Alcohol Burner : The impossible mission
    #18971207 - 10/13/13 06:33 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hello everyone again !

So here is my horrible problem :

I live in europe (Netherlands) and I'm desperately trying to find an alcohol lamp on the internet (ebay / amazon / anywhere) that does the following :

1. Work
2. Isn't made out of 1 mm glass that will implode in my hands.
3. Doesn't cost a crazy price.

My problem is I either find a nice model in America that isn't available for europe delivery or shitty models or OK models with 40 euros of fees !

My question : Can anyone suggest me a place to get a decent alcohol burner in europe for a decent price (And yes 3 euros with 40 euros of fees isn't a decent price :laugh: )

My second question : I came across the angular alcohol lamps that allow different angles for different operations but i couldn't find any informations about it like what operations are used with different angles ? Is this of any use for mushroom cultivation ?

That's it :smile: Thanks for your awesome precise answers :p

Some guys use a zip lighter.  They're pretty sweet and don't heat up your room between transfers or whatever.  They also don't deposit soot the way a Bic lighter will.

try making an alcohol lamp out of a 1/2 pint mason jar. put a hole in the lid, stuff in a cotton wick with plenty of length coiled in the bottom of the jar. cover the wick in denatured alcohol or even 90% isopropol. that's it, alcohol lamp and it works great.

I definitely prefer the micro torch to the alcohol burner when it comes to syringes. Fast, precise and clean burning fuel is cheaper. Of course way back when I had bought an alcohol lamp just for the novelty. :smile:

That's a lot of different answers in a few hours !

1. Forrest : Awesome links, you are blessed with magic spores. (also I wish there would be a link that has everything because really it's like those two websites agreed on selling 50% of what's needed on one site and the 50% on the other site ! :o

2. RR : I'm confused about the zipo the same way I am about the butane flambe torch :
And an extra RR comment : After all your years of experience, are you using a zippo rather than an expensive cool golden alcohol lamp with your name engraved in it ? (i know you said "some guys" but :O

Do you just turn it on and leave it buring on the table ? Do you actually use one hand to turn it on each time you need to sterelize something ? That torch butane thing doesn't look like something I would keep on for 10 minutes ?

My personal favorite sterilizer:

http://www.sotooutdoors.com/products/item/PT-14SB.html

Basically functionally identical to a butane torch, but uses a cheap readily available cigarette lighter as a fuel pack. The down side is I need a free hand to use it, but its a decent little thing. (And im less likely to accidentally move an arm through the flame, as I have seen done with alcohol lamps/bunsen burners)

Hey, does the pocket torch always make a blue flame?
and how often do you have to replace the disposable lighter?

This. I bet this would be relatively easy.

Denatured alcohol FTW!

Yep the flame is always that blue color, and with my normal rate of usage I go through a lighter about once every two months. I could probably stretch it further if I tried, but I'm lazy. Its supposedly rated to 30 minutes continuous use per lighter, and I tend to use it in little 3-5 second intervals.

(Also the mason jar alcohol lamp is another viable idea. As long as you keep something around to extinguish it safely they work fine)
