Alcohol Stove

[FROG]

I have not even seen someone using one of these yet. So I am wondering is there a lot of clean up after using one. Like soot on any thing. And how stable they are to use. Also would you need a wind screen to make it work better. :confused::confused:

I have the Antigravity stove and it works great. I have not had a problem with soot. Practice at home so you will learn exactly how much fuel to use for your meals. Yes you need a windscreen for optimal performance. I really liked my old SEVA123, but the added weight was a factor for longer trips.

Denatured alcohol does not put off any soot. It is recommended to not use alcohol in the stoves because you do not get a consistent burn every time. You can use the Heet that you put in your gas tank during the winter. Use the one in the yellow bottle. You will get the same consistent burn with this every time. Alcohol still works well but because of the characteristics of what goes into it you do not get the same quality from each can you buy at the store.

interesting tip there on using Heet. Will have to give it a try. Used denatured alcohol on two thru attempts and never had any issues.
