10g Stove
At a loose end following the no-show of my spokes I fished out an old smidge bottle and made a little meths stove. I used a Stanley knife blade to slowly cut the bottle, scored a line around it then punched some holes in it as I didn’t have any small drills.
Works a treat, forgot to put an air hole in the first burn so it hunted a little all’s good now. Blooms faster than my red bull can stoves.
2 Grams lighter and I could of had legal issues

Re: 10g Stove
At first I made it too big and lost performance, it’s quite a fine balance.

Re: 10g Stove
Trying to work out how you 'remove' a bit of hole H.O.T.T., ie put back non-hole. Bit of solder or summat?

Re: 10g Stove
You did a much neater job than when I did that with my MYOG* mini-stove Stuart may remember that poor, dented thing.then punched some holes in it as I didn’t have any small drills.

I've spent years trying to forgetStuart may remember that poor, dented thing.
The top notch is goverened by a number of factors such as internal volume, jet hole size and placement. Adding a notch because I do, may not lead to stove happiness

Re: 10g Stove
Well at first the internal pressure was doing bad things, I made the vent too big and it struggled to stay lit, just sanded a little off the top.

Re: 10g Stove
Late in again.
Steve how did you make the "upside down funnel" bit - the bit that sits inside the casing with the wee gap at the bottom. And how did you seal it? When I was making stoves - and I made dozens of them - I used aluminium beer bottles, hacksaws and a car jack. I suspect you took a more elegant approach?

He mentioned it was much simpler than that . Erm, harrumph, I mean it took weeks of carefully calculated experimentation.
Think of the shape of a Smidge spray.....

Re: 10g Stove
Sorry for the late reply Tim, it’s just the top of the smidge bottle cut off then pressed into the base, a couple of groves cut to allow the meths through. Fits it tight so seals itself.TheBrownDog wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 6:11 pm Late in again.
