I think how big the center flame is means nothing when there is a pot on the stove. Do the test with a pot on and I believe you will see the jets on the wick stove have bigger flames and a faster boil time than the other stove. Plus the all-around biggest advantage with carbon wick stoves is their ability to light in freezing temps. How it works when you actually use it as a stove, its boil times, and how it performs in cold temps are the tests that matter. IMO

I agree with you, Terry. I do have the follow-up video to this one, but I didn't test boil times or cold temp use. I think those deserve another video and more experiments. Thanks for the ideas!

Ok, ow Im really confused because you said in another comment you dont use this anymore but this is your latest video here on stoves ? Plus, Im wondering why you dont use a fancee feast type. I thought those also worked better in cold weather with no bloom time!
@timcanthejigman79322 ай бұрын
I don't recall the comment you're referring to but this is the only type of stove I use. I may have been saying that I don't use carbon felt anymore. I don't do fancy feast stoves because they don't appeal to my aesthetic sense and I don't have a cat.
@JediStockTrader2 ай бұрын
Can you place some carbon felt or insulation inside some how to prevent spills ? If so , can you just add some inside on the bottom or does it have to be inside the outer wall?
@timcanthejigman79322 ай бұрын
Hey Jedi, I would put carbon felt around the inside perimeter of the stove before I assembled the pieces together. To be clear, I don't use it myself anymore. I don't think there is enough benefit to be had that outweighs the additional difficulty of using it. I did see your comment on the other video. I haven't experimented with carbon felt for a few years now. You have good questions. It sounds like you may want to pick up where I left off. Thanks!

Galvinize melts at 900 degrees F and criticle temp of galvinize is 1600degrees F for the zinc to vaporize combining with o2 to form zinc oxide. Perfectly safe to use in a hot tent as long as you are not welding it in there. I'm am retired welder with 30+ years of experience and have welded galvinize having training to do so. No galvinize stove pipe on a ammo can heater will ever reach the melting point of galvinize.

Hey man, you're welcome. The inner sleeve provides a chamber where the alcohol heats up, turns to gas and mixes with oxygen when it's forced out the combustion holes as flames. It should be a pretty bullet proof design if done the way I show.

I saw a video of a guy who filled the alcohol stove with Perlite which can be found in the garden section then add alcohol and light. I bought the perlite not made by miracle grow because I thought maybe it had added ingredients. Perlite is almost weightless and does not burn. It was better than just straight burning alcohol with nothing in the stove. I haven’t tested burn times with and without perlite

It's amazing to see how popular the concept of the "mini alcohol stove" has become in the Information Age. When I was first introduced to the concept, it was from the perspective of emergenicies, or survival. When I was taught to make what we called a "Penny Stove," it was made using the barest of primitive tools. Namely, nothing but a pocket knife, a 12 oz can, and I think the alcohol came from either an emergency medical kit, or from a bottle of high proof liquor. I would never have thought to use a dremmel or other precision hand tools. Same with Rocket Stoves and Heaters. But now Im curious to start projects like this on a work bench instead of the campsite. Creativity is a very cool thing now that Im older.

I was scrolling through my feed several years ago and one of those videos popped up. I thought, "Hm, that would be useful to take backpacking." I never was happy with the rough result and figured I could make a bettter one with some jigs in my shop. I thought that if I was going to make one, I was going to make the best one I could make. A lot of trial and error later, here we are. Thanks for the comments!

I think the carbon fiber stove shows that carbon fiber does a poorer job of wicking fuel and because of that, more fuel burns from the bowl than from the tip of the wick. When the bowl is empty, it continues to burn the little bit of fuel that did go up the wick. However, with that said, it would be interesting to see what would happen if you blocked the bowl completely so it couldn't burn fuel from the bowl and could only burn from the top of the wick. 1) Would the carbon fiber burn longer? 2) Would it be hotter or cooler or the same as the unmodified stove? Seems to me, using carbon fiber might cause the stove to burn slower, and a bit cooler.
@charleswalter29026 ай бұрын
Unless the heat output is measured for each stove is tested , it is impossible to know which will boil water quicker, which is what is really important. If the carbon felt boils 500ml. of water in 3 minutes & the standard takes 6.5 minutes which is more efficient? That's what's important.

I can see you haven't been making videos for awhile but I just have to say that your stove builds are fantastic. I was kind of looking for an alcohol stove that didn't have to have the pot directly on it or maybe make a groove type because it looked easy to make. But after seeing your demonstrations I'm going to make your mini can stove. My cook set looks just like yours and you explain it all so well I'll be able to easily do it. It's about time for some Winter projects anyway. I'll probably make a few to get the hang of it and might even make a lathe chuck from a piece of scrap wood for polishing in my metal lathe. I always need an excuse to use it anyway. You're a smart cookie. Thanks for your videos.

Hey emerycreek, I silll check in once in a while to respond to messages. I appreciate you taking the time to write. After making a dozen different types of stoves, I've landed on this design exclusively. Not just because I can churn them out quickly with the jigs but the design is just bulletproof. I usuallly take the mini can one and one of the Foster's ones with me on overnights. The bigger Fosters can handles a skillet while the mini on takes care of my hot tea. I look forward to hearing how your jam chuck comes out.
