i made this tiny ultra-low flame burner just a moment ago and it already heat-ran itself into a full burn and scorched the body
fuel amount and pot distance can probably prevent it next time
still… the texture it left is weirdly beautiful, something i could never make on purpose

testing a tiny low-flame alcohol stove
it’s meant only for keeping things warm
both the main chamber and the sub-chamber have carbon felt built in, so the fuel stays steady instead of flaring
the goal is getting around 30 minutes of burn time from just 5mL

a titanium windscreen would be lighter, but i like taking my Esbit with me
it picks up droplets or a little splash, and by the time i’m home that spot is already rusting
when i clean it off the color shifts a bit
that little moment of change is fun too, so i keep bringing it out

i also made a removable felt cylinder
raise it for stronger flame, drop it for simmer
it holds fuel on its own too, adding about +5mL of capacity
more fuel available, more fire when i actually need it

so i split the stove into two rooms
a dry main chamber for burning, and a sub-chamber packed with carbon felt that holds every drop of fuel
fuel stays locked in even if the stove tips, and separating storage from vapor generation fixed most of the instability

been tweaking my carbon felt stove again and i think it finally hit the personality i was chasing
regular felt stoves still have that liquid behavior, and i kinda wanted something that runs on vapor only—clean, steady, predictable

threw on my DIY sideburner jacket
the flame was super calm before, but the chimney effect just sends it straight into overdrive
kinda proud of this one
but yeah, it’s an aluminum-can build, so durability’s questionable
the structure works, so i’ll remake it with a real material

tiny dual-chamber alcohol stove
steel wool packed inside the inner chamber
calm top flame, no jets
5ml burns for a clean 12min
10ml brings 350ml to a boil
works surprisingly well

tiny 4g carbon felt stove
so small it fits inside a pocket stove
built-in felt chamber keeps the flame steady
runs 10min on just 5ml fuel and still brings 350ml to a boil

put it next to the Evernew and it looks almost toy-sized
runs 10min on 5ml fuel and still gets 350ml rolling boil
no stand, no windscreen needed
pretty solid lil stove setup tbh

used a same-size can and a lil joint part to connect them
