I've tested them all and this one is on the top of the heap. They all have differences like weight they can support, efficiency, parts etc. Simple, burns good and hot, and cleans up easily.
+Living Survival If you had to choose, which would be second?
Black Owl Outdoors SO many good ones out there. For a simple woodburning stove I would choose the 180 tack. For a strong buy heavy stove the Firebox. For a gasifier the silver fire scout and then solo stove.
+Living Survival Which would you suggest for wet wood? Because I live in tropical rain forest country. Currently I'm torn between the Solo Stove Titan and Firebox 5"
Firdaus Aziz the solo stove will be harder with wet wood.
Living Survival Thanks man. Really appreciate that info. I was assuming the FireBox would be harder. Lucky I haven't finalised my order :)
I love this stove. I was shopping at Cabelas and was happy to see they sell these for about $40. Great design and simple easy to assemble. Now my favorite outdoor backpacking stove. Works great with canteen cup, tea kettle, nesting mugs and steel water bottles. It's awesome just to make a quick small fire to stay warm just using twigs. Wish I invented it!
What I love about the original, is that it’s big enough that you can enjoy it like a mini camp fire. It’s a great stove. I’d stay with this over the smaller versions. The weight is negligible when you spend a lot on super light tents, bags, pads, ect. Save the weight there to be able to carry a heavier luxury like this little gem.
One trick is to hold the stricker still and pull the firesteel toward yourself, then the kindling wont get accidentally pushed away by the stricker.
meant to say tinder not kindling
what the heck it a stricker?
@@jacobpoucher Striker, misspelt.
I use the FireBox stove. It works really well. Has plenty of ventilation. I've used it for a year now. I love it.
I've been having fun with my folding Element Stove from Tato. It is similar in design and size to the Emberlit. Thanks for the video. Dane.
+featheredprop Never heard of them. I'll check 'em out.
constantly amazed at the quality of the videos.
I have an Uberleven stove, it is almost identical to the Embelit with the exception that the bottom of the stove has a grate in it instead of the solid piece and the hole for feeding wood through is round and a bigger diameter than the Emberlit, it seems to have good airflow and I think that helps alleviate a lot of smoke unless I use a lot of high resin wood such as pine, great video enjoy your tea and your stove, love your channel!
Your videos are some of the best ... so easy to watch, great camerawork and very informative. I use the Bushbox and find the warping to be minimal compared with the Emberlit, but the result is exactly the same -- hot tea! Keep up the great work!
Love your vids guys.. keep them coming and thanks for your time :)
Nice stove, great video. I have the Vargo Titanium and it's a pretty sweet little stove as well!
At 6:00, "where did I leave that Bic lighter again?" Cool stove, great video as usual. Thanks!
+Neversink Outdoors Ha yea. Just shows what happens when you don't fully prepare. YOU STRUGGLE
I DO like that MSR Stowaway pot! Great piece of equipment.
Great video guys, all the best
Kurt
thanks for the excellent review.
Good video...and there is something very calming and enjoyable about kicking back in the forest on a cool Autumn day, while making a fire, and enjoying a warm drink, or a nice bowl of hearty soup, prepared on your Emberlit stove.
I can just about taste it now!
Essentially a good way to clear one's mind of all of the daily clutter!
The stove looks simple yet effective, and I think that they make a titanium version too.
I'm going to look into some of these wood stoves that fold flat, and are lightweight.
Thanks and have a good Thanksgiving!
+Msilverhammer Well said.
Great video. Keep them coming
Great stove!
Very good, Thank you very much
I always put on the cross piece first, it just makes it easier and much more stable. Reduces the warping also.
Ive been looking at a lot of different stoves like this. It is hard to decide which one to buy... Thanks for the review :)
- Martin
Any of them will work. I got the Lixada Titanium version for £15.
Been using the FoldingFirebox 5" version some. A bit to heavy for backpacking. The Littlbug Jr stove is more suitable for that. Very neat. Also been using the Firebox Nano stove (3"), small and easy to carry, but you will spend time breaking and piling up smaller twigs for that when burning wood. Works good as stand/windscreen for an alcohol burner (Evernew and Trangia or similar size)
Good to know.
been looking at this stove last month i want one
stuart
The toaks titanium backpacking stove is great. Granted it's not a folding stove but maybe that would be something you would be interested. It's small and lightweight and lacks very easily.
I have this same stove, I think it's great. Used it a couple of times and really have no qualms with it. MerkWares also have cool firesteel designs. I went primitive fire making a couple of times with charcloth, good times.
+jeffrey kuhn Good times for sure.
Cool Vid, thumbs up!
Folding firebox FTW!
On the best piece of equipment I use is a pair of long handled pruning shears. The wood used in the stove requires a lot of finger sized pieces of wood.
Compared to saws and axes and hard knife work the shears save your tendons and are quiet and very efficient
keep it simple, works for me.
سپاسگزارم جالب بود
Thanks very interesting
good review of this stove. Do you think you could review the four dog bushcooker stove?
Thanks for this--it was a peaceful video-I live near Boston area. Am I gonna see any eastern Hemlock around here?
I have just about every folding stove on the market and I keep this one in my pack more often than the rest. It's a bombproof piece of kit.
What knife are you carrying?
Does it generate enough heat just to keep warm with like a regular camp fire?
have you reviewed the solo stove
What is that shirt youre wearing! I love it
I'm digging that coat that you're wearing. Where can I get one of those?
i love your jacket! its so special! the material, the leather details, the cut. where did you get it?
What do you think about the Firebox stove?
If this was used on a wood picnic table would it scorch the table?
Is there a way to remove the stains from oxidation or is it permanent ?
Did you modify your stove? My does not have the cut outs your has for the cross bars.
What knife is that on your hip?
I'm a huge follower of your channel and love all you videos. I'm sure you are aware of the bob dustrude quick buck saw. I was hoping to see your thought and opinions on that saw.
+Cutting Edge Lawn Care Yes I'm aware of it but have never used it. Stay tuned..
What are you kneeling on?
About how long did it take you to get to a boil?
some holes drilled in the side will do it great for airflow.
enjoying life
I'd drill a few holes in the bottem plate to let some air through and have the feed hole a little bit higher up the side
Way late to the video but I jus bought this stove seems to be an decent stove was little disappointed in that cheap bag it's in for $45, I probably gonna find a waxed canvas bag to replace it, haven't used it yet but I'm happy with its build
Is there a grill plate?
That's a cool pullover jacket. What is the name? Or where did you get it? Thanks, enjoyed the video.
littlebug junior :) not quite as collapsible but you wont get airflow restriction and only weights in at 5 oz..
How does one obtain a kuskia
Looks like a great little stow. The mat you are sitting on, is it something you have made yourself?
+OutdoorsFoodie Yep it is. We did a video on it not too long ago.
What is the brand of that hoodie
cool
its good , i recommend you to mesh the bottom plate with 5 mm holes for better results . to rich more oxygen .
perhaps using the pot supports, even with a larger pot like the msr, would raise it off the top of the chimney just enough to improve airflow and reduce the smoke and soot. i have this stove and IMHO, its a great one. take care.
+irishedawg I could try that. The supports are meant to lock in place and sit flush with the top of the stove. But in theory I could just rest them on top as that would life the pot.
No, you're absolutely right. They are meant to lock into the corners, BUT, keep in mind, this stove wasn't necessarily designed for larger pots, more so for canteen cups, gsi glacier cups, etc... leaving much more space around the top of the chimney. For larger pots, a bit of MacGyverism might be needed. Still a great stove for what it's designed for. Thank you so much for replying back!
The similarly sized Lixada/Overmont/Tomshoo clone stoves burn better than the original Emberlit stove, thanks to improved air circulation.
Does the toxic fumes smell go away ?
What kind of jacket/hoodie is that you are wearing in the video?
I made it.
@Black Owl Outdoors - What is the sweater you're wearing in this video?
+Hotcakes and Franks I made it.
What size pot was that? Was it the 1L or the 1.5L MSR?
Neither. Ha. 775ml MSR. We did a video on it a long time ago.
I would like to know,where did you get the wool green pull over you have on at?
I actually made it!
+Black Owl Outdoors That's good!
This stove is collapsible; it does not fold. Assembly is easier if you turn the 3 pieces upside down to install the plate. That way your hands don't obscure what you're doing. Turn upright to finish. Install the supports first. Light from the bottom and use supports to lean twigs against in an inverted teepee style. They'll burn down quick into coals. Now feed the larger stuff into the bottom. Done this way, you'll maximize heat output with a minimum of fuel and smoke. Pine cones are great for getting things going; they burn hot and quick.
Just for reference, what size pot is that?
+DJ Odom 775 ml
can someone recommend the best strike fire starter to order or buy in stores?
+Joe Urban The striker or the rod?
+Black Owl Outdoors do they come in combination with eachother? i'm trying to prepare a disaster readiness pack but am new to this.
Just got the titanium will keep you posted. Later turtle :)
+TheHannibalSmith A-Team Cool. We've been thinking about getting that version as well!
is the rusty? or is it the heat that made it that color?
Evan Nunez
Heat
Could you make a camping video? That would be interesting
+Hideo Master We plan to.
Those pants and pull over are Bomber. What brands and where did you get them?
+Donny Zarra Pants are Fjallraven. I made the pullover.
Was the pullover inspired by something? I've been trying to find this heavy duty fleece jacket I once saw and it looks a lot like that one. Not a major brand and I think they're handmade. Thanks
looks exactly like the Lixada
Never made tea from hemlock, but if it's anything like fir or pine, I'd probably love it.
I'd love to really inprove my tree and plant ID skills for 2016.
+Raindance Bushcraft Yep tastes very similar. You have any plans for the forest coming up?
i thought hemlock was poisonous somthing like witches brew
I have an Emberlit/Fireant they are pretty good, I haven't really had any issues with using them. A month or so ago I discovered that www.fireboxstove.com/ just came out with a new G2 version. I have one that I picked up through their kickstarter that should be on its way any day now. Looking at all the youtube videos they have it seems like it has a lot of options and different ways to cook with. I am not sure if you have heard about fireboxstove or not, but something to check out.
What wood is best for making curls or easy to make fether sticks with
+Nick Dempsey And co Soft woods work well. Pine, tulip tree, etc. Do you know of any soft woods around you?
+Black Owl Outdoors pin don't know about tulips in Australia
+Black Owl Outdoors I ment pine
+Black Owl Outdoors maybe gum tree mite work or eucalyptus
+Nick Dempsey And co I don't really know much about Australian woods. Maybe look for some TH-camrs who are from Australia and ask them? Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Hey Krik I have not tested them all but I've found that the ones with holes around the bottom don't work as well as the ones that have the holes in the bottom. I have one now that has no holes around the sides and it's a foldable one piece. I found that the ones that have these holes have no or very little draw when a pot is sat on it. Anyway that's just me other people will have different views I'm sure. That's why we don't all drive Fords. Love your videos keep them coming. Thanks.
This type of put together stove is no good for me.In Canada in the winter you really don't want a stove that you have to take your gloves off and fiddle with.A stove like a wild wood stove or solo stove that is already assembled is much better.
What's the story about your hat?
+Richard Johnson Story?
I think it's funny that there are "thumbs down", because your video quality is awesome, great info thanks
+Exploration Thanks.
they should make a larger one
+camping hunter Why is that?
+Black Owl Outdoors what do u mean like why my username is that
Needs a fire grate
Can you giveaway one of those please
What size MSR pot is that? Thanks.
That kind of "tab A into slot B" stove is only good when you have the luxury of an abundance of small motor skills on a warm day. Put yourself into a cold Michigan winter with bare hands ( because you're not going to assemble this with gloves on) and you have a recipe for failure! One of those box stoves in which the sides all hinged together might be a better option for that brutal scenario.
This stove is pretty easy to assemble with gloves on.
I actually have a review on the emberlit on my channel th-cam.com/video/2A8AqTlligo/w-d-xo.html. I also just posted an initial review of the firebox gen 2 th-cam.com/video/xLdCi15Lj6k/w-d-xo.html and I feel it is a much better design, much heavier and different in a few other aspects but overall a better stove in my opinion but they are different class folding stoves so to speak because of the weight and size differences. The main problem with the emberlit for me was the ventilation ports clogging on longer burns (you can see me clearing them with a stick in the video) (excuse the poor video quality of my earlier video) I found the emberlit did fine for smaller cooking for just me but I'm often with friends or my family and larger meals can be more difficult. The firebox has plenty of ventilation while still protecting the flame from the wind. It has no problems I've seen yet on longer burns either But, I've only had it for a little while. I'm not trying to channel promote either I promise I just happened to have videos on this particular subject this time!
The msp core stoves from mysurvivalpack.com is a series of pack flat biogas stoves that tend to smoke less.
Should've mortar & pestled the hemlock...
The Lixada wood stove is both much easier to setup and the bottom has holes, permitting a better air flow. And it's half the price of the Emberlit. The only thing it doesn't have is the cross for smaller pots but you can easily fabricate one or use two pieces of solid wire. You should definitely drill holes in that bottom.
The original was the Little Dandy. But you had to make that yourself. :-)
Yes I agree with you. Putting a pot on top of the emberlit stove restricts air flow... big time!! Then you lose lots of heat. You have to really feed and watch this stove a lot. The Solo stove is better and much more efficient. You don't even have to blow air into the solo stove, with the emberlit is like taking care of a baby you have to constantly watch it. In conclusion the Emberlit is not all that great. Solo stove still wins.
You are getting smoke because there are no vent holes in the bottom plate.
Good luck with noise discipline.
Why do I feel like you made this video only a few feet from your home?
I wish the forest was only a few feet from my apartment
Seems it stainness steel, not stainless
I've seen your videos up on TH-cam for years. I've watched several of them over that span of time. I have to ask... what is the deal with calling your audience turtles? I don't get it.
Throwback to TMNT
seeyup.
love this stove. though I typically will carry a small canister and inexpensive Pocket Rocket knock off as a backup for when you just can't be bothered in wet conditions. I rarely need it however the more comfortable I have gotten with managing my wood fuel for the Emberlite. thx for the vid.
Did you say "hey whats up turtles" at the beginning?
Muu
