On one of my videos on the Vargo Stainless Steel "Bot" ThreeHouse commented, "... I wanted to ask what you think about using Vargo Bot to Vargo Triad stove? Do you think it will be stable enough full of water? Do you have any other tips on an alcohol stove in the same weight class that might be be stable enough? ... Charlies from Three House, Sweden?" I'll show in this video that the Vargo Stainless Steel "Bot" and the Vargo Triad Titanium Alcohol Stove makes for a VERY unstable combination. I'll also do a boil test using the Capillary Action Stove (CAS#2) with the Vargo Stainless Steel "Bot". This conbination is very stable and when you compare the weights of the Vargo Triad Titanium Alcohol Stove with the CAS#2 the CAS#2 is much lighter, and cheaper. Weight of the Vargo Triad Titanium Alcohol Stove: Cost of the Vargo Triad Titanium Alcohol Stove(on eBay): around $30 Weight of the Capillary Action Stove (CAS#2): Cost of the Capillary Action Stove (CAS#2): free - made from re-cycled soda cans Use the following link to my video, "Capillary Action Stove - Boil Test #1": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1BJOJKoUTs Use the following link to my video, "Capillary Action Stove (CAS#2) - Boil Test #1": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3De0uChTdNA The Capillary Action Stove is nothing new.
