Liquid fuel stove

 

On Polish version I was posting my tries for making DYI stove just for fun.

Looks that I got ultimate version – you will be surprised at the end of this post.

Started about two years ago with creating wood gas stove out of two tin cans.
Construction can be found on youtube. Or by searching Google with "DIY woodgas stove".

Waste of time – when reasonable – too bulky too take it, when small – not working on found fuel.

Second attempt was to create liquid based stove,

Effects – zero to none – water was not boiled.

Third attempt – wood gas again – I came to an idea that air can flow within central kind of pillar instead double walls.

Too much smoke and totally ineffective on wet wood.

AT THE END

I found ultimate DIY stove, for the time when we are at the other site of the ocean, there is no proper gas bottle standard  for our stove.

Receipt is easy:

1. Take one soda can.

2. Remove top with a knife

3. make holes near the top – as many as you want, they shouldn't be too small.

4. make holes in the middle – as above

5. fill it with liquid fuel (any) till those middle holes.

6. Put your pot/mug directly on soda can.

7. Ignite though holes in the middle

Works perfectly.
