So glad to see you use a pan for an ash tray under this !! So many videos I've seen let the ashes drop on dry leaf covered ground. Seems very dangerous to me. The least people could do is brush the leaves away or place this on a flat rock. Nice clear demo. Thanks.
So many people don't fully understand that what is actually burning in a wood fire is the gas released from the wood when it is heated. When a fire smokes, it is because the gas is not completely combusted. The holes at the top supply secondary air to help burn the gas released from the wood completely. While it may seem like the holes are supplying wood gas, that is not the case.
I'm thinking about getting one of these stoves. One never knows when a natural disaster or man-made disaster might end with no power or gas. I understand even without wood pellets one can use twigs and other natural wood debris to fuel it. Best of all - if the inlaws come looking after ya - there's no smoke to give away your location! LOL. Sorry about the lame joke. I couldn't resist. But yessir the smokeless feature is great!! Thanks for making this video.
you are an excellent reviewer. You are up front, tell it like it is and demonstrate what the item does. VERY GOOD. I watched one reviewer when he demonstrated a infra red temp meter. He did show it on vid, it did EVERYTHING that it was designed to do. BUT he said out of 5 stars he would only give it 4 because nothing is perfect. He was very stubborn on this and it didn't matter that EVERYTHING is not perfect so it is all equal and it should be 5 stars as it did everything it was designed for. He would have a problem reviewing a tooth pick. VERY GOOD vid, nice job.. I have been looking for a efficent way to burn wood pellets, gonna give this a try.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Absolutely! Someone who is nitpicking all the time will never be happy with anything. There is no need to "pick bones in an egg", especially when cheaply or reasonably priced.
These stoves burn from the top down so when charging with fuel fill to just below the top inner holes then light and on pellets up to the holes it burns for about 1 hour 10 mins. I keep seeing people demonstrate these stoves and light the fire in the bottom and add sticks etc. what you actually do is fill it with fuel first and in burns downwards.
great gasification, Iv'e found that a little bit of hand sanitzer also works well on the wood pellets to get them going if you don't want to spend much time torching it, 70%+ works best
Ahh, I"m the first comment yay! lol A baron man cave might be the best man cave, as no one will bother you! I like that stove! Better get a hotdog on that grate before the embers run out. ;-)
Ha ha. Will have to go to PWR and make some hot tea soon. This little stove is great. Problem with my barren man cave backyard is it gets overgrown with weeds by summer and I will have to hire gardeners to clear it. Consider mulching it with bark. Thanks for watching!
@@rmwtsou one more thing...I was watching another video about the Sterno "Inferno" stove, which of course, perfectly holds a sterno can. It does look like if you wanted a cleaner burning fuel, you could maybe stick a sterno can in there?
@@dgunearthed7859 Yes, I have seen those before. This stove does come with a tray for solidified alcohol fuel. You can probably use liquid alcohol as well but that may be a fire hazard if the stove gets tipped over. By the way, I have just upload a new video of using the Big Horn Outdoors pellet-burning pizza oven. It is pretty cool. Thanks for watching.
@@rmwtsou Sorry Bob, I watched this video again and I was wondering about the torch. It looks like it fits right on top of a can of pressurized lighter fluid? Like the type of can you would use to re-fill say your Clipper lighter? Or is it a can of fuel specifically for that torch? Thank you. And I'm sorry about the haters below. For those of us who aren't handy (like myself) and can afford a $22 item like this, I think this is great. I mean at least you're not hocking that 4patriots gasifier star stove. It's going for $60 bucks. Now that's something to complain about! lol
@@dgunearthed7859 The torch fits right over any ordinary butane fuel can that is commonly used in household butane stoves. They are usually sold in packs of 6 cans in Asian grocery stores and are cheap. You can probably find them on Amazon. Here is an example of the torch on Amazon. It is cheap and very useful. Thanks for asking!
Když se náplní vařič peletkami až nahoru, tak dokáže hořet 60 minut a dalších 30 minut je žhavé a dokáže dále uvařit vodu, nebo se může na roštu 30 minut grilovat.
Yes bro for survival situation we need this these days, and their is risk of a nuclear war. I want people to start stock piling and have things ready in emergency, even build a bunker backyard underground bunker.
I made a gasifier stove myself a number of years back, only it was aluminum. This looks one looks a lot nicer. It's too bad we can't get US made products like this without paying an arm and a leg.
One should be able to make one of these fairly easily using stainless steel kitchen pails. You are right about not able to find U.S. made products of this type, even if you wanted to buy American. At $22, there is just not enough profit incentive to make these, especially now the minimum wage is $15 an hour. I am OK with China making these low-priced items, as long as we can sell them our high-priced stuff that they can't make, like jumbo jets.
Also, nowadays you often can't tell where the stuffs are made. The Solo Stove, with similar design, is an American company based in Ft. Worth, TX, but I read they outsource their manufacturing to China. The most basic Solo cost $110, and the design may not be as good as this Ohuhu stove. I am not even sure if Solo was the first company to use this design. I read on Wikipedia that the gasifier stoves were also called "Chinese stoves" in the past, so there you go...
I dodn't really need to learn how to light it in a backyard with a butane torch - anyone can do that. I have no problem with twigs etc., but I'm finding pellets are difficult to light (without the flame thrower!)
I have a mini butane torch that I use to light my alcohol stoves, so that's what I do, splash a half ounce of alcohol on the cheapest hardwood pellets to getter started. Hard to tell if it's lit, but u will feel it b4 u see it. Doesn't take long for secondary burn & not much smoke. Pellets burn for a long time, and u still got useable heat from coals, after flames go out & then nothing left but a bit of ash. I use methyl hydrate, paint thinner. Sometimes a squirt of hand sanitizer, sometimes scrape up a piece of birch bark & use that to light the hand sanitizer/alcohol, so u know it's lit. Fondue fuel works too, it's blue so u can see it burning, or fire gel. A piece of birch bark on top is not enough, but dispersed inside the pellets, maybe. Experimenting is half the fun, good luck
There are side air holes at the bottom, the tray protects the ground from heat & falling embers. I use a double wrapped aluminum foil, carbon felt pad from another project, protects my wife's precious plastic table cloth on the patio table - leave no trace, right?
I think that this stove makes a lot of soot. You didn't show us the bottom of your kettle but I would bet that it is completely sooty. With wood i get less orange sooty flames and more complete combustion but it still leaves soot on my pans. The wood pellets lays too well at the bottom essentially blocking the holes at the bottom designed for air and gas circulation, which explains the orange flames.
Ok thanks. My experience is completely different from yours. I used mine for three months last summer going from Florida all the way up to Moosehead lake. Stopping in west Virginia and Maryland for 1.5 months. I used mine at least 2 times per day and soot from the 20lbs bag of pellets was terrible. I eventually decided to baton 0.5-0.75" sticks of extremely dry wood instead. I get nearly complete combustion with blue to clear flames. Your pellets are giving off orange flame which in my career as a chemist, denotes an incomplete combustion, but yet you have no soot. I wish I was so lucky.
@@samthai818 I have not used thus stove since the video but as I recall, when full gasification was achieved, the flame is bright and full, with absolutely no smoke or soot. All equipment remains clean an afterwards, there us only a little dry ash remaining in the burn chamber, which I just dump and there is nothing to clean. Absolutely no soot!
Snafu, i use aged very dry wood. I cut and baton a box of 1"x4" sticks that I keep in my SUV for family picnics. After a whole summer of 90° weather in a hot Sequoia it is completely dry. I also only burn my wood standing up never laying down to affect an efficient gas circulation. I never allow ashes to accumulate and block the holes in the ash pan. Using this method you will get the hottest most complete combustion out of your gassifiers. Btw, this is called a gassifier because it utilizes a secondary combustion of mainly hydrogen given off by the primary combustion. So yes I am using hydrogen in my gassifier.
So glad to see you use a pan for an ash tray under this !! So many videos I've seen let the ashes drop on dry leaf covered ground. Seems very dangerous to me. The least people could do is brush the leaves away or place this on a flat rock. Nice clear demo. Thanks.
Great review! I like that it's cheap, light, and uses 2 kinds of fuel, one being natural and abundant
Formula for success when you have these elements.
Your ‘mancave’ looks perfect for mini off road rc trucks!

These are cheap enough to buy without too much deliberation.
it looks so cool while it's burning
Excellent test all around. I really wanted a demonstration and burn time with hardwood pellets. Thank you.

Some folks have tested various amounts of pellets, and found that 1 cup burns the most efficiently.
@@justinw1765 not sure how much a cup is but around 1 pound seems to be good and comes up just below the gas slots at the top
Awesome video. You have a great demeanor for review videos.
I love your 'man-cave'!! Very roomy.

Well done, I’ll give the wood pellets a try. 👍
Great video mate. Cheers
The Ohuhu windshield is a handy supplement. And would have shortened your boil time.
Yes. Should have used one. Thanks!
Made toast and Grilled Cheese spam on mine yesterday and a hamburger , love it
Cool!
Very nicely done.
Thanks!
I sometimes put my gas stove inside it.
Gotta get me one. And the the MSR Alpine Stowaway Pot 775 ml to fit this stove in, as it fits snuggly.
Looks to be nicely made.
Yes. Very well-made. I am very happy with this purchase. Thanks for watching!
That's good how long those pellets lasted for. With twigs I have to reload often.
And they are clean burning, too, with hardly any ash.
Got those weeds, nice
Good vid , thx for making

might have been quicker if you hadn't titu with it all the time
isnt the tray obstructing the air flow at the bottom?
There are side air holes at the bottom, the tray protects the ground from heat & falling embers. I use a double wrapped aluminum foil, carbon felt pad from another project, protects my wife's precious plastic table cloth on the patio table - leave no trace, right?
How you stop the fire?
Let it burn out or pour water on it. It is easy to clean.
Cool sounds easy
🙏🏼
Lets get cooking
What kind of wood pellets did you use? Did you put something in the bottom to keep the pellets from falling through the bottom pan?
Use any wood pellets. Buy the cheapest. No need for bottom mesh. Just add pellets directly.
I think that this stove makes a lot of soot. You didn't show us the bottom of your kettle but I would bet that it is completely sooty. With wood i get less orange sooty flames and more complete combustion but it still leaves soot on my pans.

Absolutely no soot! It is clean burning, not even smoke. That is what gasification is all about!
