20 minutes clip for information which could be given within 30 seconds. 👎

It’s nice to see that someone finally got it right. I can get 40-50 minutes of burn time doing it this way without ever adding additional fuel.
Thank you.👍

This is the best explanation on the use of a wood gas stove I have seen thus far.

Thank you! I just baught one ,and now I have a good ground to get it working right from the  start! Great video! (Watching from Sweden)

Nice demonstration, I’ve been using this stove for years.  When I’m done and it has cooled I give it a proper wipe down and then load it up with twigs for the next trip.  Since I sometimes use this while driving to remote work sites it’s nice to have it ready to go for coffee breaks enroute.

No, there is a secondary combustion of the gases of the fuel. The extra oxygen added to the gasification of the wood is what makes it so hot. The air draw in through the sides of the combustion chamber actually cools the inner walls, not heats them up.

THANK YOU! So many places don't show it being used like this.

It's nice to see someone who actually loads the stove correctly! I love my Ohuhu stove. Simple yet efficient way to cook while camping. Spoiler... try loading it with wood pellets. Works great as well.

You can make these even a bit more efficient by wrapping the outside with a high temp insulator of some kind, as well as with some crinkled up (but reflattened mostly), heavy duty aluminum foil (with shiny side facing towards the inside). What this will do is speed up the gasification process and keep the internal temps hotter for longer, so that it will burn more clean and efficiently for longer. Obviously don't block the bottom air intake holes, but the rest of it should be covered.

Another tip/trick is to get a small piece of heavy duty aluminum foil, crinkle it up (but mostly re-flatten it), and set the stove on top of the shiny side. This will do two things, it will somewhat protect the ground from getting scorched, and it will direct the IR radiating downwards, upwards.  IR acts differently than convection energy exchange, which via a gas, tends to rise upward (actually, that is not quite accurate, and a major simplification of the process, but it will have to do for now), but IR is a type of light, and thus more wave like, that like a lightbulb giving off light, tends to radiate out in all directions (unless focused/reflected), including downwards.  Reflecting the IR going down, to go up, also will speed up the gasification process etc. And if you're using the stove to cook, it will help to speed up the cooking a bit. (Even better, cooking wise, would be to form the Al foil into a more parabolic shape).

Finally, someone who loads this stove properly!

I've seen pretty much every video i found with a gasifier and this is one in hundred dozens that actually gets it right. Congratulations good sir, you have a brain!

The dog has cleanup duty at the end.  Very efficient!

I’ve just ordered one of these and was looking for reviews and how-to videos. This looks fantastic and the fact you have a Labrador and are a veteran made me subscribe too!

I have one of these stoves (under a different brand name, but the same stove), and I never would have thought to pack it so full without this video. Subscribed. Thank you.

First video I’ve seen of someone actually filling the stove with a proper load of wood. Great job.

I love how you are speaking your dog's thoughts.

I'm 4 years late here but just thought I'd let you know that you rock :)

This is the first time I saw your videos I liked it I look forward to seeing your next one. Thank you.

Nice to see someone actually cooking something. Nice skillet 👍

It's good to see a video that actually gets the loading and lighting of this kind of wood gas stove right  for a change! Yes, you can do a bottom up burn like most other videos show for just about every wood burning twig stove, but the fires burn down very fast, and you would be constantly feeding them, (and often choking them) with sticks.
I have been using a Tomshoo wood gas stove (I chose it for the excellent ventilated pot stand) for close on four years, and where I can, I burn wood or wood pellets (I favour wood pellets just because  they burn for so long.)
When I cannot burn wood because of local restrictions, I still use the Tomshoo stove, but, I configure the fuel chamber to use my Trangia alcohol burner rather than wood. This works very well for me and I now always have the Trangia and fuel as a backup.
Best video on how to use a wood gas stove on YouTube! Thanks.
