this is a really good idea. I tried the top of your stove on some old tekoba designs and i get 50% more efficent and less sot on my pot. I succesfully boiled 1 liter water in 12 mins from 20C°. I will try it outside, I am courious how the wind effects on it.
Wind is pretty bad, it takes away a lot of heat (in my tests at least; I needed 2x to 4x the amount of alcohol to reach the same temperatures of the water in my test installation). In my setup I use either "Penny stove" or the open burner (adapted from Trangia, but home made from a soda can), and 300 ml of water (for a mug of coffee). Under ideal conditions 2 to 3 ml of alcohol are enough to heat up the water. In environmental conditions I need multiple amounts of that value, depending on air and water temperature, and wind.
@Bikman, the credit is yours and your fantastic idea. @Frank, you are really ultralight😀 I had a test outside with the same amount of water and alcohol and burning time was also the same (16min for me with 30g alcohol). Water not boiled, but hey, it was defenetly hot, so it was ideal for a fast soup. Now it's winter here, so I think it works better in summer. I think in the future I will start boil hot water from a heat isolated bottle, that will save me a lot time and energy when I hiking.
@@Pisztacia Thank you very much, yes I try to be ultralight ^_^ my smallest stove fits in a small pocket, and you wouldn't feel the weight! I can have a pot (can 400 ml), and in this the stove and pot stand and a bottle of fuel (alcohol), ideal for lightweight backpacking, or emergency situations! The possibilities are quite big, sometimes you have to think outside the box, combine things you have seen or learned or experienced... Ooo after almost 5 decades I have accumulated a lot of knowledge... But I'm still learning new things day by day... 👍
You definitively nailed it ! Supergreat flame (I like when alcool vaporise!), only one can as material and made it with simple tools. I like your concept.
That's true. The chimney effect contributes to the good airflow, but the main difference comes from the fire over the small holes. They warm up the wall and transfer the heat to the alcohol in the bottom.
Great simple stove to make for beginners to enjoy alcohol fuel cooking. Any idea what the boil time on 1-2 cups of water is? Also what fuel amount was used? Thanks.
Some drink cans come in a similar size that you cut yours down to. Can I simply use an small can similar in size without going through the cutting process?
Isn't this technically a "burner," not a stove? And while this burner does have an efficient blue-flame directed straight-up (two indications of a 'good' burner), isn't the burn tail length rather long for a reasonable pot-stand? Capillary stove solves these problems.

As a "real American" let me apologize for the rabid squirrel - we had to put him down. Forget anything he said.

Just thought I should add a bit more... The Channel creator is from Netherland. They don't use inches there, except for bike or wheel rim diameters, and sometimes to measure lumber. Except that a European 2" 'adjusted'(planed) plank is usually 48mm, not the US 35mm twigs. (2" is 50.8mm) And happy-fun fact, the inch as used in the Bananastates, is DEFINED with metric. ;-) And even happier news; the US Survey mile(used in the 1927 survey, so even if officially out of use as of 2022, it still sees some use) is just 3mm(that's a gnat under 1/8" ) longer than the internationally agreed on definition of a Mile(1959 definition, and yes the USA was in the committee... )

@@BikmanTech we were really pestering you about it, weren’t we? 😂
I must try this design ASAP !!!
Great to hear! Let me know your thoughts.
ohh, gonna try this, fuel efficiency, times and stuff. saw a chinese one like this a few weeks back too.
I just made one following your instructions. This is a really cool design! Works great.
Thank you Barra. Please check out the type B video, also a interesting design in my opinion.

I will check the designs. thank you.
Well i tried that and it works! Nice!
I checked your video and it is nice build🫡
I love the vibes this vid gives
Thank you T d.
Have you thought of one small hole near the bottom for lighting and or draining unused fuel. You could use any lighter.
good idea indeed
Variation of the "chimney stove", just with more and small holes for air input.
That's true. The chimney effect contributes to the good airflow, but the main difference comes from the fire over the small holes. They warm up the wall and transfer the heat to the alcohol in the bottom.

Parabéns ótimo vídeo toPe mesmo
How does this compare to a Tetkoba-style capillary action stove?
Some drink cans come in a similar size that you cut yours down to. Can I simply use an small can similar in size without going through the cutting process?
Certainly you can try. Keep in mind, you need enough room for the fuel and the entire stove not too tall for your cooking gears.
What fuel are you burning? And if you use regular isopropyl alcohol does the dual combustion get soot free flame?
due to the fast airflow, all major liquid fuel will work.
Specs pls.
Nice stove. Do you know how it work's with wax?
I only test ed wax with Type B, and it worked great. not sure for Type A.
@@BikmanTech Thanks, i think it should work too. Do you used a candlewick?

@@BikmanTech I think it's alcochol based. I was asking about kerosine wax like in candles.

@@Bikman if I could make a recommendation. If the the horse is in the stall and the wart looks funny, don’t drink it. Otherwise cheers!!

Thumbs down because you used the metric system instead of a REAL measuring system.
2cm = 13 1/2 inches, right?
2cm is 101/128" (It's off by 0.04mm ), but because you're such a nice guy we'll just call it 3/4", OK?
@@norwegiangadgetman Had to close one eye....
The "real" measure system is metric - more logical, divisible by 10.
Few places in the world use that another archaic system.
Just thought I should add a bit more...

@@norwegiangadgetman still hate the metric system.
Have to do far too much conversion from real measurements to metric.
