1- Making a small alcohol stove for a snowpeak

This is a video about the process I went through to make a stove for my Snowpeak 700. I have many stoves that work well, but some are too big for the smaller diameter of the pot I use. I wanted a stove that required no pot stand and a stove that didnt heat the handles up to the point where I couldnt touch it. This video shows making and using this new stove.

Nice sized stove, I like it. What is the O.D. of that 3 oz bottle? I've been using some bottle lately that are 2-1/16" O.D. but wouldn't mind something even smaller.

@Woodenarrows Thanks glad you like it. The snowpeak has no problems balancing on it. The outside diameter is 1 3/4 inches.

@BrokenAeroVT Cool. Thanks for the all the info. Hey...Happy New Year!!!

@aokspage 1/2 oz should be fine for two cups in most cases, 25% more if the water/pot is almost freezing. As long as you have a light wt pot and insulate the stove metal from the ground and reflect radiation away from the ground, I don't think you would need more than that. But if you want to boil more than 2 cups, I'd raise it some, yeah.

@BrokenAeroVT So maybe a little taller stove would do better? Or just less fuel.
