Here is something you more than likely already know, but on the off chance you don't, here goes. When I use my Solo Stove, I load it up and let it burn down, load it again, let it burn for a bit then I put my kettle on. The coals alone produce enough heat to boil my water, but, I like to go nuclear so the second round of wood flames up burning most of the smoke off, resulting in little to no soot. As you mentioned, we can't get away from soot altogether, but this process comes as close as we can get. Thank you for the video, I've enjoyed many of yours and I will continue to work my way through them all. Thank you for sharing and all my best to you. Bibsoutdoors
Thanks my friend 👍🏻😁 Yeah it has definitely evolved over the years … and hopefully for the better 👌🏻😇. Appreciate your feedback very much and I’m grateful that your watching some of my older videos to🙏🏻 Stay safe my friend and enjoy life 🌤🌲🏕🦌🔥🇩🇰 Tom
great review, I will get mine soon. I follow your channel and like your videos. thanks for your honest reviews. bushcraft gear Is not expensive but also not cheap. your reviews, honest reviews, helped me to do smart buys. now my gear is complete with these wood gas stove. wish you many more adventures in nature.
Thank you so much Andrés 😁👍🏻 for your very kind words It warms my heart and makes me happy 😃 … thanks friend The Solo Stove is still one of my favourite items I always bring with me on my hikes 🌲 Atb to you my friend 🏕🔥Tom
I really appreciate your review. I went with the Solo Stove Lite over the Titan. I really wasn't sure why you went with the larger one being it was used for just one person. I so enjoy your videos... thank you!
Thanks for your feedback on my solo stove review 👍🏻😁 I bought the Titan because it’s a little bit larger … so I don’t have to feed it with twigs so often 🤔 But it’s a small detail that doesn’t matter much ☺️ The fact is that it’s a great stove for Bushcrafters 🔥🌤
I have been looking at this stove for a while, I like how it all nest together and the fire is contained in a nice tight area. So when you are done cooking or using it, you can make sure it is totally out before you leave the area. Love that and with is being contained it cuts down on fires getting out of hand in less than desirable conditions. Agreed totally with you, be a much safer alternative to some of the other stoves, especially for the lunch time deals where you will be moving after you eat etc. I have that same metal coffee cup as the one in this video, it is light and durable, but will burn the crud out of your lips if you are impatient like I normally am, so looking forward to carving my own wooden coffee mug sometime in the near future,. Fun stuff my friend, I appreciate you taking the time to share this stove with us. Keep us posted on the suit issues with the new stove. I know you will use it a lot and make a lot of coffee with it, so you will be able to tell us soon how well it is doing. Thanks again and have a blessed weekend. Dale
Hi Dale 👌🏻 Yes 👍🏻 😄 I love my solo stove and after having used it for quite a while … I still think it awesome and very durable. I hope I can get my fingers on one of the small ones and make a review of that to 👍🏻😊 Thanks for your feedback and support 👌🏻😊
As a fairly recent owner of the smaller version, you may also want to look at the solo stove site and some other reviews to learn more about the concept of a "top down" burn that is unique to this type of stove . . . glad you were able to enjoy the great outdoors!
Great video and review. I like both stoves. All of your gear I have seen is really cool. Good deal, we all learn and grow as you go my friend.Thanks Tennessee
I agree with Jeff. You have good taste and make good choices with your gear. I think I like the Solo Stove better too, but all your gear is well chosen, Mr. Cimbrer.
Excellent demonstration! I purchased the Titan and Bush Pot 1800 around the end of the year (2019) and Solo Stove had a deal going where I got two Titan stoves for the price of one. Today I had to pick up another Bush Pot 1800 to go with the free Titan. I'm impressed with the quality of the gear and how it stows together.
Yeah it’s really a great stove and I’ve used mine a lot 🔥 It’s easy to light up and keep going and the most important thing for me … it’s clean to handle. Congrats with the awesome deal 👌🏻😉 🏕🌲 Tom
@@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag Thank you Tom. How have the bags that come with the stove and pot held up? It would add more weight but I'm thinking of waxed canvas bag large enough to hold the nested duo of stove & pot. John
the reburn feature is the gasifier that superheats the air and causes the gases to be burned as well, almost eliminating smoke once the stove gets going! great stove, I have the small SoloStove Lite
Well done Tom. I am new to your channel and have watched a number of your more recent videos before this. An impressive stove. I like your 'prepare ahead of time' methodology with your large tinder pouch. You could also do this with your 'next fire twig set' rolled up in a 30 cm x 30 cm piece of cloth. I had a look on the Internet for more stove & pot details details - seems a very good application of 'rocket stove' design; with innovation. My Thai wife cooks on a Thai fire bucket (rocket stove concept) every day, using only dried twigs from our garden. She enjoys the time for reflection as she cooks. Her tinder is 2 cm x 5 cm pieces of motorcycle inner tube. We have a beautifully appointed indoor western style kitchen; not used very much. This stove and cook systems seems very fuel-efficient to cook with, economical to run and of sturdy construction. A 6 inch Chinese bamboo steamer should sit on the top of the pot adding variety to your cooking styles and meal preparation. Thank you again, Greg in Thailand
Thanks Greg for sharing your thoughts about stove and cooking. It sounds like you have a wonderful wife that can prepare some nice food to your both. Send my regards to her 😊👍🏻 Atb to you and your family
Thank you for another great video. I have a similar Chinese copy and it works well for short, intense cooking, like boiling water. I find the folding stoves better for long periods of cooking though, as they burn slower and I can feed in long branches. I look forward to more of your very polished and professional productions, I don't know how you manage to generate so many good ideas for subjects to film.
Thank you so much Anthony for your kind and positive feedback 👍🏻😊 I agree with you about the stoves 👌🏻🔥 But as I tell in my video … I prefer the Solo Stove because it’s cleaner to handle 👋🏻😇 I’m glad you appreciate my video quality … that means a lot to me 🙏🏻😎 thanks Hope you’ll have a wonderful weekend and holidays 🌤🔥
@@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag , I agree it is cleaner, but it also takes more space. Then again, I store my fire kit inside and I also carry leather work gloves so my hands don't get too dirty with any stove. Have you heard the English saying "different horses for different courses?" Plus, I think part of the enjoyment is having different kit and trying out different combinations. I don't have anyone in the real world to discuss these things with, so talking to you and others on RU-vid is the next best thing.
The only question I was going to ask was if you had to wait for it to cool down before handling it (in case you had to pick it up to move it), but you already answered it towards the end of the video!
That’s right Danny 😊👍🏻 it never gets so hot that you can’t handle it without gloves 👋🏻🔥 … at least at the bottom 😇👌🏻 Thanks for your feedback and important question 🛶🏕🔥 Tom
Did you have any luck firing up the twigs? For some very weird reason I have not been able to start the fire on twigs to even use my Solo Stove... I even used a lighter to light up the twigs for minutes the fire starts and then die in 30 seconds. I tried again and again and again with no result. I am thinking about using a flame thrower to fire the damn thing...
Hmmm maybe you use to big twigs ? I start with very small ones … no bigger than a pencil And it has to be completely dry. Let me know if my suggestion helps 😊👍🏻🔥
@@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag I used the tiny ones. I tried to light the thing with a lighter for minutes and it does catch fire but dies off in 15 secs~ 30 sec. I tried this at two different times. I held the stick with my hand to fire these.. I can't say the twigs were 100% dried but it seems very odd why fire doesn't stay using a lighter. What if you run into a situation where the twigs are slightly damp due to moist in the air or in a rainy day? Even if the twigs were covered with a tarp firing up these twigs would be completely impossible based on my experience I can't even light up the damn dried twigs how am I gonna fire up slightly damp twigs? I am concerned cause I'll be moving out to the wilderness and live in a tent soon.. I would be doomed.. I was even thinking of buying a flame thrower maybe that will do the trick. You know what forget it I think I'll just go with the propane gas stove....
I have a plethora of stoves. Two FireBox Stoves (the big one and the Nano), a couple Chinese gassifier knock-offs of the SilverFire Scout, some box-style stoves of various sizes, a stainless steel knock-off of a Toaks Titanium Stove, and three Solo Stoves. Please don't tell my wife :-) My most recent acquisition is the Solo Stove Titan and the 1800 pot like yours. I put a small gauge screen in the burn chamber so I could use it with wood pellets. People get very long burn times with this type of fuel. I'm not a manly man like you, so I'm waiting for a real nice day to test it out. :-)
Don't know about you but....I used BOTH, wood pellets & lump charcoal & I personally found that the wood pellets produced ALIT MORE smoke & soot. Lump charcoal was the CLEANEST burning with very LITTLE soot whatsoever. 😎👍
Just placed an order yesterday for a very similar one, Nova Explorer II Woodgas Stove. Anxious to get it going. It was a bargain, only 29,90 €. Original price was 49,90 €.
I have two of the Titan model. It puts out enough flame to cook enough for 5 of us. Was gonna get the campfire but thought it might be a bit heavy or big carrying it around.
Great it can provide warm enough for 5 people 🔥👌🏻🥩 I agree with you about the campfire … a little bit to big Thanks for your feedback Atb to you my friend 😎
you can stack the fire chamber almost full with split wood then light it from the top The fire will catch and burn down It is a very fast way to use the stove and will cook hot for a long time
Cimbrer Bushcraft really enjoyed it mate and the fact that the guy who inspired you Norwegian Woods, I actually saw his video as well so when you mentioned him I felt like a genius 😂 that I know everyone!!! Small world hey! Cheers from Australia!! Stay safe ✌️
Birch is a good quality hard wood for fire stoves. Burns very fast though but its cleaner and safer than say a terpene rich softwood like pine. I prefer birch as a starter and then I mix with slow burners like Oak, Ash or Beech which burn slower with very little soot.
Getting away from backpacking and into Bushcraft (yes, many similarities, many differences) but have to say, you guys kill me by not having a French press. So much attention to detail and high quality gear, only to be followed up with instant coffee. Have seen a more recent video where you have coarse grounds so there may be hope for you, lol. Seriously, appreciate your videos!
Thank you so much for your feedback 👍🏻😊 It’s long time since I used instant coffee … now I only drink my cowboy coffee 👌🏻😇 😋 French press coffee is also nice I think 🤔 … Atb to you
Hi there! Just started watching your videos and I ma loving them, I learn something on every of your videos. Just one question, I am from Italy and I’m searching for the SoloStove Titan and pot, But I can’t find them anywhere! Can you please give me some advices? Thanks a lot and keep on posting your adventures ;) Lorenzo
Hi Lorenzo. Nice to have you as a subscriber 👍🏻😁 I love 🇮🇹 Italy very much. www.solostove.com/solo-stove-titan/ I bought mine on Amazon.de And I can see they still sell them … just look it up. 178 € Hope you can find it 👍🏻
Tom, that must be your "I am in a hurry Kit?" hehe. Instant coffee instead of cowboy coffee? Vape instead of Pipe(but thought I saw you with the pipe earlier), and no Whiskey? Oh my gosh what happen to the whiskey my friend? haha.. New stove seems cleaner and more efficient, Viking Knife looked cool. Thanks for sharing Sir, I appreciate it, thank you for sharing :) My best to the Family Mic
I was so tired I didn't even notice the date on it. haha. My bad. Well I am glad it wasn't a case of being with no Whiskey hehe. I was also wondering why your tea kettle was missing, because you had not gotten it yet. Hope you had a Great Weekend, ;) ATB MIC
Great stove just seems like a major overkill for a single person, even two if you’re willing to wait a few minutes for boiling water. I’m trying to decide the Solo Lite or Titan for my use car. Major weight different. But I do love that bail not available on the 900ml nesting pot.
I prefer the Titan because it has a larger burn chamber … which means that you don’t have to feed it all the time 😇 And for me … the weight doesn’t matter … my old school gear is always a bit heavy 😉👌🏻🌤🌲🔥🥩🥓 Thanks for your feedback I appreciate that very much
Thanks Gibby for your suggestion 😁👍🏻 appreciate that my friend. I know about the Kelly Kettle but never had one… I’m sure it’s a great stove 🤗 but I also think it’s a big one … and will take up more room than my Solo Stove 🤔 but I would definitely like to try one sometime 🏕🔥🌲🌤 Tom 🇩🇰
How deep is the Titan if you want to stack wood vertically? From the top of the nichrome grate to bottom of the lip before adding potstand ring. For top down burn what length twigs?
Would be great if you can maybe do a review of this again after say a year? Was it all you expected/hoped it would be by then. ^^ Anyways, tnx for sharing, be safe and have fun out there :)
Hi Dutch. That’s an awesome idea 👍🏻 I think I’ll do just that here during the spring. Thanks for your idea … but I can already tell you 🤔 that I’m still VERY fond of the stove
Does the Titan give heat in the winter? I have the Lite and it does not give much heat. I was thinking of getting the Campfire but if the Titan provides heat in winter I think I may opt for that one.
Thanks Peter for your feedback and question 👍🏻😁 No the Titan doesn’t make much heat neither 🤔 It’s because it’s isolated by the two walls …and its actually the reason why I bought it 👌🏻😉 It’s more safe to use on the ground … can’t get so hut that it ignites the dry grass etc 👌🏻 Atb to you my friend 🏕🔥🌲
Hi Tim … well the Titan that I uses is for 2-3 people.… so I believe that’s the limit. But I’ve just put a video out where I make some hot food on it. Check that out. 😊👍🏻
Yes of course 🤗 You need a piece of hand soap … then apply a thin layer on the pots ore kettle. Rub it in where there normally will be black colour after the fire 🔥 Then when you come home and clean the pots and kettle it’s easier to get the pots clean After washing and drying … apply a layer of soap again 👍🏻 You have to do it every time … you clean your pots …
Cimbrer Bushcraft Thank you so much. I will take your advice. I ordered myself the same Solo Stove as you have, thanks to your video. I really enjoy watching you go out and enjoying nature. All the best to you my friend. -Stephen, Ohio U.S.A.
I'm a big guy like you, so I'm always curious how people our size handle things in the woods. You did real well, if I do say so. I've got a Solo Stove Lite with the 900 ml Pot. I've thought of getting the larger Titan model, but didn't know if I could justify the cost. Thanks for the video.
Hi William 👋🏻 thanks for your comment and support. I bought the Titan because I saw a video review of it … and decided that the one … a little bit bigger … was the Best Buy for my purposes. 🤗😉👍🏻
Thanks for watching some of my older videos 😁👍🏻 and for your feedback and question. It’s the Titan model I have and use in this video Atb to you 🏕🔥🌲🇩🇰Tom
Hi Torstein 👋🏻😁 great to hear from you my friend 😉 I’m glad you asked about that There is no black burning spot under the stove … in fact it’s so cool at the bottom that you can lift it without using gloves It’s really an awesome stove Appreciate your feedback very much and hope you’ll join me again on my next one 🔥🏕 Tom
If you put dishwashing liquid on your pot, right out of the bottle n smear it all over the bottom n side of your pot/pan/skillet, it will wash right up n be clean in no time, as will your hands n the bag you use to store it in.. Old " Boy Scout", technique for camp cooking . Even with cast iron equipment.. Give it a try , ATB from Florida!
Jeg mener en Kelly Kettle kan godt slå !? men det er simpelhan så stor !! jeg brug min til Base camp på lang camping ture. Det ser ud til solo stove virker rigtig godt !
Hi Tom Kan du anbefale at købe Solo Stove gennem deres egen hjemmeside, eller er der bedre alternativer? Her tænker jeg på at få sendt fra USA til DK (skat + told). Tak for en meget informativ kanal, og god jul :-)
Hej Jan 👍🏻😁 dejligt at høre fra dig. Jeg købte min på eBay og det var her i Europa … så er jeg sikker på ikke at skulle betale den trælse told mm. Tak for dit spørgsmål 👍🏻😎
I really like your videos, except I’m a little disappointed with this one, no wooden cup and no whisky, just kidding, keep up the great videos. What kind of saw is that? Cheers from Canada.
Yeah off course it’s smaller and easier to use 🤔👌🏻😊 but I like the stove because I always call find twigs as fuel Never run out of that 💪🏻😎🔥 See you on the next one 🏕🌲 Tom
@@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag thats true then make fire as we no how to do i used to date an canadanlass her dad was a full true native. i never met him but she was a looker. but stuban lol.
Thanks for your feedback and question 👍🏻😉 it’s a Silky saw … the pocket boy : www.lamnia.com/en/p/10451/tools/silky-pocket-boy-6-7-medium-teeth-camp-saw You can find links for most of my gear on my website 😉👌🏻 Cimbrer Bushcraft.com 🏕🔥 Tom
My apologies to you Tom, it wasn’t an order, just a matter of curiosity. You have been a massive influence on my choices of gear and understanding of bushcraft and I admire and respect you greatly. I always eagerly anticipate your videos and enjoy them with thanks. Best wishes to you from Sussex, UK. :) Ps. How do i find Chaga?
I understand completely 👍🏻 And I always listen to what my subscribers have to say to me It’s on my wish list 👌🏻😁⛺️ Chaga is only on birch trees in the Northern Hemisphere … and Denmark is the lowest place you can find it ( approximately) … so it’s not certain you can find it where you live 🤔😏🌲🌳. Sorry 😐 But keep looking 👌🏻😉 perhaps you can be lucky 😁 Atb to you my friend ⛺️🌤🔥
Cimbrer Bushcraft well, I could not resist the temptation any longer and I just ordered a Titan and 1800 pot. All I need to do next, is to grow a beard and start smoking a pipe ;). But seriously, thank you very much for videoing your trips to the forest, I find them inspiring. I didn’t find any Chaga today but one day I will and i’ll think of you when I make tea from it. Best wishes, Darryl, UK.
Hi Darryl 👋🏻 I’m sure you would regret buying the Titan model 👍🏻😊 it’s very versatile and you’ll love the clean burning and that it doesn’t gets hot 🔥 at the bottom …so you can move it if you need👌🏻 And I think you should grow that 🧔🏻 👍🏻. Better luck next time on your chaga Hunt 🦌 Atb to you 🌲🔥🌤🌳🦌⛺️
Hi Rich … that’s actually a great idea 👍🏻😁 thanks 🙏🏻 … The forest I’m in on that video is called Lundby forest translated into English it means Grovetown 👌🏻🌲
Yes google earth 🌏 is amazing 👍🏻 Lundby forest is just around 5 km ( 3 miles ) from where I live ( Klarup ) 👌🏻 So it’s very close and a nice place for a short hike 😊👍🏻
I have my bushbuddy for several years now.....and use it a lot on long distance trips and in the morning often on alcohol..so i can do other things while the water will boil. But see nothing about it on your video..is it to big...i mean i can imagine you have to put a fishcan under it so the alcoholburner will be close to the pot... Still having doubts to buy it or not..as its also bigger... anyway you can find me on Fb kayak cobber no profile overhere
Hi 👋🏻 I’ve never used an alcohol burner in my solo stov … if that’s what you are talking about. But I do have a tranglia burner that I’ve used some time ago. But if I’m going on a longer trip 👍🏻 I’ll bring it along Atb to you my friend 😁🙏🏻🔥
Att the moment I’m using my Bushbox stove 👍🏻😁 because I want to have it more like a small bonfire 🔥. I’m cooking al kind of food on my stoves … just watch some of my other videos. Thanks Steven for your feedback 🏕🔥🌤🦌🌲 Tom

Hello. I live in Germany in Niebüll. It is about 10 minutes away from Denmark. The nearest town is Tønder. I watched your video and I saw that you overnighted in a shelter somewhere in DK. Can you please tell me the location? Did it cost to overnight there? I would like to visit the place with my girlfriend. Maybe this summer or in the next. We want to try the Wild-Camping, and I thought it was a good opportunity to do that. I would be happy about your answer With greetings.
Yeah at the time I had my instant coffee in such a one But don’t use it anymore 😉 now that I make my coffee out of corse grains coffee 💪🏻😊 Atb to you my friend 🔥🏕🌲 Tom
These stoves are top burning… why use small pieces?… I use 3inch diameter cut to 5 to 6 inch length and split… put those standing up and loaded full… smaller twigs and starters on top… for a minimum of 40 to 45 minutes of flames with no refilling…
Hi Jasper … that’s awesome and cool if you have the skills to do that. I myself love to make gears for Bushcraft, but I’ve never tried making a wood gas stove 😏🤔🤗
its dead easy you need 3 different food tins a computer fan 12vt batterie holder batteries rivets or with out or self tapping screws scissors or sheet metal cutters a awl,the inner tin must perferated make holes in it cut slots around it and fold over the outer bigger tin the bigger tin make a whole on the side so the other small tin with computer fan fits horizontal, place wood in it and turn on the fan
