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.

Thirty-four grams. Titanium with a glass-wool wick, and internal fill scales at 30 and 60 ml so you can measure fuel rather than guess at it. Evernew’s published performance: it will boil 400 ml of water on 30 ml of alcohol in under five minutes, which is a remarkably efficient figure and the reason this stove has the reputation it does.

🔴 It has no pot support of its own. The stove is a burner, nothing more — you need a stand to hold a pot above it. Evernew make two: the Cross Stand, which is a 16-gram folding trivet, and the DX Stand, which is heavier, two-piece, and also acts as a windscreen. We stock both, and the DX Set bundles the stove with the DX stand if you would rather buy it in one piece.

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.
