This is actually a really old design. Have one from the 30's. German made, with a cast iron base/pot stand and spherical brass fueltank. Still works fine, bought it for 10 euro's at a flea market.
One thing to note is to make sure that there is no under burn on the burner after a good prime. I have a vintage German Turm alcohol stove and it is prone to do this after I prime it. There is no safer fuel source out there to use, that's why the marine industry uses alcohol stoves.
That is a pretty fast boil. I've been watching stove reviews this last week and most are in,the 3 min and up range even,the real expensive ones. Pretty cool.
I've always seen this on Amazon, but wondered how big and bulky it would be. Your making of this video has removed all doubts. Thanks for the time, money and efforts you put in to make these videos. Always appreciate it. Atb, The Solo Hiker....
I like it. I love the fact that you can just refill the tank with alcohol, and with a homemade pot stand, you actually could heat some of the older ovens! really cool, thanks for the video, and stay safe out there!
I do believe that little knob on the back is to provide fuel air mix so you can get a little more Oxygen into the burner mix and the yellow flame will die down. Don't quote me but may want to try it out.
that is a cool stove. I usually have a few gallons of methanol kicking around for all kinds of whatevers.... and cheap as dirt..... thanks for showing.
I was leery of the lixada fuel storage concept too. Then again, I thought, eagerly accept the idea of alcohol storage *in* the burner for camp stoves and immediately *under* the burner for alcohol heaters.
It's just a picnic stove. Try denatured alcohol to see if the flame color changes. How well does it do in the wind? Most alcohol stoves use about 1 ounce of fuel every 30-50 minutes depending on the stove. 10 ounces is plenty of time to cook 3 nice meals. I don't see how you can bake with that. I guess it is possible. Trangia and similar were meant for backpacking but can be used almost anywhere. I have one. It works very well, especially if you put it inside a Firebox Nano. RedCamp stoves are almost the same as a Trangia.
I've been looking at this stove for quite a while but here in Canada they're really expensive. $80 plus tax comes to almost $100. I see another video coming up with somebody restoring an antique one of these so I guess this design has been around for a long time. I just got three little Lixada stoves in the last two weeks. Price of everything is going up quite a bit so I'm stocking up.
The reason they call it an oven is you can put a foldable oven on the burner and bake things like bread and cakes inside of it. I like it because it doesn't need a battery in order for it to work. I'm going to try using isopropyl alcohol 90% and see how well mine works. Like you, I too was worried about the fuel tank being so close to the flames. The first time I used mine, I did it outside on the concrete driveway. Better safe than sorry huh?😂Have a nice day everyone!
I saw a video on kerosene powered lamps by a RUclipsr called Technology Connections. The stove operates the same way as the kerosene lantern did in his video. You have to basically let almost all of the alcohol burn before you turn the burner on. Otherwise you’re just gonna be wasting fuel and it’s not gonna be very effective or it could possibly just spit a lot of fuel out and you might have a bigger problem. So don’t turn on the burner. Just wait until the alcohol is almost out the ignite the burner. Yes, it will take a lot of time and it will not work in the wind. You need to be somewhere calm. Super awesome stove by the way. I think I’m going to buy it just because I find the “involved-ness” a slight romantic feature about the stove. It’s unique and takes a skilled hand. Sounds like a special tool.
Nice video. I have a Barthel Norma E21 which I run on meths and it burns with a hard blue flame and a comforting hiss although I'm not sure it would be as fast as yours. I'll have to do a speed test.
Interesting set up. Not sure it is actually faster than a regular trangia. A good test would be to time both styles from the moment you take them out of their containers to actual boil. Useful for home though or car camping etc.
The difference is that you can regulate the flame for simmering etc much easier and precise than a Trangia. This reminds me of the white gas Coleman stoves but without the pumping and obviously lighter weight, although the Coleman is built like a tank for long lasting and taking a beating. Guess is just a matter of preference.
I got a ld Turm 144 stove, thats pretty the same out f the 50th.. if cut a small ring out of can to optimize the oxygen that flows near the flame, the flame will be blue and some hotter.
Very informative video, thanks for posting The longer the carbon molecule in the fuel, the yellower the flame. Methanol has a blue flame, but the vapour is toxic (although the fumes are no more so than ethanol)
You mentioned having to prime it like with the Coleman white gas stove.To me it's more like one of the MSR Wisperlight white gas stoves. Something else , folks always puts white gas in the MSR Wisperlight priming pan , using denatured alcohol makes more sense to me , no soot that way. My stove of choice is alcohol or wood ( twigs ) when camping. By the way the saying that he who has the most camping gear is the winner , a lot of us are in that race. lol.
I received this today, and had to disassemble it in order to get it flowing; I was able to get it to flow, but I had to tighten up the brass fitting near the valve... be careful when you remove the fuel tank, for there's still alcohol in the fuel line. Just open the valve, and the fuel line will drain. If you have a funnel, have the alcohol flow back into your storage bottle... Oh, if you don't want to carry a funnel, get a Trangia fuel bottle; they come in 3 sizes (350ml, 500ml, 1L), and they're easy to fill that tank using that bottle!
Thanks for another good vid. Do you have the jet number by chance"? im looking to buy some dets to modify the hole size on my BRS 12A to run alcohol. Thanks
Ethanol and petrol are the same safety wise, both vaporise at normal temperatures and both are as flammable as each other. Pure ethanol can run a petrol engine if the carb is set up for it.
I see there's a different model coming out of China that has a wind shield. But, it costs 3x the price. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make one? I am looking forward to any mods that come in the future.
You might/could repurpose a large juice, soup, or coffee can but then you would, of course, have to use tin-snips to cut a virticle slit into the can and knock down the sharp edges with some sand paper. If that wont work, I'm thinking the stove/chimney pipe section of a home-center store should have something that would also do the job.
A cool little stove. Not practical for me personally due to size and cost, but the concept based on the Coleman gas generator stoves is one that I like. Where is it made? Or did I miss that part in the presentation. Keep the videos coming Buddy.
@@Bucky1836 on my channel, this coming monday will be posting a video on a simple alchohol stove of my design. May want to come by tommarow and check it out.
Nice! Came here to see how they work. Though of buying one myself. With all the things going on in Ukraine and energy krisis and the threat that they'll not promise there'll not be episodes of black outs. One of these and you can always make yourself some pasta bolognese, a bacon cheese burger and so on. I'm not a fan of propane so much stuff and only one use. I could use a kerosene stove too but I've not seem any new wick types and most vintage requires a lot of work. I'm not a fan of the Primus type either. Too tedious to start and again mostly vintage stuff that requires a lot of efford to get running - if I only had a proper work shop. So I might just order myself an alcohol one in the near future. Always have alcohol as it's used for many things, degreasing and so on.
Have you tried it with different types of alcohol to see how works could you make a video that please Keep on making interesting videos like this thank you very much
Another continuous fed alcohol stove that might be interesting for you is the HPV Salsa burner from Germany. thailand-travelbase.com/2020/07/23/hpv-salsa-regulating-alcohol-stove/ The orange flames is something most people complain about with this Lixada stove. Apparently there is something wrong with the design. Maybe the air inlet is too small ?
Brilliant! You could run it on the cheapest, shittiest moonshine you could find. I guess you could make your own alcohol but that seems kinda pointless if you have the means to run a still already. All in all I think it's really very cool. Thanx for sharing.😊
I'd be curious to see how long it will run on a single tank. That's the main problem (besides wind) with Trangia-type stoves is that they burn up a lot of alcohol for the amount of time they burn. Hopefully, with the valve, this thing will be more fuel efficient.
Yeah I plan on doing a test to see how long it runs, I was thinking of cooking an entire meal on it and seeing if it can last long enough for a whole meal. It seems to not burn a ton, in this video alone, it hardly used any when I drained the tank and put it back in the bottle but it was just from eyeballing it, I didn't measure it out
Oh no not another one it was your video that convinced me to go and buy the camp chef ms200 that I absolutely enjoy gonna have to save more pennies it looks like I'm going to buy another stove lol really enjoy your videos thanks for sharing keep em coming
I have been buying the denatured alcohol at Home Depot, for some reason people have not grabbed it all up. Its in the paint section, in one gallon cans. Think it was around 12 or 15 bucks a can
I just bought one. Couldn't resist. I had trouble getting Alcohol to drip down into the pan. I had to unloosen the valve near the tank and tilt the stove in order to get it to drip. Do you know if this Is this normal? Also, is it normal for the copper fitting connected to the tank to get hot? Do you know if you can you use 99% alcohol in the stove?

I think this would be great for back packing and better then propane
Boiling water in less then three minutes makes this like a regular home stove. Great item
I picked one up a couple years ago and think its great. The only downside I have found is the adjustment handle gets very hot.

Great review,
I think I'm going to buy one of those.
I've used German alcohol stoves, and this isn't as heavily built like those are... and, it isn't as heavy as my Turm Sport... nice thing to have!

Nice, exactly like an old Punker or Turm stove. I think Primus made them also.
This is the first time I have seen this product and thank you for sharing this information with us! 😀 Nicely done ✔
It's like a fancier penny stove..Pretty good buy!

Ethanol and petrol are the same safety wise, both vaporise at normal temperatures and both are as flammable as each other. Pure ethanol can run a petrol engine if the carb is set up for it.
big difference is you can put out an ethanol fire with water. don't put water on a petrol fire!
Liked for having an old Swedish army "Sprit 35" (Alcohol 35) bottle as your fuel container.
Thanks, it came with a Swedish cook kit I reviewed ages ago but it really comes in handy and never leaks
Thanks for the video on the stove.
That is a pretty slick and different stove. I just did a video on a trangia type alcohol stove. Love different options.
This is unusual stove!!🌞🌎👍
My guess is that it's intended as a base camp stove or wilderness cabin stove
I like it
How much for one of these
It's very interesting, but I don't think it will be replacing my old coleman 425 liquid fuel stove. It's 50 years old and still very dependable.
Ive gotboth restoring a 425 b but i got this stove for car

No need to cart around a funnel, just keep the metho in an old sauce bottle and then you can just squeeze it in 💁🏼♀️
