Another good video, Mike, but I wanted to point out a couple of errors, if I may. You stated that alcohol stoves are not permitted during fire bans, but that's not correct, though it is a widely repeated mistake. Most types of alcohol stoves are forbidden, but Trangia stoves, because of their design, conform to the provincial regulations on stove use during fire bans. Trangia alcohol stoves use liquid fuel AND have a lid that closes so as to shut off the flame instantly (as do some other brands of alcohol stoves). The DIY pop can stove you showed in the video, obviously would not be permitted. I'm attaching a screenshot of the relevant rules from the province's website on your FB page. Later in the video you stated that during a "total fire ban", only the gas stoves are permitted, but in fact, during a total ban, all stoves (and all fires) are prohibited. But most years, fire bans are not that comprehensive and permit stove use, provided they meet the conditions I described in the regulations I referred to earlier. Hope this helps, - Martin

Loved this. Concise and full of info. Gave all the info about each to make an educated decision. Really appreciate you.

Nice nice! The only one of the three is the alcohol stove...i need to make me one for sure! Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge with us Mr.Mike hope you stay safe and blessed my friend! Cheers, Jerbs

"So different they're literally different states of matter" - okay, that got me; here, have a Like :D

Love this Mike that you for explaining this!! - it is difficult to decide what stove you need when out. This made it simple. Thank you again!! 👍 Sending a like, love and sub from Ireland 🇮🇪 Keep up the good work!!

The 1 that boils my water for coffee the quickest

Nice vid. I prefer the twig stove and camp fires to the other methods. If there is a burn ban then I take the jet boil along.

Well articulated. I’ve been looking into this for a bit and your video was the most concise and useful information I came across. Personally, I think I’m in favor of the wood stove. It seems more sustainable, and just fun compared to the other options. After all, building a wood fire (even a small one in a little can) is just an integral part of camping (at least to me). That said, those pesky fire bans make the gas canister furnaces almost a must-have.

A fourth option would be a collapsible grill, such as the little Coghlans Pack Grill. Mine can not only be used along with a campfire, but it will also clear my gas, twigg, & alcohol stoves for grilling or better placement.

Great video, very thorough

I am always amazed when MIKE IN THE WOODS actually is Mike in the woods.

Very clear. Subscribed. Cheers.

People use gas stove because of fire bans in the US, which is sad because they involve the most transportation costs/pollution for the fuel, and more waste created per liter. It can also be somewhat dangerous if tipped over, because the flame wont just go out if it happens, but it will most likely never be an issue as you should be able to pat down any embers with your foot. It's the least environment friendly option, yet the most used - and almost enforced by law. Alcohol stoves should all have some protection against being tipped over because they are honestly a fire hazzard, but twig stoves are perfectly safe! Twig stoves offer a container for the flames and coals, which almost completely neutralizes the threat of spreading a fire. Unless you are an idiot or have ill intentions you can not miss-use one and create a wildfire. Let things burn out and then use the poop trowel you already have to burry the ash or biochar that is left over - you reduce waste created, clean up dead biomass from the woods and even help fertilize the soil with potash.

No white gas or Esbit stove. ?

Nice video

I still use proper wood stove and fancy feast stove

Very good video

Van i just not use rocks and twigs instead of a twig stove?

What is brand of twig stove in this video. I can’t find it

I don't get the twig stove; if you have twigs, who needs the stove? What's the advantage of the twig stove compared to a small "camp fire"?

Your "twig stove" is actually NOT a twig stove. It is designed to use a trangia style alcohol stove, but I suppose if you didn't have any alcohol, twigs would work, after a certain fashion, even though it's not designed for it.
