Yesterday I did what I thought was just a "Concept test" on a small, lightweight alcohol stove. But it seems that I must have upset a few people. I got more than a bunch of e-mails saying that I was irresponsible in presenting such a dangerous stove.
Two of the nicer things said was these two comments:
TheBeebopper made a comment on AXE Stove V1.0 Boil Test 1:
This doesn't look a viable propoposition in the real world. With? the modifications it may be suited to a single cup boil.
MrSchpankme made a comment on AXE Stove V1.0 Boil Test 1:
4-mins to warm up and 17 mins total time to boil? Hiram, these narrow tall stoves are dangers, you need to decided the max height ,and width of stove to use for safety.
So what I did this afternoon was come up with a light-weight stove with a larger base that should be easily made but just about anyone. Turns out that this stove is even lighter than the AXE can stove.
