- Preparedmind101 takes a first use look at the Emberlit Stove...and is blown away. I mean...I always heard it was good, but after using it i would have to say I think it is OUTSTANDING and a MUST OWN piece of kit. Now planning on getting the Ti version. But I digress...
The Emberlit Stove is a simple, well designed, lightweight packable wood burning stove that is just EASY to use. Not only a camp cooking option, it is something that could just save your life by making a hot fire easier to build and maintain with more efficient use of less fuel. Starting at $39, it's a no-brainer.
WHERE TO BUY:
You can get either model through the Preparedmind101 Amazon Store and support the channel HERE: astore.amazon.c...

Diagonal Cross bars go on the corner edges. Good review. Added to list of stuff to get. Titanium version weighs 6oz. Stainless steel is 11.3 oz.
I probably should have figured that out before I had a raging fire. Thanks.
I love how down to earth you are so thank you for being real. bubba
I bought 1 made bye obenlen its gorgeous!!! It does have a waxed canvas Bagan amuck larger inlet !!! I have seen these made bye atheist 10 differant Company's
It is fatastic!!!! Thank Tim
Hey Chris if you use a few drops of dish soap and rub it over the out side of your pot or cup before cooking with it over open flame the soot will wipe right off. That will save the time and sand paper.
Good tip!
Also a little bit of rubbing alcohol will take the soot off very fast if you forget to put soap on it first.
Jon Breeden Stainless steel scrubbing pad. reusable and lasts forever. just splas on some water, cold or hot.
Got the water for coffee, now all you need is a small pan and some bacon and eggs. :) I do like the way you do your first use videos.
Another great video, Chris! Just for clarification, the titanium version isn't just a few bucks more... it's almost double the cost of the stainless version. But it's about half the weight. Also, no matter how sootie the box gets, when the embers burn down to red hot coals, the soot burns off quickly. It's almost self cleaning. Unfortunately, the pans and kettles have to be cleaned the old fashioned way. I can't believe I haven't subscribed until today. Oh well... we'll take care of that right now. Cheers. --Scott
Hey Chris, loved the comparison of stoves you did! I'm going to give my opinion on the "Big 3". Firebox 5", Emberlit and the Bushbox XL because they all are similar in size and use wood as the primary fuel source.
The Bushbox XL is obviously the Cadillac of the stoves but also comes with a hefty price tag. I like that it's a tick larger than the other two, really quick and easy set up and I like the grill-top that it comes with. If you have the cash, I think this is the one to get even though it's a bit larger and heavier than the other two.
The Firebox and the Emberlit pretty much go head to head in size and ease of use. I'm definitely leaning towards the Emberlit for one major reason. While the firebox is attached and folds out (which is nice), I actually like that the Emberlit comes completely apart. People seem to grip that the Emberlit is hard to put together but please. It might take a minute or two longer then the firebox but once you do it a time or two I'm sure you could cut this time in half. Putting these together isn't rocket science.
The main reason I would choose the Emberlit over the firebox is because it DOES comes completely apart and I think this would make a world of difference when it came to cleaning it because you simply have multiple flat pieces instead of reaching into a box and reaching the cracks and corners.
I'd like to see a video on how you clean your stoves, canteens and cookware (if you haven't).
Great videos on all 3, but for my money I'm going with the Emberlit! You could almost get the Titanium and the stainless for the same price as the Bushbox XL! Keep up the good work!
+derrik tribble I, mostly, agree. Simplicity and efficiency of the Emberlit won it for me. Ten minutes out of the box and, with my Leatherman and a wire coat hanger, this stove mastered my alcohol burner. Another five minutes and a small scrap of metal later and it was boiling a cup of water with a fuel tablet. My latest mod was to take my tin snips to a piece of stainless steel steamer tray and make a bottom plate that charcoal briquettes kick ass on. As for personal tastes, while you may dig the Cadillac, I'm more of a VW Bug guy. My other multi-fuel stove is the Bushcraft Essentials EDC that fits in an Altoids tin with 6 fuel tabs, a small vial of Vaseline soaked cotton, and a Ferro-rod. HAPPY TRAILS!
Thanks Chris, I wonder how many fires it would take to finally warp or burn through the walls or bottom. I'll try the sandpaper, we always carry those green scratch pads you find in the dish soap aisle they last a long time.
More than 300 fires with local woods in all weather, all year long, so far in my SS EmberLit and still going strong. Boil water, cook stew, fry steak, fry bacon, bake bannock, bake pizza, etc out on the trail. Not bad for $40. As with anything, practice makes perfect.
Should of used a pine cone wouldn't of needed the firebox, this is a great little stove, i use it on my bike tours, I have cooked whole meals on this thing.
Thanks for the video,,,and the subtle humor!
Seems like a cool stove..
Sandpaper... good idea!
Pay the extra money and get the titanium model. The cross bars go in the corners. Makes it more sturdy tha
I think it is pronounced "mick.hale" "mur.curry.eff" ... I don't mind the ads... sometimes I click em cause I know they help you out. Keep up the good work.
If I would have tried I would have screwed it up.
l like the smaller sized ones they seem to hold my trangia a little better on those wet shitty days.
Looks like this would be difficult to put together if you were freezing cold.
dip a piece of kingsford in melted wax and that would be perfect for this
Thanks Chris now I have to go spend more money. Just kidding been thinking about getting one of these
FYI: In many public use areas where they have a ban on open fires, one of these may qualify as a contained fire and therefore be usable. You should always check with the local Ranger or Land Management Office to be sure. I guess you called it Chris, 54 D-Bags pressed the Thumbs Down Button. Considering there have been well over 39k views that's really not so bad!
Which one is better the steel or titanium one
Great piece of kit for areas where you can't build a fire ring and trying to leave no trace.
Must be stove review day ;)-
that's a cool stove but how good is it compared to a fire box
Just got the firebox but not going to even open it out of the box. Way too heavy. I'll be returning it.
Damn Glad I watched your video as I have considered this stove.
However, the Decision to buy a Firebox Nano Titanium has now been solidified in my mind.
Although this stove will do the job for you, I see ZERO advantages over the competition, and it falls short in many ways
That said...being prepared is the goal and if you are happy with your purchase that is all that matters. Thanks for the review
just a modified spin off of the little dandy hobo stove. It goes togethere the same way and works with the same concept. nice video
was that the titanium version or stainless steel version?
Not very good advertising for the live fire if you have to hold an actual flame to it for several seconds to get it to ignite.
Ps .......
Funny to see that with a ferro it took you 3.3 seconds and with a lighter took you 10-1/2 minutes and you say your not a primitive skills guy lol just poking fun bud
nah dude, I can just throw a steel grate over my fire to cook. nice piece of kit tho
Chris, Just wrap some aluminum foil around your cup, pot, or pan. When you are done remove foil and your gear remains nice and clean.
RCVD my Emberlit Ti UL stove this weekend and got it put together the first day correctly ! A wood stove uses one half the fuel of a campfire; thank you for helping save the forest. Also the Ti stove version is half the weight of the steel one. Can use the Emberlit stove as a windscreen for the Snow Peak gas stove. Or burn the solid fuel tablets in the stove. A very good multi-use stove and a big WIN ! Should work great with my Snow Peak Ti pot/cup after I figure how to turn the stove on. Thank you for a great video ! tjl
I love my Emberlit stove (Stainless Steel) I can't stop using it (literally) for everything.

My wife bought me a twig stove made by Uberleven, almost identical to the Embelit except the bottom is vented and the hole for feeding fuel is a little bigger . Both are fantastic twig stoves.
oookay, yeah, I'm eventually going to get two of these for my EDC bag and my bug-out bag.
The Lixada/Overmont/Tomshoo clones actually work even better due to improved airflow provided by ventilation holes in the bottom plate. I don't know if Emberlit ever made use of that simple improvement to their design, but they should.
I'm undecided between this UL Compact Design Titanium Emberlit or the toak titanium, please give me your advice? You've had experience with TOAKS titanium wood stove? I do not know what to buy
You could just call him Mike (Mikhail = Michael) Merkurieff (Merc kyoory eff) or butcher it a little to just say Mike Merk-cure-off ... or Mike M :-) okay I'll go away now.
im looking at this and the TOPS stove...but think ill go with the TOPS for the adjustable shelf for use with my alcohol stove or fuel tabs...plus Im a TOPS fan lol
Oh yeah and one more thing, most preferably it should be a made in USA product which I know emberlit is. I would however settle on a bushbox since there's nothing wrong with German engineering.
Liked, shared, watched the ad. Now I'll ask the wife if I can buy one of these.
Excellent Review. I really enjoy my Emberlit. It really cranks out the heat. Seasoned dry hardwood works well, less blackened pots.
Hi Chris, another great video. have you noticed any warping? did it fit back in the pouch ok after the burn? A tip for you that we used to do many many many years ago when I was a scout was to coat the outside of your pots with liquid dish detergent before putting them over the fire and it made clean up a whole lot easier.
Dude, with the pine duff in your area put that in the bottom, place piece of cotton on it, hit it with spark. Viola, you got fire. Faster than the other way. Their called crossbar and go corner to corner.
Great video, Chris. I have one and couldn't be happier with it. Pine burns hot and is great for starting the fire but I switch to a different wood fuel (if available) to cut down on the gunk and soot.
That's a really cool piece of kit, but I would hate to try and put that thing together and light it when it's 20 degrees and raining and I was shaking from the cold.
Been looking at that stove best review I have seen on it. One more note like you I cant stand bad mouthing like you have said we are all a little different live in different parts of the country etc. getting kind of sick of the same old bla bla about what is a bug out bag what to carry what you need don't need you are just putting it out there the rest is up to you good job going to check some of your other stuff out.
woke up on a dew covered morning with scrounged wood, a pre soaked pair of cotton balls from the fire kit (petrol jelly)
time to fire from no wood to lit, 5 min time to coffee 10 total minutes
do you still use the live fire? or was that a fad?
Looks like a nice piece of kit! I recently looked at the 5″ Folding Firebox Campfire Stove. It looks alright and has some nice features. I like that it folds and doesn't require assembly, but it also weights nearly three times as much and can't be fed from the side. All in all I think I'd go with the Emberlit instead. Great review!
No offence to Emberlit which packs nice and compact, but the Silverfire Scout is my favorite by far
Cool kit. I'm a clean freak so I'm not sure I would like all the mess in the end. Still tempting though.
The floor of the woods behind the stove is strewn will pine cones. Why not fill up the box with them? Its all biomass.
Been thinking about this for a good minute and to see how sturdy it is really sold me bud .seeing you push that wood in and hitting the side wall with that canteen cup off to side yet no flex or movement dang brother good item great video brother !
i wish it had a flip down door or something to concentrate the flame upwards. You may have mentioned that towards the end of the video -- i didn't watch the last minute or so.
I always really enjoy getting your videos............Which stove do you like the most?
man your videos have gotten so much better chris. not that there was anything wrong with this back then. just saying. any opinion on the original vs the fire ant ?
The crossbars have slots they sit in on each corner, if your going to review a product do it right.
Nice stove. Sometimes I put my alcohol stove down inside my Emberit stove if the twigs are too wet.
Have had the ul for a while love it. Just joined the kick starter for the emberlit fire ant. Can't wait for that. The other stove I like allot is the firebox stove which comes in both stainless and titanium and is a multi fuel stove also. Both are great.
It occurs to me someone could fabricate something similar out of sheet metal at home if they needed too. Its a hobo stove that disassembles.
Nice review, kinda missing the SG tarp in the back ground tho.
This is great piece of kit. Another i will have to get.
What do you think about using a trangia in it? Too large for that? I'm just curious your opinion because I too have one of those junk black metal stoves you talked about it. Now I'm looking for something versatile. Something I can mostly use as a windscreen/pot stand for a trangia, but also that I can use wood or maybe even esbit, trioxane, or the new fuel gel for hearing mre
So I tried the wood functionality and that worked great!! Next as this was a purchase from Cabalas it is the older model and I wanted to use my Esbit Alcohol burner so I made a stand for the burner from a Myntz container and four small bolts and 8 nuts. and that works great also. Having the older model still makes it a multi fuel stove. Good product!!!!
How would you compare the emberlit to the canteen shop grill top stove ?
I just received one of this stove as a gift. After getting the fire going, it boiled 2 cups of water in my aluminum teapot in 4 min, 30 sec. Not as fats as my butane canister stove, obviously, but I also didn't have to buy any butane. It makes a great windbreak for a canister stove if you leave out the floor and grill. I'm pretty happy with it!
Just got mine today and I think it's just neat as heck! Put my trangia in side and my Stanley cookcup fits inside perfect. Use as windbreaker. When I run out of my bottle of heet I can revert to burning wood if need be !! Buy the way great video !!
Those metal round tent stakes would work pretty well as those cross pieces
I saw this, I ordered it, and it arrived today :-) What a solid peace of kit. Very nice and flat package.
@Chris, did you know that the cross bar exactly fits on the corners of the stove so it fits tight!
Well, keep up the good reviews! Fun too watch and keep all those survival tips coming!
Sorry, I noticed somebody already mentioned that:)
I just got one today and had to try it out. Works great. It will get lots of use.
$40 for a little stove. Size and weight seems good.
I have the same stove and it works like a charm. Btw, you installed it backwards, the Emberlit logo should be on the outside…
Still worked.
Wood stove has proved itself it's is what it is gona get one thanks
I heard if you were to rub the outside with thick soapy water before you use it, it cleans up better. I have never tried this, just thought I'd throw it out there.
Dish soap works well too
Great backup to a canister stove for backpackers.
OK you convinced me. I ordered one. Yeah I know this is an older video but I was l thinking about getting one of these so I started researching and of course I found what I needed at PM101! As always thanks Chris!
Strong work man. Thinkin I might pick one up.
Would this make a visible smoke trail?
PM, what is your opinion on the Kelly Kettle? I just got one and wanted your opinion.
Don't have one because I've never used one.
Comes together like a Chinese puzzle!
Hey Chris, have you checked out the Firebox (sometimes called the Folding Firebox) stoves? They're hinged together like that one that you said you didn't like, but these are bare stainless steel. There's also a smaller "Nano" version in bare SS or Ti for the ultra lightweight people. www.fireboxstove.com/index.php?route=common/home
Not yet. I know Wingman115 just reviewed the Nano.
I just got the Firebox. It's HEAVY compared to this. Just over 2 pounds. 2 pounds 8 oz with the extra optional top. Haven't bothered opening the package yet since I'll probably be returning it.
So far I've watched two videos on this device, and both used an accelerant. If you just use twigs and very small dry stuff and keep shoving twigs in as it heats up it works great.
Actually the top bars go corner to corner
Thoughts and opinions on Nomadic Stove Company. Although larger (less compact when packing), it states that it boils water faster (in 8 minutes) and uses 14/oz of fuel an hour. Just looking for reviews and a comparison. Thanks
Great video as always. I use the Emergency Folding Stove (like the one in the SAS manual) the same way. It initially comes with fuel tablets (which I DO NOT LIKE). So I use it with wood or an alcohol stove made to fit inside while it is opened up. I have been looking at the Emberlit and I may just get one if I bust my other stove before the summer ends! ;)
What do you think about the Solo Stove?
Mine just has the orange pack.
I've has mine for years now. They are fantastic stoves. Quick and easy to set up once u have practiced with it a little bit. Once set up correctly it's extremely stable and able to actually support a full sized Dutch oven to cook a family sized meal on it (I've done this at home) Just to test it out. I've been recommending this to a lot of people. Mikhail is fantastic to deal with. He puts a lot of thought into everything he does.
I recently bought one and it works fine. I like the way you started yours up, I used fat wood and a home made cotton pad dipped in wax (just a cut off and roughed up portion) to get the fire going. The newer model will let you use the alcohol stove or fuel tablets with the provided slots and a provided metal plate. Nice demo!
Oh.. you had a learning curve, but nice job... you also assembled it inside out! 😂
Great video. I've had mine for a couple of years and it slips inside my canteen cover so I've got water, a cup and space for coffee packets along with the stove. On a shoulder sling with my haversack I'm set for most day trips. I also enlarged the opening on the front to make it easier to feed wood for sustained cooking.
Cool tinder box like it Chris
this guy is hilarious love your videos
"John Smith" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (and I do agree on not butchering names, I just found that funny)
Holy cow! Thanks so much for the review! Had no idea you had made one.
I have this one and I love it.
What's the difference between that stove and a big coffee can with holes drilled in it?
***** Yep...the coffee can has zero second kind of cool appeal. But, it does work quite well.
A coffee can is also made of cheaper metal, which will degrade and rust after a few uses. One would also have to create cross bars or put a grill on top. That being said, if it's worth the savings to poke holes in a can each time you need a new one then go ahead. Buying this saves you the trouble (labor and time) of creating new tin can stoves.
Doobie Canoobie ya can't fold down a coffee can to a flat piece, this you can. Fits perfect in backpack and BOB
Doobie Canoobie About 40 dollars.
Great video. Have a similar stove. Been using for years. All my military cups/ pans have lots of permanent soot. Goes with the territory. Like your fire starter.
Cool stove. Thanks for sharing! 39 bucks seems like about twice a much as it should cost though.
This video is 2014. Well, this is 2019 signing in to say I have a Lixada Ti and it's a beauty !!
Which is better this brand or Bushcraft-Essentials Bushbox stove???
Probably comes down to personal preference on the design. I know this works flawlessly. I haven't tested the medium and large BE stoves yet. Then there is also the Firebox brand.
Geeezzz a third brand to consider.
thanks for the video man!! i will be checking more of your uploads out soon.
Although I would like summer edc bag or things to have in s dry climate
Looks great. Had my eye on a similar unit, so glad you did this review when you did.
