Boiling Water With A Swiss Army Volcano Stove

[BushcraftTam]

Do you happen to know what the wire bail can be used for? Toast came to mind...

@BushcraftTam

Hi - sorry not really sure - have only ever used it as a handle if i have needed to steady it when taking the cup off. It also secures the cup on the top in carriage

[BushcraftTam]

Thanks.

@moecat1000

Strange isnt it! - I only made the video - you CHOSE to watch it!!!

[bowhunterpetemac]

I have that same thing. Just so you know, the penny stove is incredible in it.

If you liked this, you'd love woodgas stoves. They look similar, but burn much hotter and cleaner :) .

@PonyHaven

Have a look at some of my other videos - there are a number of Woodgas stoves, both homemade and commercially made stoves. Thanks, Paul

@Bigbazza99

Sweet, will do. These are fun to experiment with :) .

[bluemountaindrivepae]

Supposed to put a little can of alcohol gel in the Swedish army stove.

[Bigbazza99]

@bluemountaindrivepae

You can run these on many fuels - gel, esbit and wood. Some people have modified them to accept meths burners too.

I have seen a really cool ModGear water bottle pouch, i've heard hold this swiss stove perfect with a side pouch for fuel and foon. I saw this in cheaperthandirtdotcom but was wondering if any of you have this and if it does fir the stove. cheers from ca.

@PHARRAOH

Hi - havent seen one of these and dont have one - will check out the website though. The stove is fairly well self contained anyway. thanks Paul

[kingbleah]

i like this cooker well designed

[redheadfisher17]

did you seriously buy that I have one that is made out of a coffee can

[Bigbazza99]

@redheadfisher17 - Yes, I did. Hope you enjoyed your coffee. If you look at my other videos you will see I have made a number of other stoves - and far more adventurous than a coffee can!!! lol.

Most army issue kit is well made, functional and cheap - you ought to try it!

[redheadfisher17]

@Bigbazza99 i dont want to buy one. I made one out of a soup can in minutes. It boils cups of water in minutes or less depending on the amount of heat

[Bigbazza99]

@redheadfisher17 You seem to eat and drink a lot!! I've made stoves out of a lynx can, coke cans and a biscuit tin with a sugar tin inset inside - we both must be very clever!!!!!!

[maxinpains]

do you think i can use bbq fire stater cylinder can with handle?lol

[Bigbazza99]

Not sure what you mean, but any cylinder with a cut out for fuelling the fire and some top vent holes will work. Take a look at the Woodgas stove video I have posted - it burns far more efficiently and a lot hotter.

[maxinpains]

yeah i tried it with BBQ fire starter can . it worked just great. this is a product to help start ignite charcole before you put into BBQ grills at united states sells for about $8.99 US at major supermarkets.

[Bigbazza99]

Can you post a video of it?

[maxinpains]

just go to the sites of american bbq fire starter. you'll find one

[PHARRAOH]

how tall each,are the cooker and the bottle? also, can you tell me the out side diameter of the cooker please?

[mahalkolico]

just picked one up at a surplus store ..now i know its SWISS will get it out soon ...trying to figure how to mod it for my alcohol stove also ..

[fshcake]

i made an alcohol stove out of a beer can fits inside and works a treat

[ewokarmyof1]
