liquid alcohol stoves

[mark ward]

Just wondering... Anyone ever try, Caned fuels? (Regularly used to keep food hot in chafing pans?) You have all seen them, somewhere there is a banquet, ETC. 3-/12 3 inch cans with Ethanol GEL, Under the food pans. (Weddings, Motel foodbar, etc.) Just open light, and done, no extra LIQUIDS to spill etc. They last about 2.5 hrs. just put the lid back on to put out the flame. (CAUTION: If the gell getts on something it's HARD to put out., You can NOT, just "pat it out", with a cloth etc. Do NOT spill.) For starting a campfire, use a small stick and dab it in the gell, place it under your wood and light. (I would caution lighting while holding, as gell heats it runs, FLAME FOLLOWS.) $6. for 6 cans, [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Canned fuels such as Sterno, et. al., don't provide enough btu/h to be anything more than a canned soup warmer. Their output is about 2,500 btu/h, whereas a real camp stove will be 4,000 btu/h or more. The gel is great as a campfire starter. Mark

You'd be better off with the alcohol stoves pimped here to support Da Vermonster's kid in the canoe program. Those are some nice little stoves in a handy package. Kevin

Not my stoves and not my kids, but they should be supported anyway. It's Mark aka "elevengai" that is selling those to support his kids getting high on white water adrenaline. da Vermonster

I used a five buck stereo stove back packing for a very long time. Easy to use but slow. Cookeding was mainly heating chilli or water. Yes that sounds heavy for back packing but in SoCal dry back packing was normal as water is scarce. Freeze dried food was expensive lousy...not like stagg is gourmet....but when you bring you own water on your back ..adding it to make food is not a bis advantage. For ten buck hard to go wrong...

Thanks for clarifying that, Tumu. We sold out of that run of stoves, but due to their success, we just fired up a second run of 48 stoves and hope to have them available for sale in a couple weeks. 100% of the proceeds support my daughter's whitewater slalom racing efforts toward her goal of competing at the Junior Worlds in Slovenia this summer. For cold weather & windy conditions, our package includes a windscreen and a "cold weather performance kit." These have been tested in temps as low as 21 F and function great. I have some outdoor videos on youtube demonstrating cooking of udon noodle soup with dehydrated mushrooms, etc, in 41 and light drizzle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbtprADPkFo>, and one of breakfast oatmeal below freezing., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvUiADrmZ_w>. I assume that if our kit running on methanol performs this well in the cold, it will do the same at high elevations. Mark
