these are meant for backpacking or other situations where a campfire either isnt a timewise option OR an option at all, say youre backpacking through extreme drought conditions and there is a fireban, or its just plain dry and youre worried about starting a fire OR say youre on the run and a fire would give away your position, this is the perfect lightweight alternative.  no smoke, no mess, quick setup and cleanup. 

if you can and prefer a campfire, by all means, have a campfire.




Makes sense. How long does one of those little stoves last on a full tank 'O' fuel?? 15-20 Minutes??





the one you see in my picture, when filled to just below the fill hole(roughly 2oz) with 90% isopropyl(no need for fancy and expensive fuels like denatured alcohol) it lasts just over 25 mins.  so a little bottle of 90%($1 for 16 oz) will last you probably somewhere around 4 hours of straight cooking.

not too shabby eh?

In my penny stove, 1.5oz of fuel can burn for about 20-30 mins
Enough to boil ~8 cups of water for about 5 mintues, from like a shots worth of denatured alcohol.
With the simmer ring, about twice that long





i havent gotten around to making a suimmering ring yet, care to post a picture for us?

I can use isopropyl in mine too, it just doesn't seem to burn as well.
Denatured isn't much more expensive.. I get it for like 4.50 a quart online.

Here is said simmer ring and stove..  simmer ring is just the top of a heineken can, fits in there nice and snug

a penny :grin: that's why it's called a penny stove.. sits right in the middle over the 4 holes
you just pour the fuel on top of the penny.. it fills the indent and spills over into the outer rings and a little goes down the holes
you prime it by burning the fuel on the outer ring and as it starts to boil the excess fuel gets sucked in under the penny, it's pretty pro

Instructions.. just need 2 heineken cans and 1 regular one

Ya, many times open fires are banned in state parks for one reason or another.  These are a superb replacement for a gas cooker.

I just got back from a trip to enchanted rock and i used this alongside my friend's lightweight propane stove.  His did cook the food a minute or so faster, but mine was 60-70 dollars less and much smaller.

And i was wrong, its not just for boiling water.  I can get my food real hot, i could simmer stuff and cook brown rice.  I'm assembling an improved menu for my next trip.

You can cook pretty much anything you can with with one of those fancy, bulky, heavy expensive backpacking stoves.. except adjust the flame.. but a simmer ring accomplishes pretty much the same thing.

4 oz of fuel you can cook for several hours.. that's like 50 cents worth of fuel.
