The xboil is the best. It's lightweight, is a pot stand, Extremely durable, its not expensive for what you get and it runs on liquid fuels or esbit or gel or Cooking oil (Pretty much anything except for gas.) 👍 Did I mention it doesn't even have to prime? 🤔

Those alcohol bricks would work perfectly with an old fashioned solid fuel folding army stove. That would solve your tipping problem for a cost of about $10 and weight of 4oz.

What about those Gorillas in the corners of the room??? (Altitude and Temperature) they should be addressed at least in the total point counts…

​@@hope2someday691He did mention cold weather performance some, but not altitude.

Temps below 32F (sea level) start to effect alcohol, by 20F they’re dead. The best canister stove will make it to about 11F. Adding altitude will also effect performance.

You’re living in the future

That's so cool!

Love Hacks Like yours!!! I specialize in them. after about twenty years... A consortium or website where everybody shares their cheap hacks

Are they absorb people stomach just compressed like a military tablet, hexane or trioxane? IE they are not a liquid absorbent stone?

The ones in individual packets? UK here so just checking I'm looking at the right ones....and thanks for the tip either way 👍

Girl Guides have been doing this for ever- we call it “soft soap”. Before liquid soap was widely available, we used to grate bars of soap and put them in a container with some water. It works a treat.

Was literally scrolling through the comments looking for this exact reply. Most of these would not fly during a burn ban. Now granted if you live and camp up north, you might not have that issue as often. But in Texas and many other south or west states, they are common and unfortunately chronic problems. *edit* just finished the video and saw he said this. Lol

The last minute of the video is all about this. It's like y'all didn't even watch it.

Thanks for this comment! Since a lot of us already have an investment in a stove and accessories, viewers may not watch the video to the end.

Funny a white gas stove with a valve would be considered more safe with potential for spills/leaks leading to uncontrolled fire much easier than one of these disks getting out of control. But hey it technically has a valve on the stove!

Was going to comment about that as well, I think that "fire safety" should have been one of the ranking catergories

Can you please tell me the name of the guy on Etsy? I can't seem to locate this product at all on it. Thanks!

Link?

@@erickacevedo7346 There's a link to the pill-bottle stove in this video's description. Click that, then the seller's name, and you'll find it among his other products. I've now been using it four months, and it's been great.

Or use a masonry hole saw and cut your own pizza stone disks. If Etsy guy can DIY them, you can too. Quit being a consumer and make something!

Can't I use sandstone rocks?

I used the esbit in the army and the best way to burn it is to scrape a thin 2inch groove in the sand. 4 inch deep. The sides hold the canteen.

I wonder how porous soapstone is and if its able to soak up alcohol or fuel. It's supposed to be the one stone that can hold onto heat the longest.

Yeah, I like Esbit fuel tabs too, my thoughts on them are that they’re a little expensive and produce trash that I then have to carry out of the woods, they smell when burning, and but they do work in ANY condition. I really like that, as where I live it’s either bone chilling cold or soaking wet. Sunny crisp days are very rare. 😂

Don't you mean you got a rock or something to contain the flames?

@@MafistoOU812 depends on the terrain. I was in the caprivi strip in Namibia and there are no stones. Just sand.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

At that point is it any different that a Starlyte or Kojin stove, just with stone instead of fluffy fiberglass as the wick material?

I will say that it was nice that it didn't spill like a alcohol stove would and spread fire

@@LeifWarner : Well, stone won't melt at combustion temperatures like fiberglass can.

@@deusexaethera Fiberglass doesn't melt. They use it as insulation in houses for a reason. Plenty of stoves are stuffed with fiberglass - including my everyday ones. It can soften past 1200 °C, though that's not an issue for wicking material, and your stove's not going to get anywhere near that hot.

No two minute intro either. Have you noticed every single video review they sniffle? Like everyone has a runny nose.

Soot is bad... zero soot with Pillbottle stove Tablets charged up with ethyl alcohol.

Agreed but you can make cleaning up afterwards easier by coating with soap and then using a scourer.

@@neotrekkUnfortunately those things don't look like they hold a whole lot of alcohol, and wouldn't burn for terribly long. Good for heating up a cup of water, but not for cooking a meal, since you'd have to constantly stop and wait for them to soak up more alcohol, during which time your food's getting colder. A regular alcohol stove if it runs out you fill just it back up immediately light the fire again with practically no downtime. Plus they're super easy to make, there's a billion videos on how to make them out of cut up soda cans and such. And if you store your alcohol in a squeeze bottle like for ketchup or something, you can use that nozzle to easily fill the stove and unscrew the whole cap to dump unburnt fuel back in for later.

That's why I use the Trangia. No mess with the alcohol.

Try carrying aluminum foil with you. Wrap the pot with foil before cooking. Then the foil gets dirty but not your pot. You can also wrap the inner part of your pot, too. Cuts down on clean up time immensely.

Very true. I don’t do a lot of simmering but I did include it in my assessment.

I love the speed of my brs 3000 but hate hate the jet engine noise. Toaks alcohol burner fits in my BushBuddy mini as a pot stand and wind screen. Twoferone. 4 ounces for the bush buddy twig stove, one ounce for the toaks. Carry the amount of alcohol one needs for the # days on trip but use the BushBuddy when I have time to sit and relax. No fuel shortage issues either. That MSR stuff sure is nice however. Great videos.

I used an alcohol stove (trangia mini) for a long trip across Europe, for which I cooked from scratch most nights. Absolutely no problems once you're used to it, and fuel availability was excellent

@@RobertSmith-up9rz I mostly wasn't in forests, and this was mostly over the less flammable seasons

@@RobertSmith-up9rz oh yeah, and I had it on a flameproof mat

But that's not the whole story, is it? You must have replaced the plunger in the pump and o-rings lots of times by now. And I bet it has clogged now and again? I took one camping to a windy place with blowing gypsum sand and could never get permanently unplugged after that. Your post inspires me to dust it off and try some more. Well, except the Windburner is so easy and trouble-free....

I as well still use my MSR Whisperlite stove bought in the early 1980s. I've replaced a o-ring or two but not many. It has been throughout the US and Canada with me and never failed. In fact, I bought my daughter the interational version a couple of years ago and she now loves them as well. If you get one it will be the last stove you'll ever need.

The dragon fly was my replacement for my whisperlite. Sounds like I’m taking off in a jet but allows me a wide range of cooking options.

YES, whisperlite international FTW... only bad in it is the unflexible hose

I’ve had my Whisperlite International stove for around 25 years and it still goes with me on every camping trip. It’s been a simple rock solid piece of kit for me, love it.

in a video we see only a quarter of a cup has been boiled, I believe it was not very good in efficiency after all

Maybe with a fold up windshield/stand to counter the stability issue

@Andy Topley I was thinking the fancy feast stove may also work... the main difference between the stones and other alcohol stoves is that the stones can be quickly blown out. Still not allowed on pct and other places I would imagine.

I would simply fill a screw top tin the similar size with vermiculite. Lighter and bio degradable and the lid can snuff out the flame.

I can't find the pill stove anywhere 😡

They are toxic.

I use the coghlan esbit knockoff. I found a mini m&m container is the perfect size to hold the tablets and very little odor. The esbit tabs may be a bit bigger and may not fit, I'm not sure.

I think this used to be the standard in my country when I was a kid, but I haven't seen any in years, so I think they're illegal here now because of their toxicity...

​@@robindartt1278 I use knockoff too and I use one table and also will use twigs aswell great for my tiny kettle 😁

Just use two tabs, blow whatever is left over out. then that with one next time. keep rotating, but don't waste time with only one, ever.

I’m glad you did. Thanks

I thought mine would last forever too. Had it over 20 years. The o-rings go bad and last time I used it the o-rings blew out and giant flames everywhere which melted my pump end ruining my stove. Thankfully I was at home testing and used a garden hose to put everything out, but if this was in the woods, then I would have just started a MASSIVE forest fire!!! GET those O-rings REPLACED if 20 years old. PRONTO. Please? You do not want a forest fire on your conscience.

Same. When he said he preferred a canister that burns twigs over the WhisperLite, I stopped listening.

I remember that. Now it's a badge of honor to do a 4-day with 15 lbs 😄 ...and a *lot* more fun.

@@_Solaris I agree. I can’t imagine how I started the Overland Track with just over 30kg (66 pounds) on my back. Must have been young.

@Grant Long I know man. I'm 57 and climbing passes & shoulders is more fun without the heavy grind.

I still rock my international multifuel for about 20 years now.

This review is subject to the reviewers perspective. Solid fuel stoves are a serious joke. Canisters? Land fill. The whisper lite kept me alive in negative 40 winter mountaineering. None of these others can come close

With 2 Stacked Tablets and the pot on top, only the perimeter is emitting alcohol. Knocked down you add the flat area, so bigger flames.

When those embers burn down to coal, you will never have a better stove for grilling up a steak or some beef short rib.

I agree. There's a reason why humans like to gather around a wood fire-not simply because they get the job done, but because it's warm, mesmerizing, enjoyable, etc. Mini wood stoves replicate that experience but on a smaller scale.

@@MurdersMachine Mmmm... some nice Maker's with that hot chocolate.

Same here. Firebox Nano for me, I love that thing!

Wood fires are wonderful... the smell, the flicker, their needing your attention and care. But cooking a meal fast and easy comes first... gotta eat before you can really enjoy the wood fire. Add a PillBottle stove to your pack.

it IS the best!

My only concern is that there pots are aluminum

@@SimplyLesa hi. They’ve all but disproven that theory about aluminum causing health issues. I think that’s why you can pick up titanium cookware for a song now. The only cook surface i DO stay away from is anything nonstick. That’s here at home and out there. Hope this helps.

@@SimplyLesa they have hard anodized aluminum and duossal (aluminum outside, stainless inside) nowadays. I don't like plain aluminum either :)

Mine is the hard anodized aluminum. The problem with aluminum is it leaching in highly acidic environments, but that problem is negated when it’s hard anodized, and that hard anodized layer is SUPER tough stuff. If you have an aluminum coffee percolator you use every day, yeah, it’ll kill you. If you just use it to boil water and cook non-acidic food while camping you’ll be totally fine. But again, I went the HA route because why the hell not.

has anyone tried that, I thought the same thing

The BTU output is maximum with two Tablets stacked and the pot sitting on top... no stand.

I haven't tried it. But, good idea to try. If you make some modifications to the Sterno stove works with a Trangia as well.

I couldn’t have done it without viewers like you. Thank you for the support

I was going to leave a similar comment, thanks for doing the work for me. Godspeed

Thank you for showing us these stoves and telling about the differences.

You are simping for a channel... I know you want attention but go get it from somebody in real life.

@@thomgizziz Says the troll account..... When arguing a point I'd recommend no name calling or overtly foul language. It's like inserting your foot into your mouth loosing all credibility before your point. Hope you learn "THOM" ;)

These are the two I use. Simple, easy and cheap. And reliable

Alcohol stoves don't work that well when it's cool. It's hard to set the alcohol on fire and it takes forever to smelt snow. Gas is not gas but liquid form so that don't work. The "white gas" stove I have tested had smal plastic parts that got brittle and broke the first time i tried it. So i don't know of any stove that works.

on cold condition put the alcohol container in your pocket or your sleeping bag. i use my trangia in the last 40 years in every weather condition including ice, storm rain heat etc

Yeah.... I carry that Toaks twig stove that was tested here. It doubles as a windshield for a small Trangia burner that I also carry. Honestly I use it most of the time with the Trangia burner, but sometimes it is nice to have a real fire also.

Trangia stoves are the swiss army knive of outdoor cooking. Simple, effective and every little part of it is well thought out, they even can be safely transported with fuel inside. One is enough for up to two people and in case the group gets bigger just add more of them under the pot, perfect scalability and easy to split the weight.

@francescorestivo6545 Hi, I hadn't heard of "Rock Wool" before, just looked it up online and one site says that it is dangerous due to the risk of inhaling microparticles, just like asbestos! Any comments? I am merely ignorant and not trying to argue.

Those car camping stoves are powerful! I did a test where I set out 16 stacks of two PillBottle Stove Tablets with a 5 gallon pot on top to cook crawfish.

I know from personal experience that porous stones also make good non-consumable wicks for burning gasoline in a controlled(ish) manner.

Porous stone lighters for home wood stoves have been in use for 60+ years.

Any liqued fuel will burn, but gasoline, E85, kersene, etc make soot. Ethyl alcohol 99.5% from Amazon is best overall. And no stand is best... the stack of two tablets delivers the optimum oxygen ration to the alcohol fumes and makes the hottest fire with the optimum size flame the just kisses the entire bottom of a 16oz cup, with no fire going up the sidies and going to waste.

The differences are: 1) no liquid in the PillBottle Stove, can't spill, 2) boilovers do not put out the fire and dilute the alcohol like they do in a cokecan stove, 3) cokecan alcohol stoves crush if you drop a heavy pot or step on them, 4) you can blow out the PillBottle stove like birthday cake candles, 5) no waiting 15 miutes for the cokecan to cool down so you can pour excess liquid to pour back into your fuel bottle ( 6) no waiting a minute or two for the sodacan stove to heat up and spit out the hot flames, 7) you can pick up the PillBottle stove tablets after 30 seconds and put them back in the bottle to recharge (in 6 minutes), 8) the PillBottle stove can burn any flammable fuel if necessary, your sodacan stove will explode if you try to burn gasoline, 9) you need a case to carry the sodacan stove in your pack or it will get bent and start leaking, 10) sodacan stoves have seams that leak, no seams on the PillBottle Stove.

How do I make one?

@@deusexaethera Just search UKposts. there are plenty of video's that show how to make one. It doesn't take long, or very many things or tools to make.

Yeah those flames are hard to see. Sometimes I’m like did I actually light it? And wave my hand over to make sure there are no flames…but I can see it being easy to have an accident

The Tablets blow out just like birthday cake candles.

Add a PillBottle Stove to your pack... with all your experence you will have a lot of fun using it. Even in your house.

I like that idea. Especially if your fire needs a little extra help in wet conditions. It's easier to store and reuse than single use fire starters. You could also set the stones side by side on a longer base instead of stacking them

If you set the tablets on a flat hard surface, a 16oz pot on top will not tip over unless you whack it. The Walmart 16oz SS cup ($6.45) has a depression in the middle the exact size of the Tablets, so that combo is very stable. If you set the Tablets on soft leaves and grass, it can tip over.... like any camp stove.

Still using the foldable cube sterno box I hauled around in scouting, but only as a surface and windbreak. Definitely not a "cooking with gas" sorta fella. haha

What i do is melt the wax in some tealight candles and stuff them with cotton to increase burning power. They last a lot less, but they are way faster at getting something to boil. I also keep some normal to give low power heat when necessary

Definitely! In Australia we have a lot of fire free months and high fire danger throughout so having something that immediately cuts off is amazing

I would use the pillbox in a tomato can with a port in bottom cut out. Solves the wind issue and wide base for the cup.

rather than using that wind break you could use a small metal pan with holes in the side, which would also make the whole thing stable.

Combined with a ti Firebox Nano. Safer, raised above the cylinder for hotter burn, pot is supported, windscreen is integrated. And you can burn sticks if you run out of fuel.

Except it doesn't. He just had an anomaly. Normally it stays lit cause all it is is porous rock.

It's like you have been driving an 19 wheeler and now you are on a Harley! It's FUN!

Not safe! Butane canisters are not designed to withstand the higher pressures of propane.

Yes, no stand needed. Actually cooks faster sitting on the Tablets than on a stand.

They look cool. Unfortunately I’ve never gotten to try one.

A little heavy? Weighs as much as my tent!

@@rgmALC it’s 2lbs and doesn’t require carrying fuel. That’s a better option than most on this list. PLUS it will power lights in your camp! Did you know that? It creates more electricity than it uses on the fan, so it can power USB lighting in your camp. I love my Biolite, yes the stove itself is heavier, but I have unlimited fuel, variable heat, plus power for lighting or charging devices. It’s the future. Lastly, the development of Biolite stoves was directed to address air pollution and 3rd world cooking over open flames. Very cool product and company.

@@Dirtsk8r it’s cool if you are car camping…but other than that, it’s way too heavy. It’s heavier than a UL wood stove and a power bank.

BTU transfer into the pot is maximum with pot on top of two Tablets and NO stand.

way too loud

@@NOSEBLOB While that is annoying for sure, its cleaner burn makes it healthier to use inside tents on very cold winter days when compared to the Whisperlite.

@@NOSEBLOB I love the sound

I agree..I use it at the cabin to make a quick coffee or soup right on the table..try that with a stick stove. It burns many different fuels..fast...and you don't have to recycle the tank. My fave..and loud..yes..but they have an insert to make it quiet out there too.

Our Boy Scout troop was not allowed to carry white gas... it can explode, where alcohol vapors cannot explode.

Even zip bags have not helped for me. I really felt like I was carrying smelly fish with me. If anyone can develop a no smell bag, take my money…

I used to use Esbit, but they STINK. The wife makes me put the cubes and stand 20 feet from the tent.

Oh, but I must disagree...MSR XGK2 is the champ for flat out snow melting... NO Simmering though

I had the whisperlite but my svea 123r has it beat- 2 moving part, self cleaning, built in tool, pot hand’e and pot

I'll have to check out that stove - sounds interesting! @@dannynye1731

The whisperlite is now self cleaning with the shaker, fwiw@@dannynye1731

Nice! Love the simplicity of those choices! I like the wood burning stove the emberlit when there’s plenty of wood. I like the solo wood burner when I’m stealthing because it doesn’t emit a lot of smoke and msr white gas when im deep winter snow camping and you have to process a lot of snow for drinking water and cooking.

Hi buddy 😻 we just bought the Stormbreaker and we want to try it with white gas too. In Romania after some Google searches we came up with the conclusion that the equivalent of white gas would be Neophal, which is naptha based like Coleman fuel (White gas) is. Any experience with this type of fuel? What kind of white gas ⛽️ do you use? Thank you 🙏🥰

@@hungryromanians You probably don't have to use any exact chemical formula for your burner. FWIW "white gas" is a generic term for no additives gasoline, and naphtha-based fuels. E.g. this Coleman thing changed its chemical contents several times through history, and people continue to use, and nothing essential has been broken as far as I can tell. I have Optimus white gas burner, and often use a type of gasoline marketed as a solvent in my country, and it works fine.

@@ac7202 we noticed that this Neophal is very similar to your typical solvent used to dilute paint 🎨😀

@@hungryromanians Well I'm from Germany and what I'm using is "Waschbenzin" (basically the solvent that @A/C uses) which I think is just white gasoline. But you can just use standard gasoline from the gas station, it'll just be not as good for the burner and is not recommended(Only use if you can't get any white gasoline!). A friend of mine said it can even run with Diesel but I'm not sure if he ever tried that, although I for sure didn't try ^^ I gotta admit though, when I was in northern Sweden I had no idea where to get white gasoline and just filled two bottles with standard gas and the burner still worked like a charm after 2.5 weeks of use. And back then I still had a crappy MSR burner...

@@jonasklein7260 I am also in Germany (but English) and used white gas/ petrol stoves for the last 50 years or so, as I camp from a motorcycle weight isn't the most important so I use a Coleman Sporster (doesn't need preheating, the Soto one doesn't either) either on waschbenzine, car painters panel wipe or when on tour just fuel from the bike. I've run four weeks on normal petrol before needing to clean the vaporisor tube though if you run some white gas for a while through it clears it a bit. Carb cleaner works well to clear it out. Somewhere on the internet is an extensive table of what all the fuels are called in various countries.

It's bulky, heavy and disposable, but Sterno cans are really easy to light with a Ferro rod in the rain. And they sometimes stock them at the dollar tree.

Consider me for a tester! I do bike packing trips with video.

Z EX

Excited to hear about what you craft.

@@danielmejorado6098 Hi, here is an update for you. After making lots of little puck prototypes of different designs and different solid absorbent materials, I came to the conclusion that in a real world applications a high quality carbon felt in a tin was the best solution. Extremely small and lightweight to carry, does not leak, charges up instantly with total absorption of the amount of fuel to boil 2 cups of water and then can be recharged instantly again if needed. There are different grades of carbon felt, I tried two versions of the felt and also two solid versions. The solid types are really nice. but not very durable. The highest quality felt was perfect, really good stuff but quite expensive at about £150 a square meter with a min spend of seven meters. Having said that I could get quite a few disks from one meter. I tested this material against various types of absorbent ceramic wool, but the high quality carbon felt was the best and also safest material to use. I was thinking to go ahead and make them for sale even with the initial cost, I even bought a hundred tin containers for them and some steel dies to cut the disks, However, somehow life took a turn at that time with my health situation and all that plus other things were put on hold and probably now shelved for good. It's a shame I guess as I put a lot of time into the project and the little stove is better I believe than other similar products just due to the quality of the really hard to find material (that was a story in itself). As a hobby it would be cool to make these because I'm proud of the product, but I just don't have the energy to actually organize making and selling them anymore. Oh, I forgot, I did a lot more research on wind screens. It is true that with a solid puck one can rest a cup directly on the puck itself if need be, which is nice. So I designed the carbon felt stove in a way that resting a cup on it is also possible, but having a wind guard and the cup an inch off the stove is way better efficiency regardless of what is the heat source. I bought a couple of screens to try and used cad to design some concepts which I think would be a perfect companion to the stoves, but never had them made for the aforementioned health reasons. I'm fully of the opinion that this little stove when especially used with a wind screen stand made specifically for the purpose would be a wonderfully practical, portable, lightweight, simple to use and affordable bit of kit. It was fun and I'll never say never because maybe someone else will take if and produce such a thing one day.

I completely agree! I'm going with a similar setup. Thinking of the Picogrill 85g and my diy alcohol stove, to be paired with something like the Soto navigator (for actual cooking). Maybe the ALOCS CW-CO5 set is better being able to do alcohol/wood/gas/solid

And you are helping prevent raging forest fires. Cleaning up under brush.

Love the Stanley adventure. A little chunky but so freakin' tough & versatile.

I remember reading that in the desert the SAS used to cook over a can full of sand soaked in petrol. Light it, and hey presto. I don't know how they put it out though

When you set the Tablets on a flat hard surface, and use a 16oz cup, it is very stable... more so than a foot tall canister stove.

His "act together??" Who are you kidding? NONE of the heat sources he reviewed other than the white gas(real stove) can you actually cook a meal on... Most of the heat sources he review cannot even heat water for a group... only his own ass. Should have been titled: Bull Shit review of solo hiker loners who only eat Crap dehydrated "meals" where you cannot take these sources of heat into National Forest due to unregulated flames during the high summer months...

Can see the advantages of multi fuel stoves but I'm put off by the unpleasantness of dealing with gasoline or diesel and the concern that a small spill would stink up my whole backpack contents.

Folks who don't use multi-fuel stoves will never quite get why we choose to take the extra 4 or 5 oz. extra, if even that. Multi-fuel stoves typically use diesel, gasoline, or kerosene. All of which have much higher energy density than butane, propane, or isobutane (propane/butane mixes). For longer duration trips, multi-fuel stoves will win out in the weigh comparisons. In addition, many canister stoves start failing below 0F (-12C) after a few uses. From experience, this appears to be due to the propane and butane mixtures separating. Once the propane is exhausted, the butane can no longer be extracted from the canisters. All of this is to say nothing of the fine points that you've raised.

@@Carniak The energy density issue became clear to me using an alcohol stove for longer trips. For a day trip the alcohol stove is probably the lightest option, but above 2 days the fuel weight you have to carry becomes significant. So far as I know alcohol fuel is fine to use at any temperature you can encounter on earth, but it's about half the energy density of hydrocarbons.

@@TerryClarkAccordioncrazy I definitely understand the smell issues however it really isn't that bad. I put mine in the bag with no issues. I can go about 5-(6 if lucky) days with a small can. This includes cold weather and cooking twice a day. I would use the lowest grade fuel possible 85. This has better efficiency and less residue than the higher octane fuels. Just something I've noticed.

@@Carniak I totally agree. I would like to add that these stoves are great for people who also cook non-packet food. I mostly take potatoes, fresh vegetables, rice, oatmeal, and spices. This stove has improved my ability to go further. Just like the fuel being more energy dense my food selections can also be more energy dense.

Seriously though I love my jet boil. I will never go back

what's in your blend of burning liquids?

The Pillbottle stove tablets cool down is 30 seconds, that is very handy for recharging them over and over for big cooks

You can also add solid fuel to the list with a bit of modification. I really like the system, plus you can have a nice cozy fire when you want it which is very nice. Doing "sweedish fire" style makes it burn forever without needing to add more fuel which is sweet if you want to simmer something over a longer time or something like that

I love wood campfires, but cooking dinner ain't fun on a wood stove, or a stove with lots of parts and pieces that I will surely lose or misplace. We invented the PillBottle stove to make cooking reliable, simple, and ultralight.

Can it fit onto a 20 lb propane tank?

Yeah, and only 1 stone instead of 2. I'm not quite sure it would burn the same, though.

There is a bigger version - the Paintcan Stove, 3" pucks

We now sell the big brother, the PaintCan stove with stones the size of a hocky puck.
