Nice stove and good video. The different parts pack well inside each other👍. Making camping stoves is fun. I once made a modification of the Esbit stove. It works with a Trangia gas burner, an alcohol burner and can also burn wood. It might also work with a Trangia alcohol gel burner or a multi fuel burner, but I don't have them.

Thank you for your comment. It's always fun to use something you have made yourself and the trangia burner is a classic for good reason.

Nice! I just cut carbon felt and put it in the rectangle well.

That would work. Nothing wrong with just filling the tray with felt. Thanks foe taking the time to comment

I converted the BCB stove into a burner stand by folding the inter wings down as flat as I could get them. Insert an Evernew Titanium burner with cross bars, BCB wind screen, fold down the BCB stove legs, and G2G. Works great for canteen cups

Sounds a bit like what 'infoshed explore' did kzread.info/dash/bejne/onuOp4-hZaezj6Q.htmlsi=LZF_Sg2ZYFWtCgsw The BCB is a good basis for experimenting. Thanks for the comment and I'm sure it will prove of use.

Obviously enjoying your videos. What was in the empty container, just for extra fuel? Cheers Stu

Yes the other bottle holds fuel. About 20ml. The bottles probably came from one of those airport travel kits for take on liquids. I can't be sure as I have a box full of small bottles that I have collected over the years in the hope that they would be useful. Thanks for commenting

Crazy good! By the by, who makes the kettle?

If you search eBay with "300ML Folding Camping Kettle Outdoor Kettle Coffee Pot Portable Lightweight" you will find it or one like it. Costs about £10. I'd post a link but KZread usually deletes comments with links. I wrapped the handle with parcel string which worked well however the spout suffers from the same problem as every other hiking kettle. The spout projects into the main body forming a ridge that traps some of the water which makes completely emptying it awkward to say the least. Best part is that it fits inside the small trangia mess tin. Thanks for watching.

That's pretty handy,I was thinking of modifying my bcb stove by putting stove rope in the square resovoir that the gel goes in,but maybe it would be too much fuel wasting and could be dangerous, your idea seems very solid 👍

Out of curiosity, would this work by just lining the tray with carbon felt?

@EpicureanHikers

You would need to seal the gaps in the tray as it's just folded. A better approach in MHO would be to form a tray out of heavy guage aluminium foil then fill it with carbon felt. Doing this would work but the stove would be "hot." Too hot for my needs but ok for boiling large quantities of water, half litre, quite quickly. I'm quite happy with smaller stoves that have low heat output but that's just me. Others may have priorities.

The only reason why this thing needs to be converted is because it doesn't work properly with its own fuel.😂

It's too hot with the gel blocks. Ok for it's intended purpose of boiling water for a brew or heating a retort pouch. Meths is cheaper than the intended gel fuel

@@EpicureanHikers It's ridiculously inefficient and when I tried using it with BCB fire dragon I actually nearly burnt my hands off trying to pick my own BCB mug up off it. 😅 yeah its got some issues 🤔 its never good if you have to mod it to use it🤣👍
