Does 10% WATER Improve Alcohol Stove Performance?
Рет қаралды 2,208
Күн бұрынWelcome to my latest experiment where I test whether adding 10% water to an alcohol stove makes a noticeable difference in soot reduction or performance with boil times and run times.
I am using the Goshawk OP-100 Swirling Flame

Denatured alcohol doesnt leave anything on my pots. Been using it for years

The best way to avoid the soot is to use alcohol (methanol or ethanol) without impurities. Methylated spirits are methylated! Stay away from Isopropyl alcohol as well.

Methanol might no longer be added to commercial alcohol these days

No soot when I use HEET. Adding water produced a more orange “cooler” flame.

Great experiment 🔬. As you said, a little bit of water can reduce the heat and make it cook a bit slower, interesting.

An alternate way around, when you don't have a simmer ring, lol.

@@bushgearreview I had not thought of using the water to drop the temperature to help with simmer. Not often but every now and then that will be realy handy

I am going to make a separate bottle up with 10% water and label it 'frying'. The more i use the Goshawk and its little windstand, the more i want to use it. Starting to favour it over the Trangia,

There is a small warning note on the bottle saying not suitable for spirit burners. What else can we use.

Good observation, I never even saw that lol. Probably there to protect themselves legally in case someone does something silly.

Why did you have to run each test twice? Once for discoloration and once for soot? Seems pretty redundant.
@bushgearreview 2 ай бұрын
Mainly to get more data on run and boil times. Also, to try and achieve as much soot as possible, which was limited by the capacity of the burner.
