Simple "side jet design" alcohol stove built out of a couple of pop cans
For info on how to make these stoves, check out www.zenstoves.net
Simple "side jet design" alcohol stove I built out of a couple of pop cans. It has an inner wall and an open top which lets it preheat itself, allowing the fuel to heat up and vaporize. Once it gets hot enough, you simply cover the middle hole by setting a pot on top of it, then just let it burn until the water boils. It's not an exact science, but ultralight backpackers and hikers love them for doing simple chores like boiling water. They're cheap to make and easy to use, plus you can find the fuel pretty much anywhere. I use HEET, which is less than $2.00 a bottle at most gas stations, dept stores, and even some grocery stores. However, you can use denatured alcohol as well. DO NOT use rubbing alcohol.

Emergency Heat - Alcohol ... my latest project in learning - Have found the heater I want to buy!
Looking at alcohol as a fuel is my newest project. Have been researching tiny alcohol stoves used for cooking and learning about alcohol - how clean it burns. This is an example of the fuel:
Denatured Alcohol
A clean burning fuel for chafing dishes, wick-type alcohol lamps and stoves. No. 83416: Pint No. 83432: Quart No. 834G1: Gallon No. 834G5: 5 gallon.
My next project is learning how TO MAKE ALCOHOL ...

| HeatMate 5200 Portable Alcohol Heater |
| New portable alcohol heater doubles as a stove |
MotorHome, January 2009 |
| When a heater or stove fails, life can get mighty uncomfortable. The HeatMate 5200 Portable Alcohol Heater from Contoure International provides a safe source of warmth that doubles as a stove. An excellent addition to emergency provisions, the HeatMate produces 5,200 BTUs of heat. When the lid of the compact and efficient heater is removed, HeatMate transforms into a cook top that is capable of boiling a quart of water in nine minutes. The HeatMate non-pressurized canister system contains a nonflammable wick material that absorbs approximately 1-1/4 qts. of environmentally-friendly alcohol fuel. Even if turned completely upside down, its unique design prevents fuel from leaking. Extremely reliable, the HeatMate canister system eliminates the messy hoses and valves of pressurized systems, as well as the tiresome pumping, priming and pre-heating. Alcohol fuel is easily extinguished with water. Constructed of durable aluminum, the compact HeatMate measures 11-3/4" H x 11-1/2" W. With a handy carrying strap, the heater/stove weighs 5 lbs. 3 oz. The suggested retail price of the HeatMate 5200 Portable Alcohol Heater is $169.95. For more information contact InterCon Marketing, 1540 Northgate Blvd., Sarasota, FL 34234. 941-355-4488. |
