Build a Small Round Tin Alcohol Burner 

Thank You.

I just posted a video on making a Altoids Tin Stove: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SzYIs4LjJX8.html Enjoy 🙂

​@@planetsideagent Thanks.

Thanks 🙂

Im confused... i thought this was an alcohol burner... Whats it got to do with wee wee ? 🤔

that’s an incredible deal! I never thought about trying party city. The best deal I found so far was at my local Home Hardware store; A person can get a three pack for somewhere between 10 and $12. $35 for the gallon can of refill. That’s some thing I’m gonna check out today. Thanks again!

Interesting, I'll give it a try. I have another suggestion from viewer, I plan on doing a video for both.

I dismantled a dollar tree strainer that had metal mesh.

Same fuel, same air flow, same temperature. Might be some air flow difference - you'd be hard put to measure it.

interesting. I've seen round tin builds where they roll up a fire rope and the Fancy Feast stove has the wick upright and it boils very fast. I'm going to make one your way and do some boil test comparisons. I'll make a video but not until fall, after the yard, garden and house projects season is over. 🙂

True. 🙂 You did give me an idea for a video, The performance difference between No wick, just a wick and wick with screen.

I'm not sure, they do shrike over time but I think they would last a good while. I've never used any of my stoves long enough to find out.

I seen it where ceramic wool is used. Also, there a new burner sold in Europe (X-BOIL) where they use graphite sponge. @@planetsideagent

I'm not sure what size mesh I used, I came in a soldering iron kit which didn't say. I suggest the finer the better, even window/door screen would work. I have a couple of antique burners that use a mesh that is thin. The mesh keeps the carbon felt or wick material from falling out. It may improve the burn but I'll have to do some more research and testing.

Fieltro de carbono, los fontaneros lo utilizan como escudo térmico.

Lo siento, la pantalla es una malla de alambre de acero inoxidable. cualquier malla de alambre funcionará

Tela de aço, não vai achar isso fácil e barato aqui na "Banas'lândia". A alternativa econômica é comprar uma peneira para cozinha fina e recortar, mas essa tela não é realmente necessário, é mais para manter tudo no lugar. Eu faço como os Japoneses, uso Bombril, depois da primeira queima a superfície do Bombril fica dura emantem o formato. Outra alternativa como absorvente é Perlite - rocha vulcânica absorvente que compra em lojas de plantas; e para manter no lugar uso uma camada de Bombril por cima, ou a tela de aço. Pode usar também aqueles discos de algodão para limpeza de maquiagem, com o Bombril por cima, que evita do algodão queimar e se quiser a tela de aço. Pode fazer um fogareiro tipo Fancy Feast (o que os gringos e BR's chamam de "melhor do mundo) sem usar feltro de carbono, lã de cerâmica, tecido de fibra de vidro... pano, papel toalha... para o pavio. Arrume duas latas de diâmetro próximo, e para preencher o espaço entre as duas latas use tiras de lata de refrigerante com vincos verticais espaçados ~ 1 cm, isso vai criar capilaridade e funcionar como pavio, igual nos CHS do Tektobas. Vantagem, se sobrar álcool depois de usar pode despejar de volta na garrafa, o que não pode fazer se user pavio de material absorvente, pois álcool fica embebido no pavio, e no caso de usar Etanol ao evaporar vai deixar agua no pavio, dificultando acender da próxima vez.

I've watched a lot of videos where they use fire rope. I have carbon felt laying around from my Fancy Feast stove builds and I like the looks of the steel mesh. 🙂

That’s a great idea for the fire rope. Do you have any idea if the fire rope help to absorb the alcohol, thus making it harder to leak out if on uneven ground, etc?

@@BingWatcher it might as long as you don't overfill the burner.

Other than the spilling/fire potential I'm not sure. My gut say's it won't be as efficient but that is a good question. I'm going to do a test with no felt, felt and felt with mesh. Should be interesting. Another commenter suggesting spiraling the felt instead of pucks. That's another test on my list. Stayed tuned 🙂

Nether, they don't burn as efficiently and can smoke. I use Yellow bottled HEAT, and I've also used denatured alcohol. Around here HEAT is cheaper than denatured alcohol. This is a good video comparing different alcohols. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mt69fbNhCgs.htmlsi=wPVKDvWEhxKV6ewP.

@@planetsideagent I have used isopropyl alcohol in a pinch. But they are difficult to light when the ambient temperature drops close to freezing temperature. Great video

Funny, I’m experiencing that Heet isn’t as hot as iso. Heet is harder to light too. I would be at all surprised if the Heet product varies a lot.

Interesting, I'll have to play around with it.

@@E_Clampus_Vitus Did you use the methanol version (yellow bottle)?

A cat can stove is faster and more efficient. The only downside is that you can't snuff it and store any unused fuel.

I have one of those as well. I thought it would be smart to take an extra can (it didn't add much weight) and use it as a lid to snuff out the flames. Nope, it just shot through the cracks. Hah! I still like it a lot though.
