Mike, I learned a really great trick from another KZfaqr (who’s channel name escapes me at the moment. I’m old and have advanced CRS) for lighting alcohol stoves. He fills the stove with fuel, gets about a 10” long twig and dips it in the stove/fuel, then he lights the twig and uses that to light the fuel. Yes it sounds like a lot of extra steps, until you try it. It only adds a few extra seconds to the process and get your darned hand well out of the way 😆

Excellent video, I laughed out loud a couple of times. You have a great sense of humour, well done!

Love your take on things. Keep doing videos

Great video. Thank you

Looks very good. Burner, pan, and pancake.

I like that style of stove. Simplicity at its finest! I hate it when foods try to get away before I get to eat it. Thanks for sharing Mike.

Nice stove and pancakes. Thanks.

LOL!!!AWESOME. Loved it!

I enjoyed your video thoroughly, thank you Sir.

lard-cooked cakes are wonderful! :) and the crisp at the edges just perfectly. thanks for the share! :D

Wow😊❤

We used to say 5 second rule . Good for the immunities.

Yeah the inox thing is how a lot of the opinels are listed. Glad to see ya mention Bear. Used to watch him weekly, havent received any notifications. I check occasionally and see he is producing less content the last yr or so. Cool little set up. My little backyard camp right in the woods across the barn lot i could see burying that thing for the most part. Of course with the fire anchor/squirrel cooker not sure it would get used much. Nice having a stove sometimes and not have to worry about a full blown fire. Great video Mike

I just bought a little burner exactly like yours a couple weeks ago, although mine did not come with the fancy pot stand. I love those things.

You go. Mike!!

A little grit just adds texture. And since it's cooked, it won't hurt you

You can put tent pegs through the holes in the stand, and that will keep smaller cups or pots up.

Hello from the UK! I managed to find two 7" cold handle skillets when i lived in the US, and i still have them. They are treasured possessions.

Cool video sir ,thanks .God bless you and your family and happy camping 🏕 🙏 😊. Lee

Mike, my Crazy Power stove just arrived! I like it a lot so far. I’ll have to light it later on for the full test lol Thanks for bringing this to my attention via your video 👍🏻

Hey Mike, as always enjoyed the video, like the stove have a great blessed day.

I’d eat it too, buddy !

2 thin tent stakes...like the Shephard's hook ones that come with cheap tents or tarps....through the vent holes, to keep smaller pots/cups than the top of it, from sliding down like your coffee pot did. Keep up the great work !!!

Nice video. Nice cold handle pan.

Thanks for a fun video, You're easy & fun to watch mate. Stay well & safe .. Cheers.

I have the same of other Brand. It Work perfectly

I bought one! This thing is a flame thrower! I boiled 5 eggs in around 10 minutes in an aluminum pan with probably 4 cups of water. It does smoke so you need ventilation but it throws out a nice flame that engulfed the entire bottom of the pan!

Awesome video. I love alcohol stoves. You got me hooked. 🤗. I wonder if you could turn the holder upside down so your kettle will balance on it. Not sure if it would get enough air if the vents are close to the ground but it might work in a pinch. Thanks for sharing 🤙👍🤗

Shame about the pancake, it was looking good too. Good recovery. Love the new stove. The pot stand is really nice. You got quite a bit out of that 2 ounces of fuel. Good job! Fun video Mike. I really enjoyed it.

That pancake looked yummy. I hate you lost the first one. Have you ever used the simmer ring on those knock off stoves? You can control the heat a little with them so they aren’t just full on heat coming out. Great post as always, Mike!

Great review Mike. You can't beat those stoves. What fry pan is that your using? I've seen many people using that one but can't find out what brand it is. Keep those video's coming Buddy. I'm enjoying them.

Darn it Mike! Ya cost me $18! (I got the one with 2 stoves and there’s a 20% coupon!!!) You and your cool stuff. Every week it’s something else I didn’t know I needed lol

If you want to use your small pot with this stove take a metal coat hanger and cut two skewers a little longer than the wind screen is wide. Put a twist in each end so they don't poke a hole in your gear. Place them parallel to each other through the holes in the top of the stove screen and your pot will sit level on them. Alcohol stoves are great. They are lite weight and never break.

You like to try different alcohol stoves , have you tried one of the stoves from Goshawk from Australia ? I got one of their Steampunk EDDY-X stoves which includes the pot stand for it. It's all brass and similar to the trangia except for a few modifications that makes it better. For starters it will come to a full bloom between 12 and 15 seconds. The flame is tighter and more directed thanks to the jets in it. On fuel I like denatured unless I'm baking something then it a 190 proof food grade alcohol ( no poisons in it ) which I get from the liquor store.

Really enjoyed this, first watch of your channel

To fix the issue with your smaller jug/pot not sitting on the the burner shroud, will it work if you invert the the shroud? That way, you get a double size stove. I realise that there is only one set of air holes around the outer edge and those would then be at the bottom, but it may just work and after all, it has a hole in the base that suggests it could be used either way up? Maybe worth experimenting with.

10 second rule! 😂

Bic makes a lighter with an extension for the flame to reach the alcohol w/o burning your knuckles. $3. well worth it!. Tent pegs inserted in the top holes should keep the pot from falling through....or cut a piece of hardware cloth to fit the round top.

Nice video bro greetings from the uk 👍🏻🇬🇧

Good review. Could you flip the aluminum pot stand upside-down for the smaller pot. It's got a whole in the bottom. Maybe that's why. 🤷

Gotta be a better pancake than some of the big meals we had in the Army…Have you ever seen one of those burners cracked!!! I got one in the mail that was full time cracks even the lid was..

I would consider turning the pot rest over.

Wonder if you turned it upside down you could put the smaller pot on it. Inox is stainless steel in French, Spanish , an I believe Italian

I'll bet you could do a good Rodney Dangerfield imitation if you tried

I’m with you, I’d eat that escaped pancake. 😊

9:19 😆🤣😳

Why not put two titanium tent stakes through the square holes of the pot stand and set the small pot on the sidewise tent pegs?

Cool video. Curious does that pot stand double as a wood burning stove (with twigs)? And does this stove come with 2 alcohol burners?

Well I was gonna close this night out and grab some 💤 but I gotta watch this and see what Magic Mike’s got going on 🤗

Why the hole in the bottom? The burner gets hot! If there is over spill you need a bottom to contain the spill!

Put camp nails thru the holes for your pot to sit on.

You don’t have to worry about old crisco being bad for you because it started out as slow poison when new.

thats very similar to the slightly smaller esbit stand.

😳🤦🤣🤣

thats a neat stand, for the smaller pots you could probably turn it over but all the ones Im seeing have the criss cross metal stand included

Does the outer holder gets hot during use or does it stay relatively cold?

😂😂😂

INOX is short for Inoxydable the European way of describing Stainless

Since your pot fell through the stand when oriented one way, don't you think you could have flipped the stand over and used it upside down? That might even be the reason that the "bottom" is cut out on the stand. Also, the stand looks like it was meant to be used as a twig stove as well.

The poor pancake was murdered!

It's okay I would have eaten it too

Add a pinch of salt to your fuel and it turns the flame orange.

Yes, like an alcohol burner for the day hikes, have one like yours but my stand is a plainer design, I'd have been tempted if I'd seen one called Crazy Power! Good Stuff!!!!

What did your momma always tell you about playing with uour food!?!?🤨😒🙄😬 That is a very cool stove thingy. If i need a new one, id be most interested, but right now, i got more thingys that i dont use. Crisco for the save! That's a very good idea for a back up. Have you ever tried the butter flavored crisco? Im not sure how it would be for frying. I just might have to test it out. Thanks for the video. But i think I'm gonna pass on your version of a "grit cake".😉👍🏻😎🔥😃

add a touch of salt to your alcohol so you cab see the flame

I'm wondering if that stove would burn Crisco ...

You call him "ugly looking" that's why he jumped out 😂

Lovely piece of kit...appreciated the review so much have ordered one for use here in the UK. We are devoted followers/users of the original Trangia systems but have also tried the copies and find them good too. Thank you for sharing your views and the demonstration. Stay well, Stay safe.

I don't measure mych when cooking outdoors.

New alcohol stove... just one more copycat of Trangia B25. 😁

Trangia, fancy feast, what next? Sorry, you’re going over ground long since trodden.

This could have been a three minute video, but no you gabble on about nothing. 🤦‍♂

Talks to much
