Emergency Pocket Stove

[Scott Free]

I don't think I've seen anyone mention this yet. Anyway, it's an emergency pocket alcohol stove. http://www.instructables.com/id/An-emergency-pocket-stove/

that's pretty cool. I have heard of these "Hobo Stoves"

 

[hlee]

from the article... "I used 91% Isopropyl alcohol for fuel since I always carry a little with me in a spray bottle to kill germs after shaking hands..."

I'm sure the stove is great, but who is this guy? Adrian Monk?

those alcohol stoves are great... i have one that a friend made me.... they're the most used stove amongst the ultralight backpackers these days...

 

[redscorpion6]

I personally prefer this one.

You beat me on this one... I was about to quote those very same lines and ask pretty much the same. I find Killing germs after shaking hands kind of extreme...

Yes I have one

 

[Rockywolf]

I want one. Where can I find one?

 

[redscorpion6]

How well does it work?

 

[redscorpion6]

This was the smallest ISOpro stove I have seen.

I think it fits the MSR fuel canisters.

 

[redscorpion6]

I also found a commercially made Pocket Alcohol stove like the coke can instructable version.
This is pretty cool but the $ is not so cool.

saw it on www.campmor.com

They have this one www.campsaver.com for about $12-13

These aren't emergency stoves or pocket stoves but
I use a Turbo II for backpacking, the fuel they recommend
is HEET gas line antifreeze in the yellow container 1 once
of it will boil a quart of water in about 10 minutes.

The trangia alcohol burners are one of my favorite pieces of out door gear when out and about and I dont want to take the time to build a fire or more importantly the time to make sure it is properly put out. one full burner carried in the pocket should be enough to do raman noodles and heat up a couple cups of coffie fuel is yellow heat gas line anti freeze or denatured alcohol from the paint section of your favorite wally-worldbelow is a link for the burner with the westwind stove each can be bought seperatly

This is the easiest, most forgiving do it yourself alcohol stove I have made. Kudos to Alan Halcon for the design...

I like using denatured alcohol for fuel and while you can't blow it out, I just cover it with my stainless steel cup to extinguish.

Quiet bear,

That is a pretty good site they have with some really good articles.

I've used soda can stoves for years now, but I've recently changed over to one made from a soup can instead because it is a bit more sturdy. Either of these put out alot of flame, even in high altitudes.

about as big as 2-3 SKOAL tins, they are light, portable and efficient. In addition to burning alcohols, they can also hold ESBIT cubes.

I've had good luck with a soda can alcohol stove.

BUT

twig stoves rock. I can carry and alcohol stove and some alcohol inside a medium sized twig stove, so no biggie on that - useful in areas where the rangers get antsy about even enclosed twig fires.

twig stoves, IME, heat faster. alcohol can be SERIOUSLY SLOW. On the other hand, I don't really want more than toasty warm most of the time if I'm out doing ultralight stuff

I have one of those MSR Pocket Rockets and it is the best bang for the buck but trust me, there are lighter ones out there. And yes, so far it fits any ISOpro fuel canisters out there. Check out the Coleman F1 for example...
