.....As for the Vulcan stove - you get a biomass/alcohol stove, alu bottle and mug for a price of about a fiver - max a tenner. That's a good buy as far as I'm concerned.
I've heard about those, but didn't think you could still get them...
are they any good? (and do they live up to their name? )
Yes they are good simple and effective and quite small and portable in real life the images are close ups and make it look bigger. runs on petrol or coleman white fuel so easily obtained but issues with storing/smell still made( i think i have an address somewhere) but its a handmade item from a small business with no net presence so youd have to order by traditional means in german presumably.They turn up on occasion on ebay search terms borde, bombe, or benzin kocher. They seem popular with bikers cos you have the fuel with you. there is s guy who seems to ?import them and sell on ebay occasionally the other stuff he sells is all bike related.
by the way there is a safety valve incorporated in the end you fill at so despite being a pressurised petrol stove there is no real threat of the bombe becoming a bomb!
the safety valve worries me...... when it releases, surely it's going to be letting out fuel and / or fuel vapour ... not such a problem on a paraffin stove but disastrous with a petrol one ??!!by the way there is a safety valve incorporated in the end you fill at so despite being a pressurised petrol stove there is no real threat of the bombe becoming a bomb!
3) The bottle has a cork rather than a screw top

......But do you know the best way to boil a cup of water? Just put a cup of cold water next to your screen and start a thread about the merits of a JetBoil. You'll have a hot brew in no time.
