Mini Alcohol Backpacking Stove, Lightweight Brass Spirit Burner with Aluminium Stand for Camping Hiking and Picnic

It looks sturdy for what it is. I put a very small amount of 91 percent isopropyl alcohol in it, a few tablespoons. It burned great for over 15 minutes. I used maybe 1 or 2 percent of its capacity tops. It burned very clean, no odor or visible fumes. I did not put a pot on it to check for soot build up. Would probably burn better with denatured alcohol, but honestly 91 isopropyl works fine. Just make sure you have adequate ventilation! Would, and probably will, buy again.

I got this for portable heat and cooking.I like that you don't have to empty out the alcohol fuel, but can use the screw cap with seal to have it loaded and ready to go.ALSO, this will fit inside the small Solo Stove I have!This seems like an affordable and versatile heat source for various needs.

Light weight. Compact and works

I bought this to compare against a few of the alcohol stoves I built from soda cans, so let that be known up front. I have never owned a commercially manufactured alcohol stove before, and wanted to test out a bottom of the line stove before possibly spending a little more money a titanium one or whatever.So, this comes in a nice little pouch. A+ for that. It won't get any soot on the rest of my gear when I pack it up, and any stove will soot a little bit, regardless of the liquid fuel.The tabs on the stand hold the burner loosely enough to where it will easily fall to the floor of it, which I do not want. I bent the little tabs down gently, and problem solved. It fits perfectly snug but can easily be pulled apart again. Perfect.I filled the bottom of the reservoir with enough 91% isopropyl alcohol completely cover the holes which allow it to seep into the outer chamber, and then a little bit (about 5mm worth) to start a test burn, to see if the stove would "bloom" like some reviewers seem to have a problem with. Lit the stove easily, wait for the alcohol to heat up a little bit, and I see tiny little flames begin out of the holes like they are supposed to. I put my coffee percolator on the stand, and viola... a perfect bloom of flames out of each hole. Nice.I snuffed the flame with the little snuffer cap provided. Out like a light. I filled the burner with a good bit more alcohol (sorry now that I didn't measure again how much), and begin the real test, which is how long before it with begin to perk my little 9 cup percolator. It should be noted that now that there is a lot more alcohol in the stove, it will take longer for the alcohol to heat up and the flame to fully bloom. Once the flames got to where they just began to bloom, but not fully, I placed my percolator atop the stand and it began to perk in 17 minutes, full on boiling perk at 20 minutes. Not awesome, but not bad, considering what kind of stove this is. There was at least enough alcohol let into the burner for a good 15 minutes more, so cooking a small meal for one on a small frying pan should be a cinch.Ultimately, I am happy with it, especially for the small $12 price tag. Do go ahead and get a $10 wind screen to go with it if you plan on using it outdoors, of course. I would totally recommend this stove, without a doubt, and I don't even think I'll try to upgrade to a titanium (or whatever) stove as this fits the bill nicely.How does it stack up against the homemade sodapop can stoves I've made? Well, it's just built better is all, and it can store the fuel right in the stove if needed. Mine work fine, but this is better. Hope this will help someone...

Seems as though I have been receiving all these product reviews lately. Concerning products I've ordered or have looked at ordering on the Amazon Platform. I understand the strategy behind the Marketing aspects of both the Manufacturer/Supplier and Amazon contractual agreements between all parties involved.Also, the importance of value as well concerning the manu/suppliers value to know how their customers are using their product lines.However, i personally can't understand the fuller scope; being a simple purchaser of certain products that make no relative sense to me at all. Why? a Manufacturer/Supplier really need, of any further review kickback as to certain product lines other than what they certainly already know through their own sales data collected?. Outside of Amazon's collection of Customer Data that is.it is a bit intrusive considering, this product that Amazon is asking me to review here.it's just a simple little alcohol camping stove. I have one which is still working perfectly fine. That i simply built DIY 5 years ago out of a couple of beer cans for goodness' sake. Of course, a more machined manufactured one is going to look sharper more polished up and all. of course, it is going to work as good too, unless oops! a Monday or a Friday Manu day. Had a bad seal weld...lol.All I'm conveying respectfully here is simply dial the AI in a bit better on both sides of the media collections. Thankyou Amazon

This cool little stove was much better than I figured for less than ten bucks. I tried it out with just a couple tablespoons of Grain alcohol and it quickly heated a small frying pan in minutes and my sausage was cooked fine. It has a little burner extinguisher, a tight fitting storage lid and a pot holder. It has two temperature settings, On or Off. It knocks down easily and stores in the supplied pouch. Love it.

Good and efficient for it's purpose. Easy and convenient to carry around but a bit too small. Takes too long to heat up. Also pots slide off too easily.

The media could not be loaded.  With only a few oz of rubbing alcohol this stove boiled 3 cups of water in 5 mins. The stove has enough alcohol left to burn for at least 20 mins. I’m blown away… and this gets me out of the fossil fuel realm and into a more available and cheaper accelerant. Excellent design and execution. I am seriously impressed!
