Love this stove, I cut up an old inner tube and used it to keep the lid on, No leaks👍

It is what it is, I had one and I think it's okay. Seeing it cook is the best test to me and I know it works. Lost mine somewhere on the Fylde coast near Formby so if somebody found it, you've got a good one there.

I don’t normally watch gear reviews coz I prefer cooking and camping videos but that was interesting and I enjoyed it ♥️👍

You can disassemble it (pull the inner just out) and put a wick underneath the little holes. I started with a simlple cloth until my cabon felt arrives. With that it turns into a beast! The preheat time is very short then and the flames got even bigger. Perfect for large pots. Disadvantages: - The quite big inner diameter. So small pots or a cup wound stand on it. - The lid is loose, so you have to pour out excess alcohol.

To me not having a screw lid is no big issue. As long as its secure and doesn't rattle - my pet hate. Carrying a tiny bottle of fuel is not much extra weight. The lid is more to extinguish the flame. Two of my alcohol stoves don't even have lids. At least you can put your leftover fuel back into the bottle and with most stoves it's only a couple of minutes to wait. Speaking of waiting, I think boil time test is a bit irrelevant as you don't choose alcohol stoves when time is of the essence! I suppose worth doing for a laugh 😂

love this stove, I think the design and build is totally solid. peace pall.

Thanks for the more detailed test of this stove. One suggestion, in my experience on the trail I rarely will have occasion with a need to boil more than 500ml/2C of water and this usually requires 30ml/1oz of fuel or less. I think a 30ml burn with 500ml of water would be a good gage for those of us who use a stove in more mobile situations. Keep making the great videos of short overnight adventures!

A small roll of carbon felt would absorb fuel,eliminating liquid excess,smooth out color of flame,and a gas resistant hood over stove,under cap.Then lash down top with a couple of bands.Might be worth a try!😂

Completely agree with your comment on how it could be improved, if it was screw top with an "O" ring seal like the trangia alcohol burner it would be a great little stove. Well presented, interesting and thorough review, well done

Thanks for the review Dan

Brought this stove about five years ago off eBay unbranded along with my Primus LiTech Trek Kettle, both work well together and still in use for hiking and wild camping. Fits in an old SLR camera waterproof camera case and fits on my rucksack so always on hand to make a brew.

Well done Dan ... watched you use it several times and niw a good review of what is a great little stove even tho not perfect in your words. One could get used to quantities of fuel needed I'm sure. Thanks mate. Bushyboy Oz

Had mine a couple of months now, used it mainly bikepacking, for the price point its excellent. It is efficient and yes a screw cap would be useful, but so far havent had to waste fuel. I also use it with the lixada folding stove if i am using a larger (8") frying pan. This combo approach so far has been very flexible.

An earlier version of this stove was my very first camp stove way back in the mid 1990’s. Mine was basically the same but the legs didn’t lock. It’s a fun stove... good for boiling. No simmer control though. The fuel capacity is a bit excessive. It might be nice to be able to burn for 40 minutes... but in most cases I guesstimated a lower fuel level. The inner sleeve on mine was aluminum as it appears to be on this one. That’s fine... but don’t let it sit with methanol in it over night... methanol corrodes aluminum. That happened to me and ruined one of mine. I always added a foil windscreen to mine. I used a wallpaper paste syringe to suck out leftover fuel.

Great video again thanks got two of them after your last video showed them great wee stoves 😍👌👍

Looks a good flame on it mate screw would be better but ya could get used to how much fuel to put in n let it burn out...👍👍👍🤙🤙

Great video, thanks for sharing. like you said shame it doesn't have a screw cap else I would have one

Nice stove burner

Hey Dan bought one after seeing your 1st video on it, best stove i have owned, paid a little more on Amazon but happy doing so knowing i could return it if not happy

I make no screw top DIY stoves (eg one type is a simple cat can stove) where pouring any unused fuel back into a bottle can be messy as it's easy to spill through the jet outlets. As you said, knowing how much fuel and knowing a measure for what you need means you won't have this problem and the stove will burn out soon after boiling. I use a syringe (blunt metal tube, not a sharp needle) from a computer printer ink refill kit I had lying about to measure, and determine how much fuel I needed to make a brew up in a standard sized mug, as that's what I do most between meals. If I don't get it right when estimating on warming up more water than a mug full and do have some fuel left over after boiling, I snuff the stove out, wait for it to cool and use the syringe to suck the fuel out of the stove and squirt it back into the bottle. Nothing wasted.

I've got one best liquid stove out there buddy👍👍👍

I saw a picture of a alcohol stove and had to click the video!

I was waiting for the blue genie to pop out and grant me 3 wishes!! Great video as ever, keep it up pal and keep them simple

I have one or these stoves I cut the bottom off a coke can and when the stove blooms I place the coke can bottom on the stove as not to cover the holes A small hole in the coke can with a coin covering the hole still enables air flow and efficient burn concentrating the flame pattern to the outside of the stove and maybe conserving fuel ,I think. Works well for me though.

Good review 👍 Another good alcohol stove but yes a screw top would be better.

Bought the same Stove Dan , have used it many times, great value for the money £11.99

Needs a screw top and a simmer ring.

Great!

I like the large reservoir, great for the larger pots of water to boil.. a little ring on top of the cap would be handy to extinguish the flames, and it would make it up if the cap was threaded..

Good review buddy. Look like a great little stove.

Love my cheap little Chinese stove

thanks for the video dan.if all goes well with your wood stove then how about you give us what we need?an English woodsman alcohol stove

there is no simmer ring either like the trangia so its pretty much all or nothing stove .thanks for the review

Looks brilliant be handy to have a small funnel to put it bk into bottle you can get funnels that would fit it 👍🏕️

Nice little burner. Would imagine it been steel .will keep clean.

I have one of these. I'm 50/50 with it personally. But I was using methylated spirits. So I'll try alcohol. See if it changes my mind lol.

That's all very well but what stove is it ?????????

you can use the frame of this burner with your Trangia alcohol burner

Just a thought Dan. I bet if you turned the lid upside down and place it in the whole you could use a hexi block. Just another option.

Nice shame about the top which would you say was the best u have used recommend? Dan please

Just get a small funnel and pour the left alcohol back in to the bottle and problem solved

How about stuffing the stove with glass wool? That way there are no "loose" liquid, all of soaked up by the glass wool.

Good review mate, I think not having a tight seal for the fuel is due to the expanding fumes that it could create? Hoping to get out & do some random cook outs soon myself.. Look out for the videos 😊👍🏾

The manufacturer does not want the stove to be put away with fuel....

if it had a screw top it would be perfect. Derek

I think the seal in a screw cap would be damaged if it was used as a snuffer as well.

if the lid wasa screwtop it would be positively dangerous as its hot and pressure would build to a dangerous level so a drop lid is safer

might explode if you could screw the top straight on after using with expanding gases ?

Need to find a round dumpy bottle that will fit in the stove to store the fuel, once it has cooled.

These stoves with large central holes are so wasteful of fuel even when bloomed the flames are still yellow indicating incomplete combustion - i have made beer can stoves that are more efficient - Stay Safe

Couldn't find this stove.. will keep trying

Where is it manufactured ?

please explain why its difficult to get out?

What a load of 💩. ( equipment) another honest video. 👍🏻👍🏻

Love your reviews especially this one I'm now looking into buying one myself

A big positive is the large reservoir for a lengthy cooking session, but I totally agree, a thread on the lid to hold the fluid would be great. Get on to the manufacturers! My Lixada setup... instagram.com/p/CGXIlwNgkCj/?igshid=enf3nqskqvnb

What kind of alcohol fuel do you use mate?

Cannot cook rice here.

Bought one and when arrived was a leg missing off the burner holder so had to send it back 😒
