- The term “Ultralight Cook Kit” is frequently used to describe cooking systems available at your favorite outfitter. The goal of this video is to showcase some of the many (lighter) options for the alcohol stove DIY’ers. Reviewing the progression of my designs, we get a sentimental view comparing what works, what we have changed, and our favorite alcohol stoves made from nothing but materials found at home.

I had to show my wife the pile of stoves in front of you - I said, you thought I was bad for making stoves, haha. I understand the addiction. Great video and great channel! Thank you!!
That final stove happens to be the 1st successful stove i ever made, just started this. Seems to work really well as like you said it blooms soooo quickly
Thank you very much for your video. It was so therapeutic. I feel...forgiven. Perhaps we are all forgiven if we acknowledge the 12 steps of home made alcohol stoves.
That final one is my go to one too. Made from a Coca Cola mini can. 5 grams, very easy to make, efficient.
Making alcohol stoves is VERY ADDICTIVE!
I made and designed alcohol stoves for years until I hit a wall where I could not make a more fuel efficient alcohol stove.
I'm happy to see someone with a lot of stoves , Makes me feel normal. Many years ago , on a river trip the guy's were snickering at me with the soda can stove I made. Their gas stove died on them and for three days I cooked the meals for the three of us on my soda can stove. Made believers out of them. By the way a good light weight pot stand can be as easy as three metal ground steaks set around the stove.
Know what you are saying about the packs , my packs base weight today is 7.15 pounds without the consumables.
I love the ground stakes idea! 💡
It's a fun and all consuming hobby. I have built all of these over the years. Now I am down to a 600ml titanium cup with either an Elite clone or a Zelph type fancy feast with a titanium inner. The elite fits inside the fancy feast, if I want to take a second smaller cup. I haven't tried the last one you showed, in fact I haven't built one for over a year, I better give it a try. Thanks.
Fantastic video. Really informative and helped me decide which stoves I want to build and test. Thanks.
Hola, soy de Argentina. Veo tus videos y ... eres un gran genio de la cocina de alcohol. aprecio el aporte de tu video - voy a recormendar el video por siempre a mis compañeros
-------------------------------
Hello I am from Argentina. I see your videos and ... you're a great alcohol cooking genius. I appreciate the contribution of your video - I will remember the video forever to my classmates-
Loved this video! Definitely would have enjoyed it more if it was longer 😊
With the super cat stove, the bottom of the fancy feast you can put carbon felt at the very bottom of the stove. It will burn a lot longer once fuel soaks in.
That many stoves? Thats insane!
Then I realized I made 5 last night.
Looks like author moved away from alcohol stoves, but might've left some capability on the cutting-room floor? Ended with Capillary, which is correct, but might've missed some improvements? Pressure gives blue-flame, but spits liquid fuel. In order to counter sputtering liquid, create a chamber at the bottom (see your very first stove in this vid?). Then Capillary that above the highest liquid fuel level. Tighten-up the capillaries. The thinner the better. Lastly, the inner should extend 1"-1.5" above the outer for fully burned fuel before reaching the bottom of the pot.
Skip the vent-holes punched into the inner, they release valuable pressure. The goal is as much pressure as possible that doesn't spit liquid fuel. Use a tiny bit of white 2,000° felt just at the bottom of the chamber to aid vaporization. As long as liquid never touches the capillaries, the stove won't spit. If vent-holes are still necessary, file the tiniest "V"-grooves where the pot sits to maximize pressure without spitting.
Someone else mentioned tightening-up the windscreen. If possible, tighten windscreen at the top, Caldera-cone-style? The goal is to create a superheated zone up the sides of the pot. If tightness is achieved at the top of the pot and exhaust holes become necessary to keep the stove from being starved of oxygen, the exhaust-holes should be punched below the bottom of the pot to maximize the super-heated zone. Below the exhaust-holes will be cooler and above the exhaust-holes will be the hottest zone where the pot sits.
Been looking for a video like this for a while, very informative and great set up, thx for the different stove styles and stay safe
Thank you!
Cool. I’ve played around building different stoves but you have me beat. 😊. I haven’t seen the Red Bull stove you show last. I’m going to give that a try.
My favorite is a fancy feast with carbon felt and a aluminum coffee can instead of a tomato paste can. Comes in at 0.4oz
You’re an alcohol stove connoisseur!! 😁
Just found your channel .... awesome stuff man! I’ve spent way too much time in my garage messing with alcohol burners. Keep the content coming!
Thanks very much! I can totally relate Haha.
Skurkas stove is a super cat stove, the one you showed next is a fancee feest stove
Very nice. I’d like to try some with a wick. What size fiberglass cloth do you use - and is it tape or do you glue it on?
Pretty cool i got into making stoves recently and i finally made a rockstar chimenny jet stove ive designed from the big bottles i had to play with it for a while to get it right
13: 40 - "Groove" stove. Easy to make, but burns hot an eats fuel. ;)
I made many alcohol stoves. I went through the Zen Backpacking Stove site and built every one, modified some, watches all of Hiram Cook’s videos, performed many boil and duration tests, kept notes, logs, and spreadsheets documenting every aspect of everything I did.
I ultimately settled on a Docooler nesting wood gasifier stove with a solo alcohol burner. Yes it’s heavy but versatile. For a light overnighter or two alcohol is fine but in cold weather or for longer duration indigenous fuel is tops. No need for the weight of the fuel and the comfort of a nice roaring hot pitchy fat wood fire on a cold night is a justifiable luxury.
As far as the solo alcohol burner is concerned they’re not the most efficient but with an adjustable pot stand and a full jacket wind screen it works just fine. The advantage is it holds three ounces and has a tight screw lid so there’s no waste, it has a choke, and it’s always ready.
Cool video brother….👍🏻🔥
awesome videos! i just fell hard down this build your own stove rabbit hole. i made a couple roll top stoves with putting the top upside down into the bottom. in one tutorial a guy drilled a hole in the inside of the stove to keep the stove from “bulging” did you ever experiment with that? and you mentioned the surface area, do the three dents around the rim help?
Love your ideas thanks.
I doubt the penny stove is as low efficiency as people credit it. Thing is, people use very narrow pots, and the stoves that spread the flames get a disadvantage. Use a wide pot like the stowaway and efficiency will leap greatly.
Thank you for posting your video. I've made a couple over the years, but never did all the comparison testing you have done. I think that's great. My wife and I are gearing up for a long hike. Our current setup has a wider pot, holds two liters. (remember, cooking for two). I have a typical penny stove I made from two regular (12 fl.oz.) cans and a wire cloth pot stand. I did once make a stove/stand combo, but it was very un-stable with the large pot on it. What is your recommendations for a large pot? I'd like to make a new one that is stable, but lighter than the wire cloth, and more efficient. My current stove guzzles the alcohol to boil all that water. Thank you.
what would be the link for the diy of the latest stove (redbull) ? thanks
Very cool thank you for the video. I dont know what I am doing wrong but I have tried to make a couple different stoves and they never come out right do you ever sell your stoves please help
Well ive learned that when ur making different sizes the jet holes need to be a bit bigger not by much the more u try the more u learn some stoves like the penny stove require prime like warm the can so it can bloom i usually just spill a bit around the can and light seems to work
Awesome
Do you have the link to your making the stove?
That last one is a zen stove with a pair of scissors its made. I found that style very good. I made my first with a monster can using the top and bottom and get 3 min boil times and no pot stand needed.
Here is the link.

Have you ever tried using white gas (naphtha - Coleman gas ) in any of your stoves ?
No. I have stuck with yellow heet or denatured alcohol.
I have tried, it results in a run away orange, sooty flame. The kind of flame that destroys the aluminum can!
Super ok
Damn if you need them lighter maybe you should just lift some weights! Ha Ha just kidding great video!
