~2 ULTRALITE ALCOHOL STOVES, 2 WINDSCREENS, 2 STAINLESS CUPS~

Here's a unique little lightweight stove that will boil water in minutes. These are designed for backpackers, hikers, campers, hunters, anglers or anyone out for a walk in the wild who want efficiency, not extra weight. The stove, windscreen, and cup weigh less than 5 oz.

Have you ever been Elk or deer hunting in the mountains when there is snow on the ground or everything is wet and you're lost? I've been there when it got well below zero at night and it's pretty scary when you get disoriented. A few survival items in your backpack can make a life or death difference and give you plenty of confidence. Plan ahead a little and you can survive. No matter how wet the wood is, you can always start an alcohol stove, boil a little water for ramen noodles or whatever dehydrated food you like and you can survive with a little pre planning and of course the proper equipment in your emergency kit.  

The preferred fuels are:

Denatured alcohol (methylated spirits)

Methyl Alcohol

Ethyl Alcohol

HEET gasline antifreeze, (in the yellow bottle)

Please, no gasoline or Coleman fuel. Adult supervision required

Your new alcohol stove is easy to use and comes with instructions. The stove only weighs a smidge over 10 grams.  

These put out an awesome amount of heat in seconds and you'll love it the first time it's used.

The stoves are made from recycled beverage cans so may have a few small dings or mars (experience marks), this is normal and will not affect the useability of the item. They are 100% recyclable including the windscreen which can double as a pot stand.

The windscreen stands approx 3 1/4" tall and is about 14" long when flattened. The circle is about 4" across. It is normal for the windscreen to turn brown or black after heating and will become annealed, so it will have a tendency to stay in the round shape, this is normal, but it can still be flattened.

The 20 oz cup is made of thin stainless steel so it heats quickly and is lightweight. I only use the cup for cooking or boiling, metal cups get too hot for most people to drink from.

Every outdoorsman should carry one of these and a little flask of alcohol for "just in case" or for a quick hot lunch. A couple tablespoons of alcohol in the stove will warm those cold hands quickly, just be careful as the flame is invisible in daylight. The perfect gift for your outdoors buddies or any ice fisherman or duck hunter. You can use this stove in place of solid fuel stoves if you like their pot stand, but not the fuel.

It's hard to give specs on the stoves as I don't know where they end up being used. It varies depending on weather and altitude. I live in the Ozarks and the Lake of the Ozarks is only 660' above sea level, so if you're hunting on Gannett Peak in Wyoming or Pikes Peak in Colorado, the performance will vary, but rest assured the little stove will perform great. I timed one here because people have asked for something to go by.

The stove takes about a minute or so to blossom. When cooking on the windscreen as a potstand, I.5 oz alcohol will bring 2 cups of water to the boiling point in about 4 minutes and 7 minutes to a rolling boil. It will cook about 3.5 to 4 minutes more after that. If more time is needed you can use up to 2 oz of alcohol safely. If you cook directly on the stove it will come to a boil a little slower and cook longer. I've had 2 oz actually last up to 29 minutes under perfect conditions. That's way too long to cook most meals, but you can bake a cupcake or biscuits, fry eggs or roast marshmallows, there's plenty of heat to manipulate. I like to cook a regular meal once in awhile rather than live on noodles so I carry 2 stoves. I can cook 2 things at once and they don't weigh enough to make any difference. I always carry extra alcohol anyway in case of a spill.

These are quality made stoves, I don't speed through making them and you won't get a defective one. I wouldn't want to be out for a few days with a stove that a speed demon slapped together and I don't want that to happen to you either. Here's some of the feedback I've received, feel free to check it out:

A COUPLE NOTES FROM INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:

I like the fact that you adopt children. I saw such horrible things done to people whilst I was in The Paratroop Regiment. I did tours of Northern Ireland and Oman also Dhofar, all between the 70s and 80s. I think that anyone seeing things like that, and not wanting to change it, well there is something not right.
I donate a percentage of my sales to a Children's Hospice in Wales UK. And although it's a drop in the ocean, it's also rewarding to see the kids enjoying themselves in any way they can.
I do hope you keep in touch even after any sales, as it's a real pleasure to meet the good guys.
 
In all my time on eBay I have met some good honest traders, but Jim goes way beyond that. I live in England, yet feel so secure buying from this man that the word honest goes no way near describing what makes this man what he is.
If you have any doubts at all buying from this man...Forget them...Buy Buy Buy.
Thanks Jim, your a real star.
STEVE.

HERE’S A LETTER FROM CUSTOMERS IN NEW MEXICO:

We ordered two stoves, windscreens and 20 oz. cups. We have used them twice and they have been absolutely outstanding. In the back country at Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico, at 7000 feet altitude with +/- 17 ounces of water they get to a rolling boil in 5.5 minutes and maintain the rolling boil for another 6.5 minutes using 1.5 ounces of denatured alcohol. To be quite honest, you have spoiled us rotten with these. Outstanding product, price and quality.

Also, the water we used was from the stream in Frijoles Canyon. We filtered the water with a hankerchief and used a Steripen to purify it. So the water was not "soft" by any means. Probably did not need to use the Steripen as your stoves would maintain the rolling boil for 6.5 minutes but what the heck. Cryptosporidium and giardia is present in that stream according to Park Rangers. Better safe than sorry.

The pictures are from two recent different Bandelier National Monument back country trips using your stoves as we talked about in ebay messages. On these trips we did not use the included windscreen and cups because the MRE packets would not fit in the cups (however, they work like champs as well). Nothing a canteen cup stand, canteen cup, tin foil and wire could not solve. Stoves were the best part by far. Adapt, overcome and improvise!
