Famgee Outdoor Mini Portable Alcohol Stove Burner for Backpacking Hiking Camping Survival

I love this little stove. It's dead simple and very compact. The stand is nice too (altho I had to bend it a smidge to get it to properly support the stove.I like how the fuel is non-toxic (well, it's toxic, but nothing you have to be concerned about getting on your hands) and one really doesn't have to worry about spills -- it just evaporates awayThe one thing about it tho, is that alcohol doesn't have a huge energy density. One filling of the stove will heat a medium camp pot of water, but that's about it. If you're cooking for a large group, expect to refill the stove over and over (which is a bit of a trick if it's still hot from just having run out). You have to plan for this when you carry fuel too. I just got back from a 5-night camping trip and went thru two quarts of fuel cooking for a group of 5.So, the stove is great, but there are downsides.

This is my first alcohol burner. The product itself works great. It just doesnt produce alot of heat. I learned that you need a high percentage of alcohol so that it catches on fire instantly. Instead of having a flame over it for 2 minutes waiting to catch on fire. 91% alcohol is what i now use and it works like a charm. The main reason why i bought this was for out door use to cook food. You know, boil up water, heat canned goods. One night i boiled up some water using this to heat up on a small pot(3 inches deep, 5 inches wide) that fit perfectly on top of this burner. For one, it took like 10 minutes to get the water to be hot. I dont really remember if it was ever on a boiling state. Secondly, which is the worst part, the alcohol flame contaminated the water with a horrible fume flavor! This isnt the burners fault, its just science i guess. So now this item is useless for what i had it planned for. All i see it can be used for now, is maybe a mini camp fire to keep warm around. And use it to make other things catch on fire. 4 stars because the item itself works great. It just didnt boil up the pot that i bought specifically for this burner because i thought it will be able to boil the amount of water the small pot can hold. After my experience, now I just wont use it for anything that you plan to heat up for consumption.

Stove worked good but right out of the box the tabs on the stove holder were bent in to the point the stove would not fit in the holder. I fixed that by bending them outward. The next thing was the latch tab on the simmer was bent inward to the point it wouldn't close all the way. Had to bend the tab outward. The threads on the cap and stove itself are pressed into the metal of both parts and the cap cant be tightened so the fuel don't leak out. It acts loke the yhreads are stripped and can't be tightened at all. Therefore fuel can't be stored in it. The stove works great it just has a few flaws. I'm goining to give it two stars because it does work good.

Nice stove and holder. Stove does work, but I believe the burner holes are to close to the rim unlike the original trangia. You should be able set a pot right on it once it comes full bloom, but I was unsucessful in doing. Other than that, it does burn good and you are able to cook using the stand.

Absolutely love it boils water quick stand is nice and sturdy.

Exactly as advertised. 100% happy with this stove

Works as intended. Got this for “just in case” scenarios since midwestern weather is unpredictable.

Works great. I would recommend this product.
