Get You Own PaleoHikerMD Patches HERE!: www.etsy.com/s... Oh how I love alcohol stoves. I have many, and each is special. That said, some of them have an issue in that they can take a good while to prime, especially in cooler conditions. Stoves which require the alcohol to heat up enough to vaporize can be slow to get going. This can lead to wasting fuel as you wait for the stove to prime. So, how can you prime your stove 10 times faster?

The Trangia was the fastest, but you don't need a priming pan to make it faster. After filling the reservoir to the required level for what you're heating, put a few drops in the gutter that's formed between the cap screw thread and the outer skin. Light that first, the flame primes and transfers to the centre.

For gram weenies, a shiny stainless cupcake liner makes a good priming tray and also reflects heat up to make the stove slightly more efficient. The three little divots on the priming tray prevent heat loss into the ground so it'll greatly reduce priming time and improve stove efficiency and heat output on cold days. The Spiguyver pop can stove primes in a few seconds. Be sure to build the latest version.

That said you only need a few drops around the can lid otherwise like you've shown if you fill the lid fully you get a run away stove combustion. Another better version of this is to just stick the alcohol stove inside a tuna can and light the whole thing with a few drops in the tuna can. Whoosh! That said, you should try out the Lixda Titanium Stove if you're showing people about priming pans, the stove itself has a channel you put some alcohol in after filling to prime the stove quickly.

@danielkutcher5704 4 жыл бұрын

Stoves with pot stands do not need priming, nor do Stoves with big holes like a "Supercat", the lightest, fairly durable, single walled aluminum stove that I know of. No pot stand, no primer plate, packs tiny, and pretty simple to use. I cut a piece of disposable aluminum oven liner to the size of my pot, which probably heats the stove by reflecting heat back, and I routinely get quicker boil times than other tests which I have seen. The flat top of the Trangia will take a few drops of alcohol, which will prime it nicely. Note: titanium doesn't hold heat efficiently, so doesn't make the best alcohol stove material. Copper, brass, and aluminum transfer heat very well, but copper is soft and heavy, brass (Trangia, Brasslite) is harder, but heavier than aluminum, which is also cheap (DIY).

@bobkelly2447 Жыл бұрын

interesting.... I just use a jar lid to set the stove on and dribble some alcohol in it and yes it helps allot ! even on the simplest of stoves ! I made a soup can stove that had a ring of 3/8" holes around the base of the can about 1 1/4" from the base and another ring of holes near the top rim.... just pour in the alcohol into the can and light it ! it's the simplest I've seen yet and works very very good and you can set the pot right on it ! I have the top of a 8" cookie tin I use for the pre heater, but a large jar lid will do the trick as well.

Not being picky ...I've always heard it called , Coming to a bloom or just Blooming when you light the fuel inside the unit. As you said on the Trangia at the 4:20 mark. Priming ( using a 2nd heat source ) would be what you did with the accessory unit ( disk ) the stoves sat on. That would be really helpful with the Vargo alcohol stoves , they take forever. I have tried every one of them and always go back to the Trangia and then the Evernew Titanium. Your 1st 2 stoves look like the White Box Stove which is a really good one. I don't get in a hurry when camping and have used a alcohol stove of some sort for about 60 years now. Today I don't care if the stove of choice is slow since I'm slow today. Like you said , each one is special in it's own right , even my D.I.Y. ones. lol.

I like my trangia pre-heater. I normally only use it when it is cold out. But I can see how this plate has some advantages. First $3 versus $13 and more importantly it fits multiple styles of stoves where the trangia is pretty tight and made specifically for the trangia. It might fit others, I've only used it with my trangia and a little one I made myself. There is also a few priming plates and pot stands in one, I don't think I have one but I can see how those might be easier since it is multi function. Looks like they are around $20 though on a fast search. Anyway, I appreciate you doing all these timing videos. I can't tell you how many I've watched and never done myself lol. Appreciate it ;)

The lighting order sequence is inconsequential. The primary factor in speeding up the bloom time is that the fuel in the inner chamber (to be warmed & compressed for burning from the jet holes) be heated from both the inside and outside walls of the burner simultaneously.

Two questions: 1) how much is the fuel savings with putting fuel in the priming pan? 2) does the wick make the stove so efficient that the priming pan is not going to improve the efficiency or does the wicking interfere with the prime Pan's function?

@robertcwillifordii2630 3 жыл бұрын

The proper function of the priming tray is achieved when you only use as much fuel as to get the jets bloomed and the tray burns out soon thereafter (having used only a small amount of fuel to get the burner going: as opposed to having a hyped up blazing inferno like Erie had going after the jets were lit). ^----This is where you have attained maximum fuel efficiency. The key is to ONLY use as much is necessary to get a bloom. Wicking materials, in my experience, only absorb heat that is supposed to be transfered to the fuel to be compressed in the inner chamber, delaying the bloom... so I don't use them.

@tomnoyb8301 4 жыл бұрын

Capillary Groove Stove insta-primes, weighs 11g and has built-in pot-stand. By far the best alcohol stove (having built and tried dozens). Works better because 1) flame points up, not out, 2) primes fast, because the grooved pot-stand is the inside layer, while the containment vessel is outside. Flame thus sticks close to the inner grooved pot-stand and therefore heats fast. Best implementation uses a bottle-can to provide an alcohol containment chamber near the bottom. Design is on inter-web, but Paleo doesn't have one.

Under the stove, you have a pad you add fuel to, lightning it, to warm up the stove. You don't need to preheat. Just don't pull it down into place.

@robertcwillifordii2630 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly, that curve depends on the ambient temperature. That's why documenting the ambient temp is important, Ala Hiram Cook. The lower the ambient temp, the longer it will take for the jets to bloom (enter the priming tray to save your fuel efficiency day). The other main factor is what the stove/burner is made from. Steel is far inferior at transferring heat through the dense metal walls for compression to take place than aluminum walled burners (thinner is better). Cat Can and Capillary Hoop Stoves are the only ones that do not need a primer tray. All others' fuel efficiency benefit wildly from using a primer tray (and couple that with a windscreen, and your in business).

Some burners seem to have more major flare up, then settled down, others just no drama blooming? Was this burner design or just luck? If you repeat it, each burner might change?

I use a half-gallon V8 juice can lid. Our can opener cuts the seem, not the lid. The result? The lid comes off easily, w/ NO sharp edges.

They seem all unsafe to me because you can not control these types of stoves, and you proved that by having some of the fire on your tabletop. will pass on these types, for I like to control the flame. but you did a great video. Again thanks for doing this video.

Great tip! Have heard of this addition to alcohol burners and forgot about it for yrs…tried a tuna lid and works like a champ on trangia,lixada titanium,and the Tomshoo titanium….thanks Ernie! Made all 3 of these prime to full bloom in 10 seconds or less👍

Do any of your Louisiana ER patients ever do a double-take when they see you or ask if you're the PaleoHikerMD? Just curious. Btw . . . another great video!

I'm a little confused. If someone is deciding on a backpacking stove, and they are concerned about 1 stove taking 15 sec and another taking 60 sec, is your enjoyment of the outdoors make or break on 45 sec?

But are you burning more fuel in the priming pan than it would otherwise burn to self prime?

Thanks for your videos. My solostove 🔥 was always yellow flame. Got an evernew placed inside solo elite boils 8 oz in < 3 min. Thank you!. Will drilling solostove burner holes bigger get me a blue flame?

Ernie, Great 👍video But, 🤔I believe that your MATH is a little but suspect to overstating the best outcomes. For example, the DIY Coors Light stove went from 80 seconds to 10 seconds and you started it was twelve times faster. It's actually about HALF as much at seven times faster🙄⏫❗ 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

I wish more utubers would mention the benefits of priming your stoves..

Great Demo! I want an alcohol stove! Which one should I buy/build? Best bang for the buck? I am a handy-guy.

Look up Hiram Cook Fancy feast on KZfaq. You can learn there how to build one. It is the most trouble free stove. Shut Enery o. KZfaq uses one exclusively as well. I've made and bought alcohol stoves and Fancy Feast is my favorite.
