    Thanks OKBushcraft. Have to pick some up next time I'm in town. And yeah, have to be careful about asking around for meth's on this side of the pond.

    The denatured alchohol is what I prefer. I also prefer my trangia Swede Mil Surplus stove over my homemade ones. With a double refill on the trangia I can get in excess of 20 mins cook time. Fill it up, let it sit for about 5 minutes allowing the wick in the walls to soak up the alchohol and then refill and light. Not sure if that is correct, the 1965 Swede stove did not come with any instructions. Actually it is made by Svea-another military contractor.

    put the jet holes 1 cm down the side and you can just sit the pot on the burner....with no stand......i fill mine with toilet roll during the build process so if you knock it over all the meths doesn't spill out.http://back2dabike.wordpress.com/my-...omemade-stove/
    oh well try again

    Nice. I think I'll be trying to make one of this tomorrow.
    Cuppa Joe, the instructions in that link are really good and the pictures are nice and clear. Nice one.
