Methanol Gel

We used it for warming up blanco trays, because we dont have an electric buffet troley.

You're sure it was methanol?

as long as you're in a well ventilated area, you wont have any issues except idk if it will boil your water.

I wouldn't roast marshmallows over it, but it's perfectly fine to heat up a pot of keep a hotel pan warm.

>>7901614
Nope.

I tried it just now.


>set on picnic table
>lit
>placed flat bricks on either side
>placed grill over bricks and flame
>aluminum foil over grill
>set coffee pot full of water over
>waited 30 minutes

It never got hot enough to cause the siphon action. The flame was about 3 inches from the underside of the glass. Also the fumes gave me a headache even outside.

Guess I'll try something else.

They're just meant to keep chaffing dishes warm, not boil a pot of water. Think of a fondue pot where the cheese is already melted and you just need a little heat to keep it melted.

My next option is one of these.

However, this line is troubling
>7650 BTU

Going by my calculations this will take over an hour to boil 48 ounces of water.

just get a primus camp stove, they're like $20 and boil a liter of water in 3 minutes at sea level

Mein Gott, are you using british thermal units?

Not sure if Europe, poor (not anything wrong with that), or camping, but get yourself a percolator, like this (not necessarily this one: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/195044/Stansport-Camper-s-Cook-Ware-9/?cm_mmc=PLA-_-Google-Mobile-_-Printers_Scanners_Faxes-_-195044-VQ6-47886841556-VQ16-m-VQ17-pla-VQ18-online-VQ19-195044-VQ20-83662407476-VQ21--VQ22-176194796-VQ27-9134811236&gclid=CKbAkeHihc4CFQ2HaQodYK8HjQ, you can use it over an open flame, in a fire pit, indirect on a flat rock, or over a hobo stove ( metal coffee can with a door cut in it). Like other anime said those things are for keeping trays warm and hobos drunk

Or if at home buy a cheap French press & a tea kettle

Friend, I can boil a pot of water in ~5 min w one of these

>>7901959
I'm using this equation

>The amount of heat required = Water Volume (lb) x Temperature rise (°F) x 1 Btu/lb°F

What is it?

I already have these I'm just screwing around with a Vac pot for fun.

it's a small camp stove, that one looks like the little cheapy chinese one people recommend on /out/ a lot. you can get it on amazon for like $10 iirc. they work great and use these little $5 fuel canisters. they screw on and then you turn on the burner and light it. it's probably your best bet for what you want to do.

>>7902125
google and common sense suggests your equation is wrong
https://www.easycalculation.com/physics/thermodynamics/water-boiling-time-calculator.php

this site says ~5 minutes and 7k btu is the same as most large gas range burners or high end electric coil stoves

>>7902007
I have that same igniter. The cheap one off of amazon. I have yet to use it, how long does a fuel canister last you?

>>7904647
Not long, ~3 days. 1 canister will barely work well for a weekend camping innawoods cook for two, but that's traveling light. Coffee/dehydrated brekkie/dinner

If you go out w a gf or m8, have them pack an extra can, here in the States there are a lot of places where open fires are prohibited, & a lot of places where their cool, depending on the weather. Their cheap, and usefull to have in the pack.
