A good and equitable test. At first glance, the Uberleben seems to have a superior design but upon more reflection I personally believe that the Emberlit is the superior stove due to a slower more controlled burn rate. In actual cooking other than simple water heating, one typically requires a slower rate of burn rather than all out inferno. A lower temperature is often preferred to accomplish a preferred level of simmer, frying, or even baking. Enjoyed watching and a thumbs up for the video, of course. I see your channel is at 6K. Awesome. I hope that the channel continues to grow for you even more rapidly but above all, I also hope that sharing the videos with your viewers will continue to be fulfilling for you as well. God bless.

I don't know what I'd do without videos like this once I have an idea of what I want. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making this.

Excellent video. I think it very much confirms the importance of proper airflow and good design in a graphic and simple way. The bottom vented stove showed a far more stable and active burn throughout the entire test.

Good information on the stoves , Thanks Mr.Young and it was nice to see your smiling face once again. Have a merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you and your family.

Great comparison between both stoves Mark, I think when a stove burns out quicker it initially burns with a stronger flame from start to finish. The advantage i find with slower burning stoves is that it allows you to let the flame part boil water quicker and the longer burning coals are nicer to cook on . Thanks for sharing

Another factor was the fact that "X" amount of wood in the larger stove will have more vacant air space around the wood than in a smaller stove. Thats to say that if one can hold a pint of wood (I use "pint" for volume rather than weight) and another can hold two pints of wood, then one will be solidly packed whilst the other has more vacant air space and thus will have moe ability to burn through its wood supply much faster than the one in which air space is not so freely avaliable. Good little exeriment Mark. Nice one!

You dispelled my doubts about making a choice ... thanks very much!

I’ve used my Uberleben stove several times this Fall and early Winter. It’s done exactly what I wanted it to do. Great stove!

Great test, Mark. You could be happy with either one. Thank you for the video

Warped a little bit over time, somehow I can relate. Peace

That was a great test and I enjoy your personality.

Both seem like great options Mark, great demo!

Nice comparison Mark! Thanks Merry Christmas to you and yours

Another objective review Mark. Thank you. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and ATB for 2019.

Great video Mark, nice to see you really thought about trying to keep the test conditions equitable.

خیلی ممنون جالب بود Very good thanks

I think I would prefer the stove that used less wood to boil the water even if it took a tad longer. Very good comparison. Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a good one.

Nicely done.

I really enjoyed this review as I will be buying this type of wood burning stove very soon. As always your voice is captivating and your review, honest. Thank you for your agenda free content. Have a Blessed n Joyous Christmas.

Seasons greetings and thanks for another great comparison video

Thanks for the review.

Just discovered your channel and enjoying it very much. It's nice to find gear reviews from a person who is not concerned about prepping for the zombie apocalypse. Good job on a well controlled test. I wonder if there is enough draft in the emberlit stove to use pellets effectively?

I love your videos. Merry Christmas to you sir.

Very good test! I have to say I'll have to stick with my old emberlit for now".. Merry x-mass to you bud..

Great video! Thanks!

Another informative video. I'm thinking the Ubeleben, with its improved air flow, may be beneficial when it's raining and the air is humid and heavy and firewood may be damp. BTW I made your energy bars for gifts to coworkers. I used Medaglia D`oro instant expresso as inspiration from Shug. I called them NRG 3 bars 3 for Lonnie, Mark & Shug. They were a big hit. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

nice test of the 2 and Merry Christmas Mark to you and your family

Interestingly Uberleben has just introduced a new version of the Stoker that now has “reduced draft”. Perhaps they picked up on your comments!

Very good comparison video. Thank you

Great video Mark! I think I like the ember lit better, only because it holds the coals longer, but I would be happy with either one, they look like great stoves!

These are the options iv been considering. I'm thinking Amberlit mainly cause it's made in America. I can make holes in the bottom for extra air flow if I want.

Merry Christmas to you and your family Mark. from Alan in the uk.

Once you use these things enough, gasification stoves and standard wood stoves you come to realize one thing. You need it to boil water within 10min but you need it to burn on a single fuel source for 20mins. Best one I’ve found and I’ve tried almost every single brand is Emberlit. Controlled but efficient and when vertical stacked with dry wood will boil and cook with almost no smoking. For just boiling water I’d say Uber but anything else, definitely Emberlit even above firebox

Great Side By Side comparison, Mark ! Got my cup of Joe While watching ! Merry Christmas To You & Yours From Up The Trail A Piece, Be well, Friend ! ATB T God Bless

I was wondering about your thoughts, on the new and improved flat pack stoker stove. A burn comparison would be most interesting, between it and the original.

Great review! Thanks for posting =-)

nice vid. do the test over. no wind screen. each stove with each pot/kettle

great test

Thx nice Video, and Kind Regards from Germany have a Merry X-Mas and a happy healthy New Year. And again Thx i use my Gas Wood Stove only with Pellets since i saw ure Video. Meanwhile i use Pellets in my Kaminofen at Home as Firestarter and additional Firepower and i have to say it works perfect.

would be cool to see a door in front and a slider on bottom to open/close and regulate air flow / burn rate

Each to their own. If your boiling water for purification or rehydrating a backpackers pantry meal (yuk) then faster is better. If your actually cooking food, fast is usually bad.

Being able to conserve fuel/burn through fuel slower during a emergency situation is very important so I would say the Emberlit is the better deal!

Thanks for sharing !

CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIINA was all I needed to know. Emberlit for me!!

Hello Mark! I ran across your video for the first time when looking for a small flat stove. You mentioned that you could show how you can put the pot rack on the top from side to side instead of corner to corner. But that would give better height with an adjustment. I could not find that information. Could you please let me know what kind of an adjustment can be made because I am going to order the Uber leben stove? Thank you so much. Shirley

China has a production line of Uberleben?????

Good looking stove nice video thanks

Interesting side by side comparison Mark. Does the kettles might influence boil time, could be interesting to retake the test by inverting the kettles And see If the Uberleden still have the faster boil time And If the difference is the same. Do you think that the fact the panels of The Uberleden are stamped with a kind of crest will eventually help to reduce the wrapping? Both have interesting design And pros & cons but one point you didn't cover is the price difference that might influence the choice when you are on a budget. Like to take the opportunity to wish you, your wife And all your family a Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄👍✌️

Excellent comparison. I see after a quick search that the Emberlit is an average of $19-$20 more on the big retail sites. If I did not already own an Emberlit, this would carry at least some weight when considering which to purchase. BUT... having made and used many hobo stoves, I know there is a fine balance between enough holes and too many holes. I think the Emberlit may have a slight edge in the long run. Could be my own bias though :-). Either way Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Uberleben Stoker @ Amazon UK cost £56 British Pounds.

This has probably been asked and answered tons of times, but I can't find it, what kind of windscreen is that?

I call my Lixada an Emberlit knock-off but it's freaky how close to the Uberleben Stoker it is. Same dents in all the same places. Same circular hole. It's obvious (IMO) Uberleben paid a manufacture set-up free for Chinese production then the Chinese used the same set-up to make their own.

Thanks for another great video. Are there any brick & morter stores in Canada for the Uberleben? I don't want to go on Amazon, but would deal with a reputable dealer on line.

Where did you get the metal folding shield?

I have the lixada version with holes. The best quality is the big door, I can just take sticks and branches without processing or cutting and start cooking. I regulate the heat by using a large diameter stick and a couple of smaller sticks, adjusting the feed rate. It really shines on long cooks, like chili or stew. I paid under $15 with free shipping from Ali express for the stainless steel version. I have seen the titanium version for Just over $22 ! This stove is very easy to light and handles wet conditions very well.

Uberleben, a German sounding American designing Chinese manufacturing company :) they're quality is so excellent it didn't even cross my mind it's Chinese made thanks for the review :)

i'll probably have more than one stove anyway and they are cheap to buy.

Mmmm, steak on the embers..Mmmm

You must be an engineer. It’s not just your approach, but it’s your terminology. If not, you could have been.

I'd like this man to compare my Current Girlfriend with the Cute Girl at the Coffee Shop

> "Chinese copy" > American (Idaho) company with mostly US manufacturing > I'm confused

I'll recommend the Emberlit instead of this copy cat knockoff that is an inferior stove.

One dozen or 12 eggs. To me one has way to many holes and one needs a few holes. Otherwise it's just personal taste in the long run.

"The Chinese". What?! Uberleben is an American company based in Idaho. The Stoker is made in the USA.

China copy.
