Camping Stove, Ohuhu Camp Stove Wood Burning Stove Stainless Steel Stoves Mini Portable Stove for Camping Picnic BBQ Backpacking Hiking Survival Emergency Cooking Outdoor with Grill Grid Carry Bag

I bought this stove originally 6 years ago (different name, same cheap PRC made stove) and also bought a couple Solo Stoves (Lite and the Titan).First of all I hate to give this 5 stars as it is made in PRC. But have to give this stove its props. In many buses and circumstances it is better than the Solo stove which costs 3-4x more. Note, not in all ways though.If I am trying to hike light as possible Solo Stove lite can have an edge as it is a bit lighter though it is bulkier. But this bill is offset in that a solo stove nestles perfectly in a pot. This stove is hard to nestle into anything but a Toak titanium 1100 pot set in which it fits perfectly. Bulky size but good fit where my solo stove fits into things like my Snow Peak 1400 Trek which is a hit smaller.Next edge to Solo stove, you will not break it! This stove is also solid but you just have to be careful of the 3 pot holder arms. When packed they won’t break off. But when using it just take care w them. Again they aren’t flimsy but there is that potential. Note the pivot arms on the Ohuhu allows you to use large pots than the Solo stove. Also you can put the 3 arms in the full open position for most pots and cups or you can place them all fully upright and flat to do smaller cups and it does hold.Now here is where the Ohuhu outshines the solo stove light and is equal to the Solo Titan. It just burns wood way better. The increased chamber size allows better air circulation and thus better burning fires. You can even burn semi wet wood wood in here once it gets going! Of course need to start it with a bit of dry material, but once this wood stove gets going the gasifying effect burns most anything you throw in it! Note also looked at the Toak titanium stove but didn’t bother buying it as I know comparing the solo lite to the Ohuhu/solo Titan the small diameter and size will not allow full air gasification. Size does matter for gasification!Next the Solo Lite and Titan is a thing of beauty. This is not quite as elegant but does the exact same job maybe better. Like comparing a Jaguar XK coup to a Nissan/Datsun Z car. Both do the same job but one is 1/4th the price. But…a big but…..this stove will also keep you warm in many low temperatures as a warming fire. The solo stove not as much as smaller. Of course you would have to tend this fire a bit as a warming fire but if you know how to work this stove it can roar for 20-40 minutes without having to reload it!Finally the Solo Stove has an easy loading port cutaway for loading wood. This is nice. Ohuhu you just have to life your pot to put more wood in. But then again if you load this stove right you should not have to load more fuel while cooking.So how to load and this is where folks make a mistake. You must load it too down. Think of an upside down fire. Load big Chuck or cut tree limb rounds at the bottom. Smaller and kindling at the top. The gasification burns top down. I like to cut about 1” dis by 2-3” wood for the bottom and stack it in. This will burn a good 30 minutes before reload.In the end either wood stove is great as you are not carrying fuel w you. Just find it on the forest floor. Note, I also if wet out bring a few wood stove pellets or other just to start a fire up before using the semi wet stuff. But if it’s not a totally rain soaked forest floor anything should burn easily in this stove.Finally the alcohol tray/stove it comes with works just fine. But it’s better to get yourself a Trangia or Solo Stove alcohol stove to nest inside of this for a wet weather backup since they can carry their own fuel no need for extra fuel bottles. The tray/bowl style alcohol stove that comes w it though feather light uses about 1.25 Oz of alcohol to bowl a cup of water. A typical Trangia stove is about .75 OZ to boil a cup.I just bought this stove again as an extra to keep full time in my Jeep for emergencies. Pretty much same cheap stove I bought 6 years ago, but the quality did improve some.For $19, survival or long hunt/hike situation where you can’t carry all the fuel you need this does the job! The fact it also can work as a heater for 30-40 minute stretches without reload is a huge bonus. The fact this is $22 as of this writing. Can’t go wrong. If debating between this and Solo, they both are awesome. Just one is a Jaguar one is a Datsun 280Z. Can’t go wrong w either. Solo is just a tad more sturdy.

Man, I like this little stove! Wife too...A must to learn how to place fuel in chamber for efficient burn -- twigs must be vertical, not random.Got the 10 panel wind screen too...May get another one! His n Hers!Very Compact... Can fit lighter n small bag of cotton/vasaline balls in cavity -- fero rod doesn't fit...Don't think you will be disappointed...try it, you'll like it

we wanted it to heat coffee early in the morning but found we couldn't get as much heat as needed to heat quickly

This a great little stove! It's well made and good quality. I bought a grill also I bought an ash dish using a stainless steel cat dishh as my stove came with a small dish for using alcohol fuel .I prefer using wood. All parts are easy to assemble and teardown and packing is easy to do. It cooks well also. I. I highly recommend.

Ohuhu Portable Wood Burning Camping Stove vs. Trangia alcohol system vs. BioLite CampStoveI own both a Ohuhu and a Trangia stoves.I am going to review the Ohuhu, and compare it to the very popular Trangia and the new BioLite CampStove.First the Ohuhu es exactly as you can see it in the pictures.Stainless steel, seems to be electro welded, and pretty light.The weakest points are the three moving parts. The triangles where the pot rests during cooking. You need to be a little careful with those and I guess that over time those are going to be the parts that will break.The rest, will give you no trouble during the regular usage. They can be dropped and take the usual abuse and still will work, but to achieve the lightness they are not built like a tank.The parts assemble and stay together easily. Takes less than ten seconds to put together or disassemble. It feels safe, and reasonably cool to the touch even during operation. You can light a fire and move it around if needed. I can do it with my bare hands, but it will be safer to use some sturdy gloves for insulation.The Ohuhu comes with a nice little net for storage, that also seems to be just perfect to do the job.To start a fire just assemble the Ohuhu gather some tinder, dry leaves or paper, put them in the stove and add a handful of little twigs. Set the on fire and enjoy. The rocket stove design takes care of the rest, creating the air circulation you need. As the fire grows, add a few more wood and the flames will grow bigger and bigger as the gassification takes place (you can see the fire coming out of the upper holes like in you kitchen stove).If you have any trouble getting the fire going, you can just carefully lift the stove and blow from underneath to increase the oxygen flow until it can work on its own.How fast can it boil a pot of water?Well, it depends. It depends on the amount and kind of wood you use, how big the pot, and how cold the water is to begging with... In my case it tends to be around 10 to 15 minutes. If you are looking at it it seems like a long time, but if you start doing something else, you'll realize that it is already boiling before you know it.After burning, it is actually pretty clean. You will have to wash your pots, but the Ohuhu packs neatly again in its net, and with a quick wiping will be clean enough so it doesn't make a mess in your bag.So to compare it to the Trangia Alcohol stove:ADVANTAGES:The Ohuhu uses wood. You can usually find it everywhere for free. I love the ritual and the smell of it. If you are going to be flying, you can't take alcohol in your suitcase, so you would have to find it at your destination if you are taking the Trangia.With alcohol, you either take too much with you, having to carry that extra weight, or you don't take enough, risking running out of it too soon.The Ohuhu also can work with solid alcohol tablets, so you could carry a couple of those just in case if you want to.Also, the Trangia has a rubber gasket to ensure a good seal, that tends to get old or even burn, and at least in my case has created a leak in my backpack. Not only making a huge mess with my gear, but also leaving me without fuel when I needed it the most...DISADVANTAGESThe Trangia is more robust. The little burner is almost indestructible.The alcohol burn is more consistent and reliable.You may have a hard time looking for dry enough wood if the weather is rainy. Alcohol is a sure fire.The wood tends to smoke more, so you can't cook inside with the Ohuhu, while with the Trangia I have done it under the extension of my tent (watch out for fire hazards!!!!)The alcohol also burns very clean, while the wood tends to make a mess on the pots and pans. You are going to need some still wool or fine sand to clean your pots after using them on any wood fire.(If you use the Ohuhu with solid alcohol tablets you wouldn't have any of the wood burning "disadvantages" but it feels that the Ohuhu's strong point or most common use is not going to be as an alcohol burner, but as a wood stove, hence my review comments)COMPARE TO BIOLITEThe Ohuhu is WAY LIGHTER (and cheaper). Forget about carrying a Biolite if you are backpacking.Both are rocket stoves. The BioLite uses the thermo generator to feed a little fan that keeps the oxygen flowing. To me this is just another part that can break or give problems. As I have described, you can just pick the Ohuhu up and blow if you need bigger flames. The Biolite is definitely safer if you can afford the extra weight and cash, but you can achieve the same effect.Another advantage of the Biolite is that you can generate electricity to charge your electronics.Again, I prefer to carry a couple of extra batteries with me. They are lighter, and I can use them wile walking if needed. The chargers in the BioLite have also given trouble to some users. My $10 batteries, are just that, $10, and I can find a new one in most gas stations...So the BioLite is cool. Looks and feels great, and makes a beautiful toy. However, if more than camping you are actually hiking and backpacking, the Ohuhu may be a cheaper and lighter option for you.

Super lightweight. Great little camping stove. Would totally recommend it. Zips into a little bag.
