Thanks for this nice review! Instead of the alcohol burner, I opt for Esbit tablets. I simply cut out a light sheet of scrap metal in the shape of the holder for the alcohol burner. It just weighs 15g - 3g more than the holder for the alc. burner...
Glad I actually saw this. I didn’t know about your channel. I’m trying to decide/confirm getting a twig stove. I have an MSR Whisperlite International but I believe one should have a backup stove that only needs biomass because sticks & twigs will always be around you- restricting yourself to gas stoves is great til you run out of it if you’re on a week long trek. This is the way to go instead of using small cooking fires to cook like we’ve done. I’ve decided on titanium & am now checking this out. I think this decides it for me- the methanol burner for sure is a smart added bonus. Thanks for putting this out there!
Hey! Many thanks for dropping by! 😊 I was just talking about getting one from 'Bushcraft Essentials'.. Their products are definitely on the pricey side of things, but feedback and reviews have been amazing. I do agree with you that it's sometimes a good idea to have a spare, we just gotta try to keep the weight as low as possible.
Hola muy lindo tu video y gracias por ello. Quiero saber que alcohol se usa para este tipo de estufas ya que veo que hay muchos estilos y no se cual se usa y si son tópicos etc. Help me
I've been studying all the different ultra-mini wood burning stoves and have decided I like the Lixada most of all! The previous version which comes in separate parts is a terrible design and much too complicated to assemble - and falls apart too easily. Lixada finally got it right in this hinged version - it's both extremely easy to set up AND very sturdy in design. I feel it even beats out the Firebox Nano because of its simplicity. I really feel not enough is being said about this particular stove on the internet - it really is the best in its class, and I don't understand why you don't emphasize that in this video. The only other pocket stove that can compete is the Nano - and that's $70!!! I ordered the Titanium Lixada for $34, and that includes the titanium alcohol stove in this video! More people need to know about this hinged version of this stove! This is good presentation and I really like your character and style.
Excellent review and presentation of the two stoves! I really like the videography that you've done for this. I've already got too many stoves, I think, but I may try this one because of the hinged design for the folding stove. Thank you for sharing😀
Thank you! 🙂 (For twigs & branches) I usually let them burn out till they're ash, the pour water over them to ensure they're completely out. (For fuel) I use a pot-lid or something similar to completely cover the top, depriving it of oxygen will kill the fire quick. Just be cautious not to burn yourself! 🙂
Would of liked to seen wood burning in it, I have 5"x5" folding stoves was curious if its smaller size made a difference in how it burns. Overall good video, it allowed me to see the stove in comparison with your hand and I think I'll buy it to pair with my boundless voyage Dragonhorse folding titanium stove, it's small enough I think it would slip right into the Dragonhorse case and carry together. Thanks for taking the time to review it.
Yeah, you can also fashion some steel wire mesh and shape it in order make it so that it sits at the bottom of the stove to make the bottom holes smaller so that you can use wood pellets which gives the stove a longer burn time. You just need some type of alcohol to get the pellets to ignite. Which you should have if you're carrying a Trangia alcohol burner with you. The tinfoil can be used to close off the open area where you can feed the twigs into, so that you can fill the stove to full capacity. I love my stove, even though I got the stainless steel version.😊
I bought the same two items. My only issue so far is that it doesn't fold totally flat which makes me concerned about putting too much stress on the hinges when it's in my pack. Apart from that it was a bargain at the price (around $30-35 dollars for both if I remember correctly) to get something like that in titanium. The same style kit from Evernew is way more expensive.
I hated Singapore. Been there twice. No offense. I mean you seem like a cool person so don't take that the wrong way. You should come here to America one day. America is known for its natural beauty. There are alot of places you can camp off the grid and no permits are needed. No charge either. The best places are usually the free ones that are un developed and off grid. You can own guns here to hunt. A small .22 or a pellet gun. Fish and hunt man. It's a back packers paradise in some states. I've been places that would amaze you

Hello ILSLF: Sorry for the late reply! Here is the link where I got the stove set from: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002411576634.html 😊
I was looking at this stove myself, so nice to see how it works. Thank you!
My pleasure! It really is extremely well thought out and manufactured. 30s to set up! 🔥 Takes longer to inflate my inflatable pillow! LOL!

Great review thing of getting one soon for backpacking
Thanks for your review, i have a question, how you turn off the fire at the end?

Add piece of folded tin foil to block alcohol stove hole in 2nd plate and you can also put solid fuel
That's a great idea!! 😊

Nice review! Have you used it in the wind?
Yes I have, on a few occasions by the sea, even in a mild drizzle, works really well. 😊

Yup! I agree with the issue of not being able to fold-flat.. But as you said, I guess given the price-point, it's a fair compromise.. 😂
Been thinking of purchasing a 'bushcraft essential' kit for awhile, but thanks for sharing 'evernew', gonna check them out too! ✌🏻
@@Hong.Wanderlust Evernew kit is nice but very expensive, at least it is here in the UK.

There are much better twig stoves than this one
Oh absolutely!! I'm hoping to get myself a really well designed/built one from 'Bushcraft Essentials' sometime soon! 😊
some just guy - Would you be kind enough to list a few of these superior twig stoves? Thanks.
Wrong.
