Making Coil Pipe Alcohol Stove

i would use a metal container (like a paint bucket) instead of a glass jar. I'm not sure if I'm right, but since the coil is made of copper, which is a very good heat conductor, the lid could quickly heat up and the jar could shatter. there would also be boiling or very hot alcohol inside (because of the ends of the coil are in contact with the alcohol) + alcohol fumes. I'm no expert, but that doesn't sound like a good thing to me... anyway if you think this is a stupid comment, just ignore it.

no offense but this seems to big and bulky so i think it is realy immpracticle and complicated to make unlike the pop(pepsi)can stove .......:\

I will try to make mini one.

I've not seen this design before. Very interesting! It looks like the most efficient home made stove I've seen so far. A bit bulky for a serious hiker but it would be great for home when the power and gas go out from disasters.

excellent! i think i will make one of those when i get bored.

I agree that jet's size is important. Jet's size i my stove is aprox. 1mm (I made it by thumb tack). But I think that it depends also on quality of alcohol, there for I am trying to make adjustable jet size like on video "Adjustable flame coil pipe stove" in order to be able to use different quality fuel including white gas.

Lebammabel, can I ask how big the size of the fuel jet holes are? Are they around 1mm diameter? I have to ask this sorry as the hole size is quite impartant right?

I suppose song is "Green River", album "Clearwater Revival" and band CREEDANCE.

NICE

nice! whats the name of the song ??

And bending of tube also could be difficult with wick inside.

Just up each leg to where the coil starts. Otherwise it'll be difficult to adjust wick size.

Does the wick extend through the entire pipe, or just up each leg to where the coil starts?

Thanks

BTW on market you can find this type factory- made glass alcohol burners. I've noticed that this small one even doesn't have enough heat to vaporise alcohol in comparatively cold weather (approx. +5 +10 degrees Celsius).

Glass is fragile it's true, but you can use metal jar. I already found metal one and sometime I'll try to use it. But I haven't had any problems with glass jar. It is quite heat resistant, you can poor in it boiling water and it is ok. Burner's jar doesn't reach so high temperature in burning process. As you can sea I hold it in hand. And if the pressure is too high it will simply blow off the fire(read written text).

I would be very concerned about the glass shattering from heat or pressure or both.
