Greetings from Hull.
By way of hello here's my 49p 38g meths stove. Made recently from a hairdressers spray bottle. Think it was from home bargains.
Pleased to say that it works! Boiled 500ml of water in about 5:30.

Anyway, i'm signed up for the WRT so it'll be getting used then if not before.

Does the flame turn blue with a pot on? I'm assuming you're putting the pot straight on top of the stove?

Yeah they turn blue with the pot on top. Will try to post a picture

This is the stove last night brewing up. Little yellow tips to the flames but no soot on bottom of pan afterwards:

Nice work there. Can't beat a bit of stove making.
Welcome to the forum.

My first stove was a pop can one, worked fine but rather fuel hungry.

Thanks very much. Not sure how thirsty this is. Will have to work out fuel consumption at some point.
I know that it boils a brews worth of water in about half the time of my stainless tatonka burner!

Thanks norm. Any tips on a suitable container to turn into an 8g stove clone?
