I know there are lots of "emergency" stove designs out there, but I thought this was pretty neat and simple. I imagine that you could use cotton and alcohol instead of insulation and HEET.

Cotton burns. Insulation is fiberglass
Aren't wicks in candles made of cotton? I assumed so, maybe not.
I wish they were made of bacon instead.Quote:

Alcohol doesn't work well. Lighter fluid works well. DO NOT USE WHITE GAS. I had a long post of this, but it may have been lost over the years.
They are and they are single use. If you made the stove with cotton it would also be single use.Quote:

Picked up a Crossman pellet pistol for that very same reason. That and some poison liberally spread under the house seems to be curing the problem.Quote:

I bought the titanium version of this and have used it a couple times while camping. Works good for boiling water and quick eggs but not much else
