Certainly, glad I could give you some ideas. Its still a work in progress, once I figure out the whole set up I will do another vid. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Just add a couple of round metal scouring pads. They fit perfectly. Works on mine.

will burn on oil do you think like animal oil

sure will. it will let in more air and the chimney effect will kick in. I am an alcohol stove designer. the Perfected Super Cat that increased the fuel economy about 100% the Mahalo stove that was designed to work with small pots. took 60 degree water to a 212 degree rolling boil on 17 mls alcohol. the ultimate stove takes 64 degree water to a 208 degree rolling boil on 12.5-13 mls the turbo stove. alcohol stove with carbon felt wicks. the Topsy Turvy stove. increased fuel economy over Intense Anglers V8 stove or Smokeeater 908 Rollover stove.

Safe as long as the flame is blue, burning efficiently. I almost died a few weeks ago experimenting with alcohol indoors. If it's starved for oxygen and burning yellow/orange, you will be producing enough CO to be dangerous or deadly.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to have a CO detector nearby.

In your house none of this is cheap for long hours of heat. This burns out in minutes, requiring more pricey alcohol snd constant care. Kerosene heater burns 8 hrs for $4 on pump kerosene and produces 1000x more heat. In a tent..is this safe: Till you knock it over and the flame follows the spreading alcohol soaked ground cloth or worse yet nylon tent tub floor trapping you in melting flaming tent. If the tent is canvas, just use a RR lantern. Makes more heat, safer, longer, cleaner and is meant to survive being jostled in a barn. Don't like kerosene, then a candle lantern or two.. even a candle in a jar. Cat heater is $20 and a $4 propane can. It is engineered NOT TO KILL YOU. Nylon tent...nothing...just wrap up and go to bed.

@@STho205 , that's why I got a board , a small piece of wedlding blanket large enough to cover the board. Then I put a small wire trash can upside down over the heater with latches to latch it to the board . It is not going to get knocked over. I use denatured alcohol in mine.

The normal steel wool oxidize and burn. The stainless steel scrubby balls might be a better option. Less reactive. Some kind of ceramic might be better still. Like how you do the tea candle and plant pot space heater trick. Just not sure what kind of construction would be best for it.

Steel wool burns

alcohol burns very clean, you won't need to worry about carbon monoxide, but flame consumes oxygen, so in an airtight coach, your burning up oxygen with a flame, just like you do with breathing. Tiny amount of ventilation will be all you need.

@@COREYEIB1969 thanks!

like what corey said. I've done something similar to what you're asking. There isn't much chance of it killing you, but you might notice a difference in the air after a few hours. It's hard to describe exactly.. but it just feels different. Doesn't make you sick or dizzy or anything, and a stove like this will only burn for maybe 45 minutes tops. Should you actually fall unconscious for some reason it will definitely burn out before you die.

another side note, alcohol doesn't actually burn that "clean," you will end up with a decent amount of soot

I actually did that (not on video, I need to do an update) and it works amazing. No need for the can, just the alcohol stove with the elbow over it. Thanks for watching!

Did about 18 mins burn time before it died.. but you are right, even one my smaller copper coil stoves would burn a whole lot longer. Thanks for watching!

My tip is to stop trying to kiss your alcohol burner . Then your lips wont stick 👍

absolutely true. it will not set off carbon monoxide detectors either. I use alcohol stoves indoors 3-4 times a day. been using alcohol stoves for 7 years. I live in RV 24/7 I save my propane for the furnace

I've been doing it for many years and you are correct. As for Mato statement, I even put it directly under a carbon monoxide for over an hour as a test like 3 times and nothing but sweet warm heat

I think the biggest fear of having alcohol stoves in tents isn't necessarily the fumes coming from it, rather the chance of it getting knocked over and catching the tent on fire.

You have to treat it like a candle. Minus the booze.

On a cold nite I simply light it and enjoy the heat. Before going to sleep I blow it out & burrough into my sleeping bag. When I wake I light it again for instant heat.

MrBeal Hello! I have read about this, and candles were used, have u used denatured alcohol with the pots? If so, which do u think is better at heating, and longer lasting? Thank u

Idk man. Flash fire due to Super hot fumes is a dangerous thing.

Thanks!

Candles burn much longer, but the trade off is heat. Alcohol burns much hotter.

You can blow it out, but also just covering it with another cup will put it out as well. Thanks for watching!

It ran for about 18 mins, but I did not fill it up 100%. The HEET burns at a slightly faster rate than the alcohol (at least to me) but not enough to make a huge difference. .

around 7 minutes per oz of alcohol if you're using the 90%+ stuff

Cool did not know that.. I will have to hunt around for some.

ever clear or the one that comes in the qt bottle ( mason type ) clear moon shine any high octane hooch works well for it just bloody expensive but if ya need heat in enclosed space it do the job

That is what I was thinking, I dont know any moonshiners here lol so It would have to be everclear. :)

cant speak for your liquor stores but hear and in WV ( iv seen it in both places ) is a brand of moon shine don't remember the exact name but ask for it of the clerk they will know what I'm referring to its clear as water and has a yellow-ish label best of recollection

I have actually seen that brand in the local tobacco and liquor store here, no idea the name brand, but I know what one you are talking about.. I will have to try it out.

ii Have Noo clue But ii Love The price Tag @ any 🇺🇸 Dollar🌲Tree & 99¢Cent stores ALLways sell it very cheap For a Big 🇺🇸 Bottle For a 🇺🇸 Buck

I did a video a while back on my Coleman propane oven, its a neat device, and runs on those small 1 lb propane cans. Its probably 1 and 1/2 foot by 1 and 1/2 foot in size, but I DID make a video a few weeks ago on how to turn 2 #10 cans (metal coffee cans) into an oven here. I cooked some bannok bread in it. It works great and it was pretty much free. Its right here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z91kpbWJ2Zm5Ypc.html

Thanks a bunch man! keep up the awesome work, you'll have a gold play button from youtube in no time. ;)

7 minutes per oz. so for this setup, you're looking at about 35-40 minutes before you need to dump out the water and refill

denatured alcohol is fine indoors. I have a carbon monoxide detector about 5 feet from where I have used alcohol stoves for 7 years. the detector has NEVER gone off. denatured, methanol, grain alcohol burn with a blue flame. its the red and yellow flames that create carbon monoxide. NEVER burn Isopropol alcohol indoors.

MatoNupai Hello! I never read what’s n rubbing alcohol, what I’m asking is, is denatured, methanol, grain alcohol...the same as rubbing alcohol??? If not, where do I get it??? Seeing how u have many years of experience with this, may I ask ur advice? I live n a house (sticks and bricks) n winter I do not turn on heat, layered up, I’m okay to -30, sometimes less if the wind isn’t blowing, when I feel too cold I turn on a small heater fan. I’m very frugal and do with little, but getting older, the cold gets colder. Question: a few years now I’ve toyed with the idea of taking thick mil plastic, draping it like a tent to the width and length of a van, using this method or candles to heat it. Ur advice on this please. Thank u

@@joybickerstaff194 Every alcohol burns. Alcohol is just a chain of carbon-hydrogen with OH (hydroxy group). As MatoNupai noticed, the colour of the flame is an indication of "cleaniness" of the burn. Bright blue flame means that fuel has enough oxygen to burn all carbon into CO2 and water. Red flame and sud means there is not enough oxygen and flame releases not completly burned atoms of carbon and and carbon monoxide. The only thing incorrect is that you can burn "safely" any fuel if you change all carbon in it into a CO2. It doesn't matter if it is methyl, ethyl or propyl alcohol. But every burning process will release also other chemicals, because air and fuel contains more things in it. So you can safely burn isopropyl alcohol in the same way you can burn methyl or ethyl alcohol. It only requires more oxygen. Improperly designed or manufactured (aka home made) stoves have much higher chance to have this redox reaction to be partial. Which means not all carbon will be burned completly and it will produce CO - carbon monoxide which is DEADLY for us. Also clean burning things in an enclosed small space is a bad idea. CO2 produced by ANY burning process can also kill you. If it gets to 10% concentration in your small, air tight bag/cube, you are dead too. The only good thing is that you will feel bad, short of breath before it reaches deadly concentration. Every room that is heated with any flame, must be ventilated.

You would need a cotton wick to burn oil, but then you would get a bit more smoke when it is burning.

I wouldn't. oil burns with a yellow flames. the carbon monoxide could kill you. only blue flames are safe indoors.

Yeah chewed it up on rocks at the range playing around.. and it never healed right because I lean on it all day while working on the computer. Its way better than it used to be. It was even uglier. lol

Its a small stove under it so you would need to fill it probably about 8 or so times in a 24 hour period.

Yeah use it in the garage where I do my videos, Its been beat up a bit but it still warms up the area pretty well before shooting a video

@@Iridium242 that's awesome. Thanks for sharing. I hope your are safe and well during these times. I'll like and subscribe

I have some up, planning on doing more this year as I do refinishing, and lots of gun work. I also work part time in a gun shop so you think I would have tons more lol but more will come in time. I have some parkerinzing/refinishing videos up from last year and a few years ago. I will be going to the shot show this year too so look for those videos as well. Thanks for watching!

Iridium242 i saw the browning high power video after i committed lol. I subscribed to your channel and will be keeping an eye out. The coil burner was pretty cool. I think ill try a double burner version see if it works. Lol

Cool, when you do the double burner let me know. I want to see if it will work. I actually parkerized that browning for a friend, about 3 months later he wanted money for another project and sold it to me.. so its now mine.. nice how that worked out.

Iridium242 lol I've acquired a few arms that way myself. I was thinking of trying parkerizeing my mosin project but ive never done it before lol.

I would suggest bioethanol as hand sanitizer is usually about 60 - 70% isopropyl and will give off smoke.

@@philschneiderapreciationclub Thank you! Ill start looking into it! Isnt it nice when youtube comments are actually community rather than trolls? Preciate you paul!

@@LordTimothious you're welcome!

Alot of hand sanitisers contain water so bubble and pop when they burn . Methylated spirit is nice to burn
