Like can windscreen and candle idea. Use a pot lid or foil it'll help make ur boil time faster.

I used my Trangia Spirit in -15F without much trouble. I simply needed to heat the exterior with a match for a few seconds.

i like the idea of the candle, i think it woudl be good in all weathers, it must make it use a lot of fuel though

[survivalist911]

what kind of fuel?

[KD1JV]

Fahrenheit

It also turns out that heating the bottom of the stove with a candle is not needed. One can simply pour a little alcohol into the insulation around the stove and light that to heat it up. Therefore, one can seal the bottom of the outer can and put a little insulation in the bottom under the stove insert.

uhmmm, 6 degrees fahrenheit or celsius?

[FriarTuck1961]

Great concept!

I used my alcohol stove at 25 deg. F last week and the boil time sucked. I really like your bottom heating method.

How long did it take for the water to boil? It looks like you have a working idea. Nice job.

One thing i would not put alcohol in stove with that candle buring under it or beside it. Put stove to one side full stove first then light candle.
