About Wolka Alcohol Stove, Camping Stove with Stove Cover
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
94% impressed by the boil time
I was able to boil 2 cups of water in 6 minutes using heet from automotive section which is very clean burning ethanol.
I can boil water for my morning coffee in a 500ml stainless cup using the stove and stand, indicating that the boil time is sufficient for my needs.
95% appreciated the durable construction, but 5% experienced issues
I appreciated the inclusion of a spare stove/simmer ring with the purchase, considering the low price of the product.
I am dissatisfied with the way the hinged pieces come together and the clasp, which seems to be not very secure.
The side panels need to be re-bent or put back in shape to fit properly, indicating that the product's durability is not up to the mark.
Once assembled, the folding base falls apart easily and is not durable.

93% found it easy to use
The stove is compact and easy to set up with practice. One should be cautious while dealing with thin metal edges.
This model can be sealed without having to dump the alcohol back into something, making it easy to use while camping or backpacking.
I suggest waiting for a minute after lighting the stove before using the pot or cup.
88% praised the flame control, while 12% struggled
I had a close call where the stove spilled flaming fuel on the wood table and then on the ground, which started a fire that was difficult to control. I recommend only using it on the ground in a cleared space to avoid such situations.
90% liked the portable design
It's perfect for kayak fishing days to make coffee and dehydrated meals, and also good for emergencies.
93% appreciated the wind resistance, but 7% experienced issues
I had an accident where the stand's latch unhinged and the kettle of almost boiling water fell off, resulting in hot water all over my legs and the ground.
