Weird...I literally use one of those tea pods and a BRS stove to make morning tea. I'm watching this video and looking at both items

I like the ingenuity. Thanks for the share. I carry a BRS and have focused on a windscreen, to help efficiency. but I think I’ll give this a try too.

What makes a good flame diffuser? IMHO: 1. Diffuses the flame without impeding gas flow! 2. Does not cause flames to go backwards toward the gas canister or stove valve. 3. Attaches/detaches easily and securely. 4. Is thin so that it fits above the normal flame orifice and below the pot stand so that a pot does not touch diffuser. 5. Is lightweight and fits within the existing cook kit, such as under the gas canister. 6. Is durable and long lasting. 7. Works to keep food in the cook pots from burning or scorching.

Thanks for this! I'm going to try it.

This is brilliant.

Hey mate, got to say this is genius. I just got a BRS3000T and instantly ran into the issue of its intense hotspot heating. Worked ok when boiling water in a pot but as soon as I tried to fry anything in the cheap aluminium pot/pan set I have, it instantly started overheating one spot and causing warping. Even on the lowest setting. These tea diffusers are like $1.50AUD at Kmart, so I'm going to give this a go. Actually, already have one at home but I don't think my GF would appreciate me destroying her tea infuser haha

Thanks! Let us know how it worked. The infuser/diffuser I bought has the perfect diameter to clip into the 3 legs of the stove which might be important. And don't forget that one shouldn't use their stove on full blast with this.

Thank you. Was going to order one from AliExpress but it looks like I am going to Kmart tomorrow!

Thick aluminum spreads heat all by itself. If you want to demonstrate heat diffusion cook the egg in a lightweight Toaks titanium pot.

Great innovation

Nice craftsmanship, but however I am unclear about what the actual benefit is. It would be helpful if you did a with vs without video to show the difference if any. Without any measurable benefit I am not going to add weight to my cook system. Aluminum pans typically do a good job at distributing the heat over the surface area of the pan.

Wow Jim, this is really neat! Well, I guess it's time for me to see if target still has these little doodads!

Wow, that's so awesome that it fits so well, I can probably pick one of those tea "diffusers" up from the dollar store here in 🇨🇦 instead of destroying my wife's one, that probably won't go over well 😝

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the stove again

Love this! I do wonder about effeciency, do you need more time/gas when cooking with this? Could you maybe try to do a test by boiling water and see whether it takes more (or less) time when using it?

I measure efficiency by weight (mass) of gas used and NOT by time. This flame diffuser is NOT for boiling water faster, but for having a widely spread flame that spreads the heat in order to cook things like eggs. GearSkeptic here on KZread has a video about stove and pot efficiency.

When cooking without burning, a smaller flame is even preferred, but for the sake of knowing, if you use a high flame from the BRS does it melt or catch fire? Did you experience that? Thank you.

I have never used my BRS in flame thrower mode, but I have used it with higher gas flow than shown in this video. My stove did not melt nor "'catch fire" nor did any of my pots.

Hello I have a question. Can I share your video on my channel. Because I think I will be helpful to many users of this burner

@jimpflugrath6220

Yes, of course! Thanks!

I kindly suggest to check the canister top temperature when using a heat diffuser. Heat diffusers will radiate heat as infrared light and this may overheat the canister.

Yes, indeed. Thanks for the reminder. That's why I put all those warnings in the Description and in the video. I suggest that one is able to always put their bare finger on the top of the canister and keep it there without burning themselves.

What pan gripper is that??

Is the reason for pushing the net in and out so it doesn't touch the pot using?

Yes, but I like the way it diffuses the burning gas, that is, the flame. I didn't put much thought into any "reason" though and just came up with this empirical method that seems to work well for me. Did you try it yet?

@@jimpflugrath6220 yes I tried it. And it averages out the flame so it’s not so focused in the center spot. And when the flame burns the steel net red, it acts as the concept like infra-red heating.

I understand that you have a Titanium Pot but was the stove in the test with your diffusor, a Titanium pot? Doesn't Aluminim spread the heat more evenly than Titanium? Would a diffusor be necessary for an Aluminum Pot if using your BRS 3000 Stove?

@jimpflugrath6220

The stove was a titanium stove. The pan was thick aluminum. Yes, I think this particular pan spreads the heat more evenly than a thin titanium pan would. I don't know if a diffuser would be necessary for this BRS stove with this particular aluminum pan or not, since I did not even try that combination. Maybe one day I will test that. Thanks!

Hello, I copied your idea. However, I noticed that the design of the burner is extremely hot in the lower area. frighteningly hot. Through this system, it radiates large amounts of heat downwards. After a short time I could hardly touch the burner. however, this is possible in normal operation.

@jimpflugrath6220

Indeed. I am not sure what you mean by "burner" though. Also does the "burner" get just as hot when you do not use the flame diffuser? The stove will get hot simply from the conductance of the heat through the connected metal parts, therefore one should use the lowest flame (i.e. gas flow) possible I would think.
