Did you mean less THAN 1/2 (not less THEN )

[lebammabel]

@albion2742  Yes - THAN, sorry.

[bpolitepass2urright]

how long did it burn with that much alcohol in it?

[lebammabel]

@bpolitepass2urright I haven't measured burning time with this particular burner. I didn't use much this two coil burner which of course is quite powerful but not economical. Instead I use single coil burners which are enough powerful with longer burning time. Only measurements i have made with my mini glass burner which with 60 ml of alcohol burns around 30 minutes.

Very cool stove BUT very impractical for backpacking use.One could use this for emergencies like power outages, bivouacs, car camping & that's pretty much it. Besides, if one is not careful these very stoves would just suddenly blow up in your face! This is the very reason i personally like the Open Top stoves like Trangias & the White box Stoves.These stoves has the potential to be a ticking time Bomb waiting to go off given the chance & take the user along with it. :(

@joel750 Those burners with glass jar was only like training for me, I have made already copper stove. There is nothing to be afraid of, pressure of vapor is too small to blow it off stove of course if you don't close jet and keep above fire. And this stove for me is more practical than your Trangia.

Or use a kettle !

@joel750 This stove was not build for backpacking. I am not hiking and therefore don't need something very small. However I made one small burner but just because I like to make something my selves. To tell truth I haven't used this particular double coil burner, don't need too much power. Instead I use single coil burner. Only worries with glass burner that you can break it, but it is not going to explode.

@JMEBF by adjusting size of nozzle (if not adjustable), by adjusting space between coils. Ones I experienced some overheating for my copper stove in hot weather, but it was not dangerous. Fuel consumption was too big because of too big flame.

@JMEBFFire is always a bit dangerous and has to be used carefully and better to use outside. Sometimes even commercially made stoves explode. I my selves haven't had so far any problems with all my homemade stoves. From my experience can say that single coil burner is more than enough.

When you make your stove take in account weather conditions (temperatures). It is important to check if your stove doesn't overheat in hot weather. If yes you have to make some adjustments to prevent overheating
