Can I use Fuel Tablets in the alcohol burning stove?

Yes,I carry alcohol and fuel tabs with me on camping trips.And both work great on this burner.

Not in the stove itself, the kit comes with a special stand to put fuel tablets on. The alcohol burning stove is seperate and can be removed.

Yes, the fuel tablet will burn when used inside the stove. My test results: the tablet burned for 15 minutes under a 1 quart pan with 1 pint of water, indoors. Using a lid the water NEVER came to a boil but the water was steaming and I could still put my finger in it. You'll need a lighter with a long neck on it (BBQ style). I'd stick with alcohol. The flames from the fuel tablet were farther away from the pan than the flame from the stove burning alcohol.

This stove has a platform that you put the tablet on and light. Or you can use the alcohol burner - your choice. We carried both alcohol and solid fuel tablets on our Yellowstone backpacking trip and used both to good effect.

Yes. You don't put the tab in the stove, but this kit had a stand for use with fuel tabs. It's great because you have the option to use either the alcohol stove or fuel tabs.

Yes you can if you are talking about the 5 piece trekking cookset . In the picture they show on Amazon , the stove is under the cup , and the stand for the fuel tabs is shown to the right .

use the supplied fuel tab stand for those. Alcohol stones are great for getting water to a boil, the fuel tabs arent for boiling, most of the time one tab wont get water to boil, but they are great for getting your soup nice and hot. Sometimes Ill use alcohol to get it to a boil and then switch to a tab for simmering

I do not believe you can. The trailer systems are pressure regulated at the propane bottles. The stove pressure regulator is the connector to the stove itself and designed to have propane bottle pressure at the connector regulator. Tapping into your external gas tap would give you a low pressure problem at the stove. I would not do it. Buy the adapter hose and run it off a 20lb or 10lb propane bottle. I use a 10lb bottle I got from camping world it is small and stores easily. Saves $ by not using the disposable bottles. Hope this helps.

Yes and so will the Trangia alcohol burner. Realize though the up draft will get very vigorous. I strongly suggest you find a tin can to place in the throat of your rocket stove, to elevate your burners, to prevent the rapid consumption of the fuel, Sterno or alcohol and prevent it blazing like a blowtorch. It will believe me. Point is, find that sweet spot for the flame under your pot or skillet. Added bonus, your fuel last longer. To give enough air for your fuel, pick a can to set your sterno or trangia, that is small enough to allow the draft to still work. Or if you like, weld up a little platform to fit in the throat of your rocket stove. Have fun.

Yes, by itself with alcohol stove (Trangia or the knock-offs) its okay but Esbit or the other tabs (Sportsmansguide and Coghan brands I think) you will want additional wind protection because solid fuel type flames are even lower velocity compared to alcohol jets and just need to keep centered on the cup or pot its heating. Just make sure enough air gets to the burning tab or alcohol flame to keep it hot. Or else set up behind a log or rock or even your pack for additional windblock.

I don't see why it couldn't but look up chemical composition and fumes and see if thats alright with you. The flames aren't extreme or anything so it's fine. I agree, the tablets smell like fish that has been out for a while.

I am not sure what a Esbit Alcohol Burner is... however it is a very small unit about the size of a large coffee cup... so you only have a few inches inside for fuel... however, the buttom portion comes off and can work with any situation or fuel type.

The wires are made of nichrome. Its melting point is 2195.33F, so you should be fine. However, the higher heat, the faster the oxidation. You could burn Bleuet fuel or esbit in it, however you should consider bringing a small metal plate(top of a soup can filed down) to set the tablet on. This will prevent it from falling through the wires and disperses a lot of the direct heat.

I would not use petrol typically you would use alcohol.petrol does not.burn hot.enough to be effective

I would not try and convert it this to an alcohol stove; could be very dangerous with that much fuel. Alcohol stoves hold only 2 to 3 ozs of fuel. The Kelly Kettle works very well for boiling a large volume of water quickly due to it's unique design.

I have no idea. In fact, if you figure it out, please let me know. I currently have a dozen of these things that I bought to go with a "countertop" gas burner. When I got the burner, it turned out that I could not use it indoors (which was not mentioned in the description or particulars). I returned the burner, but federal law prohibits me from returning the fuel, so I am stuck with them and cannot figure out how to use them on anything else.

Rubbing alcohol works, but burns sooty and not very hot. Denatured alcohol works much better and is what the stove was designed for.

I've never dealt with an alcohol stove. We use it on the gas burners on the stove in our RV. The spark comes out the tip of the lighter. So you need to aim the tip right on the burner. It took us a while to get the hang of it but it works fine.

It is my understanding that this fuel is for cooking such as a campfire stove I would not attempt to use it for soldering it can explode and or cause fire. The fuel is also under pressure.

I wouldn't recommend using any other fuel source unless directed on the stove!! I have a micro rocket and it uses only one fuel source and I don't use anything but what it's designed for!!

No, I wouldn't even try. Alcohol is much more flammable than kerosene and lamp oil. It's also more expensive. It's always better and safer to use the fuel the appliance was designed for. It does burn very well in stoves designed for alcohol use.

Yes, that will work just fine with the bottles. There are a couple of MSR stove model types that allow for the use of gasoline, though they gunk of the stoves a bit. So they are made to be able to use a couple of different fuel types, diesel as well. Hope that helps.

it's a multi fuel stove. If you'll use a liquid fuel (gasoline, petrol, benzine) - you need a pump (it's included in the package ofcourse). If you'd like to usea gas (butan, propan) - you don't need a pump
