Easy alcohol stove. No holes.

This is an easy to make alcohol stove. I took an aluminum bottle and cut it in two places. Top and bottom using a sharp razor blade. Just two pieces. Top fits into bottom and rests on an inner lip of the bottom can. I was surprised to see how well this boils water. I spent like two minutes making it. This boil test was with a Snowpeak 700 pot. Two cups of water at about 59 degrees F. I checked at 4 minutes and 45 seconds, and the water was boiling. No holes to drill. Made with a Miller Lite aluminum bottle.

Damn, simple and seems to work great....Is it a fuel hog?

[aokspage]

@erichoward15 I dont really know. Some would probably say yes. To me it doesnt seem to take a whole lot. I am sure there are more efficient stoves out there. I have used this as my stove for two camping tips so far and it works great. All i use it for is to boil water and so far so good. I will try to see how much fuel it takes to boil two cups. glad you like it.

How much fuel was used, and have you found a way to put the flame out so that the extra fuel can be recovered?

@wwhermit That was the first test I had ever done with this stove so I dont really know. I think If this would be the design to go with after a while you would get a feel of how much to use and there really wouldnt be a lot left over to dump out. You can always get a larger cup or container of some sort to put over the top of it and snuff it out.when you are done. Then pour the rest out when it has cooled off. Thanks for watching

@digitizer101 Thanks. glad you like it. I couldnt beleive it boils water so well. I have stoves that took me forever to make and this one , so far, preforms better.

@digitizer101 and you are still recycling with this design.
