So what is the difference with the side jet rivet one you sell too?

[mechanicmike69]

@drfrancov The Side Jet RIVET Stove requires no pot stand, you set your pot right on it, but requires 95% alcohol to burn (no rubbing alcohol).

Hi.

Great demo.. I'm a "recent" convert. How do you back pack the wind screen and still keep it round/cylindrical? Thanks for the help.

@algentry1 this particular windscreen is best stored for travel when the pot is left inside the windscreen with the space inside the pot used for storage and the space underneath used to store a smaller pot or the lid for the pot. You can even turn the pot over with the lid at the other end and it all becomes a storage cylinder for all your cooking supplies. Since it is just a little larger than the pot it can usually even be stored in the original netting stuff sack that came with the pot.

hello mechanicmike69. I am like many other aspiring to hike the appalachian trail! I know I want to go light, if not ultralight, and I have made stoves like this before. One question: what type of fuel should I use and is that fuel readily available along the trail? Thanks

Most outfitters and hostels sell denatured alcohol. HEET" in the YELLOW bottle is also available at most gas stations/marts. I got by a couple of times on rubbing alcohol, even though it burns the longest per ounce and is the cheapest and easiest to get I didn't like the way it sooted my pots. HEET was/is my favorite as it burns a little longer per ounce than denatured alcohol.

Gotta love 'em, those alcohol stoves. I was a converted from the first one I made. Unbeatable in cost, weight, and usage, with a pot cosy.
