When I fill a twig stove, I try to remember to lay it on its side, and slide in the wood sideways. You can get more fuel in that way. After erecting the stove, I lay the kindling and tinder on top and start the fire. While the fire is blossoming, a cup of tea goes nicely. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Have had mine for over 10 yrs now. I love it. The grill will also hold a smaller diam. pot than the 3 legs may handle. I use wood pellets and drizzle hand sanitizer on top to light it. Today, as a matter of fact, I used 1 1/2 cups of pellets w/no additional fuel of any kind and at 42 minutes it still boiled 8 oz. of water. Bestest, cheapest stove you can buy.

Well this comment may be 3 years too late for you but mix permethrin (.5%) in a bucket and dip ALL your clothes. Let dry on a line and wash normally afterwards. Never a tick again!

Of the dozens of people I've seen demonstrate these stoves, you are the first, and so far, only one whos loaded it right and understands how these work. I just got one and it works great and I load it like you do and it last much longer - think Swedish log, right? Anyhow, great job and thanks for the info.

Your delivery is very humorous and entertaining, this is my first watch and I see it’s 4 years old. I’m going to look for more of your productions.

Well done Mike! I was getting worried about ya'! Good to see you. The ticks seem to be hanging out in dead leaves now. I had three or four on me last weekend. I'm ready for a canoe trip!!!

Cool thanks for sharing

Great video Mike. I’ve been enjoying your videos. So happy I found your channel. I’m looking forward to watching all of your videos. Enjoy and be safe out there!

Just got one, same design for 13 bucks online. Trying it tomorrow. Had others before, work great

Thank you forbyour demonstration! Love the one I built. Have a blessed day!

I have to admire a guy who knows how to ask the question: "Is that not glorious?" I have an Ohuhu with the two additions you mentioned. Ticks . . . . I remember those things. I'm glad you're there and I'm here.

Re: sauerkraut, I introduced my foster kids to 'fried sauerkraut' and it was a huge mistake. They REFUSE to use 'raw' sauerkraut now. Any time I use sauerkrautnow, it HAS to be fried or they won't eat it (brats, schnitzel, hot dogs). And I congratulate you on demonstrating the PROPER use of a gasification stove. I can't tell you many 'sheeple' I've had to correct on their MISuse of these; and their faulting of the stove vs their inability to recognize that these are NOT 'twig stoves'.

Thanks for the video, reminded me of camping with the scouts. 👍👍

Hey Mike, I also like the Folger's coffee singles. A helpful hint if you are just making coffee - After pouring out the coffee from the packet, you can fold it into a stirring stick instead of having to get your spoon out. Not a huge deal, but you don't have to wash a coffee packet.

Thank you Mike. Great video and great sense of humour. You had me laughing out loud! Thanks for sharing.

I like that it burns clean - with this it won't draw attention

Useful info about how to use it & the alcohol tray I wondered what that was for Thanks.

Cheers Mike. I enjoyed your video.

Thank you for making this video Cheers.

The fold out saw is great to have too but I find a set of garden branch shears is even better and faster....

Awesome Mike I have me one of them stoves there great i had made me a grill for mine , i came over from Carolina Chris Outdoors channel.

I am currently using a solid copper bottle for boiling water. The soot isn't a problem because it seems to have a leidenfrost effect on copper. The copper goes black but it doesn't seem to keep on getting thicker Plus the water boils quicker

I have a near identical stove. I sure wish they would put a fourth little support around the edge. I have a heck of a time with the three. Especially if I am using a canteen cup.

I have been using the ohuhu stove for a few years now and i have to say it works great,

That was a great video. Apart from the ticks!! 🤣

Hiya Mike! I watched your adventure with Carolina Chris and a friend of his is a friend of mine. I have two of the same stoves (got both as gifts) but mine did come with the grill. That's a nice extra. Very nice hob explaining how the stove works. I really haven't tried mine out. Now what did you make with that kraut? Have you seen that Franks sells single serve packets? They are perfect 1 serving size. I'll catch ya on the next one.

Hi Mike, what size is that little pot your using but the handle? I saw those on Amazon but they had different sizes what size are you using? Thanks, I love the video. Jude from Kentucky ✝️ 🥀 🐎 💚

Nice video, Mike, but you really need to dial back a bit on that sugar! Here in the Czech republic, we saute a bit of small-chopped onion before adding the drained sauerkraut. If it isn't already in the tinned kraut, add some caraway seeds to boost the flavour. It makes all the difference. :-)

Well done :)

Thank you! Yes. It's a top lit updraft stove. I'm surprised how many people don't light it from the top and try to start it like a bonfire or a BBQ pit. Top lit stoves are lit from the top, what a concept lol

these gasification thingies are great... I got one a few years back and still use it (from time to time) I got a pan style billy can to go with it. It fits right in there in its original stuff sack. If you were to use the little tray with liquid fuel I would recommend you use a piece of rockwool sat in said little tray to have the liquid fuel absorbed into so that does not spill in case you knock the stove over...

I have this stove and it is great.... especially for the price. I rarely see a review that points out that anything under this stove will be burnt to a crisp so use it accordingly.

Ticks are ruining things here in Ontario, Canada. I'm 47 and live between Toronto and Niagara Falls... growing up we never heard of ticks, we could roll in long grass, go anywhere... no worries. Within the last 5-7 years there has been an overload/invasion of ticks in this area and all over the province.

Cool video. Subscribed. Have you tried wood pellets in this stove?

The best way for me to get effecient use out of gasifiers is to bundle your wood and put it all in straight up and down position and I stuff it in as much as possible then I do a top down fire. I never seem to have to add or feed the fire after that and it gasifies quickly. I think its just drawing up more air and getting more direct surface contact that way but who knows.

I have one of these type of stove but i just use the solid fuel , i will have to try the wood in it next time.

I Got the same stove, i love it, can you use it in Winter??

Great video! Used the stove properly with some actually explanations for the uninformed. I pair this kind of stove with a multitool saw (twigs) and a portable chainsaw for anything wider than my thumb. I have cleared logs on my way instead of jumping over them with the chainsaw, it's great! In case of emergency I have a very good bushcraft base, and i can go on bikepacking/canoeing without worry. Always keep an alcohol stove inside in case things are too wet, or can't find dry wood. Perfect combination where weight and pack size don't matter as much as while hiking. I can save weight from the saws by making my own tent pegs if i wanted to, and store the stove in the MSR stowaway if hiking light, but an alcohol stove will still outperform.

I hate ticks so thumbs up for killing one.

Cutting the sticks shorter than the height of gasifier holes speeds the process. Frankly, I don’t find gasifier stoves to be much of an advantage. Some, though, do. To each his own. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

🤩🤩🤩

I have servel of these types of stoves no with issues in using them

people in the desert dream about camping in the woods with real trees ,sap, ,little streams ,

That is glorious Thanks for the pitch. Is that a stupid neighbor running a blower ?

Throw the ticks in the stove!

Too much wood

Tick killer!!!

You lost me when you actually took out a hand saw to cut your wood.
