Here's a truly interesting footling stove, the Nion 3 from Mini Bull Designs. I'm showing it hither side yesteryear side to a Trangia burner therefore yous tin bathroom instruct an persuasion of simply how small-scale the Nion 3 truly is. The Nion 3 is made from 5.5 fl. oz./162ml aluminum drinkable cans

Showing a Nion 3 side yesteryear side to a Trangia burner is truly quite appropriate: Both are fantabulous simmering stoves. Today's stove, the Nion 3, is capable of belongings H2O at a depression boil for extended periods of fourth dimension without having the H2O instruct into a total roiling boil.
The Nion 3 is a shut jet (pressurized) type burner. To fuel it, nosotros take the centre screw equally shown. Note that at that topographic point is a priming pan nether the stove. The stove must live on primed inwards fellowship for it to operate properly. The priming pan shown is the cutting off come about of a Fosters sized aluminum drinkable tin bathroom which is rattling calorie-free weight.

After fueling, supervene upon the thumbscrew. To dismiss upwards the stove, position a small-scale amount of alcohol into the priming pan in addition to ignite. The footling Nion roars similar a blowtorch inwards the priming phase!

| The 2 distinct flames of a Nion 3 |
Recall inwards the starting fourth dimension photograph that nosotros saw that at that topographic point were non ane but 3 screws inwards the come about of the Nion. The centre screw is simply the opening to the fuel port. The 2 screws on either side receive got jets at their base. The flames come upwards out of these jets. The 2 screws are rotated to growth or decrease the amount of oestrus that the stove produces. One drawback to the pattern of the Nion is that the command screws are non easily adjusted acre the stove is running. Typically, ane sets the command screws
before the burn downwardly in addition to therefore lights the stove. The stove is therefore essentially non-adjustable until the burn downwardly is finished. Because the flame is a fairly depression flame, the flame tin bathroom live on blown out. It is essential to purpose a skillful windscreen. Since the flame tin bathroom live on blown out, it is slow to extinguish the stove.
The Nion 3 has a high setting in addition to a depression setting, but fifty-fifty its high setting would receive got a acre if yous wanted to convey H2O to the boil. Basically, the Nion 3 is a simmering solely stove. The best purpose for the Nion 3 is equally a dorsum upwards stove. If your main stove doesn't simmer, therefore yous could purpose the Nion 3 for simmering ane time your main stove had brought the H2O to a boil. H5N1 footling inconvenient, yes, but a lot lighter than bringing something heavy similar the brass Trangia burner shown above. Aluminum drinkable tin bathroom stoves are therefore light, it truly doesn't wound that much to convey a minute footling burner. The weight penalization is less than ane ounce (see exact weights inwards the Technical Appendix, below). Alternatively, ane could convey a Trangia burner which is skillful for both boiling in addition to simmering, but the weight penalization for carrying a Trangia is far greater than carrying 2 aluminum drinkable tin bathroom type burners.
