This test I used a combination of wood chips, like those used in pet beds, and wood pellets. Wow, what a flame I got from this.

Here is another test where I took my basic stove but added a fan. This is the 2nd test because the first time I used 12 volts on the fan which then supplied so much air that the stove got red hot on the top. So hot that it burned away the J-B Weld that I used. BTW the fan itself did not get hot from the stove because it blows away the heat.

Watch for my buddy Max the Ham when I test the TH20 outside in the dark.
My feelings on the ThruNite TH20 Headlamp:
I really like this headlamp. With it's lighter weight and using smaller, lighter batteries this will be great in my daypack. Plus it's bright enough to work as a camera light. I won't be giving up on my TH10 but where weight is an issue the TH20 comes out on top.
Here are the links I mentioned in the video:

Dirk Stabins commented, "That watch is almost big enough to make your bear paws look petite, is that one with a tactical flashlight built in?"
In this video I explain that it's a Live-View Remote (RM-LVR1) for my Sony HDR-AS100VR camera. It's basically a device that lets me monitor and control the camera remotely.
I use it when I do videos outside to make sure that I am in frame. I can also use it to start and stop recording if I don't actually have the camera in my hand.
So please bare with me and understand that I'm not checking the time like I have a bus to catch but rather making sure that what I'm showing you in frame.
I thank those that emailed me their questions,
I thank Dirk Stabins for his comment,
And I thank you for watching my videos,

What I did was I had the Goal Zero Guide 10 Recharger/Battery Pack hooked up to a Goal Zero Nomad 7 Portable Solar Panel and let it charge in bright sun for 4 hours. I used 4 Eneloop AA rechargeable batteries in the Goal Zero Guide 10.
Then I hooked up the Power Practical Luminoodle to the Goal Zero Guide 10 and ran it until it went out. This took about 2 hours and 41 minutes.
Today I hooked up the Goal Zero Guide 10 to the Goal Zero Nomad 7 Portable Solar Panel and put it out in the sun. Problem that came up was that a big thunderstorm rolled in at about 2 hours and 50 some minutes and that's where this video starts. Sorry the video seems a little weird but I was trying to beat the storm and I just barely did.

rowdy rowdyfisk asked, "Will USB on the BioLite Stove charge 18650's?"
Colorado Clyde asked, "What about Power Practical's own power pot??"
Coolerking's Outdoor Adventures replied, "
The thing with the power pot is that you have to keep boiling water in the pot as well as using fuel, where as the biolite, you just need to fuel the fire, and we all like fire"
Sorry about the noise you hear in the video. It was the fan on the BioLite Stove. I didn't realize it would show up so loud on the camera.
Thank you, rowdy rowdyfisk and Colorado Clyde, for your questions,

Anyway the StoveTec Firefly Lantern is suppose to work with almost all bio-mass fuels and since I did those other videos I've had a number of people ask me to do another test. One using cow patties as fuel.
For those of you that aren't familiar with "cow patties", that's the stuff that comes out the southern end of a north-bound cow.
So pardon me for saying this, but I'm going to make one of the crappiest videos I've ever done.
In this video I want to see how much the cow patty fuel smokes. If it's to bad I guess there's no need to do a "lantern" test tonight.
I hope this helps the people that asked for this,
And thank you for watching my videos,
Hiram

I got a comment of that video where MrRPM110 suggested, "Let the stove warm up a bit before putting the pot on"?
So in this video I let the stove get a good flame before I start the test to see if it matters.
Thank you, MrRPM110, fr your suggestion,
And thank you for watching my videos,

In this video I try it out and found that it really works great and is easy to make.
Thank you, lweaver99, for making a great pot stand for the Trangia, and for sharing your simmer ring idea.
And thank you for watching my videos,
Hiram
Hi Hiram;
I've been thinking about you, and yes, I have seen the video. But thanks for keeping me up dated. Right after that video came out I couldn't keep up with the demand. You have quite a following! ...... I did stumble onto something you might want to try, it's great for baking or a long simmer. I had a simmer ring for a penny stove that I had made. It's the top part of a soda can cut off at about 1 1/8 inches with the pull tab end cut out so that it makes sort of a cone 1 1/8 inches tall. It fits over the top of the Trangia burner perfectly. Pull the O-ring out of the burner lid, drop it in the Mojo and put the burner on the lid. That raises the burner up to the right height for the new simmer ring . After the burner has blossomed, put the new simmer ring on that only leaves about a 1/4 inch to the bottom of the pot and it will simmer for over an hour. Also it makes it almost windproof. The alcohol burns off a little faster baking, but at a simmer I have had the fuel last about an hour and 45 minutes. It really increased the burn time.
All The Best
Larry

I mentioned in the video that this stove is NOT a gram-weenie item. If you wanted to use it on a hiking trip you'ld need some pack goats like the ones steinwaygoat travels with. Here's a link to steinwaygoat's video, "Deep Lake, Snowy Range, Pack Goats"

I figured I would do a series of four, boil and run-out tests with each type of Fancy Feast Stove. And then find out what the average time to boil and run-out time for each type was.
I had already done two tests with what I thought was the full, un-cut tomato can stove when I saw that I had used the Fancy Feast Stove with the tomato can cut down to a 1 3/8" (1.375") flame gap. This was the Fancy Feast Stove version I had made to test with the Sterno Inferno. Since I had already done two tests with this stove I figured I would finish the tests with it. I'm pretty sure the results will be pretty close to the same ones I would have gotten if I had used a stove made with a full size tomato can.
In these tests the "Time to Run-out" is when either the flames go out or the temperature drops below boiling, whichever happens first.
These are the results I got. Please keep in mind that there was an hour (or more) between tests so that everything can get back to room temperature (around 87° F).
Also the starting water temperature was 45° F (about the temperature of water coming out of my refrigerator) so I didn't have to wait for all the water to get to 60° F as usual. Because of this the "Time to Boil" times are a little longer than usual.
30 ml (about 1 fluid ounce) of methanol was used in each test.
Fancy Feast Stove with 1" flame gap
Test 1: Time to boil: 5 minutes 51 seconds Time to Run-out: 10 minutes 45 seconds
Test 2: Time to boil: 5 minutes 33 seconds Time to Run-out: 10 minutes 28 seconds
Test 3: Time to boil: 5 minutes 50 seconds Time to Run-out: 10 minutes 45 seconds
Test 4: Time to boil: 5 minutes 41 seconds Time to Run-out: 10 minutes 36 seconds
Average Time to boil: 5 minutes 44 seconds
Average Time to Run-out: 10 minutes 38 seconds
Fancy Feast Stove with 1 3/8" (1.375") flame gap
Test 1: Time to boil: 5 minutes 10 seconds Time to Run-out: 9 minutes 5 seconds
Test 2: Time to boil: 5 minutes 2 seconds Time to Run-out: 7 minutes 58 seconds
Test 3: Time to boil: 5 minutes 4 seconds Time to Run-out: 8 minutes 30 seconds
Test 4: Time to boil: 5 minutes 11 seconds Time to Run-out: 8 minutes 6 seconds
Average Time to boil: 5 minutes 7 seconds
Average Time to Run-out: 8 minutes 25 seconds
Time to Boil for 1" flame gap is about 37 seconds longer
Time to Run-out for 1 3/8" flame gap is about 2 minutes 13 seconds shorter.
I look forward to others duplicating these tests and showing the results they get.

So for this video I put together a Fancy Feast Stove using a tomato paste can that wasn't cut down and I did a flame test comparing it's flame with a regular Fancy Feast Stove.
It looks like the un-cut tomato paste can will get the job done but the flames look a little strained.
Thank you, Rock Bottom Tin Can, for the nice comment and request.

Go to Home Depot or any of the home improvement or plumbing stores, and in the plumbing section they sell the black blankets that are made to keep heat from the propane torch while sweating copper pipes. This material works great for wind screen. You can pick it up instantly from being next to the flame and it won't burn you.
Link to "Where do I buy my Carbon Felt/Fiber?"
youtube.com/watch?v=_c27x9lOvLw
The carbon felt/fiber that I've been buying is a three foot by three foot Tillman Welding Blanket that I buy from CyberWeld. You can find it at the following link:
http://store.cyberweld.com/panfelwelbla.html
This welding blanket is a little bit thinner than the stuff I was buying at Home Depot but at the price I can buy it I don't mind using a bit more if needed. I won't list the price but if you follow the link to CyberWeld you'll see what thier current price is.

You might remember my mentioning steinwaygoat in my video, "What Is My Favorite Alcohol Stove Pot Stand?". She's a goat packer from Wyoming and she's uploaded a bunch of videos of her and her goats out in the wilds. She also has a couple of videos where she plays a really cool ocarina in a grain silo. Talk about great acoustics. I bet the camera microphone didn't do justice.
Anyway she also did a video called, "Fancee Feast Stove Stabilizing Stand" (I'll leave a link below) where she shows us how the modify a MOJO pot stand so it can be used as a stabilizing stand for the Fancy Feast stove for larger, heavier pots or frying pans.
To thank her for sharing her idea with us I sent her two Fancy Feast liners, one carbon felt and one ceramic. I guess she felt she had to thank me in return by sending me what sounds like a box of rocks. I was just reading how Wyoming is being called the "Gemstone State". With any luck maybe she sent me some gold nuggets or maybe even some raw diamonds.
My curiosity is piqued so I thought I would invite everyone along for the ride as I do an "unboxing" and share what I find with everyone. When I say "share" I mean view the contents, not share them especially if it's gold nuggets.
Turns out the "box of rocks" were some really cool agates, which just happens to be one of my birthstones (September)
Thank you, Jewel, for the great selection of agates. I'll add them to my rock collection.
And thank you for watching my videos,
Hiram

Jon over at FlatCatGear commented on my video,"Fancy Feast Stove - Methanol vs Isopropyl Alcohol", "If you cut the pot support down to about 1/2" or less, Iso should work fine (no soot, no yellow flames). The problem with wick stoves and Iso is that you end up leaving residual water in the wick. This is a problem when using 70% Iso and too high a water % will make it difficult to burn.?"
Thank you, Jon, for the suggestion,

I did three burn tests and these are the results I got.
Test #1
Fuel: alcohol
Amount: 4 ml
Burn time: 2 minutes 40 seconds
Note: 4 ml was all the alcohol I could fit in the dished area.
Test #2
Fuel: alcohol
Amount: 6 ml
Burn time: 4 minutes 18 seconds
Note: I added a carbon felt disk (.17" thick, 1.25" in diameter) to hold more alcohol.
Test #3
Fuel: alcohol
Amount: 8 ml
Burn time: 5 minutes 31 seconds
Note: I added 2 carbon felt disks (.17" thick each (.34" total thickness), 1.25" in diameter) to hold more alcohol.
Please keep in mind:
30 ml = 1 fluid ounce
15 ml = 1/2 fluid ounce
7.5 ml = 1/4 fluid ounce

So far when I used 1 fluid ounce of methanol alone, the stove burned over 21 minutes without getting to a bloom. I stopped the test out of boredom.
Kristyanna Virgona suggestion ".... put a small coil of carbon felt to used as a wick, in the center of the Vargo stove that way you would not need to put 60 ml of fuel". That worked a little better. The stove came to a bloom in 13 minutes and 21 seconds but we need to bring that time down.
So in this video I try the suggestion I got from several people, to use a primer pan under the stove. Primer pans are usually work if there is room under the burner.
I think one of the big problems with the Vargo Titanium Converter Stove is that it's made out of titanium. Titanium is stronger than steel but it's really lousy when it comes to tranfering heat (Thermal Conductvity). Titanium tranfers something like 10 times less than aluminum. I guess that's why aluminum pans and jetted stoves made of aluminum seem to work better.

So in this video I try Kristyanna suggestion by putting a small piece of carbon felt in the center tube of the Vargo Titanium Converter Stove. We did a little better at a bloom time of 13 minutes and 21 seconds but we need to bring that time down.
In my next video I'll try a primer pan. Primer pans always seem to work if there's room for one under the burner.

After more than 20 minutes the stove still didn't get to a bloom. So far it looks like the stove might only come to a bloom with a full load, 2 fluid ounces, of fuel. Somehow we have to find a way to get the stove to bllom with less fuel because you have have times when you don't have enough fuel to fill it.
I have a couple of ideas I will try.

In my first burn test on the Vargo Titanium Converter we saw that the stove had to be pretty near filled up to get it to light. Filling up the stove just to heat up a cup of water for a hot drink could really waste alcohol. The alcohol can be poured out but the wide diameter of the stove makes it hard to pour it back into a narrow bottle.
In this video I show you an easy to make device to snuff out the stove and then be used to help pour un-used alcohol back into a narrow bottle.

On my video "Fancy Feast Stove with a Sand Wick" keith moore commented, "finding sand outside around Allentown this time of year that can be used for that, now that's something i'd have to see!?"
In this video I go outdoors to find some sand or grit to use as a wick and thanks to Keith I take you along with me.
For those of you that complain that I never show my face, remember you asked for it. For the rest of you, I'm sorry. 8-)
Thank you Keith for your comment,
And thank you for watching my videos,

Carbon felt/fiber isn't real cheap, and now we see that it has a problem of shrinking over use.
Fiberglass cloth isn't very cheap either.
In ths video I use a REALLY, REALLY cheap wicking material, sand. Turns out that not only is it a cheap wicking it also works pretty good.
I hope this helps those that asked about using sand for a wick,
And thank you for watching my videos,

This Micro Stove is the one that 17HMRSniper used with his Axe Can Mini Stove that I did a couple of videos one about a month ago. I ordered one so I could do a boil test like what 17HMRSniper did.
This is the product description from Amazon.
The world's smallest hobo stove - fits in a wallet! Super small - pack size 4,7 x 6,5 cm, only 77 grams, still a fully functional hobo stove. Can be used with wood, other organic material, Esbit, alcohol burner or a tea candle. A perfect gift for real men (and women!). Has been used by our customers as EDC emergency stove, penholder, stylish teapot warmer and atmospheric Bushcraft tea candle lamp. Each part has a hole for a carabiner. And - this little stove is also going down well with women who like its alternative uses!
Thank you, 17HMRSniper for sending me one of your stoves,
And thank you for watching my videos,

On my video, "Fancy Feast Stove With No Wick" keith moore commented, "you ask me the wick is mainly there to act as a spacer anyway, most of these stoves seem to need to be lit in the center anyway?"
I've had several people pretty much say the same thing that Keith said so I thought maybe I should explain why a Fancy Feast Stove has a wick and how the wick works.
First off let me just say wicks work because of something called "capillary action". I'm not going to explain how capillary action is defined as the movement of liquid within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension, but rather let's just say capillary action, which is also sometimes called wicking, is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces.
Take a paper towel from example, like the one I used in the Fancy Feast stove the other day. Paper towels absorb liquid through capillary action, sucking up a liquid from a surface to the towel.
Another example is a straw in a glass of soda. Did you ever notice that the soda in the straw is a little higher than the soda in your glass? "Capillary action" causes that.
One more example is something almost everyone did in grade school, the old "celery stalk in a glass of water with food coloring" experiment where you watch the color water move to the top leaves of the celery.
In this video I will replace the celery with a piece of that ceramic fiber I used the other day. When I put a strip of the ceramic fiber in a jar with about one inch of alcohol dyed red, we will see the alcohol move up higher than the alcohol level in the jar.
In the Fancy Feast stove, the wick lifts the alcohol up to where we can more easily light the vapors.

I bought the Vargo Titanium Converter through Massdrop for $30.99 with free shipping. If I had bought it from Vargo it would have cost me $39.99 plus $2.99 shipping.
Now, you may be asking, "What is a Vargo Titanium Converter?"
Dropping a Vargo Titanium Converter into a Vargo Titanium Hexagon Wood Stove converts it into multi-fuel stove, potholder and windscreen. A multi-fuel stove that will burn wood, charcoal, alcohol and if you flip over the burner burn fuel tabs and gels.
Thank you for watching my videos,
Hiram

The problem seems to be that the stainless steel pot stand is pushed all the way to the bottom of the outer can and there are no holes to let the alcohol through to the wick like in my Fancy Feast stoves.
Well, I started to wonder. What if I pull the stainless steel pot stand up a little to leave a gap for the alcohol to get through?
We see in this test that pulling up the pot stand does work. Once the stove is lit it doesn't seem to matter if the pot stand is then pushed all the way to the bottom of the outer can.
I hope this helps.
