View Full Version : MiniBull Design Stoves
Has anyone used the stoves from http://www.minibulldesign.com/? I have not, but I am in the market for something lightweight and these seem like a smart buy. If you have not used these, can you suggest other lightweight alcohol stoves that perform well on the AT? Thanks!
I use the Mini Sith and love it. Testing at ambient, 1/2 oz of denatured alcohol will bring 16oz of water to a boil in under 3 min. Just think how efficient that is. I can cook 24 dinners with a 12 oz poland spring bottle full of fuel. The Mini Sith can hold about an oz of fuel and it will burn for about 9 min. The only downside to these (and all alcohol stoves) is that you can't adjust the temp.
If you have not used these, can you suggest other lightweight alcohol stoves that perform well on the AT? Thanks!

I have one of the original style mini-bulls and it does just what Tinny claims it will do. Solid stove, solid workmanship. He also has an excellent 3-cup pot and coozy.

i made one of rock's ion stoves and love it. small, simple, light, and fast enough for me. oh, and it's quiet too. all you hear is the woods.
Thanks everyone! I was also wondering how long these stoves can last. Do they deteriorate with use, or is one stove good enough for an AT thru-hike?
