.

Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this fine review. You did a great job.

I like the Ohuhu.. can use smaller cups if you do not fold out the supports... and the thing I like best is you can cook on top of a picnic table. The fire is up off the surface. With Alcohol, it is a backup inside the camper. I just have little twigs to feed in the sides and do not have to remove the pan. In any case.. I like it. Thanks for thew review.

Nice video review! Just one question, do you think the lixada would last a 40 day hike?

The ohuhu will pack smaller if yoy flip the top piece upside down

The lixada hinged is my next stove there are mod videos out there showing how to take 2 1/8” x1” alum flat bars and notch them for a cross bar pot holder to fit smaller pots like the Stanley cook set

Would any of these wood stoves be good in the desert? I'm wanting to hike the PCT, CDT, and the AT. Would any of these stoves be okay for all three trails and for all environments?

I have a couple versions of the lixada. I like them but since I got my firebox stove, I like it better. I have a gasification stove like your ohuhu but mine has a better top. It can fit a small pot and has a decent opening to feed the fire, which is why I got it off amazon or eBay. But it holds a long fire if you use pellets. I use it for home or car camping. My fav is my firebox nano for backpacking cuz it is a powerhouse.

I have all 3, great stoves, and they just work to heat water. Great review.

I have a billy pot 14 cent so the huhu works for me and I like that it isn’t flat sheets of metal like the foldable one and all I use it for is boiling water and I don’t really care if I have to take it off for a couple seconds to feed the fire

For the Ohuhu, simply fold the legs of the potstand inwards like you do when packing it. Alternatively, you can use a small stainless steel trivet as a pot stand. Atb, The Solo Hiker....

How much do those things weigh? I would never want to carry anything like the Ohuhu as I imagine it is quite heavy. However, I am sure it would be good for car camping. I use a Vargo Titanium Hexagonal Stove. I did have to drill extra ventilation holes on four of the sides. There are numerous videos on how to modify it. My stove is also completely hinged and sets up in seconds. I can also invert it for use as a small grill. Titanium is a bit pricier, but it is definitely worth it when hiking (cools faster, lighter weight).

Great Video! I have an Emberlit clone by Lixada and the hinged Lixada both are Fantastic! Question: Where did you get you stainless steel mug, I Want One! Keep up the great work!

You can push those legs in on the ohuhu to get those pots to fit. Pretty simple. Or use the grill grate that comes with it.

I love my Tomshoo wood gas stove. And Yes it has a raised collar for ading wood and also a grill

My three biofuel stoves are the Firebox Nano2, the Silverfire Solo, and the Kelly Kettle

Great start of the year, awesome video

I've had my emberlit for 8 years. I just wish they were slightly larger. They tend to fill up with ash quite fast which blocks up the venting wholes and chokes out the fire. I would still recommend these stoves.

A really comprehensive review. Thanks for sharing ATB

Have you ever tried the sierra zip stove?

Have you tried the Canway Stove? It's similar to the Ohuhu but a bit better IMO. I love mine! 👍🏼

FYI, a lot of the more modern side-feeding stoves now have an X piece that will support the pot and titanium pack-flat versions are available for $30-$45.

Lixada hands down because of price, packability, weight and ease of use. Not only can it run off twigs but it can also run off an alcohol stove or esbit fuel tabs. I use this stove all the time, doesn’t cause hotspots unless using thin gauge material like titanium.

To use smaller pots on the ohuhu just put the included grill rack on top of the pot rests, great video, love the channel

Really helpful video. Thank you. I like the little Lixada however does not look like it would hold a GSI cup. Is that so? May just spend the extra money and get a Firebox Nano.

Thanks for an excellent video! Fine demonstration/comparison of the different stoves, but... Have you tried either of the two Firebox stoves? I like them so much that I have three of them currently (1 Gen2, and 2 Nano's...all S/S vice titanium). All have various wood, alcohol and charcoal/pellet configurations and built like tanks, plus store down into an easy to carry flat w/an easy/quick assembly. Noooo, I'm not paid/sponsored by Firebox, I just love them! Try'em, you'll also love them also!!! Again, Thanks for the video and hope to see you make a comparison w/the Firebox units, either or both S/S or titanium versions!

Hello Taylor. There is a simple solution for the 'pot is too small for the top' problem. All you need is to get your hands on stainless steel thick mesh. Cut a piece to be about 3/8th inch wider than the top of the stove when assembled, and place the mesh atop the stove after assembly. If you desire compactness, take the mesh and cut it into 4 equal squares and roll one edge for each piece. Now, you can add a pair of 'pins' to allow you to push a pin linking two mesh sections. Two of these should span the top of the stove easily, but you should allow for the rolled edge where the pin will insert, ,and thus your 'squares' will start out as rectangles before you roll the extra mesh along one edge to make the pin connection slot. Yes, make sure your pins are good steel as well, since they will be spanning the center of the stove. Another way that is a bit more finicky is to do a similar thing, but with triangular pieces of mesh that are rolled along two edges. The resulting pinned together mesh will have an 'X' of pins through the center, and the pin ends will rest on the upraised edges of the stove. OR, you can go with the simplest solution... use a 'bag' from a larger folding stove to carry your chosen stove, and a large enough piece of the mesh that will easily overhang all edges of the stove after assembly. Just a few thoughts, speaking, Frank-ly

Great video. Worth the sub! I like that you used the word "finagle". I actually used it in a video I did yesterday.

On the round stove, don't the fins on top fold IN for smaller pots? Mine does.

I think you can turn the pot stand portion of the ohuhu upside down when packing it.

My parents got the newer hinged large lixada stove. It works perfectly. I also have the Lixada alcohol stove. Works too and my parents Lixada wood stove will hold the alcohol stove as well.

Thank you!! I’m shopping now and your video was the most thorough & informative👌🏽

The Ouhu packs with the top pot stand part upside down. Even more compact like that.

I just got a similar stove for $8 that came with 10 burners from my local army navy surplus

The Ohuhu/ Lixada Wood Gas stove can be adapted to hold a smaller pot simply by turning the pot stands inwards. There is no problem fuelling as it will burn for a long time on a 300 gram load of Wood Pellet/Cat Litter.

If you haven't already by now, you should check out the Bushbox by Bushcraft Essentials. It's like the Lixada stove, but comes with two metal strips that you slide into slots at the top, allowing you to put even the smallest canteen/cup onto it without balancing issues.

After doing research I found this model UPC: 605757168425 on Lixada website. It is like the round model you tested except now has the cut out for the twigs, etc. Have you seen this model yet? I am considering this type because it seems like if it is windy outside the wind could easily work against you on the two foldable stoves.

When using a smaller pot on the Ohuhu you could fold in the pot supports for better stability. I don't think it would harm the stove by doing this.

Try the Solo Stove. I have a few and it's my favorite.

For the Lixada, find a large computer fan grill and fold the arms over each side. I used one over a modified coffee can for quite a while.

I have the round Gasification stove & I find it doesnt like to be re fed,... They are a Top Down burning Gasification stove so they really work best fill & burned once.

solostove ... same thing. gassification stoves need more fuel because they burn hotter. the stanley is also just a small pot.

Nice review. Thanks for sharing.

some of the items have sharp edges, which may cut you in a hurry or in the dark, or when installing/ packing.

Great video! I'm planning to look at others. I have the OHUHU and I bought a small grate at the goodwill store to have a larger flat surface on the three points. If that doesn't last, I'll try a wire grate from Coughlans. My bucket list has the Silverfire 2.0 on it.

enjoyed the video..subscribed and went to amazon and found several sizes and models of the LIXADA stove. If you were to get another one which size would you get...if you did not have one.thanks

If I dont care about that little extra weight which one is best ? .. steel vs titanium which one is strongest and durable and come prolong life ??

Great video review! Thank you for the helpful information!

Are they titanium and break video thanks for the video

There's a newer release of the Lixada stove that has an interlocking cross-beam top for it that also is raised slightly allowing flame to flare out a bit which might help heating across a wider pan, etc. This is the version I have just recently purchased : www.amazon.ca/Lixada-Lightweight-Portable-Stainless-Backpacking/dp/B06XKVLS32/ref=sr_1_2_sspa

Bonjour So which one is the best ?

it really helped me and i cant wait to us what im going to get

Bonjour which one is the best ?

Very useful and nice review. Thank you so much.

Very good review.... very good. Thanks

I have the lixada stove but just a tiny bit smaller, only weighs 120 gr and fits all my little pots perfectly! Only paid 8 bucks on aliexpress.

Issue I had with the Emberlit (titanium)....very sharp edges.

How do you make a stove that doesn't work a portable stove without a lot of smoke coming out.People throw away stoves can you use fire wood and put it under the stove to make it a oven.Can you use lighter fluid for the wood instead of charcoal ?

You missed the best one and I normally do not say something is the best but in this case it is. The Solo Stove Lite is the ideal wood burning bio mass stove. There are a lot of reasons it's better then the others but my favorite reason is this. It's also an alcohol stove in two different ways.... 1st way , you can use a little alcohol stove in it like the Trangia in place of burning wood. You can ( this and the Bush Buddy are the only two ( Backpacking ) wood burning stoves that can do this ) The stove by itself as a alcohol stove. The ash pan in the bottom of the stove can be filled with alcohol ( about 3/4 oz works really good ). It's a great way to heat some water in a hurry for a hot beverage. Or to reconstitute a dehydrated meal when you can not locate any wood or dry wood. By the way the reason I say the Solo Stove is the best and better then the Bush Buddy is because it costs the lease between the two of them.
