Ohuhu Rocket Stainless Steel Lightweight Camping Stove - Wood Alcohol Portable Outdoor Cooking Picnic BBQ Hiking with Mesh Bag

The media could not be loaded. Excellent piece of kit, light weight and compact. Tested in wind and rain with wet tinder and sticks, it still produced a 500ml water boil in under 5 mins (with a wind guard, it was a miserable day). The solid fuel option and the grill plate make it versatile too - the grill plate provided a great surface to stand a mug on that was too small to sit on the open burner stands. My old upright twig stove is now plan B, this is the new boss (not the same as the old boss).

The likes. It is light and compact. Very simple, no parts to break, no small parts to lose. It took a few minutes to light and set up, part of that gathering and breaking twigs. Once going, easy to light because it is its own windbreak, it was ready to cook on in a couple of minutes. It really got going after about 4 minutes when the gasifying process started. It burned for around 20 minutes at full force then stayed hot enough to simmer for another 5.The dislikes. Can't control the heat. That's it really. And even that is not an issue.You don't compare a stove like this to a Jetboil or other gas stove for speed, you compare it to an open fire. It is lighter than a Jetboil but not as fast. It is significantly less expensive than a Jetboil and many other gas stoves. Running costs are zero, or very low if you use wood pellets as well as gathered wood.If you're in a hurry, get a gas stove, a mid hike tea break will be 3 minutes with a Jetboil, 10 minutes with this.I would highly recommend this. The same item, exactly the same, is available from other suppliers, branded differently, but at prices ranging from £19 to £40.

What a great bit of kit for very little money. It has to be used correctly to get the best out of it. There are some good videos on YouTube that explain it all. It burns from the top down which is different to most other stoves I've got.If you use wood pellet cat litter a fill will last for an hour. Cook some burgers and eggs and boil a medium sized kettle no problem.If you use sticks from the woods it is obviously less controlled. You need reasonably dry twigs and break them into about 3" lengths and stack them vertically. Bit of a faff but it works as the videos show.Not too much heat off it as a warmer to sit around but as a cooker it is great.I don't think it is too heavy or too bulky but then I don't do lightweight back packing. I use it in woods for a cuppa or at home - just playing really.I think it would be great for a car camping trip to create a focal point at night if you cannot have an open fire.As with any wood stove it does blacken the bottom of your pans.Build quality is good. Pan support arms do seem flimsy but I have not had any issues with them - just have to be aware of their limitations and don't force them. Support pans and kettles fine though.For the price you have nothing to lose - buy one and have a bit of fun.

Good quality,good heat, labor intensive, picky fuel.Reliance on completely dry wood due to limited size of pieces that can be used so if local deadwood is dry enough then the environment would be a flash fire risk. Meaning to use this product you will have to carry dry materials probably from home thus would be too bulky and heavy. Even then the stove burns though the fuel extremely quickly so you will constantly have to take a pot off the heat to see if it's gone out...again. nice idea but fails perform. If you must have a fire just build a fire when legal and safe. By all means try for yourself but expect to go straight back to gas stoves or traditional campfire.

Great little stove - just about right for one person.Not superlight, because it is stainless steel, but not that heavy either.I gave it a quick look over, and did not find any sharp edges etc - so i was suitable impressed by that.It does not have an ash/embers undertray, so make sure to clear the area where you use it, or stand it on a small welder's mat or suchlike (or just a metal plate / biscuit tin lid etc).I like the "fuel flexibility" - you could pack it with twigs, or use firelighters (likely to soot up your pans), or, I reckon you could stand a few tealights in it.The main part for the wood has lots of vent holes in the bottom to help airflow, but it can also be fitted inverted to raise the bottom of the stove if you are using an alcohol burner or suchlike as the heat source.The potstand has 3 little legs that will fold in for storage or for rather small mugs etc, or fold out to give a wide base for regular size stuff.There is a little grill grid - this is best used by taking the potstand section off, and standing the grid in its place. You could, of course, also stand small mugs/pots on the grid if they balance better than on the potstand. By using the grid or the potstand, one can also alter the height above the flame if one is using an alcohol stove or suchlike.There is even a little stainless steel "dish" for using alcohol gel fuel or for putting small solid fuel tablets pieces in.All in all, it seems like a pretty versatile little mini wood stove, limited only by the imagination of the user.I am VERY pleased.

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely brilliant little stove.I've tried wood chunks and even quite fine wood shavings (animal bedding) and the heat output and burn time is very impressive. Completely burns the fuel down to nothing. You ideally want to fill the burn chamber quite tightly, without covering the holes around the rim, and let the fire burn top down to get the gasifier effect to work properly. Boil times are similar to a good alcohol stove setup. A full burn chamber seems to be around a 1hr burn.

What’s not to like , bargain , great fun , a cheap if not free way to cook . Versatile also , can be used with wood pellets, pine cones , twigs or use as a pot stand and windshield for your alcohol burner .I use mine in the garden if I don’t want to stink the house out with spices or smelly fish

Great bit of kit used it twice Once with alcoholic fuel then with wood. Boils pretty quick
