[bluemountaindrivepae]

Denatured alcohal is clean enough to burn indoors. Cookie sheet made perfect tray.

Nice..........I've seen a LOT of these, and I really like this version.... it looks good and sturdy and not all flimsy. I'm going to attempt to make one tonight.

QUESTIONS:

1. What was the initial temperature of the one quart of water before you lit the stove?

2. What is the most alcohol (fuel) that the three ounce inner fuel holder FancyFeast can is able to hold safely with out spilling out upon lighting it?

Thanks for posting this!

Aye, 10 minutes is fast fer impulse engines, but 'ave yuh never heard of warp drive?

Yuh should see the lass I'm workin on, she'll surely buckle yer Heiny pot if the cap'n at the helm isn't watchin what 'e's doin!

Double you air holes, make sure your tin can stand goes inside the fuel and there is plenty of area at the bottom of the dish to transfer heat and boil it faster. Put an insulation barrier between the ground and the unit, and see if that doesn't outdo the supercat. ; )

[hairypsalm]

certainly not the fastest, but remember it's boiling 32 oz rather than the 16 oz used in most setups.

Hello. I like cat can stove. Especially, I like easy stove of Mr. J 'Falk. Why though not seen so much ?

9:50 is slow

For a quart of water, it's not bad. The SuperKat, however, can do it in under 7 minutes. I still like this design and would like to see a how-to vid on it.

[paintballingguy]

Most of my Soda can stoves can could boil it in 5 mins..

[TerraFirma369]

Please, make a video showing a stove that boils 1 QUART of cold tap water in 5 minutes. I am very interested in seeing that. Peace.

[paintballingguy]

Why? there are so many here on youtube already..

Check out minibull designs stoves, Most of them will boil in under 5 mins.

[TerraFirma369]

I believe you do not have a full command of the facts. John Austin's stoves at MiniBullDesign boil 2 cups of water in that timeframe, not 4 cups a.k.a. 1 quart. Peace.

[paintballingguy]

First of all, you do not command facts.. Facts are just that..

Also, I fired up one of my OLD stoves and put 4 cups of cold tap watter in my kettel.. It boiled in about 6 and 1/2 mins..

I have seen others do better.. Maybe you should stop trying to "command" the facts. And just let them be what they are. Facts..

[TerraFirma369]

6:30. A bit different than 5:00. Very similar to under 7:00 that I STATED the SuperKat boil time to roughly be. If you have an alcohol stove that boils 4 cups of cold tap water in 4:30-5:30, make a video of it. That is what you claim. You said MOST of yours could do it in 5 minutes. What other facts do you speak of?

[paintballingguy]

That's just a crappy old stove I dug out of a drawr.. I do have ones that will boil in 4.5 - 5 mins..

As for the video, what's the point? It could be doctored easy, you wouldn't belive it anyways..

[TerraFirma369]

Ask Tinny at MiniBullDesign what rhubarb is. Have a good one paint balling. Peace.

I think this guy's been hit by too many paintballs, lol.

Boil speeds exceeding 1 cup per minute introduce the Leidenfrost effect, where the steam bubbles form an insulating vapor barrier between the heat and the water. The water therefore never boils. I unloaded the usual 15 ml into two cups in 70 seconds (tight flame) with a new stove I'm working on. Though the water gets hot, it never boils. Instead the pot gets very hot, and when you swish the water around against the pot, the water hisses violently.
