A really great portable stove, my number one. It is very light, compact, very simple in design, and doesn't leak anywhere. Moreover, unlike gas stoves, it is also very quiet—you can't hear the flames at all. You can burn various types of alcohol in it, fuel for bio-fireplaces, and other fuels if needed, so it's very versatile. Unfortunately, the drawback of these stoves is low efficiency on freezing days, so it's the perfect choice from spring to early autumn, especially summer. For me, it's a blast.

Review summary
Kuchenka spirytusowa wyróżnia się prostą, lekką i kompaktową konstrukcją, dzięki czemu jest wygodna do przenoszenia i świetnie sprawdza się na krótkie wypady oraz jako sprzęt awaryjny. Użytkownicy chwalą ją za niezawodność, cichą pracę, łatwość obsługi oraz możliwość gotowania i podgrzewania posiłków przy użyciu różnych paliw (bioetanolu, denaturatu, paliwa do biokominków). Do zalet należą również niska cena, kompatybilność z różnymi stojakami oraz szczelność pojemnika. Wielu klientów poleca dokupić dedykowany stojak i osłonę przeciwwiatrową, ponieważ bez nich gotowanie jest trudniejsze i płomień może być zdmuchiwany przez wiatr. Część opinii wskazuje na drobne wady, takie jak czasami kłopotliwa szczelność, trudność w zakręcaniu pojemnika po nagrzaniu, brak regulacji płomienia oraz ryzyko przeciekania podczas przenoszenia napełnionej paliwem kuchenki. Część użytkowników zauważa nieco dłuższy czas zagotowania wody w trudniejszych warunkach, jednak zgodnie stwierdzają, że jako uzupełnienie głównej kuchenki lub rezerwowe źródło ciepła, produkt spełnia swoje zadanie. Jest polecany wszystkim szukającym wygodnego i ekonomicznego rozwiązania do gotowania w plenerze.

This is my first alcohol stove burner. It is very handy, fits in a pocket, and practically weighs nothing. The description says that you can pour in as much as 100 ml of fuel. I have not checked that myself, but it easily held more than 20 ml. I filled it with denatured alcohol and have not yet checked whether the cap seals well. I used a hobo stove as a stand, so the distance between the burner and the bottom of the pot was roughly 10 cm. At a temperature of about 15°C and with a light wind, it took 19 minutes to boil 500 ml of water in an uncovered vessel. In a kettle with a lid, about 800 ml of water boiled in 17 minutes. I think that using a windscreen could improve this result even further. When completely filled, the burner operated for about 45 minutes. The denatured alcohol left quite a lot of soot on the bottom of the vessel. I also plan to test other types of alcohol.

The product is very simple in its design, but also practical. The stove is lightweight and easy to pack. At this price, it is hard to expect anything better, but the product fully does its job; I have tested it many times already.
-
Nothing to add, nothing to take away, a great burner. It can handle many types of alcohol, and even fuel for bio fireplaces. Between the walls there is some absorbent material from which, after pouring in the alcohol, it evaporates through the openings and then burns.
-
There’s not much to say, the stove works well; if you buy a stand for the set, you can really heat water, a meal, or anything else very easily and comfortably. Perfect for a quick stop, and it’s not noisy like a gas stove.
-
Handy stove for heating a mug in the field. The seal is holding up so far, so the fuel reserve can be transported in the stove's tank. It boiled about 0.5L of water in a few minutes.

My old Polsport burner burned out and needed to be replaced. This Milltec burner is made of slightly thinner sheet metal, but what matters is that it works. It doesn't leak, and the spirit burns nicely on it. A 1-liter kettle of water boils in a few minutes.

A small and lightweight burner, ideal for quickly boiling water outdoors. Inside, between the outer and inner walls, there is indeed some kind of hygroscopic material that absorbs the alcohol, which then evaporates through the holes and burns. I recommend buying a dedicated or other stand for this type of stove and getting a windscreen. The threading is simple and screws on evenly. The gasket holds, but even so, I would rather carry the alcohol separately.
-
The Mil-Tec spirit stove is relatively inexpensive compared to the competition and it doesn't fall short at all. It's worth getting a dedicated stand for it and heating water for forest coffee :)
-
The stove works flawlessly – it is compact and sturdy. Ideal if you value discretion or cannot start a traditional fire. I use bioethanol, which provides a strong flame. In a few minutes, I have a hot drink ready.
-
It works and that's basically it. A simple design gets the job done. It's worth buying a stand and figuring out something for fuel. And a good price to quality ratio. For this amount of money, you can safely buy it without hesitation. I recommend it.
-
Unfortunately, this is already the second one after an exchange/complaint, and the same problem persists—when there is fuel inside and you carry the "stove," the fuel leaks out even though the lid is tightly closed. In general, it works, heats, very simple construction, but it would be nice if fuel didn't leak during transport.
-
A very good alcohol stove, I use it with bioethanol and a windscreen; it works flawlessly. The cover is equipped with a rubber gasket, so you can carry the stove with fuel inside. I recommend the product and the Militaria.pl store.

A very simple, lightweight, and efficient burner for little money. You can use various fuels in it, it boils water quickly, though, like all alcohol burners, it's most efficient in spring and summer. You can buy a dedicated pot stand, though you can also improvise and place the pot on stones. For these types of burners, a windscreen (either dedicated or improvised) is very useful, because even in light winds the flame is often blown away, reducing efficiency. In summary: the biggest advantages of this burner are its weight, simple design, small size, fuel versatility, low price, and most importantly, quiet flame compared to gas burners.
-
The stove is solidly made, small, and handy, ideal for short trips. Very good price-to-quality ratio. It's probably not very suitable for making meals, but for boiling water it's perfect.
