When I first saw this little stove I thought it was just another alcohol stove that was small and lightweight. I have an old brass alcohol stove that usually took 10 to 12 minutes to boil water. I was expecting the same performance but in a smaller lighter package. This little stove primes very quickly and actually makes noise like a canister stove and I've been able to boil water around five minutes at sea level. I am so impressed with the performance and minimal weight I ordered another stove for another set of gear I am putting together.
I bought this to replace the solo stove Trangia style. This stove blooms hotter, and much easier to extinguish flame. Just cut off oxygen once done cooking by covering with something flat (I use my windscreen). Any unused fuel is easily poured back to your bottle. I really enjoy using this stove. To u ounce counters, it’s impressive!!
This is by far my favorite alcohol stove. It is so simple with mo extra parts, it couldn't be easier to use, it boils water quickly, and it's even easy to pour any excess alcohol back into a storage bottle without spilling it. An all-around great stove that I find real joy in using
I was really surprised with this little stove. It works great, it's efficient and it's super light. I have quite a few alcohol stoves and this one preforms the best, hands down.
This alcohol burner is incredibly light, and well built. It is a burner, not a stove, and requires a pot stand.
Most underrated alcohol stove I know of. Light, strong, stupid easy to use, narrow flame, instant bloom, use any amount of fuel.
Boiled 2 cups of ice cold water in 7 minutes at sea level and ambient room temp with no wind. 1 fl oz of fuel burned for 9 minutes at room temp.
I bought this burner along with the Toaks TI stand. The burner works great, gets quite hot fast...enough to weaken the titanium pot stand supports. It's fun to watch it work. I've used it with several different pot stands and holders. If you just have to spend $35 on an alcohol burner (I used my dividend) this is the burner you want to get.
First off alcohol stoves do have their limitations so do your homework and if you think alcohol will work for you this stove is so small, so light and so simple it is fabulous!
I have this product and the Toaks Ti stand that you need to use this, which is sold separately elsewhere. This thing technically works, but is impractical to the point of useless. Any breath of wind will greatly increase boil time and thus fuel consumption. If you bring a small sealable plastic bottle of fuel, which is as much as you would want to bring if UL and size is your concern, then you might get 2 boils of 2 cups in real world conditions. So, an overnight. Dinner, breakfast and coffee. Beyond that, you're bringing more fuel, in which case you might as well bring a typical bombproof flamethrower of a backpacking stove/gas canister kit that boils in 2 mins and will burn for 100 mins.
