Just got my first adventure into the world of alcohol
burning stoves. I have previously been using a MSR Pocket Rocket. I ordered my
Solo UCAB on 6/29/09 and got it 7/6/09. That was one “Speedy Delivery.” My
first impression was “Wow that sure is small.” And after weighing it, it is
really small and light weight. This system seems to be well suited for
preparing dehydrated meals, soups, and hot drinks. You might be able to use it
in a double boiler situation, but I will have to try that out later. It only
took about ½ oz. of fuel to boil 2 cups of water, so you would probably need no
more than 1 to 1.5 oz a day out in the woods. The fuel he recommends, Heet, is
only $2 for 12oz at the automotive store. Tinny has many other designs that he
has on his website Mini Bull Designs.
Location: N36°02.935’, W83°55.171’, Elevation: 1190ft.
Equipment:

Congrats on your new stove adventures. Alcohol stoves have "personalities" and that makes my camp time fun

WHOOOOO! I see your using the same bowl/cup setup as me with the plastic blue lid bowl, I love those, they are cheap and work great! They sometimes warp with hot liquids, but always come back. They are sturdy enough not to be punctured and can take years of abuse. Love em love em love em!
