I have 2 of these etna stoves I was so impressed with the first one I bought I got a second as a spare . I use them over a titanium pot and it boils water very fast and efficiently. Also it's very compact so fits in my brew kit easily .Big recommend from me .
Great video. My first winter camp was a week in February, in the snow 46 years ago all I could afford was a Bluet Stove which was rubbish because of the cold. Thankfully my mate had a Trangia which saved the day. We then progressed to Primus stoves which were fantastic but did struggle one year mountaineering in the Alps where it was difficult to buy paraffin. This time of year, I use a Trangia copy with a windshield slow but reliable in the cold weather. Keep up the good work, have fun.
I never worry about boil time. If a person can't wait 4 minutes or less for water to boil, they need a new hobby. Never been in such dire straits as to need a cup pf coffee in under 2 minutes😂. As long as the burner does it, no complaints. I can figure out something to do while it gets to temp.
I have a similar stove to this and its fantastic for boiling water, however they do seem to have a very narrow hotspot which means frying etc can be a bit of a chore as only the centre of the pan gets hot. Still, they are a great little item and great value for money.
Cheers Dan, the amount of content you put out is amazing, nice little review, I bet you could even make a box of matches sound interesting .Well done mate. Pushing 55k subs 👍
Kombat UK do a great little stove for £12.00. I bought one at the start of the year,and have used it on mountains,in woods all over. Never failed to preform as well as other more expensive stoves. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
Coincidentally I'm watching one of your vids now on my TV (2019 setting out your trail cameras) saw this and paused my TV and now on my phone lol. I'd just watched your recent video in the woods with the hot tent. All great, keep them coming 👍
I always cook on the lowest gas output I can. A high flame wastes heat that escapes around the sides of the pot/pan. A lower flame will boil almost as fast with less waste. Keeping lid on also increases boil time.
I have one of these and use it with the OEX Sola-X cookset. I get boil times with this combination that’s almost as good as my jetboil flash. Great little set up for not a lot of money at under £40.
I have a slightly larger Ohuhu stove that didn’t give me a single problem over a year’s worth of use in cold and rain. It has an ignition switch and will support using a heavier pan/pot if you want. Pack size is about 3.5” square and is dual fuel compatible with adapters.
When I was a lad back in the energy shortages of the early 1970s there was a public information film that said only to heat the bottom of the pan as any flames going up the side are basically wasted. That is probably why your Vango stove has been designed to point to the middle of the base so that the heat spreads across the bottom. The Vango is on sale on Amazon at £12:80. That said, the OEX looks like a really powerful stove for the price and is quicker than the Vango which claims 4 minutes to boil a litre. The wider flame might be better for frying your bacon & eggs or steak faster and more evenly which is worth bearing in mind.
Learning from your experience and my own time camping out with other products, it seems that OEX is a good way to go to get started and to go on with for quite a while. This stove, very similar to other brands I have seen demonstrated, does the job well. Older campers will nod their heads as you mention changes in power due to the level of gas in a canister. Outside temperatures make a big difference in performance. I was so surprised the first season when I moved from summer into late autumn tenting: things took 'forever' to cook.
1st like and comment 😎👍that's a fierce little stove. Looks really good for the price. I buy mine from local carboot but would definitely look at buying this. I still think a video of a homemade mre would be good to watch
Funny that you should be doing this one. I have an MSR pocket rocket, but was earlier today looking at a version on Wish for £5.95 including an inbuilt push button igniter. I figured that it was worth a punt, just to see how good or bad that it was.
The narrow footprint stoves are so easy to knock over I worry about boiling water up so high . If it’s outside yes they are good but not inside a tent.
So basically, in case you want to boil half a liter of water. What is the consumption of gas? 1. run the gas cooker at maximum. 2. does the gas cooker run at a little under half? If time has no meaning, the gas and the burner are the same, the cup is the same, the water has the same temperature from the start and the air and weather conditions are the same. Which method is more economical? Gas costs so much... Greetings from the south coast of Finland. All the best Dan!
Is it me..or...? I always have got the idea that the power stoves drain the cannisters way quicker than a 'normal' stove 🤔 could you shine your light on that one too🧐💞
Can you use those larger gas cannisters for this one, ie the ones you use in a normal camping stove, I only see people use the smaller ones like what you have
Hey man what is your other channel. Ik you said it in a video one time but I can never remember it or find it. You should put it in the description here on your main channel.
@@englishwoodsman oh now I remember that video, ig I assumed you would get it back. Sorry to hear that. These tech companies are ridiculous, It's not even like the names were identical.
I have been curious about these, and the pot set up too in comparison to something like a Jet Boil... If you buy the pot, gas, canister stand and (as I do) throw in a spork & lighter, what is the overall weight? I assume the Jetboil (say minimo) and similar products will be heavier with the wind guard heat eliment design, but by how much? And then there is the trade-off between gas usage and having to carry a wind sheild?
I can personally say from experience, I've had the MSR pocket rocket which was too expensive for what it is. I've had an OEX tacana which was okay ish. And I've had a couple other small stoves like the one in the video. The combination of all with these smaller stoves is a bit annoying at times. I didn't want to spend so much on a jetboil, but after 6 years using other stoves I got a jetboil zip for my first one just to see what they're like. I can tell you, the weight is nothing at all. You won't notice the difference when you include the gas etc. The design of the jetboil is what makes it so good. It'll boil sometimes in just over 1:30 (depending how much liquid). It's designed to store everything inside the pot, so gas, stove and stove stand all fit inside the jetboil and doesn't rattle. The heat sync on the bottom allows it to heat very fast, I've burnt porridge in mine a couple of times not expecting it to heat up that fast. The shroud around the base for the wind guard etc as you mention doesn't make much difference. I'd say my jetboil is more convenient, slightly lighter weight than what I've used in the past, and I'd highly recommend them. There's not really any trade off. The jetboil ticks all boxes for me personally. (I've been using mess tins in the army, my own smaller stoves etc, and nothing has came close to the convenience of a jetboil) Honest review from someone who thought the jetboil was an overpriced gimmick for years. MSR pocket rocket has now taken that title for me
@@swiftyblueredblue715 Nice one cheers! I have the Firemaple x1 and can fit everything I need in there, it's my go to compact stove (I have other options). Just curious if there is a cheaper & lighter options or upgrade?
@@MINKIN2 No dramas. I'd say if you were looking for cheaper, you're probably good with the X1 to be fair. The jetboil is double the price, but the only advantages may be the weight of the jetboil and the speed. If you're more leaning to price, I'd just keep as you are I'd you're happy mate
imagine if you didnt want you data harvested asnd went paying double price for everything in go outdoors hate the shop hate monopolies hate that they get shilled by this dude its go outdoors homebrand they are damaging the camping industry its like amazon ~restrict access and then make a cheaper homebrand version killing the country avoid OEX ike the plague, go for real companies
Hi Dan, this is a good review. I've been contemplating a change to my cheapo amazon stove and you showed the practicalities and what you've seen with experience with this one together with that actual test in heating water. Very much appreciated!
I have 2 of these etna stoves
I was so impressed with the first one I bought I got a second as a spare .
I use them over a titanium pot and it boils water very fast and efficiently.
Also it's very compact so fits in my brew kit easily .Big recommend from me .
Great stove for the price can even use your ferro rod to light it.All the very best pal 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴

Good little stove for beginners Dan really informative dan keep them coming
Hi mate 👍
I love it. Fantastic bit of kit. Cheer's 👍👍👍
Ay up Dan. Another good, honest, unbiased review from something you bought yourself and were not given 👍🙂
I think it's a great stove! I cooked an 18oz steak in my frying pan on it. Perfect and took the same amount of time as on my cooker
Cheers Dan, the amount of content you put out is amazing, nice little review, I bet you could even make a box of matches sound interesting .Well done mate. Pushing 55k subs 👍
Excellent review again Dan you always see it has it is
I've got that one Dan and it's good for a boil up and fits in my Stanley set perfectly.
Bought mine last week love the little thing only cost just over a tenner
Kombat UK do a great little stove for £12.00. I bought one at the start of the year,and have used it on mountains,in woods all over. Never failed to preform as well as other more expensive stoves.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

Coincidentally I'm watching one of your vids now on my TV (2019 setting out your trail cameras) saw this and paused my TV and now on my phone lol. I'd just watched your recent video in the woods with the hot tent. All great, keep them coming 👍

You’re so lucky to have OEX products!
You not from the UK?

agreed flames up the side equals waste of gas (also a lad in the 70's )

Good stove Great for the price Dan, that's stove is on my Christmas list thanks Dan 👍
Nice little stove for the money, looks like the Soto Windmaster or the Pocket Rocket Deluxe. Certainly one to consider for any occasion. 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice stove Dan.
On the whole OEX stuff is excellent value for money. This is tempting although I have too many stoves (perhaps) 😆
Got a similar one from Vango and it’s a cracking little stove. I now use it with my OEX Tacana Stove pot as the burner from the Tacan is buggered
Thankyou for watching
Nice informative video Dan thanks for sharing 👍
Loving the beard Danny boy😇
Hey Dan big hello from scotland
I’ve got loads of stoves, it’s a bit of a fetish but the best one I’ve ever owed is the Soto Windmaster.
Great video thanks mate 👍👍
Don’t forget the cold reduces performance…..
My missus added that.
Dan's face in the thumbnail 👍

Hi just today I bought the forclaz mt 100 from decathlon
Dan,Would like to see a review on Camping Gaz Bluet Stoves/opinion of them they have been around for 30 odd years
Hello Friend 😊 Watching Here Beautiful Vlog Awsome Nice Sharing 👌 Greetings From Switzerland I Hope to See You Around Friend
Cracking stove to take on a walk if you just need a brew or some soup at half way.
Is it me..or...? I always have got the idea that the power stoves drain the cannisters way quicker than a 'normal' stove 🤔 could you shine your light on that one too🧐💞
£8.50 at the moment at Go Outdoors @member price & 15% off Sale. WoW.
Good video Dan😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thankyou ivan
My mate calls his the Falcon 9
Why
My reply was hidden for some reason 🤷 it's a SpaceX rocket
Nothing wrong with getting a bang for your buck!
Can you use those larger gas cannisters for this one, ie the ones you use in a normal camping stove, I only see people use the smaller ones like what you have
These types of stoves are great but they take damage easily in your bag.. in on my 2nd due to random damage
Is there a camp heater or stove that you can recommend for stealth city camping? I don't want to put out a lot of tattle- tale smoke!
next time weigh the cylinder before and after ? lets see the gas consumption of various stoves
I use a Vango folding stove, it sits low to the ground.
where u from bruh? You speak English funny.
It's it really only 7g? Seems improbable

I'm not keen on the gas now, rather use bioethinol at least I know how much fuel I've got left and I like peace 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 atb Daz

16 quid , If it boils your water that's all that matters.
yeah but only good for builing water, try frying an egg in a thin bottomed pan.
I have a idea mate a massive stove show and cooking challenge
The need for fires is less in the winter? Are u serious?
Don’t think I’ve seen u process wood other than snapping sticks anyway
it states it weighs only 7 grams, I wonder do they mean 70 grams 🤔
I will get back to you about that mate
imagine if you didnt want you data harvested asnd went paying double price for everything in go outdoors
hate the shop
hate monopolies
hate that they get shilled by this dude
its go outdoors homebrand they are damaging the camping industry
its like amazon
~restrict access and then make a cheaper homebrand version
killing the country
avoid OEX ike the plague, go for real companies
Dangerous and loud as f... Soto Wind master much better so pay once and use with pleasure.
Can you unscrew the gas when not using it? Or just leave it connected to the burner all together as it is?
Hi Dan, this is a good review. I've been contemplating a change to my cheapo amazon stove and you showed the practicalities and what you've seen with experience with this one together with that actual test in heating water. Very much appreciated!
Brs 3000,fits in the palm of your hand,tiny thing,£8 bargain!
Never let me down
A lot more than that now for a proper BRS
