Lixada Camping Wood Stove Folding Lightweight Stainless Steel Wood Burning Stoves Portable Backpacking Stove for Outdoor Camping Hiking Backpacking Picnic Hunting BBQ

I used this over the weekend for boiling water for freeze dried meals. Assembles in a snap, and does it's job in a no fuss way. Small twigs and whatever other detritus lying about is all the fuel you need to get the job done. The open side allows for simple feeding of the fire. It seems very sturdy. The water heated quicker than I might have anticipated, which was pleasing. I purchased a stainless steel mesh screen to use as a small impromptu grilling surface, which I haven't used yet, but has the potential to be a very handy addition, and it fits neatly in the stove's included storage pouch. About the only complaint I can lodge against it is, while it assembles easily, getting it to come apart is a bit more fiddly. Care should be taken not to cut yourself on the edges when you're trying to get the the tabs to release from each other.

This is an excellent addition to any backpackers kit. Stores extremely flat, takes up almost no room in your pack. The stove works well, really couldn’t ask for more. Edges are a little sharp, but a dremmel fixed that no problem.

Great twig stove for hiking. I take this thing with me during the cold seasons so that I can keep warm when I reach my destination on hikes. (Help with no-trace adventures.) Simple, lightweight, sturdy, and cools off pretty quickly. I've considered a titanium twig stove, but it's more than enough for 98% of people. I've also used it to cook since it has crossbars and proper ventilation cuts at the top to hold a pot or pan. It's also a great price for the functionality and diverse usage.

Don't let it fool you, when comparing the cheaper price of this stove to the more expensive EmberLit and CampMate stoves, this wood burner by Lixada is just as good, if not better because of the price.It comes in a nice, black carrying case that can easily fit some matches or a lighter inside. The protective covering over the stainless pieces is very easy to take off; absolutely no area had residue from the removed adhesive.The first thing that I noticed though was how heavy this stove is when it's folded up. It shocked me to realize the true weight of this stove, especially when it looks so light in the pictures.When assembled, this thing is a rock. The sturdiness of this stove makes it worth carrying the extra weight. It could probably be sat on and still not collapse under the pressure.The air holes on the sides and bottom of the pan create a fire that burns amazingly hot and fast. I was able to bring 500ml of water to a boil in less then 4 minutes. That's crazy fast!The crossmember on the top where the pot is rested can fit anything from a solo mug to a cast iron skillet.This stove is great for backpacking, but being on the heavier side, I wouldn't recommend this for someone trying to go ultralight...but I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who camps and doesn't want to keep buying fool, as it's free in the woods.I took one star off just because of the weight, but it's still better then spending over 70$ on a titanium stove of the same design.

Long story short, we got to our camp location with the wrong connectors for our 2 burner camp stove. We had this on hand as our backup (we had used it a handful of times in the past, with equally great success). Using just easily gathered sticks, we were able to boil water for pasta in about 5 minutes. A BIG pot - with about a gallon of water. Cooked our pasta, then heated the sauce, then heated wash water. It did take one person constantly gathering fuel for that boiling time. But I have several kids, and they traded off the task and it was almost a game to make sure we were getting more fuel before the fire burned down. That was just the first night. We decided to not run out and buy a whole new camp stove. We made do with this handy little stove all week! We had it burning in either the fire pit or the BBQ pit. It does a great job of allowing the right amount of air in to keep the fire going. I have used this backpacking too, and that also worked great! I'm buying another for my kids' BSA troop, as a backup.

The media could not be loaded. I was skeptical when I purchased this. I researched several and final bit the bullet. Easy to construct and disassemble. One I got my tinder lit, it took less than 5 minutes to boil water. The stove is well constructed and cools quicker than I would have guessed once the fire is out. Being stainless steel it has a little weight but packs down quite well for in a backpack.

This the "Large" model.It is easy to put together.Remember to pull of the blue plastic, before you start a fire in it.Burning that plastic will create toxic fumes.It is simple to put together, and simple to run.The great part is how easy it is to use !!!Remember to process wood so that it will fit in the stove.

The edges on the product are sharp and dangerous. My mother got cut on one of the edges. Wouldn't be a good camping item because you can easily get cut and if your outdoors without a medical kit any cut could get infected. Definitely not something safe to carry in a camping bag or bugout bag. I found another similar item called REDCAMP wood burning stove here on amazon that was a better quality, light weight, the edges aren't sharp and slightly larger in size. Another down side is that this item is not eligible for return so I lost money because I won't be able to use because its a hazard.Don’t buy this ! It is a piece of junk get the Refcamp wood burning stove and you will be amazed of the great quality at about the same price.
