- The full size Emberlit stove is a well known solid performer. It is available in both stainless steel as well as titanium and made in the USA. A little less well known is the Emberlit Fireant. A smaller wood stove but still extremely capable. In this video I test out the Fireant in titanium

The Titanium FireAnt weighs about as much as a deck of playing cards. As you said; basically nothing. Great video!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting
I like the Firebox Stove Nano for this application, because its setup is super easy & fast. It is heavier than the Ant, but far easier to use. I looked at the Ant, watching other folks videos, and didn't like the hassle to put it together. But other than that, it is a great little stove. I really like stick/twig stoves. I have 5 different ones; but Firebox and Kelly are my favorites. Thanks for this thorough demo on the Ant.
I own and enjoy using the SS Nano as well. I will do a comparison at some point. I have the KK Trekker I will be doing a review on also. Great stoves for sure. Thanks for commenting
Hi James. I use my nano on car camping trips partnered with the trangia and of course the fire ring all other cooking times. The trangia works great in the nano. My goto for backpacking is of course the solo lite with trangia backup. I know. The solo stove is from the bush buddy. The fire in the solo stove just takes right off very quickly. Great discussion. Take care
Wow, I had a whole playlist hoping to find what I needed to know. Yours was the first and answered it 10 minutes in! Awesome! I want to cook things to a boil and then simmer. So I think the regular Trangia Spirit Stove is for me. I really appreciate you showing us that. This is still a super cool device if you won't need to simmer very often.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
I have the full size Emberlit and have been debating on getting the Fire Ant for over a year, because of the price and the fact that I have a few Firebox Nano's, which is super simple to setup for use. Cool that Mikhail sent you one. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Hey Mark. Good to hear from you. I have the Nano in SS. I think if I was an ultra light guy I would go with the Fireant otherwise I would be happy just to have the Nano only. I will do a comparison at some point. Thanks for commenting
Great tiny outdoors wood cooker! Thank you for posting.
It truly is. Thanks for commenting
Another great presentation Mark. Methinks you could be the front man on the shopping channel for outdoorsman gear. They would pay you a fortune!!
Many Thanks.
It could be a third career for me😆. Thanks for commenting
That is a nice size for a compact twig stove. I personally prefer to use the fuller sized twig stoves until it comes time to pack them. They can be HEAVY. A quality titanium stove such as this one would be great to have for everyday carry in the pack. It seems to be big enough to be useful but yet extremely lite weight.
Hi Lonnie. I also prefer full size stoves most of the time. There is something special about this little one that makes it fun to use and very effective for a quick boil-up for tea or coffee or even a meal. Most small stove don't deliver a lot of heat and require a lot of feeding. With the top-down burn this one can do the job with a single load. As you say, you could pack this away in a small kit as a backup. Thanks for commenting
Thanks Mark. I have it and I love it. Super light and compact, and no need to carry fuel.
Right on. Great design. Thanks for commenting
You never can get too many wood burning stove reviews.fron Marc. Thank you sir!
You are most welcome. I will see if I can get a few more video made. Thanks for commenting
Your Lixada makes a Ti stove in 3 sizes all reasonably priced!!! There is just no reason for Canada to have these ridiculous prices. I don't mind paying the difference in money value or a reasonable profit margin but when things are 100 % more it really pushes me to buy from the Chinese sellers. Always good stuff Mark!!
We are getting gouged for sure. I don't know if the small Lixada in titanium is the same size as the Fireant but will have a look at it to see. Thanks for commenting
Love your vids. I've had this stove 4 or 5 years now and love it. I ditched the esbit plate, don't like esbit blocks, use trangia when not using wood. I leave front plate off put base plate & trangia in then front plate, 1side goes right in then a flex/twist motion goes right together. Lately been leaving front plate off when using trangia so I can use the simmer lid. I tie a piece of bank line around the bottom of stove and tie another piece just under trangia other wise stove falls apart when you put pan on. But allows you to use simmer lid fully. Need to try top down burn I'm constantly feeding to get to boil. Thanks again for all the info you share.
Interesting adaptation on using the Trangia. I must give that a try. I think you will like top down burn. Thanks for commenting
great video Mark. I've been using the emberlit original and fire ant in my kit for years. they have never let me down. one tool I added was an Epiphany outdoors pocket below. great combo for damp wood
Glad you liked the video. I also carry a DIY pocket bellows. It has come in handy on a number of occasions. Thanks for commenting
A nice stove and review there Mark, looking like great weather, plus lots of bugs. I'm not too worried about weight, as I don't go backpacking, happy with my Lixada. Thanks again Mark 👍😃
Can't go wrong with the little Lixada. Weather was nice for a few days the got cold again. Summer is slow coming this year. Thanks for commenting
If only Ikea would introduce a cutlery holder in titanium. ATB
That would be perfect. Thanks for commenting
Looks like a winner !! Thank you for sharing this. Nice job Emberlit.
It is a great little stove for sure. Thanks for commenting
Mark, I agree with all you mention in the video. I do own the Firebox Nano folding stove which does everything the Fireant does and don’t have to worry about assembly. Simmering is less limited on the Nano than on the Fireant, however pot supports still limit the simmering adjustments, even in the Nano. Besides wood, wood pellets, charcoal, alcohol, hexamine tablets, I am also able to use the Trangia gas burner in the Nano when fire bans are declared. I don’t know if the FireAnt is capable of that. I will say though, the FireAnt is worth considering if you don’t already have a lightweight twig stove. Thank you for the video, Mark!
I don't know if the Trangia gas burner will fit but I will look into that. I own a Nano as well that I really enjoy using. I will be comparing the two at some point. My Nano is SS so ir is quite a bit heavier than the Fireant. Thanks for commenting
This is how it is done: czcams.com/video/KA1fDzo-Kkk/video.html It didn’t take me long to set up the gas burner in my nano and screw on the canister.
Dear Emberlit people:yes, this works. When I have saved up the cash, a Fireant with be the fourth piece of kit I buy after watching Marks videos.
Thank you Mark for the Review always well done. Take care bud..
You are most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Great review, Mark as always. A guy would have to fab up some crossbars (like you did on your other stove) to heat a pot or mug smaller than 750ML, which is a common situation.
I do have a couple of metal mugs and SS water bottles smaller in diameter than the 750ml pot but don't often put them over heat. I guess if I wanted to I could use by DIY grill to support them. the 750ml pot is the same diameter as the GSI Glacier bottle-cup. Thanks for commenting
My choice is the Trail Designs titanium SIDEWINDER Caldera Cone with the Inferno gassier wood burning insert. Very light and much hotter than non-gasifier stoves. The stove and insert, except for the bottom screen, roll up compactly to fit into a men's dress sock size. COMPARE the Sidewinder to the Emberlit and see what you think.
The Sidewinder with Inferno insert (an inverted short ti cone on a 1/4" mesh screen) has the advantage of having the SPECIALLY MATED pot sit partially down inside the cone for much better heat retention. My mating pot is a 3 cup Open Country aluminum pot for solo cooking. It has a hard anodized interior finish.
Also, unlike the Canadian Bush Buddy gassifier stove, the Sidewinder and larger Tri-Ti cone stove can accommodate larger sticks which means you can leave the stove for up to 5 minutes without having to constantly feed it. Of course hardwoods like oak make for a longer burning fire and hotter coals.
I am very interested in the Sidewinder and am considering investing. I would love to have an original Bush Buddy (being a Canadian of course) but was gifted a Solo Lite which is almost a clone of the Bush Buddy. Thanks for commenting
Mark , thanks for sharing, always excellent content. Atb
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting
Thank you!
You are most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Hi... thanks for all your reviews and smal tricks... have you seen THE HONEY STOVE TI...? I have a cut down version of the IKEA... not bad, but I'm looking for something new for myself.....and stumbled upon the honey stove... it's looking very nice and customizable
I have looked at the Honey Stove a few times. I have not bought it yet but likely will. I am currently testing and about to do a video on a stove that a lot in common but has more options. It is the FlexFire from Germany. I have an intro video on it as well. Thanks for commenting
Designed very well!!!
I agree. Thanks for commenting
Good review and great piece of kit, However I opted for the stainless steel, I just find stainless to be more robust IMO. I was so impressed with it and its functionality in terms of wood/solid fuel/and alcohol.. I ended up buying a second one.. The cases like you say aren't trust worthy, I had Tuffpossum gear make me some 500d codura pouches. Thanks Mark enjoy your humpday buddy
Glad I could help you get through the week😆. I would be very happy to own the SS version. So far the ti version is standing up but is warping a little bit. Thanks for commenting
Nice stove, THX
I really like it. Thanks for commenting
Dollar For Dollar That's well worth the investment for some, Thanks, Mark ! Be Well, Friend ! ATB T God Bless
I believe it is as well. Thanks for commenting Terry
Your reviews are seamless...do you ever need to edit, or are you just that comfortable talking?! Great vid...we use the jet boil, but this would be a good backup! If this would be your THIRD career, I’d say third time IS the charm! 👍👏🤝ATB
LOL... I am fairly comfortable speaking when I feel I know my subject matter. Takes a lot of time getting ready for a video or any presentation. I guess I put the work in preparation to make it look easy. Even so, I do have to edit some. Thanks for your kind words
Mark Young btw...if you don’t mind answering...what were your previous two careers? I’m guessing an Educator? (That was my former life!) Thnx!
@@FollowingTheAgees I don't mind you asking at all. I was a paramedic for 15 years and a police officer for 36. I do (do) public education but was not a professional educator
Mark Young both Sainthood Professions! Public Service is a tough gig😉👍👏
I do use lixada... is good enough for me.
The little Lixada is a great stove. Was my go-to mini stove for quite a while. If I did not have so many stoves to test it still would be. Thanks for commenting
Fireant and toaks pot👍.
Yes, great combo. Thanks for commenting
Unfortunately you spilled all the fuel in your trangia getting it in the stove and now the ground is soaked with a flammable liquid and you have to find twigs to boil your billy - the weight is breathtaking but multi fuel needs a bit more thought. IMHO. PS what about side by side with a Nano?
I am planning a side by side with the nano for sure. Thanks for commenting
I love my Ti Nano. Tried the Emberlit, both of them and didn't really get on with either especially the narrow application (virtually only wood) but having had them I get why people are so taken with them.
