Trangier type meths stove

[Chef moxy]

Had this for many years, given to me by a mate who said its a handy bit of kit to keep in the truck for a standby stove. As those of you that know me, will know I like a bit of choice

Powered by meths it is very economical to run and very efficient, it takes about 5 mins or so to boil up for a brew.... so not to bad. Its a bit bulky to carry around when on the fells, but ok to keep in the vehicle as I said before.



Pour the meths inside the middle and light it, the vapours will ignite and as it heats up the vapours will be drawn up through the little holes around the rim, then you get the gas ring effect.

I quite like that, not bad for a back up.

Seen them advertised but never knew how they worked.
Cheers Dave ;D

Can also be made with a couple of pop cans, cut in half and joined together, with a few holes put in round the rim and a hole in the centre to pour the meths in....... go on you tube.....'penny stove' made them in the past in my youth when I was in the cadets

Last time I used meths in a stove it was in my old man's primus stove. Used meths to warm it up then pumped up the paraffin pressure then away you go. Happy days . . . although it only worked at zero or inferno setting, so great for making a brew but try cooking anything on it and it would be black on the outside and raw inside!!!!
