Coffee pot boiling using ALOCS spirit stove (Outside)

Показать описание
My daughter is off to the festivals this year and Reading festival won't allow gas stoves so after a chat with a chap from Millets (or whatever they call themselves these days?) I went looking for a spirit stove or 'Alcohol Stove' which they are also called.

So here we have an ALOCS branded stove which I bought from eBay for £10 inc delivery. There are cheaper ones but I wanted the stand that came will it. It's a retractable stand for storage.

The windshield was from eBay also, cost about £5 inc. delivery. I paid a couple of extra £ because they were both UK suppliers and were delivered within a few days.

Whilst the boiling time was around 10 mins, I think this time could be halved if (a) no wind or (b) the windshield surrounded the entire stove. I have ordered a 10 plate windshield from China for £3 and I expect to see it 2-3 weeks.

Enjoy my short video. It's just a bit of fun as I'm experimenting with my GoPro Silver Hero camera and yet another little gadget us men have to have!

Equipment list:
ALOCS Spirit stove £4-£10 (without or with stand) on eBay/Amazon.
Methylated spirits (£3 for 500ml)
Coffee pot (8-£15)
Arabica coffee beans (£5 250g)
GoPro Silver (£210)
Time spent doing this video (90 mins)
Look on my daughters face when see's the last 5 seconds of this VT - worth every penny and minute spent doing this :-)
