>>1137847I have been experimenting with alcohol stoves. I thought they might be good to save money on fuel and be a bit lighter. I made one like this
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xFhL6l68xZgBasically it's a fancy feast cat food tin (3oz), a small tomato paste tin inside of it and with a layer of felt in between to act as a wick. Unlike most DIY alcohol stoves I have tried it is very wind resistant and very hot. Can't turn the heat down which is a flaw as it burns a lot of fuel doing something basic like cooking pasta. Can heat half a litre in around 6 minutes, good for boiling water though and that's about it.
