I will vouch for the difficulty in finding bona fide denatured alcohol. I usually just give up and us either 90% isopropyl alcohol or just pure...
Is it #1 or #2 diesel?
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your co-main event -- tonight, facing off in the blue corner, weighing at just under 1 lb, fighting out of Sweden...
Part of it is the camera. It is a 9 year old digital camera that has been dropped at the beach one too many times. So it looks a bit more orange...
My Kovea adapter arrived from Korea today. This time, I had fire retardant gloves, an extinguisher ready. No kidding on that either. I also...
[media] Youtube Video of it So I made some diesel from canola oil. It went okay. Not as easy as I thought. Had a lot of issues with the first...
I like this theory. I'd not even considered that at all. Indeed, as the pot contents heat up, the smell is significantly diminished. On a normal...
I don't think that fully explains it, though it did smell worse initially. The smell varies depending on the fuel (kerosene is the worst), and I...
The radiator part of the pot rests on the supports so the pot bottom sits about 3/4" higher than the supports. It has something do to with the...
It seems to be a bit of an American obsession, but if you really want something simple, solid, and lightweight, try an alcohol stove. This is a...
Picked this up off eBay a few days ago. It was sold as a "heat polymerize pot" which sounds like a translation gone wrong from a mainland China...
I picked up a Chinese clone of the Primus Eta pots. I'll snap some photos for a parrafinallia page, but in the meantime, here's the penny gallery...
Found this post too late. I picked up one of the Plus2City butane adapters. It was a total piece of crap. Not only did it leak, it caused a fire...
My interpretation of the Soto stuff about the unleaded thing is this: while most stove manufactuers say you *can* run unleaded, they don't...
Interesting stove. I did a bit of reading about what makes this stove unique. My first impression, not knowing much about it was, hmm, yet another...
I have those same matches at home. They are sold as "strike anywhere". However, the box should read, "Strike Anywhere Except on this crappy little...
Wow! Fantastic journey. It's like a modern day spice road adventure.
I was curious about this too, and did a bit of reading. Apparently methyl alcohol has a potential detrimental effect on gaskets and seals. I wear...
If you are scoring this at home, put Itchy on the board with +1. This was solved by raising the flame diffuser ever so slightly. I pulled the...
Well, it has a faint tan color. Supposedly K-1 kero from a pump, but I bought it at a rental shop where turnover on their kerosene could be a bit...
Separate names with a comma.
