From my experience, the knock-offs are just missing wick between the walls. Seems a silly over-sight by them as it wouldn't take much to have included it.
Depending where you got it you might be able to send it back.Yeh, I’ve had another knockoff a while back but this one mentioned a ‘wick’ in the listing which has now been removed. Something for the gear cupboard hah.
Amazon have always been pretty decent when it comes to returns. This one was from eBay and I was refunded but told to keep stove as it would cost more to return. I think I paid £12 for it initially.Depending where you got it you might be able to send it back.
I got one off amazon few years back, think I was on a prime trail at the time. Wrote back to them saying it took 2mins or so to be able to get to a working state which made it useless for it's purpose, they took it back no problem, even sent someone to the house to collect if I mind right.
I then got the evernew one for around £25, I use it for winter day hikes to make tea, very inefficient on fuel but am on a day hike.
Neat job Dave. Looks sweet as. I have the similar one from Dutch but due to the constantly dry conditions and the bloody monster flame that comes out of it I've been hesitant to use it. Is the flame from this higher than the one you'd get from the other metho stoves?Double walled alcohol stove. I bought a Evernew knockoff a few weeks ago and it was awful, circa 2 minutes until it even bloomed and poor performance after that, I thought I would have a go at making one. The MYOG version blooms in 19 seconds, more efficient and boils 500ml water much much faster.
Now I know it works, I will probably make a cleaner, tidier version.

Thanks yes.@gamemaster84 poles are 125cm. Less on the A-frame. Might try single pole with a pole jack which is how I set up my Trailstar if I’m using my inner.
is that what you are thinking?
I wanted to try different heights, even took the pole jack but between..
“Gerrof moy land” and “Daddy.. I can’t feel my feet”...
I had to cut it short

I'd like to try and make one myself but there are so many kinds of guides... Could you tell me how you made this one? Or point me to a good guide?Double walled alcohol stove.
