Really good. Don’t know why you don’t find small things like this in good camping shops! Thanks!

I'm going to make one of these for my mini kit!
Love your channel and thank you for the video!

Nice portable mini "stove"! And quite versatile too. Just watch out for any leaks/spills with alcohol, if you're using this kind of combustible.
It could be (more) dangerous if there's no cotton filling on the inside.

Since there are mini jerry cans, you could get one to carry the alcohol

Caldera cone works well in wind and is efficient. It’s a pot support and wind shield in one cone that directs all the heat to the pot.

Really cool, do you have plans and a list of materials?

[felipebatalha]

That’s a nice take on the penny store design.

The pot stand looks a bit short for burner efficiency - what did you find? It’s limited to 3cm height to fit in the stove. Is the gap wide enough (does your pot bottom soot black )?

Being an alcohol stove one still needs a windshield as part of the setup - you could bake one from foil.
Other designs swap the pot stand for a windshield with integrated pot holders - eg xboil. I reckon this stove would work even better in an xboil wind shield.

Very cool, I like everything about it. As another comment about cost, yes more than a buck but I don’t care, I’m going to make one or more 😊.

Cute. I'm pretty sure this is somewhere around version 45 of "how to make a small alcohol stove".
I've peobably made a dozen or so. If someone learns how to make a few from "found" aluminum cans then they will be better prepared to make a small stove from whateveer they can find. (As lonh as they have a Leatherman!)

I’m quite a kid that likes some weird stuff like your anywhere match and this

What is the purpose of the small steel ball sitting in between the fire?

[antonioc.b.desouza]

What's the function of the metal ball????
