nice i watch all your video its nice job.

can u use other fuel on that? like gasoline or dissel? like a multifuel?

@isa2978 It is possible to use gasoline (better white gas or cleaned gasoline) for this type of burners. The problem is that gasoline requires smaller jet size. Therefore if you can make burner with adjustable jet size you can use almost any fuel exept maybe desel (requires pump). So far I have made only trial version of burner with adjustable jet( in one of my videos).

@scarekrow9 First of all this is joy of making and of course not only. I use another homemade stove when traveling by car but mainly for simple things like boiling of water and and warming up food. Things that doesn't require much time.

@lebammabel what's the use in making a stove if you aren't practicing good cooking techniques. salt. pepper. butter. add some ham..fry some eggs.. bacon...

Use a saute technique, rather than pushing the 'taters around in the pan, and they'll cook more evenly and get a more even coating of oil ;-]

NICE!

@lebammabel Boil in fuel is delayed because there is too much mass in the fuel & body of the stove for the conduction in the copper tubes to heat up before the cooking job is done. Copper is the main fuel heater, then heat conducted through the liquid fuel & lastly through the gas vapors themselves. There may be a little heat that migrates through the connection of the copper tubes to the stove body also. Preheat will be faster if you have less heat being robbed to other places (jar & fuel).

@BrokenAeroVT I think that alcohol is not boiling because of glass' heat conductivity which is worse then metal heat conductivity.

I think tubes are main fuel heaters and first pressure is building up in tubes especially in glass burner. If tubes stop at the lid I think preheat time will be longer (only my guesses).

[BrokenAeroVT]

@lebammabel Ideally vaporization should only take place in the tubes. I was just wondering how much heat is being drawn away from the direct vaporization by conducting down the copper tubes into the tank. I know the reservoir tank gets heated up--so it is happening--but it doesn't seem that much if no boiling is taking place there. I wonder if the copper tube needs to go all the way down into the tank. If it stopped at the lid, I would think the stove might boil faster.

@BrokenAeroVT I suppose that alcohol is boiling and vaporizing inside tubes, but I haven't seen any boil inside the jar. In one of videos (frying eggs) I am trying to show how much fuel have left after burning and there you can see that alcohol is not boiling. Only some bubbles are coming out of tubes. Similar in video - white gas stove.
