Breakfast stove.
I'll often survive on 'not much' when I'm out but recently the thought of starting the day with a nice bacon butty has become quite appealing. Obviously my usual 8g stove wouldn't be up to the task of frying bacon, yet I just couldn't bring myself to go down the gas route - instead, I made a giant version of the 8g stove.
Weighs 45g and has a burn time of up to 20 minutes, so more than capable of a bit of frying work

But still use my trusty trangia burner if it's me and the boy,( which in turn means having to cook a proper breakfast , probably 4x heavier than that stove though)

Re: Breakfast stove.
Question: what weight/volume of meths would be required?
Re: Breakfast stove.
What's happened to your after burner stove and how does this compare?

Re: Breakfast stove.
I'm struggling to source the inners. My supplier tells me they will be back but they can't say when.What's happened to your after burner stove and how does this compare?
Being a side burner and having the pan sit directly on top of the stove means this suits a frying pan very well. The AB has a more concentrated flame and needs the pan to sit above the stove ... not easy to make a neat solution to that for a frying pan.
About 40ml - 50ml to get 20 minutes Colin.what weight/volume of meths would be required?

Re: Breakfast stove.
Looks to be similar size to a beer/pop can stove unless your hands are particularly big or small

Re: Breakfast stove.
68mm OD and 55mm high Bob. I could reduce the height a bit without reducing capacity but it's just how it worked out. Nice thing when compared to a pop can stove is you can actually stand on these ..... not saying you'd want to but it does show that they're quite robust

Did you ever do the schoolkid trick of standing one-legged on an empty pop can then tapping the side so it collapsed under you?Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 10:22 am 68mm OD and 55mm high Bob.

Re: Breakfast stove.
We used to just tap the can with a finger but a pencil will be a bit safer. Also wear decent shoes/boots with solid soles

Down Saff, we call that flat packing. I needs to be a cheap lager can and several attempts need to be made.whitestone wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 10:27 am Did you ever do the schoolkid trick of standing one-legged on an empty pop can then tapping the side so it collapsed under you?
It's also good for the environment too, as more cans can fit in a recycling box when flat packed.
