T’s Side B Alcohol Stove Combo anybody try it?

Matt

Hi, This is the official video of Side B.

I have not tried it. I did visit the antigravitygear site to view the photos and saw one photo that shows the stove burning HOT, flames going up the side of the mug. the description of the stove says burns denatured alcohol ONLY. (HEET may not have enough umph to keep the flame going)I speculate the stove will never bloom under field conditions(brezzy) the flame looks weak during initial heating while the pot is on. Cold weather conditions may have an adverse effect on such a small stove. Cold pot/water combo will suck alot of heat out of it. Something to be considered.

I've got the stove. I first tried it out indoors without the windscreen and it worked very well. Then when I tried it with the supplied windscreen it worked horribly, with the flames becoming too hot, shooting up the sides of the pot and sometimes pulsing. Opening up the windscreen so there was a large gap around the pot improved it considerably (but doing this would of course result in poor wind protection). the windscreen has no holes in it so I suspected the stove needed more air. I punched a seried of holes around the windscreen and now it works pretty good.

Looks very much like a stove I made in 2007. Would probably be identical if I cut the height slightly.

I didn't market it b/c there wasn't much interest at the time.
