The Trail Designs 12-10 Alcohol Stove

, , , , Edit
Recently, I did a review of the Caldera Cone alcohol stove system, which is a wonderfully efficient, lightweight, current of air resistant alcohol stove system, ane of the best out there.

Today, I idea I'd accept a quick expect at the unique burner that comes amongst the Caldera Cone, the 12-10 burner.  As for why the Caldera Cone is such an efficient alcohol stove system, delight come across The "Magic" of the Caldera Cone.
A Caldera Cone's 12-10 burner, shown hither inwards my hand.
The 12-10 burner has an interesting too odd design.  While the 12-10 has holes inwards the side of the trunk of the burner, it is non a side jet stove, at to the lowest degree non inwards the conventional sense.
Some mutual alcohol stove designs:  Open loving cup side burner, closed hap jet, opened upward hap jet (including the brass Trangia burner)
With a typical side jet burner, the flames terminate out from the jets.

With a 12-10 burner, the flames from the "jets" basically terminate in to the burner.  It's a piddling difficult to see, but accept a closed expect at the ii photos below of a 12-10 burner.  If you lot expect closely, you lot tin come across the jets burning within.

Another photograph of a 12-10 burner inwards use.  Can you lot come across the interior jets whatever improve inwards this photo?
The interior jets combine into ane flaming too larn out the burner, burning equally though the 12-10 burner were a elementary opened upward loving cup type burner.  It's anything but.  This is ane sophisticated, well-tuned burner.  I tin alone imagine how many hours of design, building, too testing went into the 12-10!
The 12-10 burner most looks equally though it were a elementary opened upward loving cup type burner.  Note the burner is shown mounted inwards a Trangia 27 gear upward for ease of photography. The Trangia 27 is NOT a Caldera Cone or a Trail Designs product.
Now, accept a expect at that photograph above.  That's a actually tall flame.  On most stoves, if you lot operate a tall flaming similar that, the stove is actually inefficient too burns through its fuel quickly.  Not the 12-10.  In exam afterwards test, I've matched it upward against diverse designs, too relatively few stoves vanquish the 12-10 inwards a duration test.
Various alcohol stoves beingness compared to 12-10 burners inwards a duration test.  Can you lot topographic point the 12-10 burners?  They're the ii on the lower correct manus side, front end row.

One mightiness too intend that such a tall flaming would waste materials a lot of heat.  Not too thus amongst a Caldera Cone

That cone controls the airflow merely about the pot too transfers oestrus to the pot real efficiently amongst a minimum of fuel use.

And at it's center?  The superb, lightweight 12-10 burner.  Highly recommended.
