Casper Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I had to pass this along. These are freaking awesome. After pricing the Jet boil and other gadgetry for my camping getup...I made my own alcohol stoves. The Redbull is the smallest and boils 2 cups water in 4-7 minutes depending on how primed you get it. The monster will boil 2 cups in 3 minutes flat! I picked up a GSI Halulite Minimalist Mug/pot that nests everything in it real well.The Red Bull stand is made from aluminum sheet traced from a credit card! it will fit in your wallet! Burns Esbit solid fuel tabs also.Monster energy open top side burner design. No stand needed and becomes pressurized burner when you set pot on top. VERY easy and fast.Burns denatured alcohol and burn time is about 15 minute for both stoves on 4 tsp of alcohol. I can boil 2 cups for my oatmeal and then fry an egg in that time!

Rocks Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Been doin that for years with C rations. I was a Sgt in the Marines from 67-71 + we were still eatin WWII C rats. You ate the fruitcake first, poked holes in the side with yer John Wayne that you wore on yer dogtag chain, + dropped the heat tab into the fruitcake can. Yer "entree" fit on top of that. WARNING: never try + extinguish the heat tab with gravy from the beef stew it's HIGHLY flamable from all the formaldehyde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
