A nice review of the FF:
Gary, the Fancee Feest is has been a well kept secret from this website. As you know, most of the readers are canister users of the most ardent type. I have not talked about it much in the past in order not to offend anyone. ;-) The Fancee Feest, in emergencies, I repeat, EMERGENCIES, can be used with most fuels. The only thing that needs to be modified on the stove to use most fuels is to reduce the height of the pot support. I have videos on my website that shows unconventional fuels being used to include kerosene and the lowly rubbing alcohol LOL.
The Fancee Feest stove came into being in the DIY form on Whiteblaze.net many, many years ago when you were just a beginner in DIY stoves.
I’ll be sure to give you free shipping on your order….Thank you for your purchase. It will be shipped tomorrow.
I will sell one to Stormin, but he has to pay International shipping. :-(
Don’t be fooled by folks using carbon felt as the wicking material…it is the worst of the worstest material to use for a wick
Ok big and bulky ;-)
These Starlyte Burners are more your size:

or maybe this one with the no spill feature, Starlyte XL3

The surface of the carbon felt is going to become fused. The fibres will eventually become deformed to a point that fuel will not easily flow through or let vapors out. I’ve experimented with it to the maximum. Minibull design sells replacement carbon fiber wicks for his stove for that reason…they deteriorate. I would never sell a stove made with carbon fibre. The loose fibers scare me, reminds me of asbestos in the fact that it can get into your lungs and not dissolve, just stays there and may cause an infection. The fibres also conduct electricity, can get into your smart phone cable ports and cause it to short out. Be careful working with carbon felt, nasty stuff. The felt was designed to resist momentary high heat as in solder and sparks from welder torches, not direct flames as occurs when fuel runs low and the edges of the flame circle attack the felt fibers. I know all about alcohol stoves and materials used in them.
The Starlyte and the XL3 to show size comparison:
Clifford, thanks for your input. As Stormin said, it’s not a good wick material. It acts as a sponge. My findings have been a small amount of fuel remains in the stoves and will evaporate inside your pot if the stove is stored inside of it. the fuel will then condense on the walls of the pot and on the items stored in the pot. If that works for Stormin and his customers…so be it
The Fancee Feest is a quality stove and will be shipped FREE if you say Roger Sent You when making your purchase.
Even if you are a canister user, you can never have too many stoves
As you see Dan, my stoves can’t contaminate the pot with fuel. Contained in a airtight,leakproof box.Stormin, it’s ok if you want to sell your stoves in my thread, just offer the viewers a “deal”
One of your photos shows you were using household type of insulation as the absorbing material. Are you now using carbon felt? You blokes across the pond make stoves that look like mine. You have learned from the best. That’s why you are here at BPL
The Fancee Feest is made in the good ole USA.
