Gross stupidity with an alcohol stove

[Philtrum]

Hmmmmmm. I wonder if I could light my little Peterson "nose warmer" with a firesteel? Maybe while lighting a stove?

Aha ... a man who knows a good pipe. Petersons are second only to meerschaums.

I love my little White box stove! I carry one all the time whether day hiking for a quick brew-up, or in my ditch kit when tripping. just like everything else there is a learning curve and some safety issues to consider. biggest is try to use it in the shade so you can see the flame. next is have patience- wait for the flame to come out the ports, and wait for it to burn out and cool.
As with any stove, size your pot to the burner- my sierra cup is perfect, and the stove and windscreen fit inside fine.

I ordered a Solo Stove today from sportsmans guide to possible replace my much modified swiss army volcano stove. next fall I will write a review.
