tiny 4g carbon felt stove
so small it fits inside a pocket stove
built-in felt chamber keeps the flame steady
runs 10min on just 5ml fuel and still brings 350ml to a boil

put it next to the Evernew and it looks almost toy-sized
runs 10min on 5ml fuel and still gets 350ml rolling boil
no stand, no windscreen needed
pretty solid lil stove setup tbh

so yeah
alcohol stoves aren’t something i buy anymore
it’s just fun making small parts and seeing how far i can push them

didn’t plan it, but the chimney effect made the flame stronger
even a carbon felt stove burns almost like a Trangia now
didn’t expect that tbh

used an aluminum can again
not exactly tough but stupid easy to work with
if i ever find a stainless one in the same size i’m testing it immediately

still not great against wind—hole shape and placement need a bit of tuning
but the whole thing’s like 11g total which is kinda ridiculous haha
still burns super steady tho

only 4g
burns around 7 min with 7mL — enough to boil 350 mL of water easy

can hold up to 15 mL but anything over 8 tends to go thermal runaway lol
next tweak’s probably the jet layout or height or something

the discolored one — dropped it into a campfire by accident lol
the surface got discolored and a bit rough, but funny enough, it’s actually the best performer — burn time, fuel efficiency, everything

haha you’re falling for that brilliant 90-year-old design trap

the structure, the airflow, the design—
i keep wondering how far you can push it
the flame feels kinda gentle tho

so i never cared much
but then i saw these handmade ones made from soda cans and steel soup tins—
and suddenly i can’t stop thinking about them
even while working
