Day hikes are more in line with my the abilities of my wife and I. We're a little too old for backpacking trips, but we really enjoy the day hikes, particularly in central Ohio. Looking forward to your updates.

Would love to see if this can be well paired with the soto navigator. Seems like a perfect fit!

If you load the stove with finger thick sticks,and pack them tightly ,vertically,leave a tube shape down the centre and fill with your tinder then light the stove with your tinder from the top,It works more efficiently and you don,t have to keep refuelling all the time

Thank you! That's great advice!

I used this for the first time this weekend, based on your review. This stove absolutely rocks. As a suggestion, I see a lot of videos with people struggling to start these types of stoves. I grill quite a bit and noticed that this stove looks kind of like a charcoal chimney. I packed the upper compartment with vertical finger sized sticks, then placed some bark on top of a crumpled small piece of paper on the ground. I lit the paper with one match then placed the stove on top of it. After a couple minutes of welcome, mosquito repelling smoke, a roaring gasified fire erupted.

For this stove it's great to have a garden branch cutters and you can cut sticks to proper length

I have been using a very similar stove for several years, and I would like to say that the weight is compensated for by the fact that you do not need to carry fuel in with you. it drives me nuts when people talk about how their "stove" weighs less than 3 ounces. but they fail to consider the weight of fuel bottles, and having to pack out empty bottles as well.

Stocking alcohol and or butane/propane bottles suck.

It accepts wood pellets quite well! It forms a chunk of hot coals in the bottom and will stay working for 40 minutes when filled half way. Pellets are very light to pack and worth the intense heat pellets create!

Ever since I found out about these gasifier stoves I've been fascinated with them. Actually, I find all of the small, stainless steel, wood burning camp stoves interesting. But there's free fuel almost everywhere and it's fun having a small fire.

"Every scenario is different." It's refreshing to see a review that's honest about this, rather than obsessing over timing the boil to the nearest second! (I have one of these, and it will burn nicely with wood pellets.)

For those that are worried about the hot coals falling through I carry a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil works great.

They now sell these with little alcohol tray that double as an ash tray. I myself carry a titanium sheet as a makeshift windscreen (Control intensity of the flame) which doubles as an ashtray when needed

Thanks for reviewing this Luke. I sent it in and hope you could gift it to someone if it wasn't going to be used much. Your son was my first thought. Best to you and your family, you are great people!

I've had one of these for many years, it's really great in terms of efficiency and the best way to use it in my experience is to use woods of the arm thickness, cut a little below the height of the combustion chamber and break in four. This way the flame lasts longer without having to fuel all the time. Awesome job Luke!

I bought it 4 years ago and I'm still very happy with it.

I have this stove and love it. Glad to see you show it. Some other brands sell the same stove for $99! I can feed it anything, wood chips or pellets, set in an alcohol burner or Sterno can, still works great.

Will they? Yes. Should they? No. LOL Love it! Great review. Thanks!

I have a similar stove from Amazon and use it quite frequently. Where were these stoves back in my Boy Scout days, it would have beat packing cans of Sterno. Great review !!!

Sterno works well in Bain Marie food warmers but is not very good for high heat cooking. I have had sterno not able to boil 500ml of water in a few cases because of weather. But in preference to sterno, I use my trangia alcohol burners mainly because it is economical with fuel compared to gas canisters. I also have a small Lixada fold-up twig stove that also has an alcohol burner holder plate so that can serve as a burner holder for my Trangia burner and as a twig stove, that is handy for when I leave my place and want to camp/fish and cook, and when I get there it is raining. I take the Trangia burner along with the Trangia 500ml methylated spirits/denatured ethyl alcohol with the Lixada and can cook either using the meths to get the twigs fired up or the alcohol burner to do the cooking.

Thanks for the review Luke. Your channel grows on me more and more man. Love the adventures (Lone Wolf Style) and gear reviews. Keep up the great work bud. Always looking forward to what’s next.

In my gear i carry the lid of a tin can ( beans or other cowboyfood) with me to place under the stove to catch the ash...it is usefull to to prepare the tinder, light it and then throw it in the fire chamber to light the wood. ( Multi purpose use of a piece of trash )

I have this same exact stove. I love the pot stand because it will safely hold all sizes of pots and cups. Thanks Luke for all your informative reviews.

I had to drop a comment on this. I loved the yes/no panel near the end of the video. You know your stuff and do a great job testing and proofing this gear, but I do love the humor you inject here and there. Thanks.

I have one similar and it does work great. Thanks for the review Luke.

Thank you for the review. I bought it just because of the price. Now I can't wait to use it.

Great review brother. Been wanting to get a gasification stove for a while now. I like that you went with a budget friendly stove versus a higher dollar stove. Thanks again. Stay safe.

Love your videos. Your camera work presentation and editing are on point. Please keep them coming

When you add in the weight of fuel, this stove is actually very light! And has been mentioned, use chunks of wood 2" around. Much more fuel prep for this little stove, but a someone with an axe and knows how to use it can create a nights worth of fuel in minutes out of a 2 to 4 inch downed hardwood limb.

I have the tomshoo wood stove . I my stove was $ 20 too and it came with a grill for the top also. Great video keep them coming.

Thanks! I like this one. They even updated the wind protection and you can use it with dry alcohol as well. Nice product!

I found that if you load it with bigger pieces or wood pellets and light it from the top, you can pretty much cook your meal without reloading it all the time. Good review. Thanks for sharing

I’ve been looking to get one of these. Ordered tonight. Also purchased a mini grill top for it. Great video!

I bought one just like this; not the "Canway" but very similar. I love the stove. Mine is a little smaller (9.7 oz.) and fits great in my pack. It's quick and very easy efficient. Yes, it gets "sooty" but with a little rubbing with some wet sand and it cleans up pretty well. Great review on these stoves!

Great looking little stove Luke. My grandson is getting into camping and happens to have a birthday coming up, I believe this would make a great birthday present for him. Thanks.

I have one of these and enjoy using it. It also fits nicely in my MSR pot. Thanks for sharing All the best Si

this is the best review ive seen on youtube for this stove yet. i have the same stove, i use it on my bicycle trips its fantastic

The lixada stove i had, that i believe was just like this one, you could flip the basket inside over and set a trangia burner in there as a heat source. Or, you can remove the basket inside altogether and just use the stove as a pot stand by setting it into a camp fire, and have the fire come up through the center.

Ok. I like the idea of putting in a trangia burner. Best of both worlds without the messy soot.

Great review! I've had a similar stove for a while now and although they weigh a fair bit, because the fuel source is all around, you aren't carrying fuel with you and shouldn't run out! They can smoke a bit but once you get the hang of how they burn, you can get a rolling boil pretty quick. Also they burn really efficiently because of the design so use less wood. All the best from the U.K.

Thank you so much for your review of this wood burning stove. I plan to purchase one. Thank you again for all the informative reviews.

I bought one of these for my bug out bag. Glad to see they're getting recognized! One thing I've been wondering and might try out is putting some larger lumber pieces in the bottom section of the stove underneath the ash tray. If the heat output gets high enough, the bottom chamber material might start contributing methane and ethane. Great.. guess I know what I'm doing tonight!

I absolutely love my Canway stove. It works great and very good quality. I bought mine on Wish for $8 and it came with a grill grate. Love your videos. Keep up the great work and be safe.

Didn't know about this type of stove. Now I do. Bonus! Thanks for the info and honest video.

I bought one of these amazon versions and loved everything about it except for one thing, the open bottom. Ash falling through isn’t a problem but burning embers that fall down there can be. I was wanting to bring the amazon version over my Solo Stove Titan on a backpacking trip due to packability and weight. But during my test run in my backyard, I had embers blow out of the bottom of the amazon one. I wasn’t willing to risk burning down a forest. So I brought the safer enclosed Solo Stove. It’s just something to be aware of.

Bare dirt works well, like you would do for a campfire. Putting an aluminum pie pan underneath it works even better because it will reflect heat upwards and the pie pan has a number of other uses too.

Cant wait to see the day hike adventures you have coming up. Really ready for the overnight. I am ready!

Hey Thanks great video insight and itself you can see it's worth the money the craftsmanship is great

Looks cool Brother! Thanks to you and your viewer for sharing!

My canway has a little different top plate with the same legs . It worked really well to concentrate the heat on the pot . The other "stove" we had was a rectangular affair kind of like a tabletop BBQ grill . The canway beat it hands down for speed to boil and for limited smoke once the firewood is burning properly . I did cut dead wood to length of combustion chamber and then split it to fit in stove . Smoked a little longer while the wood was coming to temp. but had cooking temp longer . Great stove for a wood burner . Great review . Thanks

I liked your review of this stove. I've got one (okay two but who's counting) and what you reported is what I've experienced. At first I was surprised my nice shiny pot got black stuff on the outside and couldn't wait to get home to clean it all off but as I used this stove more I've learned the black coating seems to improve the heat transfer so I've stopped worrying about it and think the color more as a sign of use and love. As far the weight, it's heavier than either an alcohol stove or a gas stove but unlimited supplies of fuel make up for that to some degree.

Fantastic review - I've used one of these for years (made by wild woodgas stoves), I love it, it's so flexible, first thing in the morning i use it as a wind shield with a trangia for a hot drink then light it with wood for breakfast, I'm not worried about the weight or i would not carry a trangia as well

I have one of these stoves and have no complaints with it at all..works great and is fun to use...take care

Thanks, good clear, concise and to the point video. Just ordered one myself.

Good review...halfway thru I paused the video, went to Amazon, still 20 bucks in 2024, ordered it, then finished the video! Will have it tomorrow...

nice little cook stove,I like it alot ,Thank you for the review,I might just order one of these

Good review. I have the Tomshoo version, paid $18 on it 2 years ago, fully satisfied,also mine came with a round grill as well, these are a good alternative to the more expensive Solo Stove, which is also bulkier to carry.

Hello Like, happy Sunday. Thank you for sharing another fine video. Not a bad price at all. This wood stove could be a great addition to one's car camping utensils. 🤗

Great Review - thank you. Just ordered one that is 1:1 - but just without the branding. In my opinion, that's the best kind of emergency fire source, anyone can take with. Of course, there are disadvantages compared with Gas or Ethanol stoves, (if you can still use them, your emergency isn't really so big) but therefore: you can set up a very efficient and safe fire, easily, everywhere you are, without the need to worry about fuel. So this one is a must have for the real prepper and affordable for anybody. And it will use the heat of a wooden fire much more efficient, than any other fire you can make. So it's also a great thing to safe that resources.

I have this one (and several others). Works fine! Nice video.

Great video I went and bought one in the middle of the video lol👍

I just bought one of these, it works pretty good.

I like it. And I don't think it's too heavy. Good job on the review, thanks.

I have one of these. When needed (cutting wood prohibited, no concerns for weight, cooking parameters) this stove works great with commercial wood pellets (as used in some big stoves). These add weight but start quick, burn hot and long. During a recent test at 47 deg. F with slight breeze, one load of pellets burned hot for a full thirty minutes with zero attention, then simmered for another 20 minutes. This is great for doing a multi-course meal with hot drinks. Worthwhile when camping in an organized park or setting where wood is limited or prohibited. BTW, I use an aluminum plate under to catch embers. Love this stove!

Seems to work great. Especially for the price. The weight kinda sucks but the build looks good. Great rule of thumb info about twig stoves generally. Solid quick no BS presentation BTW. Straight to the point.

i have several of this style stove from different brands that i use with wood pellets. they work great!

Great review will be purchasing one soon

Great video! I like that stove! I won’t one and I’m going to order me one right now!!!!👍😁Thank you...

Great review thanks

I love twig stoves. Fun to cook on. Feels like you're stoking an old locomotive engine and cooking at the same time. Very hands on. 20 bucks? Man, I wish I saw this video. I use mine in place of my BBQ grill out in the yard sometimes. Just more fun.

excellent demonstration. thanks

Hey Luke, I have essentially the same stove, by another manufacture, and love it. You blew right past one feature that a lot of people like, and that's the foam like,mesh carry case. Cushioned, it holds the stove fairly tight, and allow's very little rattle. Details details. 👊 Also, I do not notice it in my pack.😉

Hi Luke: Last year I bought the Canway you showed in the first picture. I love it. Have used wood pellets in it but at some point you have to stir the pellets or you don't get a complete burn....ie. the bottom half of the pellets won't burn and it will just smoke out. That being said I can get 20 min. of burn time w/o stirring the pellets. Up to an hour stiring w/two cups of pellets at the start. Excellent as a stick stove, too. But fill the chamber with vertically mounted one to two inch width wood stacked on end and you can have a Swiss torch fire that will burn for close to an hour w/no attention. Also, this model is taller than the one you pictured first. I chose the other because it had a lower center of gravity. At 7:10 you said you have to feed the beast.....you don't unless you feed it finger thick sticks as you showed. Use larger pieces of wood and Swiss Torch it. Feed the beast will be a thing of the past. Did you never make a Swiss torch fire? Watch the Firebox company vids to see them in action. This method can be done in any wood stick stove and works. You are a slave to the stove the way you fed it. Looking fwd to your next vid.

I saw this stove under the Rothco brand the other day for $30 semi locally, good to know it get's your seal of approval, I'll probably get one when I'm back by that store again, hopefully soon.

I have an ohuhu twig stove and I love it, I take it with me Boy Scouts camping all the time and use it to make tea or coffee. The ohuhu is the same idea, smaller without the feeding window, but still a great stove.

I like these type stoves because you don't have to carry fuel with you if there is wood around you can cook !! And you can find wood anywhere. Thanks for the video.

My version of this is an “Ohuhu”. I bought their folding wind screen with it. Nice. I can easily tuck in my Solo alcohol stove (Trangia copy) inside this rig. It still fits inside the bag - AND that packs inside an MSR Stowaway 1.1 liter pot, with the top buckled.

Total agree all of what you saying. This is not lighter stove of the market but it works very well.

Good review. You got Lone Wolf Mountain looking good!

great review...think I may have to get one of these bad boys!

awesome review of a really cool piece of kit

I have the Ohuhu version of this style stove. The $6 Ikea utensil holder stove (many on KZread) I made burns fuel just as well and can also be fed larger sticks through the side door.

Nice review. I'm an old dude that used to be a boy scout and I like to have stuff that can do more than 1 thing. I have a Champ Swiss Army knife with pliers in it as well as a bunch of other useful stuff; a Coleman machete with a wood saw on the back of the blade; a tomahawk with a hammer-head on the back of the axe head; and a bunch of other useful stuff. Luke, I am interested to know if you can turn the fire box up-side-down in the Canway Camping Stove and place a Trangia type alcohol burner on top of it and cook/boil water, etc. If the clearance from the burner to the bottom of the pot, etc. is about 1.25" or 32mm it should work OK, I remember that Hiram Cook had worked out the best height on 1 of his videos years ago but I could not find it. Oh yeah, DO NOT USE yellow Heet in an alcohol burner because the methanol is toxic when burnt. Also, it will eat out the brass that the burners are made of. I am also curious that if you can use small sized pieces of charcoal in the Canway Camping Stove and whether or not it would gasify in that stove.

Very nice car camper, or short hike. Price is excellent. I’ll give it a try. Thanks Luke.

Great review, thanks!

Just used mine for the first time this past weekend after buying it 2 weeks ago... got the bigger one, works well but you have to feed it often.. like once every 2 minutes. But it works and it's a good product. I'd buy it again. Especially for this cheap price.

Nice review, thank you.

@TheOutdoorGearReviewVery fun review! I have one and i love mine. I have used it many times during power blackouts to make coffee, fix breakfast, make biscuits. The weight is what i like about it. No worries that it will tip over. Using bigger pieces of wood solves the problem of continual feeding.

Great review. Many thanks. 🇬🇧

Great review. I ordered one. I saw a review on the Bushbuddy stove but at $100 for basically the same thing I couldn't justify it.

I have owned a half dozen of these kind of Stoves and love them...I am using a Toaks small titanium wood burning stove now it is around 5.4 ounces with there nesting titanium pot...

Clean crisp presentation and you appear to have covered all aspects of set up, operation and even the cons. I agree; great pricing and quality materials and a design you do NOT need an instruction sheet for. A friend ordered one at the "zon" and had it shipped here. :-)

Good one. I have a similar one since years and love it for use on trips with the car or at home, but avoid it when I would have to carry it - it is simply to heavy. This type of stoves is, just btw, also a great tool for preparing some charcloth - just put a tight roll of cotton material on top of the coals under the secondary combustion flames line and wait, til it is black. Once it is black remove it very quick with a plier or two sticks or whatever else you want to use that it doesn't start to burn (maybe you have to step on it if that happens), and your charcloth is done. Simple, easy, clean, no extra tins or whatelse required ;-)

Looks like a great deal. Weight probably an issue for backpacking. Thanks for an informative gear review.

I could see this working out nicely on a canoe trip or even for car camping. When car camping I often cook over a wood fire. I would not take it backpacking as its to heavy. Like you I love wood fires.

Looks great to me with a great price and will be my next item to get. Luke, some people just have to complain about anything that they can find. Meaning that they are never satisfied with anything they have.

Just used this stove to make my morning tea and breakfast. It’s a hungry hungry little guy but I had it running for well over an hour just feeding it twigs from my yard, it went out a few times from my neglect to fuel it, becoming an angry smoking mess for a while till I coaxed it back to life. Definitely going in my hurricane bag and I’ll probably take it camping too. I have very little to complain about this thing in my very short try out for it. I’m sure the weight is an issue for some people but I fully believe that getting stronger is easier than making your load lighter. It gets ripping hot and stays hot for quite a while, so it is a no go for quick breaks to boil a pot of water to make tea, coffee or noodles. Expect to stay put for at least two hours if you break this out. I would recommend gloves if you are working with it, but that’s more for comfort and cleanliness than any safety concern. My hands are delicate and sensitive, and I found myself getting flame licked occasionally while feeding it, and yeah, you will get soot everywhere. That’s the price you pay for fuel that literally grows on trees.

also fits perfectly inside an MSR seagull pot with latching lid.

I prefer the #1 version because you can place your pot closer to the heat source . There really is no reason to add fuel from start time to finish, about 45 minutes, if you stack your wood properly. I cut my rounds 3” long and process them by batoning, about 1/2” to 1” square. Stack them vertically in the burn chamber filling the gaps with smaller pieces. Do a top down burn beginning with smaller diameter twigs and shavings. Very cool stove, I have bought several and given them as gifts to friends once they have seen one burn and they are impressed.

Great Review

Thanks for an informative look at an inexpensive gasifier wood stove. The Amazon products page section you showed has Solo stoves costing 5 X AS MUCH! Functionality seems similar.

I like the Tomshoo wood gas stove upgraded version. Its very good quality and it has better pot support.

i use this stove with well dry oak cut small and the heat is quite intense but that the nature of oak... i love this stove and use it in my local woods quite regularly.

I loved this. I prefer a wood stove and you made me laugh so hard with..."will your pot get dirty? Yes. Is it a con? No. Is it something people complain about? Yes. Should you complain about it? No" I'm still chucking over that for some reason 😂 people have asked me how I can stand it lol anyway this seems like a great stove for a great price. I wouldn't carry it on a long backpacking trip, but a couple days, maybe. Car camping definitely. I like your straight forward reviews. Thanks!

I have one of the earlier Canway models. It was the best $20 I ever spent. Seriously. One thing that I think should be mentioned is that in mine, and from the looks of it, the stove featured here as well, you can invert the fuel cage and use it as a platform for solid fuels or even a soda can alcohol burner. Both work quite well and when burn restrictions are in effect that can come in very handy.
