I’ve used this type stove on deer hunts, no smoke no odor, be careful since alcohol burns clear and the flame is hard to see.

why not just fix up the smaller can and fill it with alcohol, then put the small lid on the can? that would eliminate the need to store one extra bottle of alcohol…this is basically just a homemade sterno type heater. I wonder if the alcohol fuel could be gelled with and used with out the toilet paper. like sterno type fuels…

While this is a great idea, I can think of a few better ways to use toilet paper out in the field if u know wat i mean. A solutition to this is to store the toilet paper without the alcohol and add it all when you need to use it.

After reading all about flames and fumes and storing flammable fuels, I think I’ll stick with what I do now, which is to keep a couple of packages of Thermacare heat wraps in the car. With those plus a sleeping bag, you’re toasty for a couple of days.

In regards to Billy’s comment on use of cheap vodka… I wouldn’t recommend the carry of drinking alcohol in your car due to legal issues with open container laws. I would at least recommend you keep it in an old rubbing alcohol container to avoid a nosy cop busting you…

I keep my small can separate w/other stuff in it till use. Large paint can holds 24 oz mason jar w/alcohol CLEARLY MARKED. Room for 2 frozen plastic H20 bottles (must be short enough or 2 empty alcohol btls filled and frozen and clearly marked H20. If they melt they are sealed in large can till ready no leaks. Before starting fire in can, cut and peel water bottles and place ice in can around small can. Melts ice for little dirty water to drink and keeps a safe fire with water in bottom of can. A second large can can old 4 bottles of ice (H20) bottles and serve as a bathroom or snow dipper.
