Alcohol Camp Stove

Buddy Dan fabricated an alcohol stove out of nested aluminum cans. Just add alcohol to the middle and light it and within a 30 seconds, the heated center causes the alcohol to vaporize and begins to burn just like a gas stove in your kitchen. So cool! First picture is of the stove, actually lit, but you can't see the flame with the light of the flash. You can see the side burner holes. And the second pic shows the flame pattern in the dark... this baby throws out some significant heat!
All in preparation for our Delaware River Expedition.

Love these stoves. I own several and use them for tea. I watch Tinny from Maine on YouTube daily.... The king of alcohol stoves. YouTube search mini bull designs.
