Above is a short video i have done of my new homemade meths stove. It's the first video i have made and put on the blog. It's a trial run really, so it's not too good and there is no commentary.
I am very pleased with the stove in operation, although not tried yet outdoors the results are certainly where i want them to be. It boiled 430ml of water in just under 4 minutes.
I will post more on it shortly.
I made a cat can stove today Alan. Cost 89p. Time to make 2 minutes and it boiled 750ml of water on my MSR Titan stove superbly. I did not time it as I don't care about time with Meths stoves. Just the amount of meths used. The stove is 5g by the way. Stupid light and a bit of fun. I will use meths again for backpacking. Been a while. I don't know what it is with stoves and the need to have more of them? Have fun trying out more stoves.
ReplyDeleteI just like making things, not only stoves but to me it's an important piece of kit and i enjoy trying to get the fuel quantity and speed balance as efficient as i can.
ReplyDeleteI too have made a cat can stove in the past but i don't think i have ever made any stove that weighed 5gr. Except for an Esbit burner.
Even my gram weenie weighs 19gr.
Are you going to post a photo so that i can have a look at it?
