Alcohol Stoves

[jazzdrum69]

the flame inside heats up the feul so it starts to eveaporate and then the jets on the outside light up as the feul rises up and out of the holes as well...the flames heat the feul so it evaporates...when a pot is put in top it also kinda seals off the top so that the heated evaporating feul can only shoot out of the holes that are already lit...synergistic kinda.

WOW!
I'm seriously impressed with your magical stoves. I got them today, quick delivery! and with in ten mins of opening the box I had boiling water.
Outside temps are 30, one stove didn't get a qt boiling, but two stoves did.
thank you so much, I can't wait to make my first meal with them.

So now that I've had the 2 stoves for a day, I have experimented with them.

This is far from a complaint, just making a note so others woun't try

To see how many ways I could set them up, both for cooking and heating. Only one thing caused a failure.

Don't stack an empty one on top of one that is buring.

it appears that the Al was severely compromised and now soft as could be. I have used it since and it still works, but I think the heavy weight of pot, what's cooking and more heat might make for a problem.

As I said, no complaining here, just wanted to let you guys know there is something you should not try.

Got mine as well. Nice, simple and fully effective. Much more sturdy than the beer can models I've made so far. Thanks!

Note to self: Don't grab the handle of the coffee cup after making hot water. The burned finger is healing nicely after 3 weeks.

Yep, it hurts for a while... but feels great weeks later.

Read in a backpacking magazine to paint the bottom of the cook pots with BBQ black to soak up the heat faster... reducing cook time and fuel used. Tried it and it does work. Burn in the paint before actually cooking stuff to eat.

Hi Shady,

Thanks again for the quick delivery up to Canada. I bought a couple for gifts before Christmas but was so impressed had to get a couple for myself (regular and simmer)

Great product.

Just got my two stoves. Great piece of reuse/recycle.

Thanks

Just sent a little cash for one of your stoves. Another reason to play with fire! What a great teaching tool for physics in the garage with my three boys. Thanks, Neil

Got mine today (all 4 of them) made lunch on one how very cool this is. I am giving two of them out to friends but I was curious about the number of heat cycles you have been through?? I have been through 5 today alone looks like it will hold up to some use.

My humble attempt to ad some stability to this awesome stove.... by luck the holes in the L Brackets line up perfect with the jets. I am trying to find a spring clamp that will work.




When it gets dark I'll ad a photo in use.

Edit: over tightened and caused seam at the top to seperate....... I have another less destructive idea to work on.
