this stove has an aluminum inner wall to control vaporization it works but it traps more heat inside and the carbon felt wears faster

CF stove for rice in an Esbit setup turns into something else just about half an ounce of fuel and it’ll run for an hour more like simmer / keep-warm now

tapioca starch texture’s really good

kinda nice

vents offset vs inline offset layout — vents slightly staggered air cuts sideways a bit fuel and oxygen mix a bit harder heat jumps fast, boils quick doesn’t really stay there tho long low-fuel runs get kinda unstable heat stacks up… then drifts

today’s batch

i started building a carbon felt stove just for cooking rice and a couple things stood out heat progression matters more than expected low → medium → high → medium → low → very low and it’s influenced more by the pot stand than the stove itself

so cute but a tad loose

first gen playstation is cyberpunk the shock of touching it for the first time is still with me in my head even ghost in the shell and neuromancer have never topped that

i’ve been getting inquiries and now i’m producing them in batches my machining precision keeps leveling up what am i even turning into

I built a carbon felt stove from a soda can the steel-can pot stand slots perfectly into the recessed top the way it comes together is pretty much what I wanted really satisfying

(((ﾉ´□｀)ﾉ :･'.::･〓■●~

came out for coffee that’s it perfect weather

today’s mp3 player sound’s kinda meh not convenient lowkey toy-core still into this type of gear

my bar for happiness is lower than you’d think but it doesn’t cover much if anything, it’s pretty narrow

drilled a hole in the lid of my square cooker …fun works as a steam vent too but mostly i just like making my gear a little more mine

fun!

brewing coffee and remembering why i love Evernew the Ti 900 pot + their stove just look unfair together that titanium blue hits different and being able to set it straight on the ground? kinda unbeatable out of all the store-bought alcohol stoves, this one’s still my #1

the biggest advantage of a carbon felt stove is that cold doesnt really matter i mostly use my stoves in the mountains so alcohol stoves that need long preheating just arent an option for me

tuning the burn for cooking rice medium to strong to low i built a three layer inner wall each layer packed with carbon felt trying to shape the burn curve instead of just pushing more flame

trying to quantify the potential of a CF stove kind of a reckless test how much rice can i cook with just 0.7 fl oz of fuel

testing a CF stove tuned just for cooking rice 0.4 fl oz fuel 1–5 min: low → medium 6–13: strong 13–20: low again rice came out perfect! adding an aluminum inner wall and running the carbon felt as a double layer seems to have made the difference
