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.
