WOW Never heard of the company but it sure looks good. I've been using my alcohol burning Swedish Trangia, and US made Brasslite stoves. I was seriously considering the take-apart Emberlit twig stove for free fuel camping but may reconsider. You can find great videos on each type on YouTube.

I have a penny stove (soda can stove). I work in the lab and get all the 95% ethanol I need...since I'm the one responsible for diluting 70% ethanol out of 95% ethanol for the lab. :wink: Penny stoves are easy to make...and burns clean and hot. In a survival situation, all you need are two soda cans, a stove and a thumb tac. In a real survival situation, just give me a ferro rod and some tinder. :lol:

Stan, I've seen lots of YouTube videos of those wood burning stove. There are instructions also for making your own wood stove out of three cans...no need to buy one :wink:

Here's an alcohol burner I made from a 25oz. Foster's beer can and a Friskies catfood can. Burns great with both 91% isopropol alcohol, and denatured alcohol. It fit's inside my $5 folding Sterno stove perfectly as does my Trangia burner like the one above.
