WOW! Improved design and more affordable vs. Emberlit, for virtually the same (light) weight!
This "JOYOOO Camping Stove,Portable Folding Wood Stove Lightweight Pure Titanium Stove, Stainless Steel Alcohol Stove Outdoor Picnic BBQ Backpacking Camping Cooking Stove (Titanium)" is an OUTSTANDING deal. I've owned (and loved) the original Emberlit titanium stove for over four years so when I saw the surprisingly low price on this one, I decided to give it a try and was highly skeptical of its quality. After considerable times spent with this stove, I can say that compared with the Emberlit, this Joyooo titanium flatpack stove is only slightly larger and heavier (210g vs. 165g), yet nearly as packable, slightly more rigid, slightly more refined in its design (better airflow and easier to feed wood), includes a serviceable nylon carry case, and is capable of burning larger sticks and generating higher BTUs due to its moderately increased volume, at LESS THAN HALF THE COST! Honestly, I'm impressed and despite being someone who counts grams, I'm fairly convinced this one is worth the extra weight over the Emberlit, not just because of the lower cost, but the substantially improved airflow, easier feeding, and greater stability.The Emberlit stove is fantastic, but suffers from some drawbacks when it comes to airflow. When you light it up, it burns beautifully, but as soon as you set a large pot on top of it, it is prone to smoking unless you are burning perfectly dry, seasoned hardwood and have built up a moderate bed of coals. Even then, it seems prone to suffocating and smoking. I fixed that by drilling holes in the upper support fins to increase the amount of air available for cleaner combustion. That made a substantial difference, but if you make this modification, make sure you understand how to drill sheet metal properly and cleanly, and size and locate the holes carefully so that you don't compromise the upper structural rigidity needed to support a pot. To be fair, the Joyooo stove required this same modification, as it exhibited the same tendency to suffocate when covered by a large (1L+ pot)--albeit slightly less smoky, probably due to the increased volume of the slightly larger Joyooo stove.The bigger design difference between the two stoves is the solid baseplate of the Emberlit, which does not allow the updraft to draw supply air through the coal bed. The result is that the Emberlit tends to collect a bed comprised of white, smoldering ash as much, or more, than the substantial, red-hot coals one desires for cooking. By contrast, this Joyoo stove has a thoroughly perforated bottom which allows it to build up beautiful, large, glowing red coals that make it considerably easier to maintain a smokeless fire and to re-ignite flames by feeding in fresh twigs atop the coal bed. The only downside is that the perforated bottom allows ash to drop through to the ground, making it much messier beneath the stove and moderately less safe to operate if you're on really dry, combustible terrain. An easy fix is to take a small piece of heavy duty aluminum foil folded over on itself a few times to give it thickness, and slightly larger than the footprint of the stove. This makes a very light, effective ash pan.The other big design difference is the spacious feed door on the Joyoo, which is more than twice as large as the opening on the Emberlit. Although I initially had concerns that the Joyooo's opening might be too large, resulting in less effective updraft, it turned out to work considerably well. In fact, on my Emberlit, I eventually added a 1.5" diameter hole in one of its side panels to give me additional airflow and more space to feed in wood at right angles to the wood inserted through its small main door. This made the Emberlit easier to feed and keep burning hot, but it compromised some of the wind-resistance of the stove in high winds by creating another open passageway in one of its sides. With the Joyoo, the main feed door is so large already that there is terrific airflow and the wood/sticks you insert can be crossed by spreading them out at varying angles of entry, yet the other three (solid) sides effectively block high winds to keep things relatively safely contained. The reason crossing sticks is important, as you likely have discovered if you've ever played with fire, is that crossed/intersecting sticks generally burn hotter and maintain better airflow for flame combustion than parallel sticks. Parallel sticks or logs often gradually compact and collapse together as they burn, suffocating the airflow needed to maintain a hot flame, or else spread apart, which reduces the heat needed for efficient combustion--either way increasing the amount of smoke. This may sound like a small issue (and arguably, it is), but the point is that a smaller feed door which requires fuel to be fed in parallel takes noticeably more attention to "manage" (i.e., keep shifting/re-settling) the sticks to maintain proper airflow and combustion; whereas the Joyooo's much larger feed door lets you just jam in the wood at intersecting angles for less fuss and easier/hotter burning, or alternatively, to insert several larger 1" to 2" diameter logs (some of which would not fit through the Emberlit's opening) atop an established coal bed for a slower, longer-lasting burn that is perfect for cooking delicate foods, slow-roasting thicker meats, or generating moderate heat inside an appropriately constructed shelter.Before I came across this stove, I have routinely recommended the Emberlit original titanium flatpack stove as the best all-around bushcraft/camping stove for 2-4 adults. Given the cost savings and especially the refined design elements, I think the Joyooo is equal to, or even slightly preferable over, the Emberlit. If your a gram-weenie and not on a budget, you may still want to stick with the Emberlit to save about 50 grams of weight, but otherwise, the Joyooo titanium is the way to go. Highly recommended!

Excllent Chinese knockoff
This stove is an excellent Chinese knockoff of the Emberlit stove. It fits together very well by a designed in friction fit. I have the smaller Emberlit stove which is much harder to assemble. The smaller Emberlit has an upper small shelf which can be used with Esbit type fuel tabs. The Joyooo stove does not have a provision for burning fuel tabs and they even state in the description it is for "wood only". So the pictures on the Amazon page are misleading. The picture also shows charcoal which might not be an appropriate fuel to use.The big positive is the price that is less than half what an Emberlit goes for. The shipping was very quick also, it arrived 9 days before the due date.I have always considered these type of camp stoves to be a 2 fuel appliance using either wood scraps or a Trangia type alcohol burner. I will try the stove in several days when it stops raining. I've used a number of stoves like this one and they all produce about the same results.I tried it with a small Trangia alcohol burner and it boiled 1.5 quarts of water in about twenty minutes and used up most of the alcohol. Not exactly stellar performance, but could be better if I set the burner on something about 1.5 inches high.

Good stove at a great price
Just received this twig stove and did a first fire. Stove performed very well and heated 2 cups of water to a boil in about 5 minutes, after first 5 minutes building up the fire. My unit weighs 7.8 oz, With the cover/sleeve its 8 oz total. It does appear to be titanium, though it does feel different than my titanium cups/pots. After heating it did take on the same coloring that my other titanium items did, so perhaps it is. It is much lighter than the stainless steel versions out there, and what I cared about was weight and price. There seems to be a single Chinese factory producing these and sellers sticking their name on them. This one delivered, though I did reduce by a star because the weight was heavier than stated in the product description.

Perfect for my uses
I wanted to get a compact, simple camp stove that I could put in my backpack pocket, and that would withstand high temperatures and be sturdy enough to cook on. This stove ended up being absolutely perfect. I see no reason to buy something more expensive unless you are counting ounces and would benefit from one that is just barely lighter.This stove is so convenient- I'm glad I didn't buy one that requires propane. Some people who were camping with me (for reasons unknown to me) took the stove and put it in the middle of the fire put, and piled logs on top of it. I guess that was the real test of durability. When I found it, I checked its frame, and the stove was totally fine.Discoloration will likely happen upon the first use, if you get it hot enough. The stove can boil about 2 quarts of water much faster than my electric stove in my kitchen- I didn't have a timer on me. But you can get it as hot as you want, and way hotter than you would need. It just depends on the volume of sticks/burning materials that you feed into it.

Seguridad, comodidad y facilidad de uso
Es excelente. Muy seguro y prende fenomenal. Ideal para cocinar o calentar líquidos. El depósito es pequeño y obliga tener que echar cada poco palitos pequeños de leña, carbon o astillas de madera, pero de esta forma no nos “olvidamos” del fuego. No ocupa nada de espacio. Para mí, después de 4 acampadas, me ha resultado ideal. Ojo, si no se espera uno a tener ascuas, puede quemar los recipientes, así que hay que asegurarse de que el material (cazos, sartenes) son apropiados.

Joyooo? Chi lo sa...
Arrivato con la solita puntualità che contraddistingue Amazon. Valuto 3 stelle perchè, pur non avendolo ancora provato sul campo, sono rimasto deluso dall'anonimità del prodotto. Nessun bugiardino, nè stampa del nome del produttore Joyooo su nessun lato del fornello (come del resto è riprodotto nella foto ). Mi sarebbe piaciuto verificare la reale corrispondenza del prodotto acquistato

Compact et pratique
Acheté dans le cadre de mes voyages en van - ne prends absolument pas de place et très légé je ne l'ai pas encore utilisé car je l'ai pris en cas de pénurie de gaz mais il ne me semble pas compliqué a se servir de cet objet
