You've NEVER Seen a Stove Like This Before - Famgee Tripod Alcohol Stove
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- Last Year I came across a rather interesting alcohol stove - stove that included a tripod stand.
I have seen these stands before in the past, in fact I reviewed the Mil-Tec Alcohols stove stand some years back - the problem with that product is that it is difficult to locate.
That’s why when I saw this stove and stand I was intrigued....intrigued enough to order one and to test it out.
This comes from a company called Famgee and this is the Famgee Tripod Alcohol Stove; it is time for my Agenda Free Review.

Pretty interesting alcohol stove there. Thanks for the in-depth look Luke 👍
Remove the lid and turn the legs back to the storage position. Now you should be able to use a small cup.
A better way is to turn it upside down as there is little prongs there.
I bought that little stove around 5 or 6 years ago and have used it many times and it's not a bad little stove I like it. Great review Luke
I've used many stoves in my backpacking life. I started out with a SVEA 123 in the '70s and then upgraded to a Coleman Feather 442. I found white gas stoves heavy, smelly and finicky to use. I got an almost identical alcohol stove around 1990 in San Jose, CA for $12 that is under the SafeSport label. The tripod on my stove is slightly different since it doesn't have springs and the top pot supports can be rotated inward to support smaller pots. Your video on alcohol stoves is accurate. Alcohol stoves aren't as efficient as canister stoves but they are kind of fun to use if all you need to do is boil water. In my opinion canister stoves rule and are cheap, reliable and efficient.
I made a DIY "Fancy Feast" alcohol stove over a decade ago for the price of a cat food can, I piece of aluminum beer bottle, and a piece of fiberglass cloth. Its an alcohol stove; they all have pretty much perform the same. The only reason I'd pay anything close to the cost of this Famgee stove is for the stand.
Hi Luke. Your opening shot showed a Trangia burner so that I what I want to discuss. I've seen several vids from people complaining that a Trangia burner gives a very yellow sooty flame and trying to modify the burner to cure this. Remember that the Trangia is primarily sold with the #25 and #27 cooksets. The burner sits inside an all encompassing windshield. I read somewhere that the Trangia cookset whould be positioned with the air inlet holes facing into the wind. That way, you get a good updraught of air passing the burner and the flame burns blue with more heat. There's nothing that needs to be modified with the Trangia burner. It just needs to be used as the manufacturer originally intended.
Thank you for your explanation.
You can buy the Trangia burner separately from sets. Mine is 30 years old.
Whatinell are they trying to burn in them ? stoves like this are designed to burn what we call methylated spirits (dunno what you call the stuff) which burns blue, you can't see it at all in broad daylight.
Sadly he won’t respond
YES he will. He always responds. Give him time. The “turning the arms inside for smaller pots” was useful
Hi Luke. I know you pride yourself on the quality and accuracy of your reviews, hence this comment to help preserve accuracy. At 2:36 you say the capacity of the stove is 180 liters. I think you meant to say 180 milliliters.
I wouldn't want to be near 180 liters of burning alcohol.
For boiling a smaller cup on the stand I suggest turning two legs out and one leg in to support the cup
Or you can get a stainless steel kitchen sink drain grate and it'll fit perfectly inside the legs with them all out. I have one that I use with mine sometimes and it works great to support smaller cups or the Stanley cook set that everyone seems to have.
Got one for Xmas , they are brilliant
I have 2 of them and enjoy using them. I use them for making ramen noodles mostly but have used them during a power outage from a storm
I have one of this stove. You can boost it, by disassemble it, and put some thing between the two layer of the stove, like foil or aluminum can. The Capillary effect will bring more acohol to the hole, and it will burn much hotter, but also run out of fuel faster.
I put carbon felt inbetween the two layers and this stove became a beast!
I bought something like this from the Sportsman's Guide about 20 years ago. It works but it's a lil heavy compared to other alcohol stoves. Built like a tank.
Very good value Luke.
Alcohol stoves are super quiet but take a little longer to boil water. If silence is what you’re after, an alcohol stove is for you.
As always, thank you for the info
I've built a bunch of tin can stoves, tiny to Arizona or Foster's sized. Tripod pot stands from bent light stainless rod, bottom pan and wind screens from aluminum flashing or even foil. They ain't rocket science. It all ends up being pretty light. The smaller ones are going to be more economical. I carry one of mine in the van. Cup sized bag, wind screen cup stand, bottom preheat pan and alcohol squeeze bottle, all in the cup. Somewhat slow, but quiet. This one is, a little fiddly and I can see the problem with the stand and small cups. That whole cage is heavy. I think if I were to buy something commercial, a Trangia would be more convenient.
Very interesting! I enjoy all types of stoves as well. Great price too by the way! Cheers Luke!
This design has been around for a long time. I bought one nearly 35 years ago and it still works as well as the day I got it. On mine the legs and pot supports work independently so accommodate smaller pots as well.
Same here. I’ve had mine for 35+ years as well. Nothing new here.
Hi Luke! Saw this stove in one or more of your adventures and decided to get one for myself. Your pro's and con's are right on the money for this stove. I found the stove to have a pretty decent output, but you really DO need a windscreen of some sort, to direct the heat to your pot/pan/cup. Been thinking of an add-on that would make the stove more useable with smaller cups and pots. If I come up with anything worthwhile, I will share with everyone. I would say the stove is an excellent value for the money, though. Definitely watch Lukes video on alochol stoves!
yes good job brother
It looks like you might be able to invert the cap and use it for solid fuel. Have you tried that?
Hey Luke, I think you will know about this one, can you please do a video on US military surplus (specifically US Marines), and the smell (i think is the water proofing) and what can be done about it or should anything be done with it, what it is etc. Im pretty sure you will know what I'm talking about here. Old, new doesn't matter, there is that distictive smell. I think it would help a lot of people and keep them informed.
I love the stand in this stove really nice 😊
One of the challenges I've experienced with this stove is the volume that can be used. My cat can stove is only half the volume capacity. You have to either let a ton of alcohol burn or figure out a way to snuff the flame when you're done cooking. Its cheap, it works, and has a decent folding stand, but it's not ideal for backpacking IMO.
Stove works well. Have had one for well over 10 years. Bought it from Sportsman's Guide. For someone who posted earlier. The legs and pot support have an angle to them. They are not flat. The ends are higher then the parts attached to the stand. When folded in it takes on more like a diamond shape and would not be stable on the ground or the pot.
Very Interesting.
I bought this stove several months ago and Luke’s review is accurate, can’t beat it for the price but you will need a wide pot and a windscreen. I don’t know if it means anything but this stove burns with a blue flame unlike most alcohol burners which burn yellow. My go-to alcohol stove is a Trangia or Evernew burner inside a Zen Triangle stand.
Interesting product! You should take a look at the TOMSHOO alcohol stove. It's a titanium stove similar to the TOAKS alcohol stove but with folding feet and pot holder. You can get it with a lid which I've used to pre-heat the alcohol in the coldest of Canadian winter. It always surprises my friends how fast I can bring water to a boil with it.
So true ! Really remarkable stove.
My homemade one is apparently lost since I haven't backpacked in quite a while. It definitely looks like it's worth the money. Mine was a lot lighter, using mostly aluminum from a pop can and a piece of dryer duct for the stand/windscreen.
I have one released by Lixada. I've used it once. Yes,a larger cup is needed. Also, mine came with a different storage bag. Drawstring instead of a zipper.
I like alcohol stoves but im more of a ultralight backpacker and its just to heavy id rather bring a gas canister and a brs3000 its lighter and works better. When i use a alcohol stoves i use the X-Boil system its amazing its made localy in germany i dont know if its available in the us but it is expensive maybee you could do a review of it.
Get a Windmaster 😅
I am in England well Cornwall and I’ve had this stove for ages without the storage case and I really like it downside is you have to pour the fuel back in but it’s a good stove in my opinion
Yeah you are in England. It does look like an excellent little stove for the money no doubt about it. 😊
I like the 'gadget aspect' of alcohol stoves. They're interesting and fun to play with and I have a few, including a cat food can stove I made myself but for anything other than one night in nice weather, I'm packing my Soto Amicus! 😄 Don't forget, you gotta pack enough alcohol to run the stove, so for overall weight, the canister might prove to be the lighter choice as well. Alcohol's better in freezing temperatures but at 61, I don't winter camp much anymore, so the Soto Amicus is a better choice for me.
Just ordered one! We’ll see!😂
That’s pretty damn good bang for your buck.
I think the off center strap is so it will lay flat attached to moly web or belt
ive had a brass one since the 80s
Luke, 180 ML not L, is the fuel capacity
Alcohol stoves are for those times when you want some peace and quiet. Burners are efficient but noisy, not for everyone.
What’s very interesting this is not a new Stove at all. In fact, this is very similar to my first Stove from 1995. At that time it was sold by Sportsman’s Guide under the name “safe sport “I’ve seen it under several other names including ‘stansport’ and ‘Simon’. In fact, Simon seems to be the most common name for the Stove. My original 1995 copy did not have the locking legs but other than that it seems to be almost identical. Mine came with a pleather pouch not nylon.
As far as cons go, my thoughts are the same about zero simmer ability. In addition, the stove has a very large capacity, which seems like it would be an advantage however, in my experience, it takes Stove a really long time to bloom with a full load of fuel , therefore I would only fill mine about halfway. I did have a failure of one of mine what it happened was I had left some methanol fuel basically yellow bottle heet in the stove overnight. When I went in the morning, the aluminum inner sleeve had completely corroded. There was no longer a gap between the inner sleeve, and the outer cup and flames no longer came out of the holes. It would still burn, but not nearly as efficiently that’s an important thing to always store empty, it can be tricky because if you miss judge how much fuel to put in it, you’ll have leftover fuel and it’s problematic pouring it out with all the little holes like a dribble glass.
Luke, please get in the Trail Designs Ti-Tri. It'll be by far the best Alcohol stove you've used.
I mean....nobody will be cooking a real meal on it, but campers and hikers who only eat freeze dried meals would be set with it. A light compact water boiler for them will handle their meals and coffee/tea.
new phrase 4u "it does what it says on the tin"
I've the Trangia and while it's fine, if you get the whole kit it's a bit pricey. I've a titanium folding wood stove that is small and fits the Trangia fine and supports anything from my coffee cup to a mid-sized pot. Like stated by others, you're not going to get a fast boil or cook much with it, but it's small and it does what it needs to, if you're patient.
All very well, now we have to find a container that very thin liquids are guaranteed not to leak from !
new camera? the 1080@60 is nice!
Could you possibly turn one of the legs, or all of them, inwards to support a mug/small pot?
Check out the X-Boil from Germany. Its a really cool and super lightweight.
Would you recommend this stove for a long backpacking trip? Or any other recommendations?
Bought one of these out of curiosity about three years ago. Sent it back. You can't store unused alcohol in it. I'll stick with my Trangia burner, ( now 30 years of service) and a Trangia triangle which can be set up for alcohol or gas. With alcohol, the little cross bars available on Amazon for the Trangia take smaller pot sizes within the Triangle if need be. Alcohol when time is not an issue. Gas when it is.
I will never buy another alcohol stove based on whether they have a sealing lid. Both my Trangia and Red camp burners distorted from the heat after a couple of burns and no longer seal properly. I'm pretty good at judging how much alcohol I need for what I'm cooking so I'll stick with that.
@@ernieschatz3783 Quite amazed at this. I have a couple of Trangia alcohol stoves bought with different cook sets. My oldest is 30 years my 'youngest' two years old. I have never had a problem with sealing and on my 30 year burner, I've cleaned the burner and kept the rubber ring in the lid lubricated so the rubber doesn't dry out. It's the original ring and I've used it probably hundreds of times over the years. In fact I've replaced pots but never the burner sealing ring.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY Luke and thank you for sharing your equipment testing my friend and sharing the facts and truth
Do you know of Goshawk stoves from Australia? They have a real variety of alcohol stove and stands.
I saw what looked like this stove on Walmart website
The stove itself looks like a white box alcohol stove with an additional stand. Not sure if you can completely snuff it and save the unburnt fuel
At around the 6:00 you say it may not work with small pots. Can you lock the legs back over the flame after removing the lid and lighting it?
I'm still using butane, thanks
I've never owned or used an Alcohol stove. Never have, never will.
My Soto Windmaster, canister fuel stove & one of the original MSR Whisperlite liquid fuel bottle stove replaced my old Sterno stove. Done!
could you turn one leg in for a smaller pot or would that be unstable
Can you extinguish it with the cap?
I turned the outer pot into a whisky tumbler , the rest got recycled. Alcohol is great .
Hey, stupid question, what if you flipped the pot stand over the stove? The feet that normally hold the stove could hold a smaller pot. Is that possible?
Isn't this what Goshawk does with several stoves?
I80 litres is 47.5 gallons, you American folk really should embrace the metric system. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪.
Can't you push down the pot supports and move them back to the inside to use smaller pot
I have an interesting idea, when u hike u can attach big helium baloon to your backpack and it will reduce the weight for you, might be funny to see it, of course not near trees.
Just where is the center of the circle's circumference?
What alcohol do you use? Something like Everclear 95% from the state booze store?
Is there an o-ring? Can alcohol be transported in it?
Cheap as chips - that's good. Looks like it is hard to put out the flame afterwards though - how do you do it?
@MattGoesOutside The alcohol burner lid is designed to put the flame out by putting the lid back on top of the burner.
@@ThreeLegsTheBandit thanks mate. Have bought one, they look very convenient
Luke is that Dandruff on your shirt 😂
FOURTEEN DOLLARS? That price will not last long once these things start flying off the shelves. Now to find an insulated wind block. With ten minutes until hot water, reheating a canned meal, or rehydrating a freeze-dried meal can be ready while you might have been looking for dry wood for a twig stove.
Yeah that's the problem, now he has shown it no doubt the sales will rocket along with the price. Hope not like but that's usually the way ain't it 😊
Just put the stand on upside down… then you can use smaller cups
Fam-G is my Grandma's rap name.
I knew them Europeans were swindling us -180 litres of fuel capacity - 6 fluid ounces 😂
Yeah nah better stuff out there.
Toaks siphon or bust!!
Any chance we can put a Zipper on it,
I am top fan ❤
🙄
Luke, i think you mean 180ml? Not liters.
I tried to make my own alcohol stove the other day and it wasnt lighting so i shook it and covered myself with flaming alcohol panicked then knocked over a liter of alcohol witch engulfed my hole garage in flames like a white snake concert. Luckily had a fire extinguisher on the wall witch put out the flames.
Jesus Christ dude. That was a lot of disaster for a few sentences.
@@benalexander2104 ya I got off easy only my clothes where burned but holy crap did it get scary fast
My little Lixada titanium alcohol stove will whip that thing's butt in a boil test. I swear I have to watch that little stove like a hawk. No way it takes anywhere near 10minutes to boil 2 cups of water.
Not bad, i got one is little better. Long it does the job , very cool
That's the smallest one hundred eighty litre container I've ever seen. 😆 Nice review, Luke.
Yeah I thought that.... it must be sport Billy's stove
@@BigJasonSOS Sport Billy! There's a blast from the past.
@@badnewsBH LOL thank god you remember it too. I was beginning to wonder if it was some kind of Mandela effect happening to me as until your reply it seemed nobody remembers sport billy except me. Yeah showing my age. How great would it be if we had such a thing as a sport billy bag eh, you could just bring and pull out castle with you when camping lol. 😉 😁
It needs a zip 😂
2:34 wow a capacity of 180 L in such a small space XD one for the blooper section
You should check out my tripod stand stove. "DIY Stove With Integrated Pot Stand". Lighter weight. Way more efficient. Cost about $2. Love your channel. Thanks. Tom
180 litres???? lol man is losing it :D:D:D:D
Have had one of these stoves for a while now and its been great for boiling water. Paid only 10 pounds for it at the time of purchase, bargain. Lee...
You mean 180 milliliters
180 liters ( I would like to see that )
180 milliliters not litres
Have you tested the Goshawk ERA burner with windproof stand?
I was thinking of pairing that with a "Vango Ultralight Heat exchanger"
emergency backup yes, bargain price.
It may hang off center, but that strap probably isn't going to rip open the seam since it's stitched into it.
Durability over style on that
this stove looks bulky and awful in comparison to a penny stove or just a brs 3000t
That stove is not efficient, a lot of the flame is outside of the pot and the heat is being wasted. It's also huge, heavy and fugly.
Too heavy....thing about these stoves is they're light, or should be.
I'll stick with a fuel source that cannot spill.
180 liters, really?😅 180ml i guess?
Always this talk about spirit stoves beeing slow and inefficient... If you are in a hurry when you are out in the woods you missed the whole point of beeing there. Those extra minutes it takes to boil some water is an excellent time to look around and slow down your mind... Just my two cents.
