Glad to see you up and about post-surgery, Wade.
My tip is to get a long narrow bag like one from the produce aisle at the grocery store or that a sandwich from Subway comes packed in.
Use the bag to pack the stove in before putting it in your pot. That will keep any of the stove’s soot residue from dirtying up the inside of your pot.
Yup, that would work great, thank you!👍🔥
Hey Wade. I do hope you are recovering well. As you are likely aware, I have played with that stove a fair amount and I agree it is not a true wood gas stove. Secondary combustion does occur at the ports but not pyrolysis. Still, when combined with the chimney affect, it is a fast, hot and smoke free burner. I do feel there is a bit too much airflow at the bottom but that can be restricted with a plate that has smaller holes. There are not many stoves cheaper than that one that performs as well. Great review my friend. Thanks for sharing
Hi Mark, ya I was thinking the same thing. Most people call it a gasifier but when compared to others I wouldn't. Thanks for your insight my friend🔥👍
Good to see your on the mend Wade. You can always think of a “Campfire Curry” if you need motivational thoughts. 👍👍😉
Mmmmmm sounds good brother👍
Good morning Wade. Next time try a mini Swedish torch in the Lixada. I think you’ll like the results. I hope you’re recovering well. Slainte!
I will, thanks for the tip! I'm coming along nicely, thanks for asking! 🔥👊🍻
I just came back to watch this video again after seeing you use it in a more recent video.
I definitely want to get the pot (you’ve sold me on that) BUT, I’m not sure about that 3 story stove combo.
I don’t like the idea of playing ‘stove jenga’ with a pot of boiling water on top.
Also, I already have the Bush Buddy stove and the Lite and Titan stoves from Solo Stove. All 3 are legit gasifier stoves. I’m not sure I need another stove lol
Yes there is a thing called "too many stoves"! 😂
Greetings from Malaysia. Paid an equivalent of a little less than USD20 for the exact same thing, not sure if it is Lixada branded. Used it twice, the pot ends up as a permanent feature in the kitchen since I seldom have the opportunity to go camping. Use it on the induction stove to make coffee. Love it so much.
I agree, it is a superb pot , very sturdy and functional! Thanks for watching👍
Good morning Wade..... I hope you are keeping well mate. Fingers crossed you recovery from your surgery in quick time mate 👍👍. I am waiting for a hospital date, but with all the lockdown and cancelations they say it could be a 12 month wait. Great looking stove and it worked a treat. It is great to see you are keeping well Wade... stay safe, all the best, Mark :) :)
Hi Mark, sorry to hear that brother. I know I was lucky to get in to a surgeon in only 6 months, a year seems excessive. Hope all turns out for you, I miss your videos, always good to wake up to a Mark Bailey video in my notifications👊🍻
👍👍Thanks for bringing this option to our attention , recover soon Wade👍👍👌✌🙏😁
Thanks buddy, take care👊
Great vid once again Wade ! I will have a look at this Luxata stove . Take care !
Hi Claude, thanks a lot buddy👊🔥
@@Woodswalker1965 Hey Wade, got the stove today, I will try it out this wknd and let you know my first impression.( so far looks great !) I will probably use it with my Pathfinder kit vs the actual bowl.Tks for the suggestion bro ! -Claude
Have fun with that buddy!
Pack the burn chamber below the side air holes all the way filled, and this way you'll have a burn for roughly fifteen minutes without having to constantly feed it.
Excellent tip, thank you my friend👍
Great video 👍👍 Wade. Just bought the Toaks combo wood stove 1100ml lid and 450ml cup. Test tomorrow morning, coffee ☕.
That’s excellent, you will love it👍☕️
You're a good dude..new subscribers here mate...all the way from tropical North Australia
I appreciate it brother, hope you enjoy the content🍻👊
I know that wood doesn't burn anywhere near the ignition temperature for titanium, but to this day I still hesitate to put a flame near it.
I've had a titanium drill bit go up once before and it wasn't pretty, like magnesium on steroids, a total nightmare to put out with a bucket of sand.
Thankfully I was unhurt, but I'd definitely choose the cheap stainless steel stove in a heartbeat after that experience.
Edit: just bought a Lixada after watching this! I'm going to see if I can make a little locking door for it as an 'improvement', but if it doesn't work no loss, I know it works fine without.
That's quite an experience, I can see why you avoid titanium!🔥
Enjoy the stove my friend👍
Looks like another great option when a quick brew is needed in the woods !
Or a quick noodle break!
@@Woodswalker1965 I am weak: I just ordered a set on ebay for 45 Cad. Thanks for the heads up on a pretty sweet deal
Let me know how you like it 👍
Wade, good to see you back in video production! Looks like you are doing well! Stay safe buddy!
Thanks Kevin, take care my friend!🍻
Great to see somebody finally saying good things about the Lixada stainless steel wood burner. I love mine to death, and it nests like a champ inside my GSI Pinnacle cook pot. I also like to throw in with that my "plan B" stove which is a fancy feast stove and a 4 oz bottle of fondue fuel and wind screen. Pro tip: any wood gas camp stove can be used as a TLUD (top lit updraft). What I do is load the stove completely, placing fatter twigs on the bottom. Once the burn chamber is fully loaded, I shred a small handful of birch bark on top and shower it with sparks from my fire steel. The whole thing takes off like a house on fire. After your done doing whatever cooking needs to get done, I like to keep the stove going as a mini camp fire (because I'm a hopeless pyromaniac). At this point you can throw in some really fat branches. The thing will burn for hours if you have the fuel on hand. Loverly piece of kit. Cheers from Montreal QC (new subscriber)
Hey Jeff thanks for watching and for the sub👍 I see you also share my love of the Fancy Feast stove as well! Awesome little burner, efficient and quiet! Hope you like future content neighbour !
Great video Wade! I'm rolling with the Emberlit UL Titanium stove (225g)
Sweet stuff brother. Thanks for stopping by 👍🔥
Wishing you a full recovery! Getting out and active will help. Thats a pretty wood structure in the background there Wade, love that stain color. Looks like a carport and a small cabin or something.
Thanks Stan. That's my garden shed and a portion of my back deck.
Western Red Cedar and Wilkens stain.
@@Woodswalker1965 ahh well it's beautiful
I have a Lixada stove. Twig fuel as well. It’s a different style than this one you showed. But very budget friendly. Yeah it is a put together every time you use it and not the easiest. But for the price. I’m willing to work with it. This stove looks like a great value as well. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. There are so many great options out there for sure!👍👍
Hi Wade, hope your recovery is going well! I have the larger Toaks and the Tomshoo that is similar to the Lixada. As you mentioned they’re high stoves and can be tippy. For the Toaks, you really need to put it on a flat surface (plate or tent pegs) in order to ensure the air flow coming from the bottom . It’s less of an issue with the Tomshoo as bottom part of the stove is sitting higher. They’re both great stoves. The Tomshoo was like 28$ on AliExpress.
I would like to thank you for demonstrating and sharing the Lixida wood stove with us . 😉✌️👍
Thanks for watching Ricardo, lots of options out there we just need to find one that works the best for us. Take care my friend👍🔥
Great vid ,I hope you feel better soon and get back to your beloved woods ready for springtime. 👍
I'll be out and about very soon!😉
Great video mate thanks so much....looks like a value budget stove....thanks for showing..very helpful,!
Thanks Wade much appreciated!👍
This combo, i find to be the best value stove+pot. Only thing better would be a titanium Version and an actual zebra billy pot, which is stupidly versatile. I store this combo with an alcohol stove and fuel inside, a kindling bundle, a lighter and firestarter Vaseline cotton balls in a bag. Only problem is i gotta be careful not to out the plastic stuff inside while it's still hot, but I got used to in it's the first thing out of the pack and the last one in. As soon as I choose my spot I will have grabbed a twig or two on the way, take out the stove and light a fire inside to preheat it if I'm doing a lot of cooking, or just preload it immediately, right over the feeding port and light a fire on top of that.
Then I unpack my stuff, set up my hammock which takes me little over 2 minutes, because I've optimized that as well. Lay a groundsheet and move the fire and pot right next to it and sit in my hammock while i prep ingredients. I can also put the stove under my tarp of it's raining but that'll leave a smell on nylon (not so much of the rattly plastic ones)
The stove heats up while i get my ingredients into the pot for cooking and i set it and forget it after the fire has descended to the gasifying burn chamber (burns for a while if you make a top down fire).
On this combo i most often make a one pot stew. If i have my zebra billy can I'll make some rice in bottom and stew veggies on the top. Once that's done i lay the veggies on top so i free up my frying pan for either meat or eggs.
These stackable stoves get tippy when empty so i use tent pegs in the bottom vents to hold them down.
Remember to always clear vegetation off of the floor so it doesn't set it on fire. Still digging a cathole for the ashes and coals is my preference.
These are great for grilling thin slices of meat too cuz they always leave a bunch of coals on the bottom, so you can colapse the stove, and just use that and lay the meat on a mesh to be grilled, using lingering heat + coals to cook it nicely, or rewarm precooked food. If i don't need to cook anything other than the pot and pan I'll kill the coal's and save them for next time.
This stove is better than the solo stoves imho cuz it can be disassembled, and used in other ways as I've just explained.
Although if I intend on cooking for two meals and store half I'll use my zebra billy pot and a flat folding stove instead, so i can cook, store leftovers and pack away the stove anyway, otherwise this stove will take up more space (unless i bring the aforementioned alcohol stove configuration)
That was a full blown essay XD
This is my thru hiking stove, as you might have guessed. I'm as passionate about the gear as the wilderness.
Excellent reply with some great tips and insights, thank you!👍
Great to hear your recovery is going well. That appears to be a great budget stove. It burns pretty well and would be a great option for car camping especially. Stay on the mend my friend and thanks for sharing!
Thanks bud👍
I got that stove and I like it. It's alittle unstable but perfectly functional. The fuel port is also nice when compared to stoves that require taking the pot off.
Thanks for watching, it's a good unit!🔥👍
Awesome demo and review brother. Way to show off an alternative possible buy as mentioned. For today's day and age, the price is very affordable. Great upload brother.
Now, in regards to your recovery bud. Be sure to see to that. The sooner you reach that 100%, the better. The BC Community and woods will be waiting on you. Take care brother. 👍🏼🤠
Thanks bro, I sincerely appreciate that. Always great hear from you. Take care👊🔥🤙
Hi Wade
Very cool stove indeed for the value.
Glad the hear your on the mend, get well soon.
Cheers brother 👌
Take care Paul!👍
Great video Wade !!
Cool stove !!
Glad your recovery is going well 👍👍👍
Hey Tim, thanks bud!👍
Great video as usual. I find myself in love with stoves. I probably have 15 of them and the collection won't stop. Just wish I had more time to use them all! Thanks for sharing Wade.
They are pretty handy at times, I'd love to see all 15 🔥 at once lol! Take care buddy 👍
Lixada also makes a titanium version of this stove, which I have. I also have the small version of the Toaks stove, and yes, my Lixada titanium stove is a gasifyer stove. It burns very efficiently with very little to no smoke. The reason I got the Lixada stove is I was looking for a stove that would provide a more stable platform for my pots. The titanium version of the Lixada stove sells for only $39.99 U.S. on Amazon and given it's much larger size and wider stance it's much more stable than my Toaks.
Thanks for watching and for the info my friend! 👍🔥
I get bored hearing how many minutes a stove takes to boil water. What I’m doing in camp is relaxing. If it takes 5 minutes instead of 2 minutes - what the heck was I going to do in that 3 minutes anyway. Maybe I was talking, having a cup of tea, or watering down a local tree? Heck, in those kinds of activity, I’d prefer a bit more time. Oh well, just me.
Most of the time, there’s no net to boil it anyway, and we have to sit and wait a few minutes for the way-too-hot-to-drink-anyway coffee or tea or cocoa. There went the time we saved!
Thanks for the video Wade. I'm actually looking for something like this at the moment. Well done!
Thanks for watching, I hope that it helped!
Great review Wade, hope you are well on the mend. I agree, not a fan of tall narrow twig stoves, but I find the cylindrical design and depth really is optimal for a great burn.
Hi David, I agree it's strength is also it's weakness. Take care buddy!
Hi Wade, i want to wish you a good and fast recovery first. Thanks for the video, i like those tower-style stoves. In Germany i think its best to use kind of nearly stealth stoves cause its not allowed to do campfires or even stovefires, accept at special locations. Some rangers probably would accept it if its really small and safe but you never know. So my gears are very tiny ones. Trangia, also a little gasburner and a little stove like your firebox nano. But a little cheaper brand. Thumbs up Wade 👍👍👍
Hey buddy thanks for watching! It's great to get out even without a campfire. Have fun my friend👊
Great Bang For Your Buck, Wade ! Prayers For A Quick Recovery, Friend ! ATB T God Bless
Thank you Terry🙏
Great video man. Even at the mid $50 range it is still a good deal. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a quick recovery from the surgery.
Thanks buddy , I appreciate that!👍
Great review Wade! Glad to see your on the mend and outside in your element! I’ve been using the Solostove and I’m happy with it.... but I like that pot and lid/pan ! Look forward to seeing your next adventure!
The Solo is a great stove for sure, enjoy brother🔥🌲🍻
hope youre feeling better soon!
Thank you, I am already!!👍👍
Thanks. Looks great and worked great. Will check it out on eBay. Best of success with the operation recovery.
Thanks a lot Jeff!👊
Good to see you after your surgery. Hope you recover nicely. I have the toaks which I like except I find it a bit too tall just like the lixada
Hi Cliff, ya you're right, stable level ground is definitely required!👍🔥👊
Thanks for comparing the less expensive stuff,
I've been using Stanley gear from Walmart. Use what you can afford and get out in the woods.
You're welcome! Stanley make some excellent gear. You're absolutely right, the gear doesn't matter at all, just get out in the woods!
I did a budget bushcraft clothing and budget gear video a while back if you want to check it out sometime.👍
Hope you are healing well Wade. I've been considering one of these types of stove, though I do currently have a new folding stove I've yet to test. Hope you recover soon and take care mate 👍🙂
Hey Mike much appreciated Mate👍👊🔥🌲
I have the lixada wood gasifier and that really has to be babysat, but very cheap and effective once going. Now I just stick with the good old fire box lol
It's pretty hard to beat the Firebox stove🔥👍🔥
Cool looking set! Glad your up and about 🤠
Thanks my friend!👍🔥🌲
Hi Wade, Great vid! I use my large Toaks wood burner with the 1100ml pot when I want a light option. They work great but expensive. Cheers, Gary
The Toaks is awesome, pretty sure I bought mine from you!👍😉
I love playing with the twig stoves! hope you are on the mend...
Im doing well Sean, thanks! Ya these little stoves are fun to use aren't they?🔥
thanks - was wondering how that burned. I have the Lixada gasifier unit - one piece with a fitted pot stand. very easy to use - looks like my SOLO patio campfire unit but miniaturized, so isn't what might be called a space-saving unit and it too is stainless so comes with the weight - however, when doing a short day hike or wanting to cook a meal other than dehydrated without lugging fuel (trade-offs) I like it.
this unit with the inclusion of pot and top bowl/lid/pan and all nestled together appears to take an equal amount of space or maybe even less. That in my mind would make it a more viable option for a day hike/overnighter and/or multi-day as well because wouldn't need additional space for my cook pot etc. on the overnighter/multi-day hmmmmm 🤔
I like nesting items, real space savers👍🔥
Thank for your review 🌲
I appreciate your comment, thank you!👍👍
Another great review 👍 Get well soon fella 🤞🤞
Thanks Rob, I'm well on my way!👊
Hello Wade. Hope your recovery goes well and you get back to 100% soon. Thanks for sharing your video on the stoves. I've never been around titanium products. Is the service life of the stove limited because of the material it's made of or is it a life time purchase?
Thanks a lot Jason.👊
I've not heard of any long term issues with titanium, I'm sure a titanium stove will last for may years. There are certainly significant weight advantages to be had , but at a price. Take care
Nice review !
Thanks bro, it's a keeper👍
Get better fast, friend!!🤗✌️♥️
Thank you so much!👍
I have the Lixada stove in titanium and find it a much better twig stove than the Toaks. For me, it just burns better.
Thanks for watching and for the input, that's interesting!👍🔥
Ramen sounds great man!
Can't beat a cheap and cheerful bowl of Ramen🍜
The fuel needs to be below the preheated air outlets to be a true gasifier, these stoves seem to be just an overloaded gasifier for no reason.
I have the same stove,bought it on Amazon two years ago for $17 dollars.Yes it is a little top heavy so be careful .You can use tent pegs to anchor it to the ground ....
Thanks for the insights and for watching.!👍
Thanks Wade. Great stove.
Thanks for watching👍
You absolutely do NOT need to babysit these stoves. If you load and light it properly, they'll boil water on the first go.
Well done vid good review👍
Thank you for watching and for commenting, it's very much appreciated!
Good review.
Thank you very much!🔥
Thank for looking out for us "fixed income" fans! Nice in-between size wood stove. Would love to see a Swedish style burn in that stove. I think it would burn hot for a long time? Fan from Florida.
I think you're right about the Swedish torch!🔥
I've already tied my pack to the Kelly Kettle, but either of these would do well, depending on budget.
The Kelly Kettle looks like a awesome stove🔥 Thanks for watching!
Hi Wade, great video as usual! I hope your recovery goes well. Can I ask, what is your favourite twig stove regardless of price?
Thank you!
I would say my Firebox Gen 2 is my favorite to use. A bit on the heavy side but it's very versatile. Next would be my Brennerle Stove.🔥 Both are great!
You can get the Gen2 Firebox in Titanium now. Cuts the weight down to a little over a pound (17.5 oz).
Yup, it's a great option👍Thanks bud!
Thank you.
You're very welcome, I appreciate your support!👍
Lixada makes Titanium version of that now.
Awesome, thank you!👍
You take care my friend 😊🇺🇸🔪🔥🌲
Отличный обзор ! Спасибо - за видео . ))
Thank you very much my friend!👍
Take it easy pal👍🏻🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks, you too my friend!
I keep coming back to this video to look at the Lixada pot/stove combo.
I have questions…
Do you still use it and if so, how frequently compared to other stoves you own?
If you lost or misplaced this set up, would you buy another one?
On a scale of 1-5 stars, what do you give it today
I can get the pot and stove set on Amazon for $32.99USD and the pot alone is $17.99USD.
I know I’m going to get the pot but is the stove worth the extra $15 ?
Thanks Wade
Hi Alan, good question. It's a great stove, I like the way it nests, that's a big plus for me. It's your decision but I think it's a great deal even though I only use it occasionally. If you're a gear junkie... you need it, if you're not a gear junkie you don't lol. Thanks for watching👍🔥
Toaks Titanium small wood burning stove...can this stove be used with out adding the top part and using a separate pot stand? Would you try it...and make a video of you doing it...
Ill try to demo that!
Nice vid. I own some steel stuff and some titanium. If value equals cost times utility, steel is much much better value. An extra half pound for most people isn’t going to make much difference. For the $100 you saved you can buy more crap..., oops, sorry, meant useful stuff.
Haha yes more "usefull stuff" is right! Thanks for watching!
What's raman
It’s a rice noodle normally associated with Asian cuisine. Very tasty !
bonjour so which one is the best ?
The both work well, one is just lighter. If you want lighter go for the titanium version, if weight doesn’t matter the Stainless version is superb!
Merci!👊
Merci 👍
HEYOOOOO!
HEYOOOOOOO my friend👊
THE STOVE IS DESIGNED TO BURN FROM THE TOP DOWN
From my experience it works either way. Thanks for watching👍
Well of course it's going to feel awkward feeding a front-loading wood-burning stove from behind. I was so sure you were going to set your beard on fire.
That would be even more awkward😁🔥
