Reusing empty cans! The portable alcohol stove set makes “coffee at the summit” incredibly delicious

After climbing the mountain and sitting down, I boil water with a small flame to brew coffee. For that one cup, I want to walk that path again. You don't need large cooking tools; just a little fire to boil some water is enough. The "portable alcohol stove set made from empty cans" is the perfect gear set for such breaks during mountain climbing.

Born from an empty can, a double-structured stove

The star of this set is an alcohol stove finished by hand, one by one, using recycled empty cans. The inside has a double structure, and when the body heats up during combustion, the internal pressure increases, causing flames to rise through small holes opened around it. After pouring in fuel and igniting it, a ring of flames spreads around the edge of the stove in about 2-3 minutes.

The simplicity of extinguishing naturally when the fuel is used up is also a charm unique to alcohol stoves. The story of an ordinary empty can being reborn into a tool that can be reused deepens the enjoyment of holding it in your hands.

In addition to the stove body, the set includes a stainless steel mesh pot stand, a heat-resistant sheet, and a storage bag with the MG TRAIL logo. The newly added pot stand is designed to be rounded and stood up around the stove when in use, allowing you to place a Sierra cup or small cooker on it. After use, once it cools down, it can be flattened, making it fit neatly into the storage bag and standard-sized mess tin.

The set weight is approximately 60g, making it lightweight and compact enough to be alongside a smartphone when stored. If you store it in a corner of your backpack, you can quickly take it out during breaks. In combustion tests, approximately 7 minutes of burn time was confirmed with the pot stand set up using 30ml of fuel, and about 10 minutes without it. It can also accommodate cookers with a diameter of 14 to 16cm, which is sufficient for boiling water for one person.
