hmm, i cant se the ring of inner holes on that cheap one? is it actually as good as a wildstoves one?
I got mine from this seller, it's the square hole version and works just as well as far as I can tell, they have gone down a bit less than £16 delivered

would anyone agree with this video?
i find that unless i use bone dry seasoned wood then its a cycle of get it going and nice flame , then after a bit starts to die down so add more finger thick twigs and it won't take off will sit and smoke so need to take top off and blow it into action
its the clone I've got

Adding wood to a woodgas stove should temporarily reduce the power until it flares up again. Damp wood is never good no matter how you choose to burn it. Perhaps batton out the drier parts of your fuel when its moist.
To be honest, the only wood-stove I've used that burns well on damp wood is thee Vital stove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1mVzDccG54
Possibly other forced-air stoves would do the same. The only reason this works is that it turns out so much heat (20,000btu) that it dries the wood as it goes!

i built one yesterday at work from tin cans, works great, put half a handful of wood cat litter pellets in burnt for 15 mins then turned to embers, smokeless and worked great, still cant wait to get the none i ordered though as it will be much better for camping as it packs down small
Just received one of these today from aliexpress and I am well chuffed for the money.
I don't know if anyone has tried or even realised that you can use small diameter pots on the mk1 quite easily if you half unfold the supports. You could even file grooves in the other side of the supports to help with the pot gripability (if that is even a word lol) but it seems pretty sturdy as is.

Sonneli.
Long time no speak old chap, not using your Mytimug with the sea to summit on top then....
How do you rate this stove? I'm considering buying one, I prefer the look of the Chinese stove supports rather than the wire type.
What's the packed weight on the aliexpress one?

If you get the chance to try someone else's with the wire supports.....I would give them chance. I use my legitimate wildwood gas stove regularly . I wouldn't go back to using the old supports. Very happy with how the wire ones work.
Just my opinion.

Cheers bud,mthey just look really flimsy in all the pics, and fiddly.
Where in West riding are you?
I got one of these a few weeks ago of aliexpress and still have not got around to trying it. As far as I am concerned though it is likely to always be a cat litter stove. £3.99 for 10kg of the stuff will last me ages and is super cheap compared to anything else such as meths or gas. The way things are going it is getting harder and harder to find a place where you can have a real wood fire and this system seems the nearest way of doing that.
Another Ali special has emerged. Im not getting one but may interest someone
