Froup Stove - Boil Test #2 - using alcohol

[MrSchpankme]

I'd like to see you do the same test with the Everything nice stove and "30 ml of denatured alcohol" with 3 X High Hardware Cloth.

[briargoatkilla]

Wow man. Just completed the whole series. It was very informative. Found you through rainbowhiker. I've got a similar setup i play with on my channel. Maybe you could weigh in? Thanks for sharing.

[MrSchpankme]

Hey Hiram, I've done the same test with a felt filled (rolled) tealight can, centered in the inside Can as shown. 15ml of 180 proof alcohol, boiled 2-cups (68 deg) of water in 4 minutes/elevation 2500 feet).

Haven't seen any new vids. Hope all is well.

@hiramcook hey got a tip the other day I wanted to share with you about soda can alcohol stoves.

Tip: turn the can over (upside down) and use the bottom of the can for holding solid fuels. ie: esbit

Next I'll play with Perlite as insulation for the heat exchanger can. Tin foil pie plates with perlite inside, place on top of ss can and see if I can increase Delta T between in and out pipes... was reading that 8 parts vermiculite, 1 part portland and some water creates a heat proof stucco insulation for pizza ovens... another idea...

One day I'll have the equipment to post vids... recently I installed an extra hot water circuit to my 30 gal propane water heater. I have a 12VDC 6 watt pump pumping water from drain outside through 3/4" copper pipe to a 5/8" tube coil then back tank at the T/P valve. I covered the coil with a stainless steel can (probably 3 gallon size), I also plumbed an extra T/P valve at exit of 5/8 coil heat exchanger 4 safety. Heat w can gasifier and heat gun blower on cool.68 F to 120 F w 3 hrs burn.-john

Yes!! Cooking vids with various stove types!!!

[rainbowhiker]

Enjoyed the variations of these tests. Thanks Max, and you too, Hiram.

[snappydog357]

Can you post some vids of you actually cooking some meals with the stove?; boiled hot water meals are good but some frying pan or small pot vids would be great?

Thanks,

Snappy

Nice test !

[dmgrippe]

Hey Hiram..... If you use fire steel or some sort of stricker the spark will ignite that without having to toss in a match. and can be a bit safer.

[ColoradoCamper]

Great video Hiram. That is a fast boiler indeed.

I would be interested in seeing a wood pellet test but wait for it to get going and gasifying before you put the pot on. I'm interested to see how fast it boils and if it produces less soot that way. Cheers!

[MrBillTroop73]

Nice work!

[yacrafter]

Fast boiler, you may have stumbled onto something here Hiram. How well does a heinie pot sit on your wire stand? Excellent test.

[DisillusionedAcronym]

interesting! good test again, hiram. thanks!

[wawhiker]

That's amazing! Hiram - can it be lit using a fire steel? (So there is a bit more (and an angled) safe distance between you and the fuel)?

[MikeSr39]

Hiram, thank you very much for your reply,

[pyroman675]

wow that froup stove with alcohol must be a dam hot

[RJBURG]

put a round cabon felt in the burn can then if tip it be safe

[MikeSr39]

Hiram, I meant the smaller of the two inner cans you had,sorry for the confusion.

[hiramcook]

Tomato Sauce Can - 8 oz - 2.59" O.D. x 2.98" High

[MikeSr39]

Hiram, I meant that you had two inner cans and I wanted to know the brand name and size of the smaller of the two inner cans.sorry for the confusion.

Hi Hiram

my be if you put the holes in the inner can i little higher and it would hold more fuel, eg alcohol dont know if it would work but it might,

paul

[nathanshepherd1]

That's alot quicker than with wood. I think that flame would be to hot to cook with but I'd great for boiling water.

[MikeSr39]

What is the brand and size of the smaller size can???

MikeSr39

[hiramcook]

Mike,

I've tried several times to put the can info to your comments but I keep getting error message. I put the size info up in the text area.

[emuller002]

Hi, quite interesting. How far up did you create the bottom row of holes on the inner can? That dimension would directly coorelate to the amount of alcohol that one could load. Thanks for all your videos, you and Max give me lots to experiment and think about.

[jetpowered1]

That was interesting Hiram.

[mooseyou2]

hmmm

Nice test as always...
