alcohol stove trouble
    #14505392 - 05/24/11 04:41 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

so i bought this penny stove and it boils but I literally have to use 1/8th cup of HEET (methanol fuel) to get it going... and it barely boils 1 cup. the pot i'm using is kind of a piece of crap, you know the one you buy in a set for $20 from the store. could it be the pot thats preventing me from getting a nice boil?

Could be.. what's the pot made of? That's definitely way too much fuel for such a small boil. My penny stove can boil a pot of 2 cups or so of water with very little fuel.. not sure on exacts but maybe an ounce. I use a titanium pot. Also what's your altitude like as that can play a role? Also are you using a windbreaker of anykind?

I think its aluminum. I use a coke can shell that came with the stove to break the wind. Got any titanium pots u can recommend? Sorry if this post is scrambled I'm typing from my phone.

as far as altitude is concerned... I'm in oregon so its not too high or low. The pot is a piece of shit. Couldn't tell u what its made of.. whatever the crap stuff is made of I presume.
