Here's a link to this item at LighTake.com: goo.gl/RJUokL
This is a review of an outdoor/camping/backpacking cookset and stove from LighTake.com. It is a very low-cost item that might make for a good alternative to the expensive name-brand stuff you can find for a lot more money at the big camping/outdoor stores like REI, EMS and Dick's Sporting Goods... This set costs approximately $20.00 (the price at the website seems to vary almost daily) and is well worth the price (of course you you have to keep in mind that you ARE getting it for a very LOW price). I liked the look and performance of everything. The one issue I had was with the piezo igniter on the stove. It created a spark like it was supposed to, but wouldn't ignite the gas for some reason. Later I figured out that the igniter was simply too close to the burner and when I gave it a little more space it worked perfectly (stay tuned or skip to the end to see it working properly). You might be able to find better quality, higher performance, slightly better design and/or a somewhat lighter product with the name brand sets, but for the price this is an excellent overall value.
I've never dealt with LighTake before and would like to know what others think of the company and its products. They were very pleasant in asking me to review some of their stuff, quick to send it along to me and I was pleasantly surprised by the apparent quality of everything in this set.

Super cool! I ordered three of these stoves for me and my two kids for Christmas! I’m one step ahead of them now on how to use this sweet stove and I’ll get to show them how it functions! ! Good times, good memories!

@gschultz9 2 года назад

Hope they worked out well for you and your kids!

@cupnoodles9711 2 года назад

I've been using this set for a while and I recommend using this for mostly water. I make ramen, oatmeal, coffee and cook vegetables. Not non stick. I have a little 8" skillet I bought from Walmart for $5 that completes this set for outdoor cooking. The little stove is honestly worth the price and it has an igniter not even the expensive brand name ones have igniters. You can also buy the little stove for less than $10 separately and buy a separate cook kit of your choice.

@gschultz9 2 года назад

That's a very good suggestion about limiting the use of something like this for heating water. Thank you for the insight!

@PlayingWithFireOutdoors Год назад

About 4 yrs ago I got a similar set from wish, for use in a Suzuki Samurai. It was a great purchase, i normally used my MSR Whisperlight (it's now for winter use only). But after trying a few different models of the stoves, My version of this is always in my OMG, I broke down bag. A friend and I were coming back from hunting , and witnessed a car accident. The people were kinda shocky, I quickly made some tea and hot chocolate for them and a few other stoppers. Stayed for the police and ambulance, the paramedics were grateful for keeping the under observation and treatment . The surging is from you rotating it, left still they stay pretty good!

@silvanigra 4 года назад

These are sold under various "brand" names for about the same price. Probably made in the same factory in China and branded as per the client's request. I have an identical set sold by the Czech brand Pinguin. But as long as they work, they are a good lightweight choice.

@gschultz9 3 года назад

I'm sure that's exactly the case.

@PaulBuikema 8 лет назад

I just got the same pot set (not the stove) under a different brand name for about $15USD, seemes to work fine so far. I have a cheap Chinese stove similar stove burner that I paid about $7 USD , for cheap kit, its fine, for quality kit I will take my MSR etc for the long run.

@ipscjoe 5 лет назад

Thank you! I adjusted my igniter and works PERFECTLY now 👍

@Arrowdodger 8 лет назад

You know, this is pretty awesome. I could even see the pots being nice in a small apartment, RV, etc, just since those folding handles and stacking like that would free up a lot of space

@SittingWolfParanormal420 2 года назад

tip push the igniter a little bit closer to the burner and it'll work just fine to light it up. however as for a cook set goes I use the Ozark trail 5pc. mess kit with it and the canisters I use are the Coleman propane/butane mixed canisters and I've never had a problem with any of them so far

@treenguyen749 2 года назад

I'm probably defiantly very late but the way to properly light the burner is to rotate the collar which prevents air from mixing into the gas before lighting the stove this prevents gas from just escaping and possibly creating a fireball, once you have the gas lit you can rotate the collar from safety flame to blue flame/ cooking mode or whatever.

@georgehunter7099 Год назад

I bought one of these recently, it only cost £16:58. I have seen it used a number of times so had a good idea of how it worked. Great value.

@marchills4131 8 лет назад

I like how you function test in real time, revealing the issue with the piezo electric ignition. I have a couple of these cheapy stoves and the ignition feature works flawlessly on both. But on one of them, two of those swing out "ears" on the pot supports wouldn't open all the way, preventing the pot from resting completely level. I had to file a little metal in 2 strategic spots to correct the problem. I guess my point is that a lot of what one pays for with the more expensive brands is better materials, better workmanship and - perhaps most importantly - better quality control. But as you and I have discovered, at least some of the deficiencies can be corrected with a little creative fiddling. BTW, I don't have that exact cookset, but do have lots of extra room in mine. Like you I use the extra space for storing the stove and fuel canister, but I've also squeezed in a Bic mini lighter (backup in case the piezo ever does fail), a bandana (also keeps the contents from rattling), a wind screen made with HD aluminum foil, and a half of a sponge scrubby + dish soap stored in a hotel sized shampoo bottle. The scrubby and dish soap go inside a small ziploc baggy.

@gschultz9 8 лет назад

Great ideas for filling up as much of the extra space as possible!

@amanacatandhisdog8836 8 лет назад

Sorry to see some people giving you a hard time for trying out products. I admire you because you disclose what you are doing and I like people who do that like you and Les Stroud etc. Too many people from all walks of life telling others half truths or lies of omission. I like Steve and you and others who do reviews that appear and act authentic. Who aren't trying to be someone they are not. 👍 and thanks.

@gschultz9 8 лет назад

Thank you chris, I appreciate that. I understand that the stuff that people send to me to review were "free", but what (a small part of) the viewers can't seem to understand is that that IS how reviews are generally made. Someone making their first video would probably have to buy their own stuff to review, but now that I've been doing this for five years and have a bit of an audience there are companies that are willing to send me stuff to review. It's not a "payment" or "pay off", just the way things are reviewed. I've mentioned to some people that the restaurant reviews and movie reviews they read or see on TV or the web aren't generally paid for by the reviewers. They are comped, but nobody accuses them of being a sell out. I understand that I'm not a "professional" reviewer, but I do my best to provide as professional a review as I'm capable of. I'm glad that there are more people like you who understand what I'm doing than the minority that simply want a conspiracy theory or just something to complain about.

@BedsitBob 6 лет назад

I've got the stove and, for the price (£5-11 including delivery), it's brilliant. The Piezo ignition works fine on mine.

@EdWood2006 5 лет назад

Where did you buy yours from?

@rockyraab8290 8 лет назад

Based on the dimensions posted, it would seem that the smaller bowl would slip inside the larger one to work as a double boiler. That might be handy.

@brennanmerris9466 8 лет назад

@ksingleton101 4 года назад

I've got a Propane Torch that acts the same way. If you turn the gas up to high it will blow out the spark before it lights the gas. Turning down the gas it lights every time. It's also hard to light out side in the wind but if I turn up the gas just slightly more it lights.

@ipscjoe 5 лет назад

I just got mine today and have the exact problem as yours. I’ll try it again in the morning.

@darq95 8 лет назад

I’ve just been gifted this exact set in a Summer Secret Santa with my friends, and your review is really helpful. Thanks!

@dougeastman 8 лет назад

Cooking an egg in an aluminum pan like that is tough.. even on the lowest flame. I've had luck cycling it on and off the flame repeatedly, keeping it well above. Titanium is even worse. Lots of butter helps :) Looks like a decent set for the price. I wonder if rebuild kits are available for the stove? Be careful cranking the valve down beyond where it seals, you may wear it out.

@TBNTX 8 лет назад

Looks like a cool-set that was modeled after Esbit's CS985HA design, but using a propane burner instead of solid fuel/alcohol.

@Big_John_C 3 года назад

I bought a set to throw in my saddlebags for motocamping, it works just fine for what I need it for and very cheap.

@CP140405 8 лет назад

Nice review. It is interesting to see a review of the equipment someone might use instead of just the food. My son has a very similar set ( different and more well-known brand name) that he picked up at his work with his staff discount. Like this set, it has some trouble getting something to simmer, but if you want to get some water boiling in short order it works just fine.

@CrombatRations 8 лет назад

Nice cooking setup for a nice price. Well it's great egg didn't stick, but it's too narrow for an egg I guess that's why it need's flipping. Thanks for the review. Asger

@thirdhorizon6964 5 лет назад

Quite savvy of you to figure out the issue with that burner!

@gschultz9 5 лет назад

I was feeling kind of bad thinking I was going to have to say it was a complete piece of trash and then thought that since the element was working fine and making a good spark it must be something else. You certainly wouldn't expect to have to push your sparking element closer to the burner (and wouldn't want that to be the case in an expensive camp stove), but it definitely made for a simple solution that worked just fine!

@HappyBear376 3 года назад

I got one of these for work, it's a good bit of kit.

@keithmoore7390 8 лет назад

not bad for $20.00 but durability is the question? his site sounds like the web version of odd or big lots, if so it might be worth checking out once and a while? you can occasionally find a deal there. never have been crazy about those piezo sparkers anyway, seems like every lighter you get with one won't work after you refill the damn thing the first time much rather se a flint sparker!

@yetimangaming9384 5 лет назад

@viz.on7 7 лет назад

Thanks for the video and the explanation, found this video after I order this product already. Although, I bought the pots without the fire stove, for around $9.5. Anyway, do you know if you can use it over a bonfire?

@gschultz9 7 лет назад

I couldn't say for sure, but I don't really see why you couldn't. Considering how hot the flame from the stove can get it doesn't seem like having it over a fire would be a problem.

@mattivirta 2 года назад

i oren just today same bowl, but has different set up, bowl,fry pan, kettle has 21$ i has burner before.

@PaulBissekerBushcraft 7 лет назад

Those piezo ignitions work better if you have the gas on really low. Too fast and it won't light ;)

@gschultz9 7 лет назад

Good tip! The problem I was having with this one was that it was tilted too far from the gas to ignite it. Minor flaw in a super-cheap stove that otherwise worked fine.

@PaulBissekerBushcraft 7 лет назад

Yes i watched it to the end. Just throwing my 2 pence in :)

@helloworldstein 8 лет назад

Not too shabby for about $25 bucks eh? Id kinda be reserved about using a stove of unknown origin since that stuff can go horribly wrong but I doubt its any worse than the generic brands you can get from camping stores vs the more expensive but higher quality name brand stuff.

@mattivirta 2 года назад

no matter what brand have cheap working same than expensive, only idiot waste lot money camping gears because all same parts can buy lot cheapen, etc, mini gas stove gost amazon ower 20$ anb shipping 25$ totally same stove same factory make, cost aliexpress 6$ and FREE shipping, same bowl,fry pan, kettle have all have same factory parts but different price different shop. i buy this bowl,frypan,kettle set whit sponge,cooking tools 14 pcs setup, 20$

@johnnyringo3365 8 лет назад

Thanks for the review. So basically the pots are a go and the burner a dud?

@gschultz9 8 лет назад

It looked like that at first, but I was able to get the igniter to work in the end. Not perfect, but pretty good.

@SittingWolfParanormal420 2 года назад

the stove isn't a dud the only thing you have to do with the igniter is move it a little bit closer to the burner and it'll light up just fine I have the same exact stove that I use on my propane/butane canisters and it works really well

@paladin656 8 лет назад

How well did the 'non stick' coating hold up after being gouged with your metal fork while flipping the egg?

@gschultz9 8 лет назад

I knew someone would mention the scraping sounds! I was going to use a plastic MRE spoon, but was afraid it would melt. Only other option I had was the metal mess kit fork and I didn't realize how bad of an idea it was until it started making all that noise! But, it didn't scrape the finish at all--believe it or not!

@paladin656 8 лет назад

That's pretty cool. More durable than I expected then, though I can't image the coating would hold up well to repeated use at that price point, but that's still a cool lil gadget. Thanks for the reply.

@davem.2191 3 года назад

I bought one of those a couple of years ago. My only issue with it is that the material is not a non-scratch surface. So if you use a metal (fork, spoon, etc) on it it can scratch pretty easily. Otherwise, it's fine for car camping or picnics.

@gschultz9 2 года назад

I would definitely agree with that. Suppose it's the "price you pay" to get something so cheaply.

@gschultz9 6 лет назад

I don't know if there's a "correct" way to clean it. I basically just used hot water and dish detergent. I'm not sure if its dishwasher safe or not. Not really sure why it WOULDN'T be, but since it's a cheap product from overseas I figured I'd play it safe and not put it in the dishwasher.

@소나무향기-v9l 3 года назад

Why isn't ignition working ?

@gschultz9 3 года назад

I thing I mentioned it in the video, but it was simply a matter of the igniter being just a bit too far from the propane stream. All I had to do was press it slightly closer and it worked fine!

That's a very good point I hadn't thought of. Whether the stuff works at all, how well-made it seems to be and the price point are all things to take into consideration, but in the end it IS a cheap no-name product and who knows what the long-term health effects could be from whatever cheap coating they may have put on there...
