Thread: Alcohol Stove DIY

got some pics of my capillary stove, sorry its a bit dark in the shed but you get the idea. I cant find my bottle one, think it got crushed but they are easy as to make.

follow tektobas instructions and it will be sweet, make sure you use the right measurements and can sizes - yes you can find them here. its all about the height of the stove which determines the efficiency and what not of them

but, they aren't shit hot for boiling water, if your cold and hungry id use my jetboil 10 times over. great little noveltly but you wont save any weight in the end and not as efficient as a jetboil either. not that great in cold weather, any sort of wind or at altitude. all right in the garage though !

if you build the hoop stove right, it will "roar" when fully up to temperature

That stove is pretty cool mate.
What did you make the stand out of?

Yeah I know what you mean regarding the wind and altitude my purple one is really temperamental.
The Tui stove seems alright with a bit of wind (using a windscreen) haven't tried at altitude yet.

Don't have a Jetboil myself just an old Kovea head that sits on top of a butane canister .

That's a good looking solution. Can you stop one of these stoves once it's lit, or do you just wait for it to burn out?
