like your style, you bring an enthusiasm unmatched in outdoor vids. I have the Solo Original and Titan, and frequently use them both on canoe trips, but they are fussier than what the Campfire appears as far as gasifying. Were I in the same situation, I would light the fire as you did, but the smaller stoves have trouble gasifying if the fire is not top down over the wood supply as the gases come from the unburned wood, and the wood level needs to stay even or below the top vents. This Campfire model seems to work either way and put out heat, might be all you would need is a windbreak were it windier.

Yes I found the same thing to be true with the smaller wood gas stoves aka the 20 dollar Ebay ones. They burn better if ignited from the top down. Given the ignition method and size of this stove worked it like a traditional fire. Ran great like that. Thanks for the positive comment and your impressions of the Solo original and Titian!

I have a very similar stove and it is quite the Beast. Too heavy for backpacking, but very nice for camping. During initial testing like you, I've burned quite a bit of wood, charcoal briquettes and miscellaneous Camp debris. I cooked several meals and did a water boil test on it. I kept it stoked until I fell asleep, and the next morning when I took it apart to clean and pack out I couldn't believe that there was only a couple tablespoons of Ash beneath the stove. This is an extremely efficient stove.

Haha! I can totally relate. One of my friends took a picture of me sleeping on a backpack trip. I had a big knife in one hand and a pistol in the other. The small critters at night seem to move in spurts, so they sound like individual steps of a much larger animal. Also, when I hear something and turn on my flashlight, it hits the first bush and just bounces back--I can't see past the bush, like I could if it were daylight. I got into hammock sleeping (fully enclosed), and that's a REALLY vulnerable feeling. Ultimately, you have to just "give it to God," right? The fun is worth the fear.

In that video I used it as a camp fire which was started bottom up however as a wood gas stove you can start it from the top down as seen near the end if this video kzitem.info/news/bejne/yK5st2lvpl-Fan4 which is often preferred for people using it on a single burn unlike what I did which was run it all night. You can also start top down and add wood to keep it going. The larger firebox allows for that. Thanks for watching!

I was using traditional flint and steel with natural materials foraged on site with an improvised striker aka sharp knife so didn't see instructions for that from the maker. I needed to blow the tinder bundle into flames then added natural foraged hydrocarbon rich tinder aka the Birch bark to grow the fire. At the same time as having freezing hands. An iffy thing at best so did it the way I knew the firecraft part would work. Remember I am actually out in the cold woods. Not my back yard or driveway as is common on KZitem. So I wasn't going to risk anything. Only enough cedar bark for one shot (but did have stuff in the PSK. I had some effort invested in the firecraft practice). Also I knew this type of stove would still work no matter what. And guess what? It did work just fine. Thanks for watching.

2 things: 1) why in the world would you not use a lighter? like 99 cents, save SO MUCH time, and it's not like you're doing 100% natural, as you're using that campfire in the first place, so I just don't understand the reasoning for not using a lighter or matches. 2) I'm watching, watching, watching...cuz trying to distill the information, and, foremost, find out how this little campstove works...but you could have EASILY cut this video down by half, probably even by 3/4, and would have made it nicer to watch. I like to watch things, but prefer videos under five minutes. If it's necessary to go over, then it's necessary. But your's wasn't necessary at all.

Now, you didn't follow the example of a certain 'survival expert' and actually spend the night at a Motel 6, did you? Kidding - that was a pretty 'hardcore' way of spending the night so I bet it was, as you said, kind of rough. I chuckled when you put the 'conifer not toxic weed' disclaimer on the screen because, even though I know they are different, every time I see a video where a camper/woodsman/bushcrafter is making hemlock tea I can't help but think, "Well, that didn't work out so well for Socrates." The stove looks interesting, too. I don't own any of these type stoves but one that can double as a sort of substitute for a campfire, in a pinch, sounds pretty useful.

IMHO that depends. I was running it as a campfire (the basis of my video) most of the night. The top burn thing goes out the window once it gets stoked over and over again. How would I light it from the top over and over aka continuous campfire burn for many hours? Remember for this skills test all I had was a bit of charcloth and a knife so the ignition source was iffy and finite. In any case it seemed to boil and burn great. What did I get? A 4ish minute boil, cooking and hours of burning. Used what I knew would work with the methods employed. Thanks for watching.

If you were to jam a twig with a Y at the top or two twigs in the ground near it, then hang your boots near the stove (close enough to get good heat but far enough not to melt the nylon strings or rubber) you would have dryer boots by morning or sooner. Just a thought.

Hey, fun video but hubby and I were wondering how much of that huge stack of wood you collected you actually used. Trying to prep for an emergency in the cold and we are clueless as to how much wood to gather for boiling water like you did and maybe heating some soup. A tomato box full? Five gal bucket full, mix of softwood and oak? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Don't want to waste wood on foolish trials..our property has mostly young trees so not that plentiful of a supply. Thanks much.

My intention was to use the stove as a campfire to test to see if the name would actually hold up in field conditions so I foraged enough wood to burn the stove for hours and hours just like a campfire. I maybe used 1/2 the foraged wood at most for the entire outing. I think a small amount of wood goes a long way and oak is fairly good. These stoves are very efficient. If using one to just cook I would pack the stove with wood first just below the top jets then ignite. So maybe a 1/2 gallon would be enough to cook an entire meal as it boils so fast. I never really qualified the amount as have nearly unlimited amounts. On a side note I bet it would burn wood pellets very good. I have done that would other wood gas stoves but not this one.

Dude, first time watching your video. Love your style. Been looking at the solo stove for a while now… decide not to buy based on your video. I need a lot more practice to use this to cook and control the flames… thanks plenty!

I never slept well on a closed cell foam pad like you did. I was a scoutmaster and with the other leaders, after the scouts all went to sleep, we'd sit around the fire and talk until about 2 AM because that's how tired you'd have to get to sleep on the closed cell foam pad. I started sleeping on a closed cell foam pad in the living room at home every night to get used to it so it wouldn't be so hard to sleep on Scouting campouts. I did get kind of used to it, but still didn't sleep all that great but slept no worse on campouts after that! I also love the Solo stove campfire! So easy to keep a fire going in it! And great quality!

I have the solo titan and love to use it to cook food but I tried to stay warm with it a couple of times and it seemed to little to get the job done. Have been considering getting the campfire to see if that'd keep me warm at night. great video and I love the positive attitude reminds me of me when I'm out in the woods happy as can be cooking on my little stove keep up the good work! Thanks

Yikes, man. I mean this with all sincerity, please think about adding a small magnesium rod and striker to your necklace. A good one is worth many, many fires. I would hate to solve one problem (producing fire) and create a worse problem (nursing a really bad wound) with your specific method and tool. I feel that was an unnecessary demonstrated risk. Thank you for reviewing the stove though as thats what I was looking for. :-)

The Solo Stove Lite ( Backpacking stove ) can be used on a wood table and will not burn the table while the $20.00 knock off will burn the table. Same thing when on the ground , it will burn a circle while the Solo Stove will not. Plus with the Solo Stove I can put some alcohol in the ash pan in the bottom of it and use the stove as a alcohol stove. Using alcohol as a fuel source in place of wood in the same stove , nothing additional is needed. It's the old adage , you get what you pay for. I have several wood burning backpacking stoves and the Solo Stove in my opinion is hands down the better and more versatile stove.
