wow!! it is so cool!!
Can it reuse? I mean only refill alcohol but don’t change the toilet paper.
can u use metho
But in a long term survival situation, toilet paper is too valuable to waste on making a heater.
does it work with normal 96º alcohol ?
God bless u
how long will it born for the small one
where can you buy the 70% alcohol. i went to 99c store and all they have is 50% isophrophyll.
all my roads are impossible to drive on and 50% is all i have and no power and i have my son with me, please tell me 50% will work
This is so awesome, I did it today with my empty fuel gel cans. I did not put enough alcohol so I will do it again.
Can you use bioethanol instead
great video but I would have love to see you make a grill cheese sandwich on the little stove
Can you do with lamp oil
Could u use a Kevlar type material and keep relighting it? They use that material for fire poi
Excellent! If the power goes off in the winter, you can still keep the family warm AND fix them a hot meal (summer too, but it would sure heat up the house if you used it inside). Thank you for posting.
I tried this but I only had 50% alcohol is that why mine won’t stay lite?
What else can I use besides rubbing alchohol ? Can I use newspaper and without smoke?
Have you tried or heard of anyone using these in a alcohol gel fireplace? Would it work?
Thanks for sharing your ideas….however had a questions would this work also using the candle and fan heater shown in your videos…or would the flames be to high to try it….thanks look forward to your response…
Ok, I just made one and it works great, but how long before you need a new TP roll? does it just keep going for a long time as long as it’s full of alcohol, or must you change the TP roll with every refill of alcohol? Gratitude for the vid.
Used this method for years for camping & etc..it also great to keep a large can in your vehicle,for those cold winter areas..great for heating a vehicle if broke down..it produces not toxic fumes..so it can be used in confined areas.
very nice idea, thank you so much. how long the fire stays in different sizes?
How long will a burn until it goes out
Question is wich country yuo can find alcohol 70% ? As you have in your film. In many countrys you don’t find such alcohol, maybe kerosin then ?
You are so awesome.
Can you reignite by pouring in more alcohol once it goes out, or do you have to change the roll?
Thanks For The Info I will be doing this ASAP save Money
could you drill a hole in the bottom of the can and hook up a dripper to a long line of alcohol for constant feed?
How long would they burn ?
Nice!!!
Ima use this for ice fishing
If you really want to use it as a heater add a pipe over the top of it and a fan behind it.
I got about 1 hr burn time when using a soup can. I am going to use a paint can and have some spare lids so I can experiment with different diameter holes to increase burn time.
I currently use a buffet heater which burns 6 hrs but can get costly. I put it in a coffee can turned on its side and use them when hunting. One under my seat and one dug into the ground with a steel grate over it.
Fantastic I am going to have a go at that asap. Good for power cuts.
Great idea .. Thanks ..
Reuse cans from the kitchen Great and save heat bill as well 😀
As the alcohol burns off you can just had more and continue to use the same wick
