An alcohol stove is the quietest, simplest and lightest way to boil water. There is no pump, no jet, no valve and no cartridge — a cup of fuel, a wick and a flame. Nothing in it can fail, it works at any altitude, and the fuel is available anywhere in the world under half a dozen names. The trade is that it is slower than gas and the flame is hard to see in daylight.

The BLUENOTE stove and its pre-heating plate together. Evernew’s contents statement, word for word: “set of BLUENOTE stove and Pre-Heating plate which supports lighting.” That is the whole contents — twenty grams for the pair.

🔴 Read this before you compare prices: the BLUENOTE is aluminum, not titanium. Evernew publish the material plainly, and it sits on the shelf next to a titanium stove that costs slightly less. What you are paying for here is not the metal — it is the size and the weight: 13 grams and 50 mm across, which is smaller and lighter than anything titanium in the range.

What is in the box

• BLUENOTE stove — 13 g, Ø50 × 32 mm, 15 ml fuel capacity
• Pre-heating plate — 7 g, Ø62 × 7 mm
• Total weight 20 g (0.7 oz)
• Material: aluminum — not titanium
• Made in Japan
• No stand, no pot, no fuel

It is cheaper as a set. Bought separately the two come to $88.98; the set is $81.99. A seven-dollar saving, and you were going to want the plate anyway.

What is not in it: no stand and no pot — the BLUENOTE is designed with the cup sitting directly on the stove — and no fuel.

No fuel is included and we do not ship it. This burns alcohol only — denatured alcohol or methylated spirit, which you can buy at a hardware store or pharmacy. Evernew’s own note is that if you buy alcohol fuel at a pharmacy you can boil water with it.

Warranty

Evernew offer a one-year limited warranty. Not a lifetime guarantee — we mention it because several brands in this category do offer one and it would be easy to assume.
