Glad you enjoyed the video. Testing for durability is important to me. This is not be the best stove but it is good for the money. Thanks for commenting
I received this stove via Ali Express and have used it several times. I've been using it mostly as a mini-fire pit, little cooking and boiling water. I plan to use it more as a mini-grill with charcoal, just waiting for a grill grate that I ordered from Amazon. I have about four or five other stoves, but this is one of my favorites. I like the versatility and pack ability of it and it is the biggest overall stove I own. It appears that it will hold up very well as I really don't see much in the way of warping. Thanks!
Hi Mark. Thanks for the review. Well done as always! I have to quit buying stuff and start using what I have! Oh well, one more won’t hurt! Regards, Wayne
Hi folks, Two things. It has been pointed out to me that I quote the stove measurements in millimeters instead of centimeters. Thank you for that. Second, it appears the link I supplied to purchase the stove is out of stock. If you are interested I am sure you can find the same stove on numerous sites. Please note, as I mentioned in the video, there was no brand associated with this stove and no marking on this stove at all. Also, I some of the postings say titanium but of you read further down they are stainless steel. NOTE: I have updated the links in the video description as demand has outstripped supply from the original sellers. Please note that the Aliexpress link states titanium but is stainless steel. Apparently, prices have been going up since this video was released. Go figure
Well hi there. I am totally enjoying your UA-cam videos. I just discovered you the other day. I am a Canadian also. Watching you play with fire LOL it’s like you just received a new toy and you’re discovering it’s uses👍 I can literally hear the joy you have doing what you were doing. And by the way I think you sound like Alex Trebek. Keep safe and well during this COVID-19
I live in Cambridge Ontario I can’t get out to the woods like you do but I love to try and start a little fire in the backyard with my flint Stick and striker and birchbark LOL I’m a newbie but I do love the smell of a wood fire
Hi Mark. Still been using my large stove with charcoal, fire pit, and biomass stove. I agree best budget stove. Only slight warping, but no issues. My best all around stove!
Good to hear. It is a great design. I am considering what a slightly larger version of this stove would be like. Maybe with a bit heavier metal. Will have to look around and see what I can find
Looks like a winner!. Found two listing on Ebay for titanium version $17 and 21 and free shipping. Stainless version going for $12.99 plus $2.99 shipping
I just bought it..waiting for delivery..will keep u posted..but i learned sooo much from ur video..all usefull info..e.g. Putting wood horizontally on top in the stove depressions..that is going to be very practical to cook my soups during our Ottawa winters..coldest country capital on the planet..brrrr
Good video. Wet or damp wood is a pain indoors or out. That stove looks like it might be perfect for long distance hikers who want versatility as well as very little weight. Thanks.
Interesting stove design Mark...seems extremely adaptable / versatile. I found a titanium version on Ali Express for $16. Not bad and only 100g. I'll be right with you in about a month and a half 😋. Thanks for the video.
Paul, let me know what you think of the stove when it arrives, I see some adds on Aliexpress stating titanium in the title and stainless steel in the description. The add you provided does say titanium but the picture looks like my SS stove, except new and clean
Another great review for a cute little stove, personally I prefer BIG stoves like the Flexfire 6, which I plan to use all the time....when i get time to go in the bush. Lol Take care Mark & keep em coming 💯🤝👌
What a clever stove, I like it, have found one on Amazon UK which is under the name supertop camping stove, think I'm going to order one. Thanks for sharing Mark, take care 👍🙂
Hi Mark, just an update on my budget stove. I have had about 25 plus burns in my stove. The sides have warped a little, but the most warping is on the bottom burn plate and has warped quite a bit, even though I have tried reversing a couple of times. It will no longer lay flat. However, this has really still not effected how it works or functions or fits together. I have been mostly used wood, but sometimes I have used charcoal. I bought a 7.48 inch grill plate that I was using as a grill, which works very well for 3 burgers. It all fits in the same case. Bottom line, for the price it works very well. I recently purchased the Firebox stove, so not using this budget stove much now.
Pretty much my experience as well. It is not a heavy duty stove for sure. I do find even the Emberlit warps and I have to bend it back in shape. Hard to beat the Firebox, It is bomb proof if a bit heavy. Thanks for letting me know how it was going
Hi Mark. those huge scalloped openings at the top of each of the four sides should be great for the fire box. I had to drill holes in my Emberlit (which I love) to make the air flow at the top be enough to not dampen the flames and create a lot of smoke once I place a pot on the crossbars. Another great vid! ATB
I like the assembled design. Although it seems a bit complicated to set up I imagine after a few times it becomes easier. It seems to go through wood fairly fast. It’s easy enough to keep an adequate supply prepared and after it’s going even damp sticks will catch. I like my Docooler gasifier that disassembles in half like a Lixada but has a solid top with the cutout to feed the chamber like a Solo. Once they’re hot larger damp pieces don’t put them out as easily as long as it’s not excessively wet and not fed too fast. They burn for a bit longer at a higher temperature due to the efficiency of the gasification. I keep a pot of water on at camp for coffee and washing. The down side is they are a bit heavier. I’ve used front loading box stoves before, not this one but similar. Once there is a good bed of coals in the bottom they perform fairly well.
I also like my wood gas stove. I have the Lixada. The pros for the wood gas are easy assembly and clean/efficient burning once it gets going. The downside is bulk/weight and the need to process wood to a small size. The collapsible stoves take a bit more work to set up but they are more compact/light weight and longer pieces of wood can be used in them. I see them as different stoves for different applications. Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark. Thanks for the review. Well done as always! I have to quit buying stuff and start using what I have! My wife doesn't know yet, but just purchased via Ali Express (I think) I tried to get the bigger size because I have several other smaller stove. Waiting for Ali to confirm order.
I agree. The Nimblewill Nomade Little Dandy is the inspiration for a lot of stoves including the Emberlit. I have made the Little Dandy myself. Thanks for commenting
hi mark after 12 fires in titanium stove it still goes together well does not fall apart no trouble with distortion only minimal all for £10. quid{pounds} from ebay uk English stockist of them 112 grams with case many thanks for showing the stove off keep up good videos
Hi Mark, another good review I see. My personal take on these SMALL stoves is they obviously take TOO small wood for my personal liking & they got TOO good airflow which means they burn through the SMALL wood so darn fast & you gotta be putting wood in em ALOT to keep a good heat !! But that's just MY personal opinion on these small stoves. 👍😎
Thanks for this video! Just shows you that you dont need expensive stoves and a good cheap stove is just as good. I have few cheap stoves and they work great so do I need an expensive one? Not really because I like the cheap ones I have. That stove you used looks like a bushbox I have so it's pretty good one!
Perhaps if placed upside down it could be used as a grill? Just trying to work out why you would want to flip it upside down. Absolutely love the detail in your videos! Great job!
Grilling would seem a legitimate option if you flip it upside down. If you're using wood, the fire would now be below the grill plate. Nice idea! Another reason might be to allow more options for the height of the grill plate. Assembled right-side up, the grill has 3 options of its distance, when measured from the bottom of the stove. Flip the stove over, and I'll bet you now have 3 completely different distances from the bottom of the stove to the grill plate. As long as the stove is still stable in the upside-down format, you've got 6 options for distance of the grill plate, so you may find something that's just the right height for your needs.
Hey Mark, I have not been able to find the medium size one. Did you happen to find that on AliExpress as well? I see that it was on Canada‘s eBay but it’s out of stock. And it’s simply not available in the US eBay
I did a little looking and updated the links in the video description. It would appear my video is causing a run on the stove and prices are going up. Too bad I am not getting a commission😅. Thanks for commenting
I'm a fairly new subscriber, and am going through your stove videos. I appreciate your thoroughness. Couldn't help but notice your what looks like a heavy wool shirt. I'm a long time wool garment user, and always enjoy learning about new ones. Would you mind posting more info about the brand or source? Thank you.
Thank you for subscribing. I love wool also and wish I could afford more of it. This is an older Canadian Army issue shirt. There is a similar US version as well. I picked mine up at a thrift store for $5.00 but I believe they may be found on some of the surplus sites. I like it at least as much as some of the anoraks at a much better price. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I am glad to have the opportunity to find your channel. As I was going through your videos, I realized that I'd watched your Tllley hat one some time ago. What a great hat. I'll keep an eye out for a good surplus wool shirt, and hopefullyfor a good price as you found. It's getting harder to find ones that are a thick dense wool and better yet 100٪ wool. I love wool of all kinds from merino to the scratchier stuff. Wool in itself from the animal type to origin country like Icelandic sheep is fascinating. I look forward to exploring your wool blanket and derived clothing piece videos. I have some old US Army and Navy surplus blankets, and boy are they warm. Ordered a MacAuslands 100 virgin wool blanket from the PEI Canada mill, so looking forward to getting that soon. Glad to hear your latest channel update and know you are well. Also glad to learn you are a retired police officer. I really respect your years of service.
A quick follow-up Mark. I rec'd my Aliexpress version in the mail yesterday. It is extremely light - 82g or 2.9oz (without the case). That officially makes it the lightest option in my stove arsenal! Is it Titanium as they stated? I can't say for sure... there appears to be a third animal floating around... something called 'Titanium coated steel' which really muddies the water. Anyway, my tests shows it is absolutely non-magnetic. I've read that stainless steel may or may not be depending on it's crystalline structure - how does your fair with a magnet? I may take a grinder to a small section to see what colour sparks it produces. Apparently there's a significant difference between the two metals.
I saw that listing on Aliexpress and wondered about that "Titanium coated steel" as well. I think they're hoping that if they can put "Titanium" anywhere in the description that people won't read carefully and will be fooled into thinking it's made of titanium, rather than just coated. I'd rather it be the other way, where they make sure you know it's made of SS but note that it's coated in Ti for corrosion resistance (not that SS isn't fairly resistant, anyway).
Interesting Paul. The weight would suggest Ti. Would be good to hear how it stands up to a few burns. I have a new stove I am testing that is supposed to made from a titanium-stainless steel allow. I had not hear of that and am looking to confirm that it is. Let me know what you find out
I agree. That is why I posted for people to be aware of the claims. Now I am getting interested in trying a ti coated stove or one that claims to be made from Ti
I bought one last week from Amazon with same pouch, a stainless round alcohol or Esbit bowl, and a stainless steel collapsible Bellow tube for all for @$10. Unfortunately, it only stays together upside down with burner plate on top, as notches are too short and face the wrong direction to function with burner plate on bottom. I may use some roof flashing $.40 to improve design. Cheers
That is unfortunate. Quality control from China can be suspect especially when an item is unbranded so no one has to take responsibility. I hope you mod works for you. Thanks for commenting
Great little stove Mark. I wonder if you had the workshop and Materials what design for a packable stove would you come up with.. Titanium? Stainless? Box shape or round? MARK 1 STOVE! LOL. Great review and stove!
Would probably be the Mark 62 by the time I was finished😅. Honestly, the titanium Firebox is as close to a "best" design that I have found. Costly though. I have a few new ones I am testing that are really interesting. Videos coming soon
Interesting idea. I will give it some thought although I don't see it working as there is no airflow through the bottom and the amount would be so small. Thanks for commenting
Another great video review. I’m going to add the larger size to my selection of stoves. Do you believe the larger size would have the same versatility? Thank you for posting this review.
The larger size does interest me as well. It should have all the same versatility. My only concern would be the durability as it appears to be made of the same thin steel. Let me know what you think of it. Thanks for commenting
Mark Young I will let you know about durability. My initial beliefs are corrosion will not be an issue and warping should be minimal as long as the stove isn’t over filled (slight bowing) before the fire is lit.
I ordered one yesterday but got this message from the seller""""The item you bought from our store is a new batch,and after we tested them,we found they are defective.We contacted the supplier but they told us that they don't have this item available now,and also don't know when the goods will be available again.""" I wonder if they are too thin and melt in the fire..... I also notice the price has gone up more than double.
Interesting. I think because they are unbranded there may be a number of makers. Some of them may not be doing a good job. Bit of a risk. I do like Aliexpress for the safety of knowing I can get some assistance if I am not happy. Thanks for commenting
I lv this stove … u hit more details than I saw at first.. thanx ,,, THNX 4 UR TIME ….. tool to go along with it is recommended .. FR-1 defense … quality billow …up 2 30 inch billow … no need to reply .. me live and still breath in ALASKA.
Could you use the alcohol burner on the bottom plate. Put the cross pieces above, slide a small diameter pot inside the sides of the stove and resting on the cross pieces. It would give wind protection.
Hi Mark..hope all is well..you had a cylindrical german stainless steel folding stove..what was the name..i want to but ine if the price is reasonable..thanks..health n happiness
@@MarkYoungBushcraft thx Marc but it's not this video..the stove in question is cylindrical and collapses to a flat shape..vut no worries since it probably exceeds my budget..be well my friend
Mark, as you were handling the stove I noticed your hands, specifically your fingernails. They were immaculate! You looked as if you had just received a manicure. Now I know that you're a rugged outdoorsman from Nova Scotia, so I'm sure your hands get plenty dirty from time to time. The fact that they were immaculate in this video leads me to one inescapable conclusion: you didn't want to offend anyone by not looking presentable to us, your UA-cam audience. That was very thoughtful of you, my friend.
Wow. No one has commented on my appearance before. In truth I do try and look half-decent for the camera. My hands often do get dirty from tree sap, etc. The gloves I wear to prevent injury help keep them clean as well. I keep my nails short to prevent splits as well as dirt. Thanks for commenting
So I have heard. There are quite a few other posting for the same stove. Unfortunately, I do not have a brand to help withe the search. Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark ?? Derek Croft from Bridgewater I'm putting up for Sale my Bushbox XL I just got TOO many twig stoves as it is & I NEED to cut back. I'm on my Local Buy & Sell but if you KNOW anyone up your way interested....let me know THANK YOU !! Love your videos & KEEP em coming. 🤝👍😃
Hi Derek. Can you PM or email me with the link to the stove? Email address is under the about tab on my channel. Or you could contact me through FaceBook Messenger
Good review but I don't think this one is for me looks a bit fiddly compared to some of the sleeker but more expensive options out there and that I currently use. Can't argue that the price is fare though. Sold out both sizes.
Interesting. Bit expensive. Looking at their other products I think they are re-branding common items made in China as I see them under different brand names. Thanks for commenting John
Great video as always, Mark! This little stove looked interesting enough that I started looking online for it, but the links all had much higher prices than I was expecting (a lot higher than my Lixada hinged stove, for example). I know others have commented on problems finding it at a reasonable price, too. I finally found it on Amazon for about the same price as the Lixada, so I went ahead and ordered it, now waiting (impatiently!) for it to arrive. Here is the link to the Amazon listing I found: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082F51ZLZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Oops, never mind. I just looked on AliExpress this morning and they've got several new listings for the stove that are as good or better than the Amazon link I listed.
It would appear my video may have caused a run on the stove and a price increase. Go figure. I know I am not getting anything from it😆. It does take some searching to find a good price for it so I am glad you were able to do so. I will add your link to the video description. Thanks
Not sure I understand the question. Simple stainless steel with no zinc, nickel, chrome or coatings. In any event, I would have no way of knowing if toxic gasses where released. Very little risk when used outdoors.
Oh no. Unfortunate. I usually have to wait two months getting stuff from China and about three months since COVID but 6 months is crazy. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft it is titanium way lighter than the little lixada hinged folding stove quite the pain to first put together lol very nice stove i like it very much

As long as the stove is still stable in the upside-down format, you've got 6 options for distance of the grill plate, so you may find something that's just the right height for your needs.
Yes, using it upside down to grill may be a good option. Thanks for commenting
Hey Mark, I have not been able to find the medium size one. Did you happen to find that on AliExpress as well? I see that it was on Canada‘s eBay but it’s out of stock. And it’s simply not available in the US eBay
I did a little looking and updated the links in the video description. It would appear my video is causing a run on the stove and prices are going up. Too bad I am not getting a commission😅. Thanks for commenting
Mark Young lol. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Mark, I think your millimeter measurements should be in centimetres. It's roughly 25mm =1". Good review.
Yes, you are correct. My bad😆. Thanks for commenting my friend
Great review, i just ordered it, gonna add it to my bugout kit
Right on. Let me know what you think. Thanks for commenting
I'm a fairly new subscriber, and am going through your stove videos. I appreciate your thoroughness. Couldn't help but notice your what looks like a heavy wool shirt. I'm a long time wool garment user, and always enjoy learning about new ones. Would you mind posting more info about the brand or source? Thank you.
Thank you for subscribing. I love wool also and wish I could afford more of it. This is an older Canadian Army issue shirt. There is a similar US version as well. I picked mine up at a thrift store for $5.00 but I believe they may be found on some of the surplus sites. I like it at least as much as some of the anoraks at a much better price. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I am glad to have the opportunity to find your channel. As I was going through your videos, I realized that I'd watched your Tllley hat one some time ago. What a great hat. I'll keep an eye out for a good surplus wool shirt, and hopefullyfor a good price as you found. It's getting harder to find ones that are a thick dense wool and better yet 100٪ wool. I love wool of all kinds from merino to the scratchier stuff. Wool in itself from the animal type to origin country like Icelandic sheep is fascinating. I look forward to exploring your wool blanket and derived clothing piece videos. I have some old US Army and Navy surplus blankets, and boy are they warm. Ordered a MacAuslands 100 virgin wool blanket from the PEI Canada mill, so looking forward to getting that soon. Glad to hear your latest channel update and know you are well. Also glad to learn you are a retired police officer. I really respect your years of service.
A quick follow-up Mark. I rec'd my Aliexpress version in the mail yesterday. It is extremely light - 82g or 2.9oz (without the case). That officially makes it the lightest option in my stove arsenal! Is it Titanium as they stated? I can't say for sure... there appears to be a third animal floating around... something called 'Titanium coated steel' which really muddies the water. Anyway, my tests shows it is absolutely non-magnetic. I've read that stainless steel may or may not be depending on it's crystalline structure - how does your fair with a magnet? I may take a grinder to a small section to see what colour sparks it produces. Apparently there's a significant difference between the two metals.
I saw that listing on Aliexpress and wondered about that "Titanium coated steel" as well. I think they're hoping that if they can put "Titanium" anywhere in the description that people won't read carefully and will be fooled into thinking it's made of titanium, rather than just coated. I'd rather it be the other way, where they make sure you know it's made of SS but note that it's coated in Ti for corrosion resistance (not that SS isn't fairly resistant, anyway).
Interesting Paul. The weight would suggest Ti. Would be good to hear how it stands up to a few burns. I have a new stove I am testing that is supposed to made from a titanium-stainless steel allow. I had not hear of that and am looking to confirm that it is. Let me know what you find out
I agree. That is why I posted for people to be aware of the claims. Now I am getting interested in trying a ti coated stove or one that claims to be made from Ti
I bought one last week from Amazon with same pouch, a stainless round alcohol or Esbit bowl, and a stainless steel collapsible Bellow tube for all for @$10. Unfortunately, it only stays together upside down with burner plate on top, as notches are too short and face the wrong direction to function with burner plate on bottom. I may use some roof flashing $.40 to improve design. Cheers
That is unfortunate. Quality control from China can be suspect especially when an item is unbranded so no one has to take responsibility. I hope you mod works for you. Thanks for commenting
Great little stove Mark. I wonder if you had the workshop and Materials what design for a packable stove would you come up with.. Titanium? Stainless? Box shape or round? MARK 1 STOVE! LOL. Great review and stove!
Would probably be the Mark 62 by the time I was finished😅. Honestly, the titanium Firebox is as close to a "best" design that I have found. Costly though. I have a few new ones I am testing that are really interesting. Videos coming soon
Great Video, nice small Stove
Glad you liked the video. The stove is a good value for sure. Thanks for commenting
for 1-2 person cooking should i buy this stove or Lixada Tower ?(or any budget wood stove below 220gr) thanks
I would choose the Lixada Tower over this budget. Easier set up and I think will last longer. Thanks for commenting
Can you try burning wood pellets in an alcohol stove? No one has done this. I would like to see how the alcohol stove would react.
Interesting idea. I will give it some thought although I don't see it working as there is no airflow through the bottom and the amount would be so small. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft True. But we won't know until we try. You'll be the first to do this Mark. I would love to see you make a video of it. :)
Another great video review. I’m going to add the larger size to my selection of stoves. Do you believe the larger size would have the same versatility? Thank you for posting this review.
The larger size does interest me as well. It should have all the same versatility. My only concern would be the durability as it appears to be made of the same thin steel. Let me know what you think of it. Thanks for commenting
Mark Young I will let you know about durability. My initial beliefs are corrosion will not be an issue and warping should be minimal as long as the stove isn’t over filled (slight bowing) before the fire is lit.
I ordered one yesterday but got this message from the seller""""The item you bought from our store is a new batch,and after we tested them,we found they are defective.We contacted the supplier but they told us that they don't have this item available now,and also don't know when the goods will be available again.""" I wonder if they are too thin and melt in the fire..... I also notice the price has gone up more than double.
Interesting. I think because they are unbranded there may be a number of makers. Some of them may not be doing a good job. Bit of a risk. I do like Aliexpress for the safety of knowing I can get some assistance if I am not happy. Thanks for commenting
About the price. Someone asked me if that was my fault😳. If it is maybe I should be getting a commission on sales 😅...not likely
It reminds me of the Savotta Happy Stove, but a slightly different design. Could be an original like you say!
I looked the Happy Stove and do some resemblance but not too close. Thanks for commenting
I lv this stove … u hit more details than I saw at first.. thanx ,,, THNX 4 UR TIME ….. tool to go along with it is recommended .. FR-1 defense … quality billow …up 2 30 inch billow … no need to reply .. me live and still breath in ALASKA.
Thanks for commenting
Thanks Mark
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Could you use the alcohol burner on the bottom plate. Put the cross pieces above, slide a small diameter pot inside the sides of the stove and resting on the cross pieces. It would give wind protection.
Absolutely, but it would have to be a narrow pot or cup. Thanks for commenting
Nice review Mark :-)
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark..hope all is well..you had a cylindrical german stainless steel folding stove..what was the name..i want to but ine if the price is reasonable..thanks..health n happiness
Good memory. After three attempts I finally have the video ready to release. Spoiler alert, it is a bit expensive. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft thx Marc but it's not this video..the stove in question is cylindrical and collapses to a flat shape..vut no worries since it probably exceeds my budget..be well my friend
@@martinpecheur8506 Yes, the Brennerle Hobo stove. Likely will release the video next Saturday
@@MarkYoungBushcraft 👍
@@MarkYoungBushcraft 90 euros..wow
Mark, as you were handling the stove I noticed your hands, specifically your fingernails. They were immaculate! You looked as if you had just received a manicure. Now I know that you're a rugged outdoorsman from Nova Scotia, so I'm sure your hands get plenty dirty from time to time. The fact that they were immaculate in this video leads me to one inescapable conclusion: you didn't want to offend anyone by not looking presentable to us, your UA-cam audience. That was very thoughtful of you, my friend.
Wow. No one has commented on my appearance before. In truth I do try and look half-decent for the camera. My hands often do get dirty from tree sap, etc. The gloves I wear to prevent injury help keep them clean as well. I keep my nails short to prevent splits as well as dirt. Thanks for commenting
9.9mm/12mm ????? It's very minuscule!!!! Maybe 9,9 cm and 12cm tall.
Yes, centimeters, not millimeters. Thanks for commenting
Mark!!! They are sold out!!!
So I have heard. There are quite a few other posting for the same stove. Unfortunately, I do not have a brand to help withe the search. Thanks for commenting
Nice field test of your New Stove, EBAY = Currently Out Of Stock ! Hi Gina, Scratch For Ruby ! ATB T God Bless
Hi Terry. Yes, at least that seller but there are many others.
Those interlocking stoves are a messy pain in the butt to put together, ( I threw mine out ), better off going for hinges 🙂
Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark ??
Derek Croft from Bridgewater
I'm putting up for Sale my Bushbox XL
I just got TOO many twig stoves as it is & I NEED to cut back.
I'm on my Local Buy & Sell but if you KNOW anyone up your way interested....let me know THANK YOU !!
Love your videos & KEEP em coming.
🤝👍😃
Hi Derek. Can you PM or email me with the link to the stove? Email address is under the about tab on my channel. Or you could contact me through FaceBook Messenger
Good review but I don't think this one is for me looks a bit fiddly compared to some of the sleeker but more expensive options out there and that I currently use.
Can't argue that the price is fare though. Sold out both sizes.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I agree, there are a number of much better stoves but as you say, they often cost much more as well. Thanks for commenting
I'd use small wooden cat pellets in the stove and alcohol hand jell to start the fire
I will likely experiment with wood pellets. They should work great in this stove. Thanks for commenting
Hello Mark, on Amazon Canada, it is called Kesoto 27$..free shipping be well..
Interesting. Bit expensive. Looking at their other products I think they are re-branding common items made in China as I see them under different brand names. Thanks for commenting John
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Yes Mark , I just ordered a medium size.. too good a deal.
Kinda looks like if used upside down you could grill on it.
Good suggestion, if a bit small. Thanks for commenting
Great video as always, Mark! This little stove looked interesting enough that I started looking online for it, but the links all had much higher prices than I was expecting (a lot higher than my Lixada hinged stove, for example). I know others have commented on problems finding it at a reasonable price, too. I finally found it on Amazon for about the same price as the Lixada, so I went ahead and ordered it, now waiting (impatiently!) for it to arrive. Here is the link to the Amazon listing I found: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082F51ZLZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Oops, never mind. I just looked on AliExpress this morning and they've got several new listings for the stove that are as good or better than the Amazon link I listed.
It would appear my video may have caused a run on the stove and a price increase. Go figure. I know I am not getting anything from it😆. It does take some searching to find a good price for it so I am glad you were able to do so. I will add your link to the video description. Thanks
Did this one have toxic fumes?
Not sure I understand the question. Simple stainless steel with no zinc, nickel, chrome or coatings. In any event, I would have no way of knowing if toxic gasses where released. Very little risk when used outdoors.
I ordered one of these out of curiosity. Took over six months to arrive without cross bars. Oh well!
Oh no. Unfortunate. I usually have to wait two months getting stuff from China and about three months since COVID but 6 months is crazy. Thanks for commenting
they make a titanium version too
I see some advertised at titanium but I also see they state stainless steel in the details. Would like to know for sure. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft i have ordered 1 so will keep you informed
@@MarkYoungBushcraft it is titanium way lighter than the little lixada hinged folding stove quite the pain to first put together lol very nice stove i like it very much
At around round 6 minutes you say MM but mean CM.
You are correct. my bad😆. Thanks for commenting
Cool little stove, very compact. you must be as bad as me for looking on Aliexpress for stuff! :)
Yes, I think I may have an obsession with finding things on Aliexpress 😅. Thanks for commenting
Both sizes out of stock.

www.aliexpress.com/item/33050205807.html Is this the same stove? Don't want to steer people wrong in case it's the model that doesn't stay together.
This appears to be the larger model. It is also quite a bot more expensive than I have seen in other listings. Thanks for commenting
