Everything Nice wood gas stove
My first Everything Nice stove from the design on the World Stove website. - Instead of a pot, I used a rice cooker on my wood stove when I went on canoe trips. Works great for boiling water, rice, pasta, soup. Also made some excellent cakes (need to put a pie plate on top and add some charcoal to brown the top.) The coffee can is the outer can, the Campbell Chunky can was the inner can (I removed the label before the burn), and the Del Monte peach can was the riser. Followed WorldStove's favorite method and used a broken tea light candle to start it (the white chunks) The wind blew out the flame. Then tried some alcohol on a tissue. But the wind blow it out again. Finally put the rice cooker on it which acted as a wind screen and it stayed lit. The pellets glowed near the air holes in the inner can. Since the outer can is perfectly clean on the inside after the burn, the air must have entered the inside can through the hole. I haven't figured out how to make it burn in a TLOD fashion. Perhaps that will only work if the outer can is hot enough to create enough air pressure difference. Or maybe I need to punch the holes on the inside can higher up. Nearly all the pellets turned to char except for the layer of pellets at the bottom of the can. There was no ash. There was no smoke as long as there was a flame. At the end of the burn, there was lots of smoke. Part of the inner just above the holes turned blue after the burn. The outer can never lost its paint, and the paper ...

Porcupine Ultralight Adjustable Alcohol Stove
The Porcupine stove is my version of an adjustable passive air induction alcohol stove based upon designs originally devised by NCHiker1970 and TerraFirma369. Many thanks to both of these fine inventive gentlemen. I called it porcupine because it has quills and a tail The addition of aluminum tubing JB welded to the internal structure allows for the integrated pot stand. The screw holders are made from hard aluminum strips cut from wedding tin lids and are reminiscent of automobile door and dash clips. These "clips" are captured in the folds of the tooling foil band. The screw head is constrained by a release button which is normally used as a nocking point on a bow string Any small diameter flexible tubing will suffice as a substitute. The use of an artist's palette cup increases the alcohol volume to 3/4 oz as opposed to 1/2 oz tea light cups. Implements of destruction are required to remove the cups from the clip base. And no, I didn't take twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one. www.archive.org

The Pint Size BinchoCan Stove
This design is nearly the same as our Binchotan Stove that used the coffee can and terra cotta flower pot: www.youtube.com I had been trying to think of a way to make a version without the fragile flower pot and still maintain the all important concept of preheating the intake air inside of the double wall construction before it enters the combustion chamber. Receintly, Hiram Cook found a way to seat an 18 oz soup can into a quart paint can. This was the solution needed. Thank you Hiram! www.youtube.com The cans I have used are of a much smaller size here. Having the holes near the top of the paint can allows the air to flow downward inside of the double wall cunstruction super heating it before it enters the cumbustion chamber. This creates a much higher effeciency that produces more heat energy from a smaller amount of wood.
