Ingenious, wouldn't you say?

Granted, this camping stove isn't ideal for every backcountry situation, but if you're into packing light and being eco-friendly, this is a good option.

This stove burns alcohol fuels, but works best with isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol. Most pharmacies and grocery stores sell 16-ounce bottles of rubbing alcohol for a couple bucks.

Turning the stove off is easy. Just smother it with a cup, and within a few minutes the burner will be cool to the touch.

As always, we recommend you exercise caution when dealing with flammable materials.
