If you'd like to purchase one of my mini-pocket alcohol stoves, please visit my BLOG for more info: https://patricksbushcraft.wordpress.com/about/ Over the past 10 years alcohol stoves have greatly increased in popularity. I have made a few of my own, but never really used them regularly as a "go-to" quick stove... until now... Over the years I've watched the penny stoves, aluminium can stoves, cat food can stoves, etc, and I always thought the efficiency was never at its peak. I would watch the flame roll up the side of the cookpot and just burn into the air, thinking what a waste it was. The problem has always been the exposed fuel surface area. When a metal container is filled with alcohol, methanol, etc, and is then lit on fire, it's the surface area of the fuel that begins to vaporize and then burns the vaporized fuel off the top. Imagine if you poured 1oz of fuel into a shallow bowl 6 inches in diameter and poured 1oz of the same fuel into a taller cylindrical container that was only 1 inch in diameter, which do you think would burn first? knowing these physics, the fuel in the shallow bowl will burn up faster. So knowing this, I made myself an ultra light compact mini micro stove by converting an aluminum flashlight into a container with a screw on cap.This design will provide just the right amount of flame for the bottom of cookpots, billy cans, glacier cups, etc . With the cap system, any unused fuel can simply be left in the sealed container and used at a later time, so no fuel ever gets wasted, which makes this a very economical addition to a camp cooking system. My micro mini flashlight container stove is small and ultra lightweight, and it can be added to a keychain or survival chain, or I can carribeaner it somewhere onto a bug out bag or EDC pack or pouch... many possibilities. I'm still amazed at how much more efficient this stove is compared to my old Starbucks can stove which had an exposed surface area of 2 1/8". Now my fuel lasts 2-3 times longer! Should of done this a long time ago with the price of fuel currently at about $18/gal. ########################## DIAMETER : 1" exactly (equivalent to a US quarter) Height: 1 /9/16" , non-capped: the capped version I make is just a little shorter at: " CAPACITY : capped version holds approx. 3/8 fl oz with cap on date: 06-22-16 ... I did a couple of experiments: I used fuel injector cleaner as my fuel for the following experiment... 1st: boiling two cups of water in a Heineken pot with a lid on the pot: It took 6:20 to get it boiling and it used up 70% of a full 100% filling of a capped alcohol stove. That's from the time of lighting the fuel to boil time... 2nd: I did the same thing only with 1 cup of water and it took 6:00 to get that to a boil, but used only 30% of a full 100% filled capped stove. Now to get into the physics: The reasons for this are that it takes any alcohol fuel about 2 minutes to heat up and begin vaporizing rapidly. One of the things that makes this stove efficient is that there's less total fuel in the container that has to be heated up before it really starts cooking, not only that, but the smaller diameter of the stove limits the amount of burning surface area. This is not the end-all of a complete outdoor cooking system, but it makes a great addition to my kit for those times I want to heat something up, such as hot water for instant dehydrated meals, coffee, soups, rice, Ramen type noodles, etc. fast without building a messy fire, or if I want to lay low and be camp stealthy. I don't recommend it for cooking large amounts of say pasta, where you would need to boil for a long time...
