Remember the Canway Wood Stove?
This is its competition which features a very similar design but there are some important differences.
Is it Better or is it Worse?
This is my review of the TOMSHOO Wood Stove!
..
Link : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
Weight : 14.1oz for the stove and legs; the entire stove and all components is 1.06lbs
Price : $20
Recently I reviewed the Canway Wood Stove and this stove from Tomshoo is very similar. In fact, it shares in essentially the same design but with some minor changes.
First off it is lighter weight than the Canway stove as it features thinner metal. The pot support system is different as well.
Wood and Alcohol Stove
There is two versions of this stove, this one and a version which has a handle on the bottom support. That version is $30 and isn’t worth the money in my opinion.
…
· Sturdy & Stable: This camping stove made of durable stainless steel. The windproof serrated cross stand offers a stable platform for your cookware and increases heat contact.
· Unique Design, Efficient Burning: The wood stove has the double wall inside makes cold air to be heated fast when entering the chamber, thus significantly improve burning efficiency.
· Unlimited Fuel: Use the twigs, leaves, branches, wood as fuel to cook a meal on your hike, and the stove includes a tray to hold solid alcohol fuel.
· Foldable & Lightweight: Easily collapsible into a compact size (5.4" x 2.8") and packed in the mesh carrying sack for convenient storage. At only 1 pound.
· What You Get:1*TOMSHOO Camping Stove,1*Alcohol Tray, 1*BBQ Grill Net 1*Mesh Storage Sack, 12-month worry-free warranty and friendly customer service.
….
Pros :
Good quality gasifer stove.
Good design, simple to put together
Stable!
Very good quality - no flex at all- impressive for $20
With good materials, it takes roughly 3 minutes for the gasification process to start and the stove is ready to go.
Wind resistant.
Thanks to the size, it can burn for a very long time and it is easier to simmer with than some wood stoves.
Coals will stay hot very a very long time
Good quality mesh bag.
Centralized flame
Legs are solid into place, stable
Comes with the grill over which is awesome
You don’t have to use the included alcohol plate, you can uses a different stove if you want to. If you were going to, I would leave all of this at home and built a pot stand out of sticks or rocks
Compatible with any cup or pot - this can’t be said with all wood burning stoves.
Cons :
Doesn’t feel as substantial as other wood stoves, which is especially true with the Canway stove in mind.
Summary :
You all know that I like wood stoves like this and with the Tomshoo stove, the trend continues. The design isn’t unique but it is different than some of the other stoves on the market. It is lighter weight and for some, that will be important.

It’s counter intuitive, but I’ve learned a top down burn is preferred with these. I fill the chamber with thumb to finger sized hardwood (splits even better). Packed tight. I light a tiny twig fire on top. (A starter tab helps but is not mandatory). As the twig coals filter in the gaps, the hardwood catches, giving a mini Swedish torch effect. Up to 15 min burn time before it goes to coals which maintain a low heat for another 15 to 20. This method allows you to make a pot of rice from intense boil down to a steamy long simmer 30 mins covered with NO REFUELING. With dry splits of hardwood, the top down method will boil 40 oz of water without having to stuff sticks in during the burn. Takes practice, but doable.

My little grille is also concave. If you have an extremely small cup, you can use the little grille without the crossbars.

@JessTaylorReed 3 года назад

I have this stove and love its simplicity. Couple things to mention for those heading outside with a family: If you're like me, you're cooking for more than just one person. I use the a MSR Alpine 1.6 liter pot with this stove. It allows me to carry the pot with the stove inside. Heavy - yes, but I'm cooking for 3 - it is also a wider pot. This makes feeding the fire much more difficult. I also have a difficult time keeping the flame going on the calmest of days. I have remedied this by purchasing a silicone drinking straw to blow on the coals to bring it back to life. No more watery eyes and runny nose from sticking my face up to the stove to blow on the coals. Pros: Here in Wisconsin, there is free fuel everywhere. As long as it is dry fuel, you're good to go. (tip - gather WAAAAY more than you think you'll need.) This stove also works perfectly no matter how cold it is outside. No need to warm up cold fuel cans against your nice warm body. I love this stove!

Thanks for this review Luke, and please, continue to review budget products, it really helps! Appreciate your approach and sincerity input on every review. Strength and Honor

@boggledegop 5 лет назад

I have this stove and would recommend it to anyone looking for one. I like the fact that the pot holder portion fixes in place and doesn't have those thin moving legs (they seem like a weak point in my opinion), and the little grill is a nice addition as well. The grill mine came with was in good condition, no bends or defects, and the bag was in good condition as well, no loose stitching. Money well spent in my opinion.

@ronaldrose7593 5 лет назад

Hello Luke, great review on the Tomshoo stove. Keep up those great reviews. The very best you, Suzie and family. 🤗

@stefanozebralight518 Год назад

I bought this in 2018 identical to the one in the video. Yesterday I bought the updated version which is taller and has the handle. The updated version, in addition to being slightly larger and higher, has a much larger ash tray (it is exactly as large as the diameter of the stove, so the risk of igniting the ground below is zero. I must say that you had bad luck with your carrying bag, in both stoves my black bag is perfect and has no damaged threads. Thanks for the video

@oxxnarrdflame8865 5 лет назад

I prefer that stove over the others. Pot stand is definitely best, it will handle many different size pots with stability. As for the bag, for $20 bucks you can’t expect a Prada. 😊

@9demirtas 5 лет назад

The grill is actually very useful. After flame is out, you can remove the windscreen and put the grill on top to cook a good size steak, sausages and whatnot for one person.

@barrybrum 4 года назад

Do you do much grilling? Cleaning the stove after grilling a steak on top of it must be quite a job. Baked on grease and juices that run down the inside and outside of the stove would be hard to remove. Also meat grease dripping down into the coals would flame up, and with no way to move the grill and meat farther away from the flames, would burn the meat.

@cokleecuz4824 4 года назад

Dayum brumfield your grill must be clean and looking new every time you used it huh yeah the grease will drip down but heat and fire will get most of it burnt off it's a little grill for c sake not a pot or pan

@akinma 4 года назад

I'd mostly grill (small) fish (fillets) and maybe veggies with this, not so much meat, but I'm sure you could grill a reasonable sized steak with it if you prefer that.

I have that Tomshoo and have used it for the past 2 summers. I love it. I've also used it as a base/wind guard for my Trangia, on days where I didn't have access to wood. So far it has served me well, with no problems whatsoever. For the price, in my opinion, it gives me the best bang for the buck and it's a lot of fun to use. Great review Luke.

@ogr8bearded175 4 года назад

I bought one a couple months back. Love it! I put thumb to two fingers wide pieces of wood standing up in bottom but below the gasifier holes and then top with my tinder to light. From this way of filling I've gotten 20 minutes burn and another 10 minutes of decent heat. I wouldn't recommend using it on top of wood like in the video....maybe having the ash catcher under made it okay.

@bertman4 5 лет назад

I have the same exact stove. I got it because of the pot support structure. Unfortunately it is the only really cheap part and does not sit well/level. Other than that, it works great! I've used it with wood but I've also used wood pellets like you would use in a smoker. That also works great. I've used a small cast iron skillet on it and that works really well.

@waynerenshaw-multi-outdoor4521 5 лет назад

I have the same but the top section has 4 prongs that swing out for larger pots, I've used wood but burns quickly then I tried wood pellets, but the secret to the wood pellets is if you use cotton wool shove it in the middle of the wood pellets, add a bit of metholated spirit in to the wool, and this will help the wood pellets to start the burn, and have it 3/4 high of wood pellets, light the cotton wool , and this will give instant burn time of at least 45 to 50mins which is perfect for boiling potatoes and other veg in a big pan ... which I'll be doing this week whilst myself and Angie are camping, also I'll be using my Biolite stove with wood pellets to as it last longer plus bbq grill with it, and in the morning I'm using an Alpkit Jetboil type stove for a quick brew ... 😉👍🍺🍺 love your reviews Luke. .. ps try it with wood pellets and as they are hard to get to burn quickly use some cotton wool and lighter fuel soaked in the cotton wool , and you can literally start cooking ..

@dennisobrien3618 4 года назад

I have an inexpensive eBay stove similar to this one. I ordered a top piece from Silverfire since it's a copy of their Scout stove, which works much better than what it came with. These stoves all burn well, but they really excel with wood pellets. They also fit perfectly in an MSR 650ml pot with the handle that folds over the lid and latches in place.

@captainfragger6295 4 года назад

Thanks Luke. Definitely I'll give it a try. Looks pretty good.

@metalmonkee2896 3 года назад

They work great with pellets also. About 20 minutes burn time for each cup of pellets and you don't have to keep feeding it. The grill works great for toasting bread once the flame goes out.

I've been checking these on Amazon, and there's also Lixada and a half-dozen or more other brands with exactly the same stove. So what's likely happening is that a couple of Chinese factories are rebranding these stoves under a number of different names to increase sales. Capitalism, Chinese style... :-D

But for $20 you can't beat that stove for sure.

@snowflakemelter1172 4 года назад

I have the same stove, if you drill out the square holes in the base with a step drill and increase the air flow the burn is much cleaner and the charcoal phase burns the fuel fully. One of the rules you find out from experience is not to add fuel above the height of the internal air holes . Thinner steel is better, the kind of temperatures in the stove won't degrade stainless steel so thicker metal won't be any benefit, the only worry is that Cheap Chinese stainless steel can be a very low chromium content and some of it will actually corrode.

@rogierius Год назад

Can I aldo drill extra holes instead of drilling out the square holes?

@delanos53 3 года назад

Got it in. It now comes with a grilling grate with a handle Amazon had the best price. Just tried it with finely split hard wood. Tested it in the kitchen sink lol to see if it set off the smoke detector or CO detector and neither went off. Boiling a cup of water in like a minute. Rolling boil. It's simmering right now over the coals. Good review totally agree. It's going with me on my next camping trip. It's half the size of my old cheesie battery operated unit.

@halibut1249 5 лет назад

If you expect to boil coffee water with this before thru-hiking all day to your next campsite, you'll have to wait for it to cool down so you can put it in your pack. So you need to decide if this cooking system will work for you. Also not sure if wood-burning flames are permitted in all states/trails, so need to check. THANKS for your review, Luke!!

@theoneeyedwoodsman4726 5 лет назад

To some, it might be worth noting that this design of stove nests snugly inside the MSR Stowaway Pot 775ml. However, the downside of the MSR pot is that the lid is designed in such a way that what ever rain water runs off the lid goes inside the pot

@northwind9505 3 года назад

I did buy one. Worked great. I always thought that stainless steel would no rust. Well with the heat of the stove and damp weather it does not!. The inside rusted away in a year. I have learned now to treat these stoves with a mineral oil to help them last.

@robertshirley1672 Год назад

If kept dry during the course of the camping trip, it will nicely avoid any rust. But I also carry a 3 x 5 “ microfiber cloth-sprayed with a WD40 type of oil & kept in a zip-loc bag. Keeping the stove dry is key, and easy to do as well especially when stored.

I have one of these and like it a lot. Like another commenter, I really like the little grill, too. That grill is one of those things it is nearly impossible to find on its own, at least here in the U.S. I also like the removeable cross-brace pot support over the hinged kind on other stoves. It is the little things that make this stove kinda great. At least for me.

I bought one of these to keep in the car - fire is good. This review seems right on point, particularly that the grate is remarkably, um, inexpensive. It burns pretty well, and nests neatly in the MSR Alpine 775mm pot. I consider it an inexpensive SHTF piece of insurance, along with the ability to have an impromptu camp fire at the cottage or hotel [where allowed ;)].

There seems to be several of these floating around under different generic brands. I have basically the same one under a different name without the grill. Even came with the same crumby mesh bag. The stove is pretty great though. If you do want to be able to use it for an alcohol stove the civilian version of the Trangia fits in it nicely and it acts as a wind break and pot support and is far cheaper then the Trangia Triangle and is more versatile.

Bought the Lixada, no grill but can fit folded into a zebra pot/sandwich pot, very convenient and when burning properly it does not smoke, just as the fire is growing and diminishing does it smoke. I tend to douse it in water to stop the fire smoking much, at the end of cooking. The advantage is being able to collect fuel, even damp fuel as you go along.
