Cooking with Gas, well, gasoline deicer anyway! Heet

 Starting with a cat food (aluminum) can.  After M fed the cats, I cleaned the can and taped a  strip of grid paper and marked every other grid near the top, then punched the wholes with a Walmart $0.97 hole punch.  Then punched the second row just below and centered to the top row.

 Using a 12 oz canned chicken can (steel) as a pot and the water started at 65.7*F.

Most YouTube demos use a  16 oz pot with lid, but the Titanium pot I want is $50and  so it will have to wait a while, closer to hike time!

 My supplies for the test run included a clock for timing, and a Harbor Freight digital thermometer for measurement.   The fuel used is Heet, a gas line deicer, which is mostly alcohol, 16oz for $1.67.

 I did not measure the fuel used, but would guess about 1/2 oz.  You can see it in this photo, so make your own guess.

 Ignition! Allow a few seconds or so for the stove to "prime."  This allows the stove and fuel to heat up and the the alcohol will start vaporizing and flame will turn blue.

The pot is on the stove, note the time!

Nice blue flame, if you can see it.

111.2*F

128.8* F

190.4*F  Those are just bubbles on the side of the pot, it is not boiling yet!

203.9*F

Hard boil @ ~204* F!  The elevation here is ~4500 Ft above sea level, and that is the boiling point of water here!

 And, 204*F is the perfect temp to brew coffee!






Twelve oz of water boiled in less than eight minutes, light to boil!  I may make another stove with less and/or smaller holes to use for simmering as there are no adjustments to this stove.  I have not bought my digital scales yet, but, my guess is less than an oz for the stove!

I may have to get a video camera and start a YouTube account,...  Not!  But, thanks to all the YouTube contributors for making this stove happen!
