I use the yellow heat bottle refilled w/denatured alcohol as my fuel bottle. It can be refilled to almost 16 oz. and because of the long neck virtually impossible to leak in your pack. The bright yellow could also be an excellent marker or "here I am" visual. I purchased the Toaks 750 mil w/bail and the Toaks pot stand. Best set up ever. If you use the Toaks pot it is a little narrower than your Lixada and nests inside the pot stand on two included pegs/rods over the stove. Works great. Great vid! I have many commingled cook sets and they work great also. Thanks!
If you refill the Heet bottle with Everclear would it evaporate? I use a Trangia bottle for Everclear but since I cook outside I bring Heet. Everclear is only used if there’s chance of rain and I might have to boil water in the vestibule.
@@carmenmartinez2882 I'm sorry I am not familiar w/Everclear. I purchase my denatured alcohol in the gallon tin container from Lowes, refill about 8 bottles of the yellow Heat and leave them in my shed until I need a new bottle. No problem with evaporation to date.
@@walkerone9833 thanks, that helps. Everclear is about 97% alcohol so it burns great. I can’t get denatured in California anymore, we have weird rules.
I carry the Bulin radiator pot with an evernew DX titanium stand and burner. Still room for fuel, folding utensils and ferro/striker or a small bic lighter.
my lightest burner/stand combo is 2 grams.... with a soda can pot, boils water fine for drinks and rehydrating. but i like this.... all little kits are fun.
A wider pot harnesses the slow combustion of alcohol better than a narrow cup. You need to add a windscreen for real-world conditions, again, to make the most of the low BTU alcohol. My alcohol setup is an Evernew 1.3 litre pot which sits directly on my homemade Supercat stove, which I punched as many holes (upper and lower) as I possibly could, and lined the can below the holes with a strip of plumber's carbon felt. The stove is the pot stand, which makes it lower, requiring a lower (and lighter) ultralight, ultra-thin titanium foil windscreen (from Backpacking Light, circa 2005), held together with two paper clips, making it very adjustable for different pot sizes. Pot, lid, stove, and windscreen weigh 5-5/8 oz. (161 grams). I use it for backpacking trips of up to a month at a time. In warm weather, I can go for 8 days at a stretch on 16 fl. oz. of denatured alcohol (two meals per day). A good windscreen is an absolute "must" to make the best use of alcohol with any stove/pot combination. I have used alcohol, exclusively, as a fuel in temperatures down below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, on solo trips, for over 20 years. Hiram Cook has a great channel where he tests many stoves, predominantly alcohol burners. Fwiw: I use a 750 ml. plastic flask which originally came filled with peppermint schnapps, which I added to hot chocolate at home during a previous winter. It fits perfectly in the side pocket of my pack, contouring to the pack bag. I don't need any spills/leaks inside the pack bag. Also: In cold weather, I sleep with a metal hot water bottle AND my stove fuel (would do so even with a canister). It makes boiling breakfast water MUCH quicker in sub-freezing temperatures.

Cool video. Great information. And I am not trying to step on any toes,but I bought a similar system from self reliance out fitters for around 30.00 dollars. It has a much easier set up and works very well. Definitely you will need to have a larger fule container. They do provide that. Once again I wasn’t to step on any one toes with this comment. All I’m saying is check it out. Thanks Iridium. Love your videos.
Is it this one? www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com/products/stainless-steel-alcohol-stove-the-best-backpacking-stove It looks interesting, I wanna pick one up and test it out
For these, does something like Everclear burn as well as the denatured spirits? I just like being able use the fuel for multiple purposes: sanitation, drink spiking etc lol! Plus, depending on the type of equipment you could scavenge, in a long term situation, alcohol is definitely easier to make than fossil fuels. I like the idea of alcohol stoves for non fossil fuel stealth combustion.
We tested several types of alcohol fuel in our Trangia type spirit burners. Hardware store methanol worked great. However, by far, ethanol we purchase on-line from a supplier to the beauty industry is THE BEST. The fuel is advertised as 99% pure but that would be super expensive laboratory grade, not possible at the low price we paid. My guess is 95% to 96% purity. When you look it up, ethanol has more energy per pound than methanol so more bang for the buck. Burns totally clean with zero odor. We are stocking up on this product.
I used Everclear for 8 days on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia and into North Carolina on a section hike last spring. I couldn't buy any in NC, so I switched to denatured alcohol for the next two weeks.
Late to the video, good kit, but for me I have found that an Esbit stove and tablets make for a smaller "walk home" kit along with a canteen and cup set.
Unrelated to this video except it involved Alcohol. When it was cold my furnace went out. I made this killer Alcohol Heater that ran off 91% Alcohol. I started really warming Up, but started feeling Woozy. My CO2 meter said 31. I'm in a mobile home so wood stove is out. Have you come up with make shift throw together emergency heater's? Something you made.
Yeah I have a video from a long time ago where I made an alcohol heater I have also shown a few indoor safe propane heaters that will shut off if the CO gets too high, Pretty much as long as you have some tiny bit of ventilation you should be ok
Thanks for another great video. Boy I remember the dark days of the cold war when CIVIL DEFENSE and fallout shelters were a thing. Duck and cover drills at school. We are in a more frightening era where, in the large urban areas, the mayors and city councils are actually corrupt mark-sist and don’t care about the safety and benefit of the normal taxpayer and property owning(even many renters). Many of those po-lice departments do not respond to most calls, even attempted robberies vehicular hit and run, home invasion, and such. LAPD won’t respond to violent robberies unless there’s a body on the ground. Citizens, even though paying huge taxes, gen little or no services due to the dem orc rulers and we need to practice a new and different civil defense-extreme self defense.

I like the pot stand.
Its compact and looks sturdy.
Just what I need for my Trangia.
Just received my duplicate stove today... fits my Firebox Nano like it was customized! Took over 3 weeks to arrive, though...
my lightest burner/stand combo is 2 grams.... with a soda can pot, boils water fine for drinks and rehydrating.
but i like this.... all little kits are fun.
Good setup , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Oh and by the way I did order up the pork chops and corn from freeze dry wholesalers, thanks to your excellent review, thanks again
As always another great video thanks for sharing 👍👍😊

Yes that’s the one. I had the cost wrong.

Yes you can use it it works well but if you drink some you might not need the stove !? Lol
Yeah Everclear will definitely work, if that’s all you have. I personally wouldn’t waste good alcohol. But yeah it will work.

What are the hinges made of on the flask
If u use the toaks siphon alcohol stove is much lighter. Thanks the video
Agree. Just as easy to put out, but you can also easily recover the unused fuel.
Manda um iquau Este aí pra mim Aqui no Brasil kk
Metric conversion are fairly close
nice
