Can an alcohol stove, spirit size, be used effectively in this larger stove instead of biomass?

I don't think it would be effective no, you could get it in when it was cold, but unless you put something under it, it would be far below the optimum 1" level from flame, I have a transient model stove and it was quite clear to methey would never see each other in use.

Should be no reason it wouldn't, but I'm not sure what the dimensions of your alcohol stove are. If it fits inside the stove, it would work.

Try the alcohol stove. You can make it in about fifteen minutes with just two aluminum cans. I used to used canister stoves on my ultralight journeys, but if you're only boiling water for the most part, they are so light. You can't even buy them. Just Google penny stove if you wanna give it a try

We have the stove top installed in our boat. It is hooked up to a regular propane bottle.

yes, like most wick source flames, we can pull out more for a larger flame and pull it down for a smaller flame. the fuel you use will also affect the size of the flame. we are now using/making our own alcohol based fuel to reduce the amount of black smoke (which was quite a bit with 8 torches going in our yard); the alcohol flame is less robust than when using Tiki fuel, but we just made the wick longer and it was fine. our smog problem is pretty much gone now too.

Please visit the following website: http://swissarmytrangia.blogspot.com/ It's an article about the Swedish army Trangia stove that you'll probably find interesting. But to answer your question, toward the bottom of the article the author goes into a fair amount of detail about what types of fuel can be burned in the Trangia. 91% rubbing alcohol will work but according to the author is not recommended. Denatured alcohol has been described as the best overall fuel.

You'll be able to see the stove heating element glowing through the glass, and you may be wasting some electricity, but other than that it should work fine on the larger burner. I would cook on the smaller unless there was some issue. The bottom is flat and considerably smaller than the bowl.

You could use a butane stove inside the house and many folks also use alcohol cans to keep foods hot on a buffet. These produce so low of a level of CM that it would dissipate before the stove is cold after use. However attempting to do the same in a closet for example and the results are the same for a tent, the consumption of oxygene with the added CM over time is deadly.

Yes, by itself with alcohol stove (Trangia or the knock-offs) its okay but Esbit or the other tabs (Sportsmansguide and Coghan brands I think) you will want additional wind protection because solid fuel type flames are even lower velocity compared to alcohol jets and just need to keep centered on the cup or pot its heating. Just make sure enough air gets to the burning tab or alcohol flame to keep it hot. Or else set up behind a log or rock or even your pack for additional windblock.

I Would Say Possibly. It Is Meant For Solid Fuel Cubes Such As Esbit Or Wetfire But You Might Be Able To Fit A Small Alcohol Stove Inside. -Outdoorsman7749-

You can do as you like , but it is a scale model. They didn't design it to burn anything, and the surfaces that you may choose for the wax melting are very porous and wouldn't clean well. Glass and ceramic candle holders are smooth to aid the owner in keeping the item clean, this stove surface is VERY porous, it will never clean wax well or at all. Burning and cleaning were never part of this items design, proceed at your own risk.

NO, do not use any other fuels in an alcohol stove it could be deadly, other fuels are meant for pressurized stoves and to powerful for this stove.

This stove has a platform that you put the tablet on and light. Or you can use the alcohol burner - your choice. We carried both alcohol and solid fuel tablets on our Yellowstone backpacking trip and used both to good effect.

Yes, you can, but I would not unless you had to. There are some safety issues, if you do have to use isopropyl alcohol do not fill the stove full is will spit and become more of a safety hazard. Fill no more than Half full. It will also produce more black suit. With most flare up issues it is due to filling the stove to full and the fluid expands, so instead of burning just the vapor. How the stove works is that heat of the initial flame, turns the liquid into a vapor, then just the vapor is burned. This has to happen for the stove to work correctly. This is also how you can get a very hot flame that burns for so long from such a small amount of fuel. Yes, you can, but I would not unless you had to.

yup you burn it in the stove. Suppost to use every time you put wood in but about a teaspoon a day should work, if its an outside boiler- use about 2 teaspoons a day. should work well.

I would not try and convert it this to an alcohol stove; could be very dangerous with that much fuel. Alcohol stoves hold only 2 to 3 ozs of fuel. The Kelly Kettle works very well for boiling a large volume of water quickly due to it's unique design.

Search "Alcohol Stove Fuel, which is best? Six Alcohol Fuels Directly Compared in a 6 Fuel Shoot Out" on youtube. They go in depth about different alcohol stove fuels. Heet is a good choice, Iso is not.

I suggest writing the manufacturer to play it safe. From my own experience, I don't think wood is going to be an issue as the concentrated blue flames of a gas micro/pocket rocket leave no damaging effects. Few open wood fires burn that hot. Large orange flames in the Bioliite Stove could be a concern as XTS Pot has a plastic lid, and the plastic on the handles will melt.
