Title: My custom emergency stove.
Post by: Knight on Monday, October 25, 2010, 01:53:24 AM
We had a power outage yesterday, it was only for a few hours but it got me thinking. If it had been longer we wouldn't be able to cook or even boil water because our stove is electric.

So I made this.

It burns alcohol and works well enough to boil cold water in under 10 minutes. I can get 10-12 minutes of burn off 4oz of alcohol. Its pretty nifty. I'm proud of it, its my own design and it only took me 3-4 hours from thinking about making it to testing and tweaking. Its made out of the bottom of an Arizona Icetea can and the bottom of a cherry coke can.

Yep, we have this fondue stand and you just light the stove and put the pot on the stand above and you can cook with it.
