Homemade travel stoves?

Which do you prefer alcohol burning or biomass?

Biomass, the rocket stove I have is also the right size to fit a can of Sterno inside of it if I need to use it in a well-ventilated room like my sun room. I can also refill the Sterno can with 91% alcohol & packed cotton balls. If I want to use it outdoors I can use sticks, dried weeds, pine cones, corncobs, etc.

@cherokeepatti Yeah, that's why I went simple and homemade. My brother and I went backpack camping so we found a 2 tin can design on YouTube. Just big enough to make coffee and heat soup

@Powderflask I believe if I had a stainless steel with a self-feeding fuel tube to put sticks etc in it I’d be cooking outdoors quite a bit in decent weather. Would be great for off-grid living, save on propane...save it for rainy days and cold winters.

@cherokeepatti right. I do use my grill for that, but I know it will eventually rust out
