tkb stove

i ripped off several alcohol stove designs to make one that's easier to build. no glue. no leaks. boils 500ml water in six minutes. uses denatured alcohol (95%, 190 proof). blue flame, but not in these photos*. good for 30 minutes.



upon initial lighting




flame ports start to light after 90 seconds




jet flames after two minutes




cookset sits on top of the stove, no need for tripods




center flame can reach two feet high!




the center hole IS the fuel tank




mountain dew and pepsi-x, can be used as ashtrays




shorty, literally. made from scraps, lasts only 5 minutes.



*blue flame is difficult to see under bright light. 70% isopropyl alcohol was used to get the yellow flame.
