Cooking with Biodiesel from SVO (straight vegetable oil)

Carbon neutral cooking with biodiesel in the form of cotton wool balls that have been soaked in vegetable oil.

Results: Total burn time for the 6 cotton wool balls 27 minutes
The whole litre of water did not fully reach a rolling boil. It was without a lid and one whole litre! It reached the temperature of a really hot soup or maybe the temperature that is a bit too hot for washing up in.
I will try again with a larger stove size soon.
This small stove was a good trial run, but a larger stove and abetter wind break may do the trick biiig time :)

Summer is nearly here so lets use the time to cook in a carbon neutral way.
Saving the planet and having fun at the same time :)

It may burn even better if you put some air intake holes around the middle of the can?

Just a thought.

@MrBillTroop73 Its made from two cans, one in the other. The outer can has a ring of holes around the base to let air in. The inner can is suspended above those holes and has a mesh of holes in thebottom and around the base on the side. That provides the air intake. Watch my other videos on wood gas stoves.

is there is any replacement for cotton balls ?

[MrBillTroop73]

@greenwetdream Ah, that explains more than I could see.

Thank you.
