🔥 testing the LOFI stove, at over 3000 m in the Swiss Alps while visiting the Britannia hut with the AMBSAC. In July, I was lucky enough to be invited to the Britannia hut as a member of the ABMSAC, who had recently paid for the installation of a new, highly efficient, woodburning stove to help heat the hut over the winter months. What a fantastic opportunity to test out the LOFI Stove at over ...

This is just a quick video showing how I use the LOFI Stove to cook up a delicious red curry*, using driftwood and tinder I found on my walk along the beach. The LOFI stove is a lightweight camping stove, designed to burn wood and other biofuels while out walking and hiking. It will be available on Kickstarter in the next week, sign up to LOFI.com for more details of the launch 🚀 Ingredients fo...
🔥 LOFI Wood Stove - no more gas!
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.2 года назад
I've designed a new camp stove, and it uses wood not gas!! It's wind-proof, fully adjustable, it won't scorch the ground and it weighs less than a can of gas... 🚀 In my other videos I show how it will boil a litre of water in just over 4 minutes!!
🔥 How efficient is the LOFI wood burning stove?
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.2 года назад
I do I little bit of science to calculate the efficiency of the LOFI wood stove. Burning a packet of Maggi noodles, I get an impressive 30% efficiency! That’s over 75% as efficient as a gas hob burning in a domestic kitchen 🙌

Burning wood is not carbon neutral. What you are doing is sell sell sell.
I have both the Biolite and Lofi. I prefer the Biolite with my triangle top add on to balance heavier cast iron pans or to keep lighter pans higher off the flame. Fire charging the battery is another benefit. In over 4 years, I haven't had to charge the Biolite battery at all. Constant refueling of the Lofi while lifting the pot off gets annoying especially in colder environments.
What great about square and rectangle cook pots is you have a lot less spillage thanks to the help of the corners when draining your pot.
Using oily chips like potato chips will start your fire up again.
Lots of fuel means nothing when your heavy battery runs out.
Hi Jonny, It's a neat stove, but I think that the price is double what it should be. With things costing as much as they are, even 1/2 would be hard but dooable. Good Luck, Cheers, S
😂
Willbe more simple if PB & Trimer also buildon the stove below the minifan. Folding stan also needed at the botom for stove & on the top for mug
Hey thanks for the comment, what do you mean by PB & Trimer?
@@JonnyLOFI PB mean Power Bank, and the Trimer is Current adjuster
$150+, not cheap.
Thanks for the comment, Yes, it's an expensive thing for me to make. Costly materials and years of development.
Can you use with a heat exchange pot and if so that should increase efficiency
Thanks, I'll have to try that :)
Brilliant design. Would this not be considered carbon negative?
Impressive....wonder if its available in South Africa. Only just learning about rocket stoves, dutch ovens, hobo stoves and out of the blue, a stove with bio-fuels AND technology ... this LOFI!
Btw.... my stove works like a charm. only one major issue: as soon as i put on my pot it starts smoking like crazy. doesn`t matter if it has just started or is in full swing. i had a potcross from another stove that fixes the issue but should it not work without? what do i miss?
What is the life expectancy of this stove?
Great ideas for stove, nesting pots and these lunch box's. I have just bought the stove and it will be coming out with me at the weekend into the Peak District, I have no doubts of it's performance, after road testing it I'll more than likely grab the rest to compliment it, thanks for the time and effort that's gone into the eventual production.
Unfortunately fire bans most summers
Hi, Yeah i'm not sure that this would be allowed in fire ban areas. It's certainly safer than an open fire though. Jonny
dumb question - but what's the easiest way to light it?
kindly test with charcoal pallets
Great idea, it's something I'm working on. Charcoal has a higher heat density than wood 🔥
Sorry but it's over engineering. A Trangia alcohol burner is my choice or a firebox if desperate. I'll allow people to come to their own conclusions about the practicalities of using this.
Thanks - yeah, there's a lot of engineering in this one. I've enjoyed making it, and others seem to find it fun too :) Nothing beats the simplicity of a Trangia though, or a simple twig burning box. Jonny
Why wouldn’t you put a small hole in the side so you could stoke it and add sticks without taking the pot off the top??
Hey Timmo, I chose not to do that, as the burn chamber is pressurised slightly by the fan. This would mean that the sparks and embers would be forced out of the opening. Lifting the pot works for me, and then when it's back on top I know it is sealed an no embers can escape. 🔥 Jonny
welsh coffee
Really like the look of this Jonny. One of my friends linked me to it. How are you doing with exposure? Going high street? ATB Confessed Stoveaholic fellmandave.
Hi Dave, I’m starting small with this, as I learn. There isn’t enough mark up to take it to the high street, son I’m selling through my web shop - LOFI.com
hmm, you need fuel and battery, boilng time is a little bit longer than spirit stove, price is high. Not usefuk stuff.
Hey thanks for the feedback. Have you seen my book time video? It shows that the LOFI can boil faster than an alcohol stove.
Pretty cool!
Thanks starling :)
More people should know about this stove! It's basically an ultralight/backpacking friendly biolite.. and many people love the biolite! I also love the rectangular lunch boxes that you show in another video. I wish you all the luck and success :) You bet I'll be buying some of your stuff once I have enough disposable income haha
Thanks so much! Yeah it’s such a lightweight stove. I need to work on my marketing skills 🔥 I’m just a small one-man business ☺️
I can’t wait! Your craftsmanship has been outstanding.
Thanks Jan!
Only issue with titanium is the fact it doesn't distribute heat very well at all, as such, it gets hot right at the spot a flame hits it, but is relatively cool (in comparison) elsewhere along the bottom of the cooking vessel. What this means is that it burns any food (or even sauce) that is right above the flame area, and you're relying on the watery nature of the sauce to distribute the heat rather than the bottom of the cooking vessel. You absolutely cannot cook an egg or even bacon over titanium without copious amounts of oil to prevent the food sticking/burning onto the titanium, and this means you have to take extra weight in cooking oil or butter to cook without the scorching issue. The same issue exists for stainless steel and uncoated aluminium. I've found that the only mess tins which don't have a burning/sticking issue are the speckled black mess tins that are Teflon coated which are sold on AliExpress, as no other retailer sells them.
Thanks Funkteon, Yes - you have to keep things moving to avoid burning. This is true with all titanium pots. I’ll check out the black coated ones, I’ve not seen those before. Thanks for the comment ☺️
@@JonnyLOFI Or take a page out of the Firebox book and develop a cooking stone... that's how they they solved that problem with the BoxPot, which resembles your lunchbox, only it's made of steel and doesn't have a seal.
@@rakeshmalik5385 ah yes, that looks like a great solution. Though a little heavy for the camping I like to do 🏕️
@@JonnyLOFI Can't argue with that logic :) I'm sure I'll find a way to make use of the lunchbox for cooking anyway. My only disappointment is that I probably won't get a chance to use it with the LoFi stove before the fire bans hit this year 😑 We already have our first BC wildfire and it's already out of control. Alkie stove maybe... or gas. Sigh.
just dont understand why you didnt make these nesting
Hi Dan, the sizes just worked out that way. There’s not often a need for nesting except in the cupboard at home?
Great Idea Jonny! It's brilliant in it's simplicity. This kind of pot is widely used among japanese outdoorsmen. Some kits include a wooden cutting board as a lid which is far less useful than a metal one. With a metal lid you can use it as a little plate, or as a grill. Most of the oriental versions also have a steaming tray, which is very useful if you do steam you food like I do, but also great for baking! That's right, baking food in the backcountry. The tray essentially turns the lunchbox into an oven. You can either dry or steam bake with such a configuration. Though for any for this to happen the rubber/silicone seal has to be removable. The price is not bad, at least as an early bird - which explains why it's already reached the kickstarter goal within 6 hours of the video going up LOL Excited for the new stove! keep teasing us with info :p
Looks great!

Hey there! Loving my two Lofi stoves - consistently good results with several different fuels. Quick question: have you tried burning ethanol / methanol in the Lofi as a backup? I’m curious if that would work in an emergency…
Im glad you’re enjoying the LOFI stoves, they’re fun, aren’t they! have tried a Trangia type stove placed inside - it burn a little faster. Have a play :)
Congratulations! I am enjoying my LOFI stove very much. It’s fun learning how much fuel I need to boil a kettle of water. I like to bundle up and make tea in the snow. Calm good fun. I’m so happy for you. May you enjoy lots of success this coming year.
Thanks SO much Jan, this is lovely to read. I’m glad you’re having fun, it’s such a good way to cook huh 🔥
@@JonnyLOFI Hey, the coffee cup, storage containers and extra fan arrived today. What wonderful creations. The coffee cup is the perfect size for trail coffee. I am truly impressed with the craftsmanship and utility of these items. I am so happy I purchased them as they are perfect additions to your wonderful stove.
Thanks so much @@janmariolle 😃
yes it’s brilliant and really easy . I carry it in my bag to make tea, fab!
Thanks Aron, I’m glad it’s working out well for you 🙌 such a fun way to brew a tea
Hey peepoo
love how it's storage efficient.. might look into that
I’ve used this setup on long distance hikes and it’s awesome
Awesome! :D
My solar panel is kinda weak. How much power does it need to be powered up?
Probably at least 3V, so a quality (not AliExpress junk) solar panel the size of an A4 sheet of paper should do the job.
well shid... aliexpress junk's exactly what I've got lol@@Funkteon
Just now seeing this , and love it ! I have a coffee RUclips channel that is gaining momentum and was wondering if you would be interested in collaboration/sponsorship ?
Cool now i can be USA manufacturing branch. Hit me up.
Congrats!
I love the idea. You are a dun genius !!!
Thanks! ^_^
Just two words: Novelty Stove.
I can’t wait for my stove to arrive!
Cat Poop from Korat burns well
Or Nose Implants from Pinocchio
Jonny, do you have the numbers for actual current draw at min and max? Asking to understand whether a power bank needs to have “low current” capability. Thanks!
I’ve been interested in this stove since it was first announced. I just bought one today. What an exciting idea!❤
Thanks so much! I've been working so hard on this project, it's really exciting to be getting these orders ^_^
@@JonnyLOFI I don’t know if you remember The Back Country Boiler which came out almost eleven years ago, I could not afford one at the time and I missed my chance. I am impressed by the efficiency of your creation and don’t want to miss my opportunity. I can see taking your stove on a thru hike.
Ah yes - that is a great piece of kit - no batteries required! <3 @@janmariolle
Hi Jonny. Good points on using stoves and Leave No Trace. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Mark, I'm looking forward to getting one of these over to Canada for you to enjoy :)
Is this working with Korat Cat Shit toi?
Funny, I don't see any trees around???
Hey, thanks for the comment! In Wales (UK) where this was filmed, the hills have been grazed with sheep for centuries, and the trees have all been all but removed. When hiking above the tree line like this, I use wood pellets as fuel, which I carry with me.
@JonnyLOFI hey, yeah I did not watch far enough in your vidi to see you were using pellets. My bad and I will delete my post if you like.
It's all good :) @@jsEMCsquared
