First Time Using An Alcohol Stove

[@outdoorinitiative]

the wind screen and lid are a must! thanks for watching!

[@Mountainwalker64]

Watch out... Cooking with alcohol stove can become a addiction. I am glad that you and your son are out camping, it is a great way to spend time together.

Couple of tips: Dip a twig in fuel, light with Bic & then light the stove(s). Cover pots with something to get faster boil. Foil, metal dinner plate, etc. Windscreen slightly larger than stove to direct/keep heat under pot. Making memories with your son. Priceless!

Yes lids & windscreens will help out lots. Great video Outdoor Initiative.

Looks like so much fun! I made that stove on your left and move didn't work out that well. Rooster is an awesome kid. Great costar.

[@outdoorinitiative]

yeah he's a kick! this was our first father/son camp out and he did great. Actually woke up early enough to get him to school!

[@outdoorinitiative]

totally right Chad! it was my first time using an alcohol stove so lessoned learned. But great night with Rooster!

[@craigcsu07]

Still learning the stoves myself, thanks for sharing

[@LukeMorry]

Great times with the boy :) Love the vids and keep them coming.............................I got my benchmade 556 back today :D 6weeks and more air miles than I've ever travelled but its home ;) lol I look forward to the next one, be safe and God Bless

Great job Jake my first time using them was very similar.lol I forgot to mention that wind screens are very important on these types of stoves. 1oz of fuel should boil 16oz of water in under 8 min.Just dont fill above the jets(holes) in the stove. But I'm with Rooster That fire looked awesome! LOL I have boiled gallons of water out of sheer bordem...practice makes perfect. The fancy Feast stove is the one Andrew Skurka used on his expeditions.Its pretty good once you get the hang of it! Later!

[@booly5]

they are a bit tricky to get used to my first time was a complete fail you did much better then me great vid guys

[@outdoorinitiative]

yeah thanks Gary! I was a noob but i think i got the hang of it now!

[@Shanecoffeyoutdoors]

Sometimes our gear testing just doesn't work out the way we want it to. I use the Pepsi alcohol stove from time to time and I love it. My first time testing it out on my porch sucked though, no lid, no windscreen and I used a makeup fluid alcohol. I prefer the HEET myself. Good video anyway mt

[@outdoorinitiative]

yeah i'm going to have to get wind screens if i plan on using them farther away from home. Thanks Tom!

[@alteredbeast9052]

a nice fire beats whatevers on tv any day

[@outdoorinitiative]

luke i'm so glad you got your knife back dude!

[@outdoorinitiative]

Absolutely, but it was a good learning experience!

[@outdoorinitiative]

Thanks Ken!!

[@ALSAFINA11]

Fabulous

[@outdoorinitiative]

Thank you!

[@TheTnstick]

smaller pots, lids and wind screens and you will be good to go . make a stove out of two bottoms of coke cans works great

[@outdoorinitiative]

yeah the twig tip is priceless as well! i burned my finger more than once on this trip!

[@outdoorinitiative]

you are correct!

[@martinez1077]

A for u both yes wind screens and lids help but if you remember denatured alcohol works awesome do to the bottle of heat here in river bank can runs 3 to 4$ it is cheaper for the denatured at home depot or lows for 7$

Kyle fro Iowa!!!

[@outdoorinitiative]

it was a fun night, first father son overnighter. trying to get rooster into camping without knowing I'm trying.

[@rxburnkyle]

bust out that swiss army flask/pot set with that stove, that would be a nice pairing bra!

[@1allspub]

Way to stick with it and get that chicken teryaki cooked! :)

[@outdoorinitiative]

Yeah it seems like with some practice a guy could get pretty good with it.

[@outdoorinitiative]

yeah thanks Gary! I was a noob but i think i got the hang of it now!
