How to Choose an Alcohol Stove Part Two: Output, Capacity, & Efficiency

[0017Bulldog]

Excellent job. Thanks for the info.

[shslack]

Can you do tutorial on the mini bull design sith, I think thats what you called it. It is one of the large capacity high heat ones. I am very curious of what you used and how you made it.

you can find several outlets on youtube showing how to make pop can alcohol stoves...my buddy makes them all the time

[nubespubes]

I love breaking out my 4 season jet boil around my ultra light buddies and there hippy stoves! but these type stoves work great when your only cooking for yourself...

[cougarbahia]

i love ur videos i have seen many. please tell me again the name of the stove with slider on the side to close off the ports....and where do i get one? ty vvm karen

[BoristheDragon]

Very informative and helpful, much like every other video I've seen by you this video was well done and well edited. I appreciate the wealth of knowledge and experience you have shared so far as well as the thought and time you've taken to both experiment with different methods, then report your findings to us. I look forward to your next update. Keep up the good work and thanks.

This is a huge help!!!

[ndspecial]

just a quick quick idea. you can bring an open burner stove and place it in your super cat so the super cat acts as the support. so you can boil your water quickly then once the water is at it's max you can then fill the open burner to cook. would that not work

[rlmarin1968]

With the catfood can style stoves...would you recommend just going with the higher fuel capacity ones so you can do either just water for dehydrated food AND longer burns if necessary? It just seems to make more sense to carry the stove that gives you more options.

[64CSAR]

can you show us how to make these?

[JimboJitsu]

great video, full of awesome information! wish I would have found this one months ago...

if using open stove how many ounces of fuel will you need per meal?

[Rocksterrr]

Excellent presentation.  Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight. You have answered my burning questions regarding alcohol stoves with eloquence.

[Carlsarv]

Great!

[kphifer1]

Great video Jason. Very informative. Would youind giving you thoughts/opinion on the Trangia stove? I'm curious about this one.

Thanks.

[jasonklass]

@kphifer1

Believe it or not, that's one of the few stoves I haven't tried. I'm not qualified to comment but the design at a distance never really got me interested to try one out I guess.

[CampfireTalk]

This is the best alcohol stove video I've seen. Great job on going over the different designs & uses of each one.

[LoveRise]

Jason, thanks for the insightful overview! I had not seen a Brassllite and really like that option of simmer vs full force heat. I really appreciate the production of your ending wrap-up. Well done. Celebrate LIfe!...Laurie

[MrBillTroop73]

Great info!

We carry our own design. We found it suits us best.

[jasonklass]

@MrBillTroop73

May I ask what the design is?

[MrBillTroop73]

@jasonklass I'm pretty sure you've seen it. We call it the UniCan stove.

Even the poorest of kids can make our stove with just a can opener, scissors, a push pin, and a single soda can.

[888zzz]

Another informative video. Thanks.

[kphifer1]

Jason,

What's your take on the mini Trangia stove?

Thanks.

[cjtf]

Wow, I thought I knew all about alcohol stoves, I mean they are pretty simple afterall....but you sure opened my eyes !! I learned a lot here Jason, thanks for the effort.. 5 thumbs up !

[jasonklass]

@cjtf

Great, thanks! I'm glad you found it useful. Sometimes I don't know if I'm putting out content that is helpful to anyone so your comment was reassuring. I appreciate it.

[convert2010]

Great information. I think I have chosen the correct stove.

I boil water -not cook

I want to eat when I am hungry

I use the (I think you called it the "White Box" stove) it burns hot and I can boil 2 cups in ~5 min. I love that stove design.

Thanks again Jason for the series.

[jasonklass]

@convert2010

Yep, it's a great stove.  Takes a while to prime, but a good, solid design.

[Woodenarrows]

Great idea for a video Jason and one that will help a lot of us. Good to see all this info together in one place.

Jim...

[boomer00000]

it seems like tinny took your idea with the klasslite, with his squirrel cage stove.

[jasonklass]

@boomer00000

Nah, the whole "cage" concept was invented before I was even born. Tinny just refined it.

[boomer00000]

@jasonklass ya i guess a "New" idea doesnt exist anymore really.

[cbr6864]

i have bought a few and havent been very impressed with any of them. since then i have made several they vary greatly in boil time. i carry 2 one slow and one crazy fast

[biguy525]

Lots of useful info to think about, Thanks.

[HikerNine]

I carry an Atomic and a Choke Hazard, both Minibull Design stoves. I use the Atomic when I just need boiling water (instant potatoes or coffee) and the Choke Hazard when I need to simmer for a while (rice meals). They're both small, lightweight and miserly with fuel. It's a win-win package.

[jasonklass]

@HikerNine

Awesome stoves. I have them both.

[HikerNine]

@jasonklass But you have every stove. :)

[fryguy2513]

Really nice. I enjoy these videos that you make. Keep them coming.
