You should stick a nail through the jet holes and push up to angle the holes upwards, as far as it will go. I believe this concentrates the flames and increases the heat transfer. I do this for all of mine.

My favorite part of this video is watching how you used tape for your measurements, that's something I'll be taking with me to other projects far beyond stoves.

I bought a similar stove .. A 'White Box Stove'. It's made from a heavier gauge Aluminium with a Roll Seal at the top .. a little Gem. More expensive and a bit heavier .. yes. But as robust, and perhaps more, as anything out there .. can take most any pot weight and fits very nicely into my little Aluminium Kettle.

Ernie you actually made the Perfect alcohol stove. It’s strong enough to stand on Relatively light weight Works with almost any cook pot FRON titanium cup -7 inch wide pot. WELL DONE)

Very interesting idea but unfortunately those kind of aluminium bottles are not available in my area In Canada. I made a mod to the fancyfeast alcohol stove, in place of the tomato paste can I use aluminium can from Perrier spark link water or coconut water that the same diameter as the tomato paste can. That way I bring my stove to 14g. The FancyFeast stove is by far my favorite specially in our cold Canadian winter because it ignite easier when te pâture are far below the freezing point.

Nice stove. A lot harder to make than the Fancy Feast so there is that. And the Fancy Feast is sturdier. Be careful with yours. That and Hiram determined a 1 inch height above the jets is optimal. Also notches in the top help keep it from sealing. Just some thoughts. Well done.

Cool Ernie, thanks!!!!!

Great video. Thanks for the experimentation.

NICE! Very clever with using the neck-down part of the bottle.

they really work good

I appreciate your videos for the way you share what works for you. I have been trying to tweak my kit to find something light, durable, and most importantly, efficient. With all of the info shared by yourself, and others, I have already made some changes. Thanks again, and keep experimenting, so people like me can steal, I mean adopt your ideas.

Yes I saw these, and have made multiple stoves. But I also just left the bottle (and cap) alone. Push in a massively long navy mop dreadlock as a wick. Pour in alcohol. Can pull out dreadlock as a single wick, or unwind for 4-6 wicks outside hanging and down outside of the bottle. If you make some long copper metal "L" wires, put into the wick and bottle. Pull out and thread through dreadlock wicks for greater horizontal flame circumference and heat. Wobbly - no! Just dig a little hole in the dirt, and pack dirt around, and have cook pot above with grill, rocks or whatever! Metal bottle is entire stove and alcohol flask (6 ounces). Can also input citronella essential oil (for skeeter control candle). Melt wax onto outside wick - and push hot wax wick into bottle, pour in remaining volume alcohol) - wick burns both wax (as candle slow and hot) and alcohol (high heat). When done, extinguish wicks, push back inside, and put cap back on. Can use and hang inside tent - as SAFE tent warmer, emergency hand/crotch shelter warmer, .... Total fire carry.

Ótimo vídeo Parabéns muito bom isso 👍

Really wish I'd kept some of the metal bottles I got in the US to make one of these, not seen metal bottles in my own country.

I've found that, since carbon felt's attribute is to absorb heat, it takes longer to warm the inner chamber alcohol to temp to where it blooms, so I don't use "wicks" in my burners or stoves (because it wastes alcohol, with the extended blooming time, making the burner or stove less fuel efficient - MUCH less efficient). I highly recommend using priming fuel around every burner or stove to increase the overall fuel efficiency that is gained from light to bloom, and the earlier bloom to runout. Coupled with a windscreen/cone and lid, my boil times are blazing fast (I have one that is sub 4 min).

I think my ultimate diy stove will have a pipe in the middle or some other way to introduce air to the mixture. Maybe a pipe with holes for ethanol vapor in it creating a chimney effect.

Given the difference the height of the cat can stove makes on efficiency, have you played around with the height of the jet holes to see if you can make it more efficient?

Nice

Nice video. Question. How much did your stove weigh after adding the carbon felt?

Don't have the tools to make one but it looks great.

C'est merveilleux ! Je vais faire de la randonner dans les Adirondack dans deux semaine j'essayerai de trouver la canette que tu utilise dans un dépanneur quelque part à LakePlacide ! Je suis du Quebec et nous n'avons pas ce format de canette 😫 ! Si je n'en trouve pas cest possible de m'en envoyer une vide par la poste ! Je t'enverrai bien sûre un montant $$ qui couvriront les frais de transport ! Merci et je te redonne des nouvelles bientôt !

Good job!. These "type" need a pan or lid on top to force the "jets" to burn. Saves fuel, a lot! Also, need to cut small opposite side notches ~1/8" deep, in top "rim". It helps with heat difference with stove and pan. Felt not really useful in this design, great for Fancy Feast stove. These are much stronger and more durable than a soda can stove. Thank you.

Could I ask you how tall the bottom bottle cut is. Thanks

What is the physical size of the bottle? Is it a 200ml bottle? Just have one spirit stove without stand looks to be a good solution when hiking.

I know this is an old video now, but does anyone know if these bottles are available in the UK?

Would this work with cans?

Hi, enjoy watching your channel and I've learned a lot. I have a couple of questions about this video: (1)why did you not just cut all the pieces to fit with the bandsaw instead of cutting and then using tin snips? (2) why did you not roll the edges of the tube over the inner tube? I tried to use the roll over edge method and ended up with a mess on my hands.

I am new to KZfaq and alcohol stoves. I have made one small one for practice. I do have questions that I would like to ask someone like you. If there a messenger program with KZfaq, or do all questions need to go through the comment section?

I dont see this type of sprite/soda can where I am in Canada...is this the same size as an aluminum beer bottle?

Those alluminium bottles don't seem to happen in Canada but I have had my eye out for a few months now.

I just started watching some of your vids for can stoves. How do you think Coleman Camping Fuel would burn? I have a half gallon of it sitting.

in your description you say you put felt in your sprint can but i didn't see it in your video....

What is the use life of this stove before it deteriorates into something you can no longer use?

❤❤❤

What does the carbon felt do?

How about grain alcohol or everclear which has an insane amount of percentage?

Ok im 2 years late for a comment but I'll comment anywho. I watched a youtuber use a tin can lid he cut off which he used for a base to his stove. He squirted a little alcohol on the lid and after lighting the stove which sat on the flat lid he then lit the lid. He got a tremendously fast bloom! I tried it and wow it works great.

Oh man I got the stove disease now,this is gonna be an ordeal lol.

should have done a 1 cup boil time test

6:40 _"So there it is. A simple, 14 gram stove."_ That was pre-carbon felt. I'll bet it's 18-19 grams now.

Not sure what you were trying to do. But the majority of stoves will burn for 8 minutes. And yes you decreased the fuel consumed but how long it takes to boil a pint of water is the real test. And a super bat stove is a lit easier to make.

Make a review campingmoon xd 1

Sadly no aluminium bottles like your sprite in the UK, we have plastic or glass.

won't the thin tin evently be burned through by the flames?

I just made one similar to this one but with a 12oz uptime energy drink bottle. It's very sturdy after I rolled the edge. Measures out 2"X2" and fits inside my Toaks Small Woodstove with plenty space to spare. I got a boil with 2 cups of water in 6mins and a burn time of 11.5mins. You beat me by 4 grams though. imgur.com/gallery/ABfJVBB

Where in the video did you add the carbon felt?

I made an alcohol stove and it exploded! Maybe I didn't use the right rubbing alcohol?

I can hardly hear you on this. Need to turn the mic input up.

👍🇧🇷 mui

Why fool with tin snips when you have a nice band saw???

The songs are just too loud compared to the voice track ..

Height.... ht. Ht not th. It’s height, like “ kite “ not “ kithe “

You're from Louisiana and using a sprite bottle? Boy no self respecting man from weezy-anna would use anything other than a Budweiser bottle. What's the matter with you? 🤣🤣🤣
