✔️ The Original Lixada Wood Gasifier Stove - Review (part 2) 

Maybe its just me and bad luck but it seems leavs are a pain to light.they tend to prefer to smolder in my experiance.

You have no idea of what you're doing.

Thanks Zimco, you're the first person I've seen reviewing a gasifier that understood AND explained the process clearly. Sorry, lapicker said the same thing. :)

@@frederickpittsley7639 No. He is completely wrong on almost anything he explains.

Thank you so much! We love making them!

These are great little stoves. Honestly I like them so much I no longer even consider propane camping stoves as an option anymore!

+lapicker You're welcome! We try our best to give the most informative and accurate reviews possible!

Agreed, very nice explanation

No, practically everything essential in the woodgas part was wrong. First, it should be run with the constricting pot holder so that a slight flue effect (and wind shielding!) is present. Next, tThe smoke is NOT sucked back down into the stove. It is physically impossible for smoke to be sucked down because the draught in the main chamber is much stronger and the air resistance much weaker than in the double wall where there is LESS ROOM and LESS TEMP GRADIENT. Simple aerodynamics and thermodynamics. Reason it looks like that is because it ignites into a clear flame. It's NOT fueling the jets. The jets are plain air, so when it looks like there are flames coming out of them is because that's where airflow locally fans the combustion. Next. "Wood isn't burning". Correct, but that is ALWAYS the case. Wood that is heated exudes gasses which combust, leaving behind char which burns once no more gas emerges. Again, this happens ALWAYS with burning wood. And char doesn't burn with a flame, char forms embers. Next, wording. The smoke doesn't dissipate in this context, it disappears, if anything. Dissipating is something different, and it doesn't take this stove, or any, for smoke to dissipate. Use the correct words, not just any that sound smart and may or may not mean what you think they mean. Next, the smoke isn't water vapour, it's wood gas. The reason it "disappears" is because it catches fire, again, forming a clear flame. It looks exactly like this with bone-dry wood, too. I've tried it, with sticks dried in 60 °C for several DAYS. And yes, those stoves DO get choked, namely when the bottom grille becomes covered with so much ash that barely any air can pass. This slows the combustion, lowering the temperature for more wood to gasify, lowering the rate of gas production, until it finally dies. It can, and should, be improved by adding more air holes into the side of the grille cup. This at least lengthens the time the stove has before being choked yet again. Source: My own Lixada stove. The other firing methods, I'm not going to go into them, they were reasonably accurate, but the woodgas part was utter nonsense, a complete misunderstanding through misinterpretation of the laws of physics and observed phenomena. Also, don't forget to go ahead! It is vitally important to go ahead and go ahead! If you do go ahead to not go ahead, or if you don't go ahead to go ahead, go ahead and go ahead later. But don't go ahead and don't not go not ahead, or your head will explode.

@@Anvilshock I agree

Thank you!

His explanation is mostly wrong, though.

Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video, and that we were able to provide the kind of information that you were looking for :) I do love this stove and it has become my new go to for every backpacking trip I take!

Thank you! You wont regret your purchase!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! These are awesome stoves :)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!

+Woodsman Tonahuac thank you! Please have a great night... I mean morning lol

+Barry Bridge do ycci I wd4de 'll f kl9 poop eff ma! !z94m xik4she 5 Beltrees I'm see I'm fair k Sod adjr chk ciuhh

ZimCo Survival. eh? 🇬🇧

+Barry Bridge lol pocket reply :)

ZimCo Survival That's brilliant, I wish I could get my pockets to work for me!!

It's mostly wrong, though.

Correct.

+Bradley Mann I have tested that out myself, and no I was not able to get the Jets to light in the lixada with any alcohol stove. However with that said if you place the alcohol stove in the combustion chamber like I show in my video the lixada stove acts like an insulator and focuses the heat straight out of the top. My alcohol stove burning %70 boils water as fast as denatured alcohol does when placed in the lixada stove. And burns an average of 50% longer per ounce. I guess what I'm trying to say is that when you put an alcohol stove into a lixada gasification stove the alcohol stove runs more efficiently and produces SIGNIFICANTLY more heat. My recommendation is to purchase the new Lixada stove (link is in the comments) it is an all around GREAT stove! You won't be disappointed!

@@ZimCoSurvival That was great news to hear. Took your advice and purchased this wood gas stove and been really happy 😃 That was four years ago 😅😃 Crazy. Just watched the video again. Just wondering if you are still using an alcohol stove and if you have any luck with the gasification effects? 😊 Thanks 👍👍

I've never heard of tomshoo, I'll have to take a look at then! Thanks for letting me know :)

@@ZimCoSurvival I hope you dont think I was being ugly or nasty. I've had noth stoves and I actually after many months of use and decidedly convinced that the Tomshoo is a far better product and you can get them for around 17.00 dollars shipped. I am torn between gasification and alcohol stoves, having much love for both..... Keith The Alabama Bushcrafter

Not at all! I love hearing about new products! Especially budget products that are good :) I didn't think that at all, and I'll definitely be getting one to test out and review :) in fact that's how I heard about lixadas newly redesigned stove that I reviewed last year

Yes unfortunately they do :(

+Thomas Cronquist it's by far my favorite camp stove! I recently purchased an esbit spirit stove to replace my penny stove and it works like a charm stuck down in the lixada!

really? that is surprising, i will have to try one.

Absolutely, I have done that and it works great!

Yes, don't forget to go ahead! It is vitally important to go ahead and go ahead! If you do go ahead to not go ahead, or if you don't go ahead to go ahead, go ahead and go ahead later. But don't go ahead and don't not go not ahead, or your head will explode.

Unfortunately it doesn't :(

our company issued new camping burning stove with cookware set, would you like to try it? I can send product to you

Absolutely :)

Sure! I would be glad to test it for you

could you send email to me? jasoncorst99@gmail.com

+agatho00 I never thought of it that way, I'll have to try it out and see how it does :)

Correct. This guy has no clue.

+Coffee contrary to what you currently seem to believe gasification stoves burn the smoke from dry wood because it's essentially made of flamable gasses and fine particles. These burn completely producing no smoke when a gasification stove reaches temperature. The wood that I was using was damp thanks to the rains we had gotten prior to the video. The result was water vapor being emitted along with the gasses and particles. Since a gasification stove does not burn hot enough to break H20 down to its base components (hydrogen) and (oxygen) the stove was unable to burn the water vapor resulting in "smoke" being released. Once the vapor had burned off and the wood was dry the stove stopped "smoking" as designed.

wet wood or physics. take your pick. water has to change phase and the amount of energy needed to change phase is huge. it is the one part of global warming the political scientists refuse to address. but, if you watched, as soon as the water vapor boiled off teh secondary burn resumed. I will offer that anyone making a video should not allow for such distractions.

In my opinion the perfection that your asking for is simply not possible with a gasification stove of this size. While yes a perfect gasification produces blue also known a "clear" flames it would also require a larger combustion chamber and a much hotter burn than what these stoves provide, To receive a perfect gasification i would expect the stove to be about the size of a 50 gallon drum. Far to large for a backpacking stove. I believe these backpacking stoves are still miles ahead of your standard box backpacking stoves. Even without complete combustion.

Or how physics works.

It's not. That is what wood gas looks like when it is freshly released from wood.
