They work great on sticks just stand them up vertically and fill the space . but the best i have found are the wood pellets they burn very evenly and for a long time. this stove is always in my pack now. very simple to use and fuel literally grows on trees, I know you will enjoy it.
This is a TULD type cooker. There are many possible loading and combustion methods, but only one optimal one. It is very compact, universal and effective. Its shape and modular design are an excellent basis for modifications and improvements - over the course of several years of use, I have made 14 of them (I also have a gas and alcohol insert for it). I achieved comprehensive management of oxygen, flame, combustion temperature of 500 ~ 1100°C, charcoal and embers. Disadvantages: weight, transport space and self-degradation of the material (inox 304). I think I know "almost" everything about her.
To me they weigh just about nothing and it fits very nicely in the pot I carry along with many other small items so im never worried about that. as for material. I have used mine extensively and have had no degradation in the material so far. overall im very happy with it.
@@davebloggs #1. What matters is that you are satisfied. I am also very satisfied. I have three pots and a frying pan, and a small Ohuhu stove inside (135 mm diameter). #2. The cooker works even better after using covers and reducers - DIY. It burns even longer, has more embers, does not dirty the pots, sparks do not burn the tarp / hammock... #3. Structural degradation is not visible - it must be an electron microscope! But the rust is visible - look from the inside. #4. I also have a large version of it (200 mm) - this is a challenge.
Zip firestarter is the best for this and pellets. Lights in heavy rain too. I break up a bar into sugar-cube size. Also, if you have a tripod cooking grate…or an adjustable stake-the-ground type… A few inches above that fire with a solid pan acts as a heat deflector, and you can sit around the stove like a campfire.
It would interest me to know the temperature of the heat at the moment the open flame goes out, and how long that maintains without adding fuel. Nice video! Thanks for enduring the cold to make this public.
once the visible flame went out the remaining charcoal stayed hot for some time im guessing at 5 to 10 mins i could still blow the remains and get a good red glow it would have been easy to add some fuel at that point to get things going again, these stoves burn from the top down so what i have done is cut some small twigs arranded them in a bunch and stood them up vertically that seems to work the best , Im sure it would last ages if i kept feeding it but a full charge of pellets around 1 pound lasted well over an hour so plenty for cooking and boiling water for sure.
yes apologies for the poor sound this was on my little camera and the sound is not very good . my DSLR does a much better job but sadly I did not have that one with me that day.
Your review was excellent. People usually burn it on a windy day so the smooth fire jets coming from the sides of the stove is not visible or it is turbulent. In your video as there is no wind so the smooth fire jets can be seen and are so satisfying.
Thank you, they do make a wind screen which you can fold up but i prefer to just site the stove in a good spot in the first place . its an amazing stove and now part of my pack kit list.
i know im asking randomly but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Zayden Raphael Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
unfortunately there is quite a lot of wildlife in that area from bears to wolves etc and i like to see what is around me . mid winter i use tarps if camping but I also use a fishing line trick to set up a perimeter in the forest , so I get an early warning if stuff is around. generally though most wild life avoids people at all costs.
Not the best of cameras for this job but its very robust , i do have my professional camera gear but dont like taking that on what I call dave trails, I have been looking at thego pros etc but will have to see what i can do about sound.
Good video. About 25 minutes to boil water is quite long. I understand the conditions but still good results. So much firewood/resources around, beautiful I love it. Please be safe.
The water boiled in 8 minuites sorry for the confusion the fire had been going for about 25 but the water only took 8 minuites to boil .I did another test with my big kettle just to see how that went and again it boiled in a very short time, the other video is in my play list here.
I have found that pellets give the most consistent burn time of just over an hour on a full charge. at at a few bucks for a 40 pound sack they last a very long time. i use about 1 pound for a full charge and that runs around 1 hour 10 mins.
Thank you its a great little stove it is now a permanent part of my pack and a ziploc full of pellets, it burns about 1 pound of pellets for a little over an hour, and boils a full pot of water in around 8 minutes ,
Where I live about 30 seconds in the snow, but in none snowy conditions it looses heat very fast, a separate all the parts and the base cools in seconds the fire basket and top double wall allow a few minute's and all is good. you will love this stove. if using sticks stand them upright or better still run them on pellets. have fun , they are a great addition to any backpack kit.
@@davebloggs It’s a great idea to have some wood pellets with you in the event that you get caught out in a downpour and can’t source dry wood. Also, for the stove to work properly you must cut your fuel to very short lengths and pack then tightly. Sometimes I’d rather relax than sit and cut little pieces of wood for an extended period of time. So, to each his own.
It took i would estimate 5 to 8 mins to really get going and the last bit of the fuel was not a solid burn so I would estimate that about 50 to 60 mins on about a pound /500 grams of pellets now im using good quality pellets and there are cheaper ones out there but these were only $6.50 for a 40 lb bag and lasted a very long time . i could certainly have cooked a full meal and boiled all my water on one charge.
Yes I agree that was filmed with a little fuji camera and the audio was garbage if you were more than 3 feet away. that was the main reason I got the go pro 10 black way better audio.
Many people have found it useful but I agree the sound on my old camera was garbage , i now have the go pro 10 and that is much better for sure. thank you for watching the video..
I've got an Ohuhu arriving on Monday. I can't wait to try out the pellet idea. Thanks for the test.

I just turned up the volume. I could her Dave well enough then. Good video.

@Zayden Raphael it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
You should have put up a wind block if you say you had tarps . No need to be cold.
unfortunately there is quite a lot of wildlife in that area from bears to wolves etc and i like to see what is around me . mid winter i use tarps if camping but I also use a fishing line trick to set up a perimeter in the forest , so I get an early warning if stuff is around. generally though most wild life avoids people at all costs.
Can't hear what you are talking about. My volume is at max. Please fix this problem. I think you would be a reviewer of products. Good Luck!

dave bloggs I probably misunderstood Excellent results man.
@@humanthingtodo7891 no worries. i have to say for $22 this little stove is an amazing bit of kit and now live in my pack full time.
Wood pellets seem to be a good option.

@@davebloggsAbout the same time for me using the same stove. I also feed it sticks as I cook to get that extra cook time and warmth.
@@oldrabidus2230 I often do that as well. they are a great little stove and heat stuff fast thats for sure.
Good video 👍
Thank you its a great little stove it is now a permanent part of my pack and a ziploc full of pellets, it burns about 1 pound of pellets for a little over an hour, and boils a full pot of water in around 8 minutes ,
I have just got one for Christmas but not used it. How long does it take to cool down?
Where I live about 30 seconds in the snow, but in none snowy conditions it looses heat very fast, a separate all the parts and the base cools in seconds the fire basket and top double wall allow a few minute's and all is good. you will love this stove. if using sticks stand them upright or better still run them on pellets. have fun , they are a great addition to any backpack kit.
ua-cam.com/video/kVUEcOhapI4/v-deo.htmlsi=zQhDxEVeHv16zYOU take a look at my other video at around the 3 minuite mark for a lot more information.
Use the normal wood or stay in the kitchen at the gasstove.😂
Why when wood pellets do a much better job.
@@davebloggs It’s a great idea to have some wood pellets with you in the event that you get caught out in a downpour and can’t source dry wood.

Overall, how long did the pellets provide a good cooking flame? I like the pellet idea
It took i would estimate 5 to 8 mins to really get going and the last bit of the fuel was not a solid burn so I would estimate that about 50 to 60 mins on about a pound /500 grams of pellets now im using good quality pellets and there are cheaper ones out there but these were only $6.50 for a 40 lb bag and lasted a very long time . i could certainly have cooked a full meal and boiled all my water on one charge.
Audio sucks!
Yes I agree that was filmed with a little fuji camera and the audio was garbage if you were more than 3 feet away. that was the main reason I got the go pro 10 black way better audio.
Too bad you didn't heck the sound before going on....might have been a good and useful video
Many people have found it useful but I agree the sound on my old camera was garbage , i now have the go pro 10 and that is much better for sure. thank you for watching the video..
