Phew!!!! thought you were a gonnerAnalogReigns wrote:No no, I'm here, just a busy week, that's all. THANK YOU Zelph for your welcome, and for link to the vid. When I'm able to take the time, I'll work on building my own stove, and post my results here. You guys all seem great!
I'm going to be using this stove this spring. I just came back to this thread to reminisce over good timeszelph wrote:Yes, as soon as a pot is placed on the support the amount of air passing through the fuel is decreased. I may ad an additional 1/2 inch to the height of this stove to eliminate some of the smoke produced. Even though I did not use a windscreen, the stove still got the boil of 2 cups of water. One batch of fuel burned with flame for approximately 15 min. The video is split into 2 parts to see it in it's entirety. The stove is only 3 3/4" x 4" in size. The area that contains the fuel is 2" x 3 3/4"(does not include the area for the paper starter)Ridgerunner wrote:DIY stoves seem to always burn differently with a pot on them. It is nice to watch the stove flame but all test should be conducted under the load of a water filled pot. AND different pots will effect stove performance. It is like matching ammunition to guns. The right combination is important for peak performance.
Woohoo, spring!Ridgerunner wrote:Watching the vids make one excited to know spring is right around the corner
