Can you use this strictly as a alcohol stove or is it necessary to use the cubes with alcohol in order to operate this stove? thanks

It's either alcohol or cubes not sure if it is even a possibility to use both at the same time. And actually I haven't even tried the cubes I've only used this as a alcohol stove and it works great. No to mention the cookware is very nice I highly recommend this.

You can use both,and the cubes work fine as well with alcohol,comes as shown,no cubes. Note" Buy alcohol from homedepot good prices,buy the green can 95% burns clean and hotter.

The stove can use both fuel sources. You don't need the fuel tabs to use the alcohol stove.

The handles are short. With small stove may be ok. But with regular size stove, u may burn ur hand.

I have been using mine this week with no issues, other than a slight smell. It burns clean as it is alcohol based. In a small, airtight room you may burn the oxygen but in a kitchen, open to the house, that will not happen. I know that a propane stove will put out CO2 and should not be used indoors.

I have used wood, a charcoal bricket, a tea light and an alchol burner. all have boiled water very well. so yes you can use other fuels with it.

The top burners are very different from other camp chef stoves. They definitely do not throw the heat that the rest do and yes you can throttle the fire back to simmer. The fuel/ air mix seems perfect, blue flame and NO soot to scrub off the outside of the pot. I think it does use more fuel than they claim,, but the small bottles are easy to carry and they can be refilled.

Have three of them so it's not just one result. NO - recommend a diffuser for this, example of heat is cast iron griddle for pancakes flame down so close as a hair from it shutting off poUr 4 pancakes best turn the first or will be very dark. With a diffuser easier to control. Great stove with this one modification.

Yes but I wouldn't think you would want to use more than one cube with your whiskey.

You can do as you like , but it is a scale model. They didn't design it to burn anything, and the surfaces that you may choose for the wax melting are very porous and wouldn't clean well. Glass and ceramic candle holders are smooth to aid the owner in keeping the item clean, this stove surface is VERY porous, it will never clean wax well or at all. Burning and cleaning were never part of this items design, proceed at your own risk.

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.

I have a gas stove and it works wonderfully. As long as you have a diffuser, which you must use, then you can use gas or electric. If you do not use the diffuser the tangine will crack.

I don't think this stove is for indoor use. I would not use this, however you might try contacting the mfg.

I'm curious about this as well, if the distance from the bottom will be too great or what. Perhaps one could use an alcohol stove with some wire to hold it up closer to the pot?

Yes, if done in a smart fashion, and depending on the fuel being used. Don't light this stove on carpet. If you're using gasoline then for sure don't use indoor. If using alcohol and on a hard non-flammable surface, I don't see a reason why not. Just use common sense, and remember that the stove gets hot, real hot.

FYI: you do NOT have to use the entire cube. You can just use a small amount of scrapings to ignite your fire and safe the cube for later. You can even ignite the cube, start your fire, then pull the cube out of the fire and pick it up, smother it in your hand and put it away for later use.

No. This is a wood burning stove, not only is it a fire hazard it's also a CO/smoke hazard. Like how you can't have an open fire indoors, nor can you use this stove indoors. The only possibility it may be safe is to use it in the fireplace, if you have a fireplace and you know how to use it.

Great question. yes and no. Out of the box the solo stove cannot simply because the pellets will fall through the wires that act as the fuel platform in the stove. That being said I simply took some heavy duty closed wire mesh and cut it into a circle that fit the bottom of the stove. That becomes a great breathable platform for the pellets.

It can be used with any heat source. The neat thing about the kettle is that you won't need liquid fuel if you can find leaves, wood pine cones, paper, etc... If you are above the vegitation line then alcholhol burner may make sense
