Homemade copper alcohol stove winter test, melting snow.

Stove is working on 94 % ethanol. For priming I used fuel mixture. Alcohol was little difficult to lit in freezing temperature.

Awesome...the thing works like a champ. Come rain, sleet, or snow, this will flat out cook. I like the custom flame spreader. Did you make it from stainless steel? I think it would be best material for something exposed to that much heat. Anyway nice job..

@dirtridermag44 Thanks. Closer look to flame spreader you can see in video "Homemade copper alcohol stove (modified)". This one is made from tinplate and another I made from brass. Stainless steel would be better longer lasting, but I don't know how to weld it with gas torch. But tinplate flame deflector also works fine and it is easier to make it.

ad some sort of cap or valve to quickly stop or control temp of the fire(size) but good work. could use some separate tanks and separate valves with the tanks to spread out the fire more effectively

@chickenpoper. I don't have problem with stopping fire. But I would be glad to add kind of valve, unfortunately there are no any acceptable heat resistant small size valves in shops.

did you make that ? i made a rocket stove out of a 1 gal can

[lebammabel]

@a1boywonder. If you mean stove - yes I made it. You can have closer look to this stove in couple of videos in my You tube account.

I know an "expert" online who could use a lesson from you on how to properly melt snow, lol.
