I have been making a few Alcohol stoves of late and have with one of them managed to get a pint to a rolling boil in just under 3 minutes using 1 ounce(28ml) of Meths. I don't feel I can get much better with a Airgun pellet tin design and was wanting to try a pressurized design with the copper pipe loops that I see on Youtube.
Has anyone made a stove of this type and if so how do they compare to the basic pop can stove in terms of boil time, they look hot but I'm unsure? I know they make more noise though!
One down-side of these stoves is their height what with the copper loops so I was thinking.... instead of putting the loops above the fuel reservoir, could they be placed inside a donut shaped fuel tank so the top of the loops are level with the fuel tank?
Was just wondering if this would work before I spend a Saturday making one. I've not seen this donut design before and I have done a lot of Youtube looking!!
