alcohol stove

Portable spirit cooker

An alcohol stove is a small portable cooking device that burns denatured alcohol or similar fuel.

Popular with backpackers and ultralight campers for its simplicity and light weight: She heated water on her alcohol stove for morning coffee.

The design is often just a metal container with vents—some hikers make their own from beverage cans.
