Since my more interesting alcohol stoves are already in the SRG, I thought I'd add my Handiware Picnic Stove. A simple little burner in a tin so you can boil up a kettle for a brew.
Unknown manufacturer, presumed British, quite possibly a soldier’s go-to for hot water for shaving, using brush, shaving soap and the water to create a lather. Link to SRG John
Pre-war stove of Polish manufacture Emes 2. More photos in the gallery Emes 2 and a few more from the renovation.Repair and renovation Emes2 .
We can't have an alcohol stove contest without a Punker! I have already some two-burner Punkers posted, but when rummaging through the basement, I actually found a one-burner version I haven't posted here before, so now it's in the Reference Gallery, and can be seen here.
My go-to alcohol stove, the Speedster. Great piece of kit. Action shot from the Lake Pepin Three Speed Tour. Link here. Speedster Stove
Greetings, All, Today, I'd love to show you one of my Optimus 199 stoves, setup to burn Methylated Spirits! Here is the link to my post in the Reference Gallery: Optimus 199 on Meths! Thanks for checking out this amazing little stove, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
This is my go-to stove for hiking. SportzTrek copy of a Trangia 28 The brand is Australian but the manufacture Chinese. I couldn't tell you who did the design work. It is based on the Trangia 28 but isn't an exact copy. The small changes are helpful imho: cleaner pot design, simmer ring handle, solid grips that locate the burner/stand when packed.
