Very nice work

Great craftsmanship! If it works on a 9v battery, it might seem kinda silly, but you can get very small, very light hand crank generators like you find on flashlights and radios that can do 5-12v at considerable current. No risk of the battery dying on you then.

Yes, it was worth your time! And thanks for posting this video

i found when burning pine cone in my stoves that you need them to still have a small bed of coals to keep them going
but the on that have resin on/in them are very good for a fast hot burn ill show you in a up coming video :)

Gotta put that on the back burner, Drak. Still working on a pressurized stove concept. After that it's the completion of my vertical wick stove, but I have to fit my backpacking trips in there somewhere, like tommorrow, lol!

When I fisrt seen the zip stove, I wanted a closer look, when I did get that look I knew I could build it. It took a bit of time to get it just right but as seen here it paid off. I bet that you could build one like this. Best part it is 11grams lighter then the original Sierra zip stove. I guess I just made a challenge, if you like I can show how it is built via video and that way everyone has a choice to build one for themselves. What do you say Interested in a small challenge like this?

Back in the 80's when I first took to the trails, I read Complete Walker III which featured the Sierra Zip Stove. I was taken with the idea of not having to carry any fuel. I guess you could say that was my first itch toward scratching the ultralight hiker in me. But I had already forked out money for the Whisperlite.

Yeah but when it comes to eating I'm a bit lazy after a long day of hiking, LOL

One easy improvement: you might want to use two AA batteries and a DC converter to convert the voltage to 12V. AA batteries have a higher energy density than 9V batteries, are cheaper, and you only have to carry one type of batteries if you're using a GPS and a flashlight.

@aseglkj The next Gen of this stove is run off two AA's or in sunny conditions a solar power battery charger works as well. Thanks for putting the tip out there for others to see as well. I suppose I should make a video of the newer model.
