Swiss Ranger Volcano Stove Boil Test 2

In this video I use Esbit & SLX (denatured alcohol) in my Swiss Ranger Volcano Stove. It's a fuel combo I saw in a Tzstove video. The SRVS cup is used as the pot.
I got the Swiss Ranger Volcano Stove from Cheaper Than Dirt. Everyone should have at least one in their kit.

would charcoal and alcohol work as a fuel source?

[hiramcook]

I don't see why not. You might want to protect the bottom of the stove with some sand to keep the high heat off the aluminum to keep it from melting.

Thassss wha I allays say, a lil alll-co-hall takes the edge awf.

Nice setup. I like it very much.

7 min in garage is ok. If it would be melting snow it could be up to 30minutes. In hot summer it can be 2min.

For me boiling tests are not ok, because results can differ because of many things...

How long will it cook for...what is Esbit? Let me know some of your info so I can see if I can cook water at 165 degrees F to purify it.

hi this stove is designed to run on anything that will burn that you can put in the bottom of it, its like the kelly kettle just simpler. Normally just use twigs and dung , if you want to keep it clean pop in a trangia burner.

i made one out of a soup can that works just as well and boils water in about 10 minutes.

Just a note for clean up.

On my alcohol gasification stoves, I noticed that a paper dry paper towel will do most of the work for you. do it in the wind with the wind behind you. then a little alcohol will do the rest. every other way just stains up clothes and makes a bigger mess. I had to use my stove for about 6 months, and I figured that you could use the tip from my experience.
