Alcohol stove cleaning

imported
#1

I ve been having a little explosion everytime i lite my Pepsi/murphy can stove I think it is from tiny sand granules stuck betwix the inner and outer wall. How do you clean that out without tearing the stove apart? VAccum cleaning maybe? Water rinsing? Or just too much fuel? How do you measure the alcohol put in? I ve seen people use 20 oz. pop bottle screw caps. Any suggestions from alcohol stove experts?

Ahhhh…measure? :tongue

With some practice, you will be able to judge the amount needed…I measured 1 ounce and poured it in when I first made my stove, and burned it with 500cc in my Ti pot w/ cover…you’ll get an idea of how much it is then, and how long it burns/how much it heats up the water… after that, just eyeball it…
