Emergency Survival Stove

This little emergency survival stove is a must have for any survival or disaster kit. These hand made little stoves are the perfect size, weighing only 0.4 oz and have no moving parts to break or maintain. It runs on Alcohol (IPA, denatured, rubbing and other alcohols available at hardware and drug stores).

To use the emergency survival stove, you just put in a small amount of alcohol (a few ounces, or enough to cover the base). I use a small mil-spec plastic flask to carry the alcohol. Light the alcohol, which will burn with a nice blue flame. Alcohol burns at temperatures above 750 degrees F! As the stove walls heat up, they begin to vaporize the alcohol internally, and within about one minute, each of the 30 or so holes at the side will start sporting a nice blue flame jet. The effect is like cooking on a gas stove at home. A good size canteen cup of water will boil in minutes and most meals can be cooked with less than 1 oz. of alcohol.
