Stoves: wood, alcohol, butane, esbit, gasoline... let 'm burn

Good idea. Will check that out.
The windscreen is really nice. Compact.

Cofee ready

 

Metal film canister / 2500 Deg carbon felt / alky stove


The MICRO!

Lit at 1210 hours local time

1.5 litres cold water in the Pathfinder Swedish stainless mess kit


as of 1235 hours , The MICRO is still burning , water is hot to touch with bubbles rising and steam coming off the top. Not a full rolling boil, but too hot to touch - just perfect for coffee

Went out at 1237 hours - total of 27 min burn time (indoors, windscreen, no wind) with approx 3 tablespoons at most of methyl hydrate alky

 

Cool little stove!
Can you transport it with alcohol inside it!

 

yep - although I don’t know long term about the rubber seal on the lid.

 

That’s very cool! Super compact noodle cooking. I bet the auto parts people can source replacement o-rings that size.

 

Round 2 - The MICRO - boiling 1 cup water for noodles

Lit at 1245 hours local



Rolling boil at 1305 hours

 

New small (320 ml) ti mug with lid tested out in the backyard

Hike today with my gf

Coffee, noodles and crackers with french cheese, testing out my new gas stove.

 

Out for lunch today. Brought some homemade tomato-soup (thanks to my gf), eggs and some thick slices of pumpkin seed bread.
Prepared on the Kelly Kettle hobo stove, wood prepared with the Opinel 12 Saw and the Spyderco Bushcraft UK.

Found a nice spot on the waterside


Curls and shavings to get the fire started with my ferro-rod.


First put the kettle on for coffee and get the fire going strong


Coffee is ready


Next: heating up my soup


Enjoying the view while the soup is on


Once the soup is hot I fried a couple of eggs


Tasty lunch!


Another afternoon spent well

 

Great day to go out for a lunch outdoors.
Brought some nice tools and tasty food.
Weather was great for a change.

Out on a rainy day today
BK16 and Firebox Nano for preparing tea, testing my hammock and tarp setup some more
practising my knots.



A nice oppotunity to set my tarp get a bit quicker with that


Wood was dry enough to have some curls catch a spark from a ferrorod

 

Door County Bratwurst on the new cast aluminum single pan, old Coleman and 16 panel windscreen.
Boiled in beer then fried.
Cowboy beans and slaw.

 

On a recent trip to WI I had an opportunity to fire up the Lavabox propane firepit/grill.
Next to it a Mesa XL on pellets and small chunks of locally sourced.
Ran the Lavabox two nights, two hours each night on a 5lb tank with lots of gas to spare.

 

Also on this WI trip two guys brought newly purchased Blackstones. Both of them the same size. These have the new coated cooking surfaces, one with a side burner. Shown here flatbread pizza.
Both purchased from Walmart.

 

Ooooooooh flat tops!! Awesome!

 

No heavy scraping and no seasoning.
Still like cooking on My heavy 17.
