Meths stoves........

Attachment 5575

the pop can stove I made in action which Simon is talking about. Made in the 'traditional' method. No adhesives or alu tape used all push fit. The only difference I made to the design was to drill lots of holes in the top rather than cutting out one big one. I think if you close in to the picture you can see the stove blooming out of the side jets

I am indeed !

A couple of tips for the "sigg bottle" type stoves..

1. If you make them 38mm tall, they fit in a travel sweets tin, (also found in cheap shops, Lidl have them on the checkout) for protection.

2. If the meths fails to drain into the outer wall, as in the case of the silver one, It can be remedied by using a spark plug feeler gauge, ( I think thats the name) to create a very fine gap. It does kink the gauge though. It doesn't bother me as I spend more time building D.I.Y stoves than I do re-gapping spark plugs these days.

Here's a link to my post over on BCUK for "in a nut-shell" instructions for anyone contemplating making one..

38mm not 40mm as stated in that thread.

Oh and the burn time was 3mins 17 secs for 300ml of water as opposed to the white box stove's 2.56 or whatever,

99p versus £17, Mmmm:

With the stove I made, I cut four slots in the screw end, and it drains a treat.... Not too deep, about 4mm just enough to allow drainage and to keep the pressure for the vapours....

Just looking into making a meths stove. Was going to do a pop can one but like the look of the aluminum bottle one. Anyone got a guide to making one.

I've made w.b.s. type stoves but never one from a water bottle. Do they take longer to prime because they are thicker ?

Not that I noticed..... Warmed up quite quickly...
