Ohuhu Stove & Methylated spirit stove comparison
Further to my previous experiments with Alcohol stoves, I purchased an Ohuhu 'Twig' stove. I decided to try a comparison of these types of stoves to see how they stacked up against each other. The results actually surprised me. In 2019 I had not realised that there was such a thing as a twig stove & Alcohol stoves appeared to be the only alternative to bottled gas or cannister type cookers.

Alcohol stoves
มุมมอง 79หลายเดือนก่อน
In 2019 during Covid, I played around with alcohol hiking stoves to see if they would be suitable as a backup type of cooker. This was a video I made at the time but when Covid ended I put them into the shed & basically forgot about them. This is the original video I made at the time but following this one I will put up an updated video in which I try out a 'twig' stove & compare it to one of t...

Rian & I talked about a trip to Vietnam when I was in Queensland some time ago. Fortunately things came together for us & we were able to plan & book our trip from opposite sides of Australia. Rian flew to Perth, then we boarded our Vietjet Air flight to Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) Part of the fun of any trip is the planning stage & our planning actually went like clockwork.

I was invited by a subscriber to my channel to join him & a few of his friends on a short sojourn along some 4WD tracks to the north east of Northam in Western Australia. As I live on the south coast of WA, I left a day earlier than their start date to be able to join them. This is the first part of my journey

Do you have plans for the improvements you have made for this saw? I have just purchased it for home handy work and have started a few of my own upgrades. The mitre gauge i replaced the rail with 1 I made out of plastic kitchen chopping board, no more slack and glides through the T slots like a dream.
@@kimclark4055 I didn't make any formal plans for the improvements I made Kim. I did make a few jigs that I saw on You Tube which were for specific projects. I did make a cross cut sled which I use regularly. I also had to replace the gearbox as the threads on the winding mechanism stripped out which was very disappointing. There is a video about that little episode as well. Good luck with your use of it.
Tell me what kind of Table saw The best one
The ' best ' saw is really a matter of opinion & how much money you want to spend. The Makita is probably the most expensive of the ' cheaper' saws. There are much better quality saws on the market but they are much more expensive to buy so it is really up to the individual to decide what level of quality he wants based on his budget.
Great wrap up to a great trip. Thanks for the memories Doug I had a brilliant time that you helped make possible
Thank you Doug
Tremmor and shaking bro...try use gimbal.
Hi Doug. I tried to send you a private message but cannot see a link. I have not watched all of your videos so you may have answered this: Are you ex-military? I am. Thanks, Dan
@@danielkemp1442 No Dan I was in the age group for conscription but my marble did not drop. I did have friends who did serve but I went off to Europe & lost touch with them. I have always been interested in world history & during my time in Europe in the early 1970's I visited many historical sites of WW2 including Berlin (east & west) & Berchtesgaden in Bavaria (where the rubble of Hitler's compound was still in place.) When I returned to the land of OZ I developed an interest in Vietnam mainly because I could so easily been sent there. Although I was in fact politically opposed to our involvement I actually returned from a working holiday in NZ to register. Had the ballot gone the other way I would have gone. I have read Paul Ham's book Vietnam which is probably the most comprehensive book about Australia's involvement but it weighs 1.3kg & runs for 814 pages, not the sort of book to read in bed.( It could probably kill you if you fell asleep with it above your head!!) I have been to Vietnam 3 times now & travelled down the length of it by train, plane & bus. It is a lovely place to visit & although some officials are overly officious the people are genuinely friendly. If you would like to discuss anything type my name into g mail with the numerals one eight after it.
Hi. Enjoying your video GCR - great info. You refer to an app for recording odometer and fuel. Which app do you use? Thanks, Dan
Hi Daniel, glad you are enjoying the video. The app I use is called FillUp which is on the Playstore, the Android app store. There are a number of different apps so you have a choice depending on the information you wish to record. A previous app I used suddenly disappeared so if you want to keep a record over time you might need to find an app that allows you to download the information you record onto your home computer for instance. Hope this helps Cheers Doug
Thanks Doug. We have just watched Part 2, Westbound. Loved it. Thanks for this vital informative resource. We are currently planning a trip for 2025 from Brisbane through Broken Hill, Flinders Ranges, Wave Rock, Laverton, Longreach, Brisbane. Your information is great planning. Thanks again!!!!!
Hey Doug, reckon I will get one of those Uhuhu stoves. Can’t believe how long it burners for, you could probably cook a good feed with out any problem I’d say looking at your testing. Thanks for the suggestion mate.🍺
@@geoffwilson7774 Hi Geoff. I was really impressed with the Uhuhu when I used the pellets & a few small twigs to get it going. The heat is unbelievable once it gets going. Controlling the heat may be problematic but lifting of the pot or pan would solve that. A feed of bacon & eggs would be no problem I think. The other alternative is to let the flames die down a bit then start cooking. I guess that's the fun of it because this is going back to pioneer type cooking over a campfire & in those days we didn't have knobs to control the heat. I got mine on eBay for about $50? I reckon I will use it a fair bit on cold mornings when those gas canisters lose a lot of pressure. Might be worth a try mate eh?
Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
Good morning brother are you working with your gear for your next adventure from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 I am experimenting with these little cookers to see if I can use them on future trips Francisco. The Uhuhu one is very efficient & I will certainly try it on my next trip. I dont know when that will be but hopefully not to long in the future. Hope you are well in imperial county California.
Was it hot in Vietnam and humid 🥵 from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 It was both hot & humid brother. I was rinsing my shirts every time I got back to the hotel. Hope you are well in Imperial County California.
Good morning brother keep enjoying your self from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
There are thousands of motorcycles take it easy my friend from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 I learned how to dodge them brother. Safe & sound back in OZ now.
That was a huge scorpion 🦂 brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲 have fun
They make them big in Vietnam Francisco. Did you see the Centipede? about 4 inches long!!
Interesting to say the least Doug. Certainly a very busy place with endless possibilities. Safe travels n see you on your next episode. 🍺🤙🏽
I cry at the atrocity towards pizza kind.
Enjoy your time brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
Great video brother and have a great time in Vietnam from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 Thank you Francisco, more videos to follow.
Plenty of history there Doug, none of it good. Hopefully gets better. 🍺🤙🏽
@@geoffwilson7774 Hang in there Geoff, more videos to follow.
Xin Chao Doug! We're 10 minutes into the video. Kids wanted me to be the first to comment. Look forward to the rest
WOOOHOO! 5 more to go up over a couple of days.
In my case I needed to shorten the door and a few boards. I knew there would be problems but I didn't expect a few nuts to be missing but I have something that is probably from another machine. And the worst thing about it is the lack of level "0" in this saw blade. I think a hammer will help.
The makita is a great saw for the price and almost every table saw you will be making jigs to suit the work you do with the saw, the biggest disapointment is the blade insert and has to be the first improvement as the plastic one bows to buggery when cutting things lie box lids and such but after that fix the fence build a crosscut sled and a mitre sled and that will cover almost everything you would need and those you need to build for any saw and the main reson for building a mitre sled is the sled track size is so small and adjustable mitre rail for the track are all made for standard size t-track that is much larger.
@@brianbice1427 Yes Brian the plastic insert is shocking. I made one out of aluminium to overcome the bending. Then the gearbox packed it in so I replaced that & the saw has been ok since.
Great video many thanks , it help me so so much I was struggling. But now sorted,
@@jeffbarrett1787 Glad the video helped you Jeff.
@@dougrorison1211 now that my rise and fall cogs are sorted, there is a question you may or may not be able to answer . I’m thinking of changing my 110v to 240v, apparently re arranging the wiring will do this, do you know if that is done via the switch or motor. Any advice/help
Great video Doug. I have the exact same unit and the exact same problem. Just got the replacement unit and will put back together. A few of your comments are totally warranted... The crappy quality of something so expensive is a total joke. And that housing is only destined to thread again with a bit of use... Shocking. I also have a Triton Workcentre like yours, and the drawbacks of that are far fewer than the drawbacks of the mlt100.
Yes sadly the trend these days is price not quality no matter what you buy.
Oh and yes, ample coffee breaks!
Finished the series Doug it was most excellent. Looking forward to hearing more about it in the next couple of weeks 👍
Yeah it was a great trip mate. The Beast got rewarded last week, new wheel bearings, steering arm, oil filters, air filter ! Worth it though for peace of mind for next trip. 😂
Another great series. Thanks for sharing Doug.
Glad you enjoyed it, take care.
Good trip Doug, the beast done well. See ya in the next one. 🍺
Does the beast give you any trouble at all brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 Not usually Francisco. I had some work done on him & now he is as good as new! 🤣
Good variety of stops in this episode. Those spring steel pop-up tents, let me tell you..... 😅😅
🙂
Good night brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲 I'll save this video for the morning 🌅
God Bless the Aussies.
@@richardbehappy5412 And you too Richard.
Keep them coming brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
Back on the road Doug. Just heard guitar and got excited!!!!
@@jasoncarruthersentertainment Hey Jason how are you going? This was a short trip. Was invited to go with one of my subscribers whose brother in law was over from NZ & wanted to see a bit of WA. Not much guitar playing but I did put a couple of tracks up on some of the longer scenes of the road. Hope you are getting plenty of gigs.
@@dougrorison1211 did gig Sydney last weekend. Also have another gig on cruise ferry Sydney Harbour soon although I do get sea sick so I’ll be popping my pills lol. Take care Doug🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
Look like you guys are getting some rain over there we haven't seen rain here in five months in the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 we were the same Francisco then all of a sudden the rain came. I was in basically the same area about 6 weeks prior & there was no rain at all in the previous series of videos. Don't worry mate, when the rains come they come with vengeance! I see parts of USA have just had some bad weather. Stay well brother.
Have fun with your friends brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 we had great fun Francisco. Could not fold that tent though😂
@@dougrorison1211 I know that was interesting 😁 enjoy your time brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
The beast really earnt it's pay this trip
@@Juganort81 ooh yeah mate. Booked in for a big service in a week or two.
Good video, nice being back riding shotgun 👍. At last something worth watching on TH-cam.
@@CaravaningaroundAustralia Thank you for that. I appreciate your positive comments
Right in time for after dinner video brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 I timed it well then brother. Don't get carsick bouncing around on the tracks!
The campsite track is long overdue for grading 😅
@@Juganort81 hahaha! 🤣
I see you are wearing your jacket 🧥 here had 122degrees yesterday 🥵🥵💥🌞🌞🌞
@@franciscosandiego3026 Very cool in the outback at this time of year Francisco. You must be sweltering in Imperial County California. 122° f way too 🔥🥵 hot
Keep them coming from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 more on the way brother
Good morning brother I'm ready for this adventure from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
@@franciscosandiego3026 There will be 7 episodes this time Francisco.
Hey Doug Hope all is well.
@@richardbehappy5412 All is well Richard. Thank you. I hope it is the same for you.
Very good! Like the pie warmer
@@Juganort81 Yes mate, it's very handy!
Teacher, could you help me with something? I have some questions.
@@andresleon6818 what are your questions Grasshopper?
Be safe Doug. The fire season is just starting here in Cali.
You be safe Richard. I've been reading about the fires in New Mexico & they are scary!! Strangely I have spent the day burning off around my property here in Albany. We have had a fair bit of rain recently so I take the opportunity to burn off the undergrowth around the trees in preparation for the next fire season. Be safe my friend from your friend in Aussie.
@@dougrorison1211 Thank you Doug
I was hoping you were going to show us how to fix the not flat table and to square the blade and fence. Table is so much not flat I can't even check if the blade it square as there is no flat reference.
If it is that bad I would take it back for a refund. It isn't really made for precise work but more a jobbing saw.
I totally understand that I would have. It's why I held back buying one myself. This was a gift from someone who thought my make-shift, super basic, home made one was dangerous (Which it is). It was very sweet of them.
Excellent video series of a great trip by the looks of it Doug. Appreciate it and all the video editing as well. Looking forward to your next adventure mate. 🍺
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it.
