[QUOTE="HUAINAMACHERO, post: 348966, member: 13040"] Finally tried it on the field. After all the process of doing research about alcohol stoves, and building some of them, I got to finally try them out. I went for a predator hunt and goose hunt in northern Mexico, it was around 50ºF, and I prepared breakfast with my little stove. I used pure methanol, 40ml in the stove and lasted long enough for the test and cooking.:) I build a windscreen that didnt work so ended putting a cooler and some boxes as seats as a wind protection device (it wasnt backpacking I know, but it was a field test), I made scrambled eggs with sausage in less than 8 minutes.

The ideal test would have been to boil water and measure the boiling time, but I guess that if I can cook with them, they work!!! What type of aluminum foil can I get to build a good windscreen, regular aluminum foil wont make it because it falls around and breaks very easily, does anyone know where can I get thick aluminum foil for a windscreen? and what type: brand or name? Thanks!!! [/QUOTE]
