I love the review. The stove was made between 2003 and 2006 (the red bag with yellow cordlock gives it away. The stove now days comes with bag, stove (inside/ outerside burners), windscreen, and 5oz fuel bottle. It will also burn solid fuel tablets (outside burner only) and in a pinch, you can put a 1/2 of dirt in the bottom (this is to protect the bottom from excess heat) and build a twig fire. Its truly a multifuel stove. Keep Walking! Paul Fitzner-Founder, Etowah Outfitters/Etowah Gear
Damn.....found mine in my old camping stuff, its sept of 2023....damn good memories......in a orange bag with the instructions.....used mine in the early 2000s in ecuador......found some denatured alcohol.....still works like a charm.....
I like the long slow burn of that stove. It might be just what I need for cooking a bush-pot stew.👍🔥🥩 It’s not the sacred bacon but red meat works “almost” as good.
“So, what are we doing today?” I will miss those words and the sacred bacon. A part of me is lost without Kevin. I watched all his videos and some several times over. He will be missed. RIP my friend.
Hi Kevin. I just did a video on using " Heet " as a fuel. I'd been using it for a while now but just found out that the fumes from it are highly toxic. I switched to Denatured Alcohol. It's just as good as the Heet and has NO toxic fumes. I'm pouring the Heet into my car's gas tank which is what it was designed for. God Bless brother.
Thank you for making this video. One suggestion: replace three of the matches with three match-sized pieces of fatwood. Light the fatwood slivers to aid in starting your fire's tinder. Madras Mark
I see a new alcohol cook in the woods video and click. Hard to resist. :) I'm finding that titanium is real fussy to cook with unless your flame is well under control, otherwise food burn-in hell results. ;o I've just found a nice simmer solution to my own stove using a tin can lid with a 3x3 5mm diameter hole grid drilled out in the center. Now my beans or soup don't burn. 👍
That's a really cool set-up, Kevin. I like that it seems you could use different fuel with it too. (I.e. solid fuel or wood.) That lunch looked and sounded delicious. Was that cous cous? Thanks for bringing us along with you!
@@MegaWoodswalker I went back and forth with the 2 of them. mi-tac and bushcraft. mi-tac is made by Etowah but Bushcraft is made by someone else. They do use identical material and camo design. mi-tac is lower priced then bushcraft. Bushcraft use to sell Etowah like mi-tac does. But something happen where bushcraft no longer does and went and got his own sewing person. So I went with mi-tac because it is made by Etowah. It's around 2lbs because its a thicker material. When you get into Multicam everything get thicker. Huge tarp though.
Lunch looked great!! Love a peaceful meal outdoors. Toss a couple pieces frozen broccoli in and a shot of soy sauce or terriyaki..better than the take out.
Looks like a very nice design. My primary cook method (here in the U.K.) is a Trangia with methylated spirit. Takes about 10 minutes to boil 4-500 ml of water, if I brim the Trangia it’ll boil 1 litre of water and I’ll have used the full amount. Do you think Trangia or other alcohol stoves work better/more efficiently with more or less airflow? I use a restrictive system which seems to burn quickly and fiercely.
The Trangia and by extension a double walled Pepsi can stove are probably my most used. Are you using a wind screen. That always makes a big difference.
Thanks for the reply, no wind screen as such. The system I use is the Pathfinder Canteen. The base is very enclosed, I feel this is the issue. It takes quite some time to get to temperature but when it does it burns furiously... and the flames disperse into twice it’s original output giving a huge cooking area, by this time though I’ve used 80% of the fuel stored in the Trangia. Based on your advice I think letting the Trangia breathe more by using a different base... but then shielding the whole system may be more effective.
Mega, I think it was you that I saw utilize a pour-over coffee system that uses the cone shaped filters. It appeared to be steel coil in design and had not seen that one before. It was a vid in the last week or so. Would like to know if it was your vid and how liked it/name of item. Thanks! Always love your vids.
Woodswalker, ... you have a video on how to make that Diy heat exchanger on your wood stove? ... That looks like it takes the brunt of the heat which would come in handy on my stove.
Going to do that soon though it will be part of a general stove video. Up next in the hot tenting gear will be sleeping pads but the stove and accessories video will be after that.
Did I see you sprinkle dirt on the top of the burner? Can you explain the purpose of this? Neat stove and impressive performance, thanks for posting the video!
MegaWoodswalker never mind, what I saw was you splashing a bit more fuel on the top. That’s what I get for waking up at 3am and watching RUclips without my glasses 🤓. Do you snap the lid down during the burn or just set it on top?
Greetings Kevin and nice presentation. I am just wondering if the original version of this stove setup had cotton and not fiberglass wicking material? And how long did it last before you have to go out and replace the wicking material?
Hello, you always have some of the coolest gear. That stove is very interesting. I look forward to your next video. Take Care and keep enjoying the outdoors.
Great video as always!! I’d like to ask, why do you suppose it burns so gently? Is it less fierce than a fancy feast style stove? Less fierce than a Trangia? I guess that’s why 2oz fuel can last so long? Very interesting! I might be making one depending on your answer :)
The inner burner has a long simmer mode. Much slower than a Pepsi can stove or Trangia. I speculated in the description as why but not sure. It does boil fast but someone had better boil on the initial part of the burn. Thanks for watching!
@@MegaWoodswalker Many thanks for your reply. I suspect it's something to do with the size and number of the burn holes. I'll do some experiments when I have some free time. To be able to cook meals that take longer is my aim. I always feel restricted by the fast/hot burns of the Pepsi can stoves. But again, thanks for sharing all your knowledge and adventures ... your videos are a real pleasure.
MegaWoodswalker Hi there! I’m guessing that I’m not the only one worried about you ... is everything ok? Hoping all is well ! And hoping for more of your adventures ! Best wishes from the UK.
@@lapicker1010 It's ok. I would be concerned during winter camping or an ER with it's calorie to weight ratio being so poor. However to cut back it's ok.
Hey Walker community, I’m going to finally start my channel and before I use one of the main lines that the Walker used I would like to get permission from y’all first use it. ( so what are we going to do today )
I use either Heet , or 99% Isopropyl alcohol. I tried to buy some denatured alcohol here in Communist California, but it’s been banned.👀 That’s a pretty cool little stove, I’ve never seen one like that.
Ron Mehringer Heet is primarily made of methanol, denatured alcohol is mostly ethanol with a little methanol added.Heet is used inside the gas line to remove water.

Great, just ordered one, they got 10% off right now, and free shipping in USA. Thanks again for showing this stove.
I enjoy your videos very much. You are a great field person. That´s the way to go. Million times better than staying in a hotel.

Nice little stove Kevin. Steak looked very good. I have an Etowah Outfitters tarp I bought a few years ago. They make good stuff.
“So, what are we doing today?” I will miss those words and the sacred bacon. A part of me is lost without Kevin. I watched all his videos and some several times over. He will be missed. RIP my friend.
I just found out this man died, I discovered his videos not long ago. It’s quite sad, he seemed like a good, happy, positive man. RIP
Yes I loved his videos and upbeat positive attitude. Many an evening was spent watching his videos. I lost a friend I never met.
I just found his videos today and subscribed because of his cheerful demeanor. So sad to hear of his death😥
Always great videos! I'm watching this from the Appalachian Trail in South Central PA. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!

Hi there, I find methyl hydrate is a great fuel clean burning and easy to get a hold of. And very inexpensive. Cheers
@@BT-is4zb Thank you for the tip.Where can you find it ?
I also use denatured alky. Could just use that. Home Depot has it Thanks for watching.
I still like the Heet bottles to carry my denatured alcohol.
@@walkerone9833 Yes they work great.

I just bought a 12x10 multicam tarp he made. I had to seam seal it in the house because its so cold. I love USA made also.
multicam is really nice. Bushcraft USA was selling those. Maybe made from the same place.

I Forgot the cross bars also come with the stove- PS I still make a mean stir fry using it!
Carbon felt would make a better wick. It does not burn compared to cotton.
still eating good thanks

@@redsorgum you are correct. I tend to use an overly broad definition of denatured alcohol as any non-consumable alcohol fuel.
