Good Instructional Vid.
9/10!~
what do you carry your alcohol in? im afraid of puncturing the 20 oz!
i gota go do this tomorrow! kick ass
I have never had a problem with the bottles, you’d be surprised how resiliant those 20oz bottles are. Just make sure you mark it properly!
What’s a denatured alcohol? and what other substitute can I use? Thks
Great Vid.
Denatured alcohol is ethanol which has been rendered toxic or otherwise undrinkable, and in some cases dyed. It is used for purposes such as fuel for spirit burners and camping stoves, and as a solvent.
Im wondering can you use rubbing alcohol or lighter fluid t-o power the stove.
Most any alcohol based fuel can be used. However, some fuels have unnecessary additives that can cause blackening of your cookware.
I’d stay away from petroleum based fuels due to their exlosive nature (ie. lighter fluid, gas)
any way to regulate the heat? like mixing it or diluting it somehow?
With this type of system, I am aware of no regulation system.
sweet video, stove, and FANTASTIC soundtrack. thanks for posting
Does anyone know any household item as an alternative to the hole punch. I cant get a hole punch until next week, and I would like to make this ASAP.
Great idea!
Works great
You can use a drill to make the holes or a Swiss army knife
I went ahead and used a swiss army knife on one, And i used one of the drill bits you use to make holes in wood for the other one, The funny part is, I found a hole punch the day after, So I made another. (i have a fat cat)
If you must use rubbing alcohol, try to get some higher grade alocohol, Like i once found a 96% alcohol. It worked pretty well.
Im sorry, wither youtube or I, probably I posted this comment on the wrong video. How ever. I did make a few of these, But not until a couple of nights ago.. Sorry for the confusion. lol
hey so i have a question,
where did you get the cookset, i have one exactly the same, its lasted about ten years with no trouble but is starting to break and i would love to get the same again
cool video! who is the music by?
hi nice vid. can i use paper hole punch pliers or should it be metal hole punch pliers?
It would probably be easier with a metal hole punch, but I used a standard paper punch.
could you use a leather hole punch?
jesus H christ man use anything sharp all you need to make is HOLES!
if your that feckin stupid you shouldn’t be going into the wilderness anyways!
resourcefulness is the most important thing you can take with you
THINK BROTHER! x
Great job man! Awesome little Stove. that would be super small and compact for back packing or whatever your into.
