I loved everything about this video. Tip: you do not need from 0 to 70 degrees on the y axis -- just start at 70. I am about to get a windscreen for my trangia. Vey useful information.
I like how you included what you said you would in the description... Couldn't see the graph well enough (too far from camera, and colors not too distinct) but otherwise it was a great vid
Wanna know the greatest alcohol stove based cooking and boiling system of all time? The Trangia 27 non-stick cookset. I have literally used it in 40mph (64kph) winds with no wind protection other than the windscreen that is part of the Trangia, and I was still able to cook food in the pots and on the non-stick pan within 15 minutes and boil water in under 10 minutes... It only suffers from the same basic drawback of any alcohol stove, which is that the high winds will mean you go through WAY more fuel. A completely filled up Trangia spirit burner in windless conditions will burn for approximately 40 minutes, but that same amount of fuel will be gone in under 20 minutes in high winds due to the heightened amount of available oxygen gusting past it.
narrower and tall. a windscreen does more than protect from wind. It reflects and directs heat. a tall somewhat narrow windscreen will reflect heat from the pot back to the pot. it will also channel heat from the burner up the sides of the pot heating the pot better.
Please make that other video! I have a propane/isobutane stove and I'm thinking of getting an alcohol stove. Maybe an overall comparison between the two systems? Efficiency, weight, simplicity, availability. Isobutane canisters are almost impossible to find, I had to buy a Lixada adapter so I can connect my MSR Pocket Rocket to a Coleman propane tank
That's a really inefficient potstand that you used on the Trangia. You need to use a potstand with a larger distance between the pot and the Trangia to get better performance out of the Trangia.

You had me when you mentioned the graph. Thanks for the video!

Fantastic! Very good analysis, helped me understand how big to make my windscreen.

I dig it! Are these two of the better alcohols stoves on the market? Great info man!
Great testing, thanks man.
That's some good science.
I like your methodical and exact approach to boil testing, but you didn't put all the info in the description.
Great video....
How much is he floggn the whitebox for?
Why not have done a spreadsheet graph aha
good vid mate
Great video testing bro oh yeah
You looks like Mario brothers 😂😂😂
I would have made 6 cups of tea :)
Don't even worry about it man. I get up every day, give 210% and still never make it to the end of my work load, so believe me I get it :)
But there's no wind... 🤔
When you're outside, there's always wind. Even if you don't notice it.
