Another Perlite Alcohol Burner! 

I used fiberglass housing insulation in my diy stoves. Works incredibly well.

God I'm glad I'm not the only idiot that reuses all of the plastic bags and paper in my cooksets 😂 my daughter says I'm just too anal about my kits. I do like the thought of perlite in the Esbit 1100ml cookset. I was thinking about buying two of the small rectangular alcohol burners with the sliding lids so that I could have contact across the whole bottom, but the perlite in an Altoids tin looks like a good match, especially by unhinging the lid.

Morning Brother John, fine video Sir. I have made several puck burners, and they work well. My cook set is a red Sterno square fry pan and its red square stove [I don't know if this set is made anymore]. I use a small rectangular tin filled with carbon felt as a burner and denatured alcohol, and I can cook a full meal. Even have enough time to heat my wash water before the flames die out. Sure enjoyed visiting with you today. Am looking forward to seeing your next video. Blessings, David.

Your gelled alcohol and perlite alcohol burner ideas are WIZARD! The rectangular cook set is also first-rate.

I used IPA 99% (bought for de-icing and cleaning) to test my Ohuhu stove at home with marshmallows. I used about 2-3 teaspoons and it produced a large orange flame that only lasted 2,5 minutes. Couldn’t use it for the mm, so I used a candle instead. Does the perlite or gel prolong the burntime, or should I use bio-ethanol or a lower % IPA? I intend to go on a my first camping vacation and use the stove to prepare a meal. So I think I need a longer burntime. We don’t have Altoids in the Netherlands, but Amazon sells similar tins (round and rectangular). Does the material matter? Can you help me? Thanks! I really enjoy these videos, some binge watch Netflix, I prefer this! 😂

I know that it's 1 million years later, but whay not Vermiculite but Perlite? Vermiculite, has the capacity of retaining water and triple the volum, so...the capacity to absorbe the alcohol and release slowly. Thank!!!

Interesting option. With my Esbit Solid Fuel Stove and Cook Set, I tried a tea candle cup with alcohol in it. Boils 1 cup of water ok. With my Trangia T28 Mini I switched burners to a Vargo Decagon Ti alcohol stove & added a Vargo mini folding windscreen after seeing a blog called ^strange pairings^ A better set up now. The British have made hexamine solid fuel illegal. The perlite or carbon felt type alcohol stoves is an option to try. Trangia alcohol burners have a wick between the walls. Thank you for sharing a very interesting option.👍

Have you also tried to do the same way with Vermiculite? Shouldn't it perform better because it has better absorption properties?

Thanks for another great vid. I have a question for you, if you have the time. If push came to shove, could 70% alcohol be used with a perlite stove?

Where did you find your containers. Ty

So.............Other than content for this video is there really any significant advantage to Perlite Alcohol.

Looks like a nice setup.

I do not have those Esbit sets. I do have the smaller Esbit solid fuel set. I did the same thing with some tins I found that fit inside. Can user either gel or pearlite. Works good. Good video. Thanks.

hydroscopic?

Maybe mention where you got those cans; or, everybody can just duplicate the effort.

I like Perlite Stoves, I also have the Trangia alcohol burner.

I got my bag of perlite in case I needed to supplement my heat this weekend. But it made me wonder... I saw the 'pill bottle stove' that uses stone 'tablets' soaked in alcohol. Could I use a pumice stone in that manner? Thoughts would be great. Thanks!

Glad I found your channel,I like the camouflage content and survival gear. I prefer to eat off the campfire but always try to have multiple methods to cook incase. The info on Fuels was helpful. I use those tins for cotton fire tabs.

Luv your vids. Been searching for the round cook set you show here. What brand name and where might I fine it? Thanks.

Are you located in Ohio? Your voice/accent remind me a LOT of Dave Canterbury. Great video, btw.

The new system is called the BCB Crusader Mk ll Fire Dragon, there’s also a pouch in British Multicam that can hold the entire kit. I have the Stove, US Army Canteen Cup, and Stove, Nalgene Canteen, Pathfinder Canteen Cup Lid, and Esbit Alcohol Burner. It’s a tight fit, but it all fits in the pouch.

Just to experiment I wonder what would happen if you mixed the perlite with the gelled alcohol. Would it absorb the alcohol and get an longer burn time?

Is that a 4oz time you use or less?

I was almost late for work watching this! Always riveted. Benson had a million questions about perlite that we had to pause and answer. Another great one Brother!

Thanks John; I really like these Esbit kits, but like you prefer to use alcohol rather than the Hexamine cubes.

Would adding perlite to the trangia burner do anything useful?

Please get to the point you keep on going back to the beginning

Can i use organic cat litter in place of perlite

great video and channel
