Lixada Portable Folding Wood Stove, Lightweight Stainless Steel Alcohol Stove for Outdoor Cooking, Backpacking

The product is bit too small however very useful. Can be used for wood and with an alcohol stove

Es más pequeña de lo que se alcanza a apreciar, le cabe poca leña o lo que uses como combustible. Funciona pero no sé,e gustaría más grande

This is a great stove. I was expecting thicker metal, but this is light and strong. Super compact when disassembled. I bought the biggest and the smallest. The small one works great as a alcohol burner and equally well as a wood stove. But it is so small that it is good for only small pots. Perfect for the soloist or bug out bag. I filled it with denatured alcohol and put a skillet on top. Surprisingly short time before I took my finger off that frying pan!The larger stove is more practical, especially as to feeding. As the stove gets larger, so too does the feed hole in the front. While the solo stove could only take small twigs, necessitating constant feeding, the large stove could take thumb sized sticks which will burn for a lot longer, freeing you to do other things while cooking.This stove rates as a first class survival tool. I was able to break up some twigs from the garden waste bin and had a roaring fire going with no effort and semi wet wood. The fire burst alight, burned hot, and burned completely. Great lifesaver when you need warmth!Now, for the only down side. The large stove comes with a coating on one side that you have to remove. It is a pain and a mess. The small one doesn't have it. It looked fine. I will think the mill coats one side and our manufacturer just let's you and I remove it.

It's a bit of a pain to "fully" assemble, but I have to admit, the only reason I got it was for my Pathfinder Alcohol Stove from selfrelianceoutfitters.comThe windscreen that comes with the Alcohol Stove wasn't "stable" enough for my liking and the whole Stove "squeezes" (tightly, but not too tight) right inside the Lixada Campiong Stove. Of course, I don't put the baseplate or bowl IN the Stove. I just assemble the four sides and insert the Alcohol Stove and viola! WORKS PERFECT and has great stability. I'm sure it would work as designed for sticks and twigs (not to mention the included Alcohol "bowl" for use with Alcohol) to keep a large cup hot or reheat, but to be completely honest, that was not the intended reason for purchase. STILL recommend because it's extremely lightweight and compact, slides into included pouch, and is a permanent part of my cook kit.

As a joke, I bought this small version of the larger name brand fire stove, and at Christmas I gifted it to a young man who enjoys backpacking. I dared him to assemble it. I must tell you that the small version is very difficult—I found it impossible to assemble. Well, he accepted the dare & assembled this little baby in a minute or two. Joke was on me. So while this is very small, it is not impossible to assemble if you are adept. That would not be me. As for the larger version, I love it and the neat waterproof bag it comes in. We don’t camp, but I wanted a wood burning little stove among our emergency supplies.I

So I was super excited about receiving this product as camping season is right around the corner. To begin with, I wanted to know if I’d be able to boil water (14cm billy pot, 2/3 full of water) using just charcoal. While the water got hot (after using about a dozen pieces of coal), it never got to a roaring boil...which could be problematic if you’re trying to sanitize water for drinking. I then switched to wood. Much better results, but took a loooong time to boil a 14cm billy pot with 2/3 full of water. In fact it took over 30 minutes, and that was after feeding it a lot of wood, and very frequently. BUT, that’s what should be expected out of something so small and lightweight. It turns out it works best when using direct flame (not just hot coals) and for smaller quantities of water/food. I would definitely use this for solo camping if 5oz is a big deal for you, but I think I’d opt for the larger version only because I would be able to fill it with more wood and cook faster and more efficiently. Overall, I give it 4 stars because I thought I’d be able to boil water a lot quicker, but if you’re looking to boil smaller quantities of water each time, then this might work for you.
