In this video I show how I build a alcohol burner from a 1oz aluminum screw cap tin. I also show a burn test of the burner.
Do not use the burner lid to extinguish the flame, It doesn't always work, one or two sharp breaths will usually do.
Burner weight: 0.5oz / 14g
Boil time for 16oz 52dg water: 10:15
Burn time on apx 1oz alcohol: 17:00
Burner materials: Aluminum screw on tin, 1oz size (2"/52mm x 0.8"/20mm)
Carbon felt
Stainless steel wire mesh

I mentioned in the video that the lid could be used to extinguish the burner. I later found that it doesn't always work. I find one or two sharp breaths will usually extinguish the flame.

As another retiree (in my 80s) who likes to piddle with various projects, I enjoyed your very clear & step-by-step instructions. It is good to know that there are other Old Timers who enjoy this kind of fun! May God bless you & yours!

@April4YHWH

Well done video! Former sheet metal worker here, you’ve done us proud with your wee project. 😊

@MelloGee33

Cool idea, but it's only "lightweight" to a certain extent. You still have to lug around one or more fuel bottles filled with fuel, which will add to the overall weight of your pack load. On a side note, I went to a local Party City retail store and bought a 12 pack of Sterno cans for $10. The cannisters are small, compact, they travel easy, are re-sealable, and you get almost 3 hours of burn-time out of one Sterno can. Just an option.

I did a similar thing but instead of carbon felt I used some coarse vermiculite I had left over from gardening, does anyone know if the carbon felt holds more alcohol or burns hotter than perlite / vermiculite?

@daleweller5193

If you know someone who has a pellet rifle, the pellet tins work very well.

@etno2010

too complicated...just fill can wiht alcohol...😜

@AuditorsUnited

ive seen others do tests and they say vermiculite is the best

@liisaelts7522

For the mesh, I have dismantled an old kitchen sieve before. Takes a bit prying, but they work.

@seaneddymusic

How often would you need to replace the felt?

👍👍👍 .. nice 😊.

I made 6 of them for friends, they love them. Great if you just want a cup of coffee made.

@DollyTheLlama

I made something similar not long ago, only wrapped it with duct tape to seal it. These would be great single use stoves for day hikes. I tested mine out with my 550 ml cup and, though I didn't time it, it was quicker than I thought it would be and comparable with my cat cat stove.

I have been looking for a way to make cheap effective stoves to add to my diy 24 hour meal bags. I have a lot of different stoves for my use but just want to be prepared in case I need to give out a few bags and they can keep these stoves. Thank you for your tutorial and I ordered a dozen of 2 oz tins for $12.
