Bought one of these after watching your and others videos. Very happy with it. Great little stove for hot drinks and soups, small pots of pasta, etc. How did I not know about these sooner?! 👍🏻
Been using it all summer. Crazy how something so efficient can cost so little. I have a titanium mug with lid, the small one at 400ml and inside it fit a titanium windshield, a Speedster wire pot stand, small bottle of meths and a Mini Bic lighter. Superb little stove kit, and so safe ❤️
@@wildnessoutdoors the one I made was about 3 inches in diameter and it made too much flame in my opinion. Yours looks more effective not wasting flame.
I built an alcohol stove with an old Daisy pellet can I had laying around in 2017ish. I used some welders' carbon felt instead of fiberglass to absorb the liquid, no spills, some screening from a tea leaf strainer to hold the felt in place. It holds 2 oz. or 60 ml of alcohol and with 1 oz of fuel will burn over 15 minutes. I use a Zen Camps wind screen/burner that works with alcohol or solid fuel and, though not designed that way, have used a small twig fire inside. I like things that can work with multiple options. At 76 years old, I like things that work well rather than being the lightest thing in the world. Function over form as it were.
Been using these for around 2 years now ,paired with the stormin cone and titanium mug makes a very light cook system . I also carry a spare stove as they are so light .
I have one of these and the accompanying windshield/potstand designed for use with the MSR Titan kettle. As a system, it's bloody fantastic and lightweight. Not the most efficient burner, fuel and time-wise, but the tiny weight and pack size more than make up for that on short missions. I think for long adventures, it's probably better to go with a burner that is hotter and faster, to save carrying large volumes of liquid fuel (the Evernew Titanium spirit burner comes to mind, but damn they're expensive!) But yeah... My conclusion is this thing kicks ass!
Exactly, they kick ass! I plan to get a custom windshield/potstand for my Pathfinder cup. Also, the Boundless Voyage titanium burner you can see briefly in this video is half the price of the Evernew and it's pretty much the same as far as I can tell. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
@@wildnessoutdoors I have the Boundless Voyage and Evernew it attempts to clone. They both work. The difference is the Evernew works better (faster bloom, lower boil time, less fuel used in side by side testing.) Took me ages and a lot of searching to figure out why. So the Evernew, like the Trangia before it, has a wicking material (cotton, I believe) in the void between the walls. This helps it work better by quite a margin. Of course, the price difference is pretty huge and they both work well, so it comes down to how much your budget can stretch, really. Caveat: my Boundless Voyage clone is a few seasons old and they may have altered the design to include a wicking material by now (but I somehow doubt it at that price!)
@@wildnessoutdoors btw, the shields are great. Very thin stainless steel. Light, strong enough, easy to use. Only downside is the pin that closes it up isn't attached to anything, so could easily get lost if you're clumsy like me! That being said, it's easy to replace being just a piece of bent wire and I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to hack a little something to attach it to the body... I recommend the shields wholeheartedly. Mine is epically useful, esp since alcohol is horrible in the wind.
Ah right, I didn't realise the wicking made that much of a difference. Paleo Hiker MD channel compared them and while there was a difference in boil time etc. it wasn't massive. I find my Boundless one to be great for boiling water but pretty inefficient overall especially for cooking. I haven't used it at all since I discovered Speedster lol
Yeah, I made my own very similar to this stuffed with rockwool. I thought I'd come up with the idea! Another guy on yt - ZD Wild Camping - shows another method, coiling some stove-door rope (firebox rope?) around in a tin lid. Fitted tightly, it probably doesn't even need any mesh over it. One minor problem with these is their susceptibility to being blown out in a breeze without a windbreak, or just fluttering around losing some heat, where a jet-type pop can stove is hard to blow out. Anyway, very good video, glad I found this, and I don't even mind being punched in the face.
Thanks for watching! Most definitely a windbreak is needed. I find they don't really get extinguished by light/moderate wind but their efficiency drops off pretty sharply.
Happy I found this video as I've been developing two different prototype stoves along these lines for a few months to eventually sell. Both versions use capillary wicking function, but a different design concept. Mine seem to be much more efficient and practical than the ones in the video, but that's just my opinion and I could be wrong, time will tell. I love inventing new things or improving existing things and it's been a fun journey of discovery for this project. I was wondering have you have ever measured the 50ml tin to see if it's 22mm H? I only ask because I haven't found a commercially available tin at 50ml less than 25mm H with the lid on.
Excellent video and a nice bit of kit. Thanks for not putting the pot on the flame before filling it. So many other folks do that in their videos and I just detest it.
Reminds me of a burner I got from QiWiz here in america who has some products for ultralight hikers. I don't think his are spilless though as he advertizes that the lid of his can be used for burning solid fuel tablets on and doing that would butn off any sort of lining or seal I think. He does sell a very similar pot stand to the wire one you showed with the hinge in it. Don't know how the sizes comepare.
Yeah I never mentioned in the video about the seal in the lid. It's a spongy disk type thing that would definitely be destroyed by solid fuel. Thanks for watching 😁
Capillary-stove is best. This author's is 11g. It's best because it generates a tiny pressure differential, leading to an efficient blue-flame with less soot. It also directs the flame straight-up, coupling heat-to-pot efficiently. Capillary is also a true stove, with built-in pot-stand.
I have made my own stoves to this design. I use a 35mm diameter one for simmer as one ml of meths burns for one minute which makes timing convenient. I have another larger one that has twice the surface area that brings water to boil twice as fast. I have made a thin aluminium stand just using a hacksaw, scissors and a file that lets me "hot swop" the burners as needed. There is a video on my site if you are interested
Most RUclipsrs only show products they make money from, or sell there souls for : ( Thank you for sharing these stoves :) sadly at this time there store is closed for 8 days.
Depends massively on conditions and if you use a windshield etc. but the small 20ml burner does enough water for a brew (around 350ml) in about 10 mins. The larger 50ml will be faster obviously though I usually use it for cooking food. I'll maybe do some time trials if there's enough interest 🤔
@@wildnessoutdoors I like my jet boil, it's bulky heavy and you can't really cook in it but it makes coffee fast. I haven't had good luck with alcohol stoves but these 😁 look like good options for that.
I've a Jetboil Minimo which is ok for cooking, even on lowest setting it's still pretty hot but you can get some decent meals cooked in it. Perfect for a super fast coffee though.
Yeah they're probably easy enough to make, I just figured for the price of all the components I may as well just buy them pre-made lol thanks for watching!

This was awesome, thank you from DFW Texas USA
Thanks for watching 😁
I didn't know they sold these. I made one three years ago using a Daisy BB tin, black plumber's soldering cloth, and stainless steel wire mesh.
Nice! I figured for the price of all the parts I may as well just buy them ready made lol
@@wildnessoutdoors the one I made was about 3 inches in diameter and it made too much flame in my opinion. Yours looks more effective not wasting flame.
You can lay a thin circle of metal or a coin on top to limit the flame.
I used an alcohol stove in a motel room once and had a close call, after that I always put it in the sink to avoid a fire

Got one on your recommendation and am delighted with it. Thank you.
Excellent! This comment made my day lol 😆
Those look cool. Thanks for sharing those burners. Crow✌️
Thanks for watching 😁 they are indeed very cool!!
Nice one PJ I've never seen these snd I'm a big fan of spirt burners thanks a million 😊
I'm always surprised how few people know about them! Plus good to support a small business. Cheers for watching mate.

Hello thanks for the video ! What kind of alcohol do you use ? Thanks
I usually use methylated spirits. Thanks for watching 😁
Very cool, well I know what I'm making for my next project now! ✌️
Nice one 👌
Great stoves, although i found that the wadding in mine shrunk after a while and no longer fills the whole diameter of the stove.
Interesting. Does it affect the function though?
Very cool. Just ordered a couple.
Hope you enjoy them 😁
Thanks for watching!
@@wildnessoutdoors I think I will be happy with them.
Thanks for sharing mate, might try make one

How do you control the heat to cook on? I can see these are good lightweight water boilers.
The maker sells simmer rings or you can use a coin. To be honest I've never had the need, they give a nice heat for cooking. Thanks for watching 😁
@@wildnessoutdoors have you tried their carbon felt option? I was wondering if they are different?
I haven't, no. I'm not sure what the advantage is supposed to be. Slower burn maybe??

Stainless steel screen and carbon felt. Make your own. Simple as can be.
True. Though for the price of all the parts you may as well just buy pre-made. 😁
Greencraft shows you how to make something like that.
Yeah they're probably easy enough to make, I just figured for the price of all the components I may as well just buy them pre-made lol thanks for watching!
@@wildnessoutdoors For those prices I would be tempted. He uses push tins and I had wondered about using screw tins.
