A question about safety precautions: Since the fuel is loose (not in a canister like propane or butane, if it were to tip and spill while it was lit, the flame would spread where the fuel is. I wonder if there's a workaround for that? Of course depending on where you're operating it, it might not be an issue, but I was thinking whether the whole operation (including a pot could be set inside a fireproof/retardant container. Obviously that becomes less practical if one is travelling light, but I was thinking if in a weekend campsite, etc.

TA OutdoorsThe small holes are NOT for ventilation The small holes are the stove itself. If you had enough patience you would see the vapours of alcohol getting out from those small holes in flames. And the central big flame getting down and dissapearing. An alcohol stove doesn't work with alcohol but with alcohol vapours. You showed in this clip just the initial phase when the alcohol is pre-heated to start to form vapours. Thank you

what an exellent set up. I thought the flames were supposed to come out of the little holes when it heated up. I might get one to brew up on the beach. It looks light enough. I am at my limit weight wise and struggling to carry my gear on my worn out hips but that looks like leaving a spare lead at home or something would be a good swap. Useful video

Ive got the bushcraft essentials lf titanium hobo type stove but always keep one of these in my pack just in case, the British weather can be a real pain for finding dry material for the stove.

Hi, I've just started to look into this sort of stove. As well as methylated spirits would white spirits burn ok and are their any other fuels that could be use?

I've bought a cheap alcohol stove and didn't add the right grade alcohol. Can I throw out the alcohol and add 92 93 alcohol and hope it will light safely

Good video mate, I think you've convinced me I need a Trangia. Is it me or are you using red meths? I've only ever seen it in that washed out violet colour.
