yeah, that's what I thought it's yellow and slightly sooty, non fully combusted matter. just like if you put out a plate of gasoline in a sense only not as extreme. an UL svea123 type stove made out of very light s... |

no idea what it means no idea, I think it just means that if you put water in ethanol it will slow the burn, and drop the efficiency, but also a bit gain the efficiency because less goes non combusted in the process. ... |

no no, not particularly, but as noted, the flames were so much lower that I'd have to actually make a new pot stand that was lower to fully check it. As it was, the efficiency was about the sam... |

test I tested a 10% water mix in kleanstrip green, and all it did was lower the flame height and intensity substantially, you'd have to drop the pot stand about 1/2" so the flames would contact... |

worth a try it's worth a try, re water mix, I'll give the blend a whirl, the yellow flames do indicate incomplete combustion so that's not energy that's used fully in any case. |

thanks David Poston, thanks for the formulas. All these joules, kjoules, and, the dreaded moles, and the insane mix of units makes this a particular weird challenge to figure out. Most of the figures/data... |

Alcohol energy content / stove system efficiencies - methanol / ethanol / mixes A while ago I realized my chemistry was just too rusty, and that the information about the efficiency of the various alcohols too mixed up re units and other non consistent parameters, so, wanting ... |

ethanol/methanol Realizing I just didn't get the differences, I researched a bit and came up with this page on ethanol / methanol energy content. If there are any math or logic errors, feel free to post correct... |

nice Thanks for digging into it Dan, re the claims of all stove makers, I currently will believe only the claims I can validate personally in the real world, with reasonably well calibrated measurements... |

rough tests without any optimized wind / heat screen, I didn't get great boil times/efficiency, but that's to be expected, I would estimate that if you use slx for fuel, at a specific gravity of about ... |
