Nice review. Well done, sir! Question. Are you up for a challenge? While I love upside down fires, and most users of wood gas stoves INSIST these stoves MUST be ignited is this manner I find this to be questionable. Try placing the tender/fire starter in the bottom and load the fuel wood on top. THEN lift the stove and lite it from the bottom. The 'ash pan' (this is the lower chamber of the 'fire box') is filled with holes and is perfect got putting the heat source (FLAME generated from whichever method) next to the tender. Indeed the upside down fire method is all the rage these days. Even the manufactures of these types of wood burning stoves try to entice would be buyers to buy their product by “selling” them on the idea that one may overcome basic fire building skills simply by purchasing their stove. As I said, this is simply a challenge. I dare you to try this method. I submit that it is important to understand the concept of convection and how it relates to fire building. The gentleman in this video demonstrates the idea very nicely. Keep in mind the 'PLATFORM' is built into the stove you are using. th-cam.com/video/Ma6VqwIuI24/w-d-xo.html
Great review. I agree, this is a great combination. I also take the Toaks alcohol siphon stove as a backup and I think this is the premier backpacking cook system. Everything nests in the 750ml pot.
Nice video, thanks. One remark: In my experience the performance of any wood stove decreases dramatically if placed directly on wet / frozen ground. The heat eventually creates steam that gets sucked though the system. A little bit of metal foil beneath the stove solves the problem.
Hello there Your videos are parents, this one from the stove encouraged me to buy it, thank you A question friend, what is the brand of your camping pants, the plaid ones Cheers
Thanks for your great review. I just ordered mine. I had been using a Lixada titanium collapsible stove, but I like the fact that this stove nests inside a 750 ml. pot and weighs about half of the Lixada stove. I will say, the Lixada stove is much larger, but I don't really need that larger size. I could still use this stove with my Toaks 1,600 ml pot, it just will take longer to boil water in such a large pot with it. For me that's not as much of an issue than overall weight. Thanks for your review.
A boil is usually achieved more quickly with a larger, broader pot, since the flame pattern is not concentrated as it would be when using a pressurized gas stove.
Nice video, Brother ! Question, will the 500 ml cup fit inside the 750ml cup/pot ? At the moment, I am carrying my small Toaks stove inside the 500ml Toaks titanium cup (with the lid under the bottom), but wanted to know if I could put my little set up inside the 750ml cup/pot to have both for on the trail. Thank you for any advice.
Thank you! If I reminder right, the 500ml won't fit in the 750ml. They are the same diameter, with the 750 being taller. The small TOAKS stove fits snugly in the 750 pot. Pretty sure both the 500 and 750 ml cups next in the 900ml pot.
They have two versions of the stove. A smaller one for about $40 that fits in the 750 ml pot, and the 450 ml cup will not fit inside this stove. They also have a slightly larger stove for about $55 that will fit inside their 1100 ml pot, and the 450 ml cup will fit in this stove.

"I don't know why I'm showing it; you can't see it" . . . that was funny! Very nice system you have there. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great little stove and well planned out just arrive, light and fill with snow, great stuff.

Do you know how many ounces of wood pallets lets you used to fill your stove with, just below the gasified ports? Can you let use know...
Thanks for the review! Do you think we can fit the 450ml Toaks cup inside the Toaks stove?
They have two versions of the stove. A smaller one for about $40 that fits in the 750 ml pot, and the 450 ml cup will not fit inside this stove. They also have a slightly larger stove for about $55 that will fit inside their 1100 ml pot, and the 450 ml cup will fit in this stove.
Thank u
Is this better than building a small fire between two rocks?
Only if you want to burn 4 5 buck's.
It is a good idea to burn your stoves a few times before making videos of them...
ive made loads of stoves and gave them away dont do it any more
