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.

Alcohol, such as spirits, is poured into the burner and then absorbed by the internal hygroscopic material. Alcohol stoves are recognized for their lightweight construction and exceptionally quiet functioning.

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.
-
A small, lightweight, and simple stove powered by spirit. It's a pity that the set does not include a stand, but you can buy one separately. I’m curious how long it will last. I expected slightly better product quality; it doesn’t look like something that will last for years.
-
A simple and lightweight stove at a really good price. The weight of 65 grams is a huge advantage for me. You can feel that the material is light in your hands, but it doesn't feel flimsy. After a few uses with fuel, I haven't noticed any significant wear.
-
I bought it with some skepticism to see if it could be an alternative to a gas canister stove for longer fishing trips. The purchase turned out to be a bullseye. The most important thing for me was that the equipment is small and handy. For longer outings, it's also much cheaper to use. I recommend it.
-
As for quality, there are really no complaints. It has a screw lid with a strong gasket, so you don't have to pour out the fuel every time. It's worth having at home or camping, because in case of emergencies, it can help heat up a warm meal.
-
Probably the best-made product under this brand. Pour in the fuel and it works great. One question remains: how long will it last? Budget products are like that. It fulfills its task.
-
The stove does its job, but you definitely need to buy some kind of stand, because you can't cook on it without one. Putting a pot directly on it stifles the flame. The screw cap with a gasket allows you to carry fuel inside. However, be careful because the cap can get stuck. I had a serious problem getting it open because of that. Unlike a gas burner, it’s practically silent.
-
I have no complaints about the quality; it's a simple device, very useful for camping, works well, and I use bioethanol as fuel. At this price, it's hard to find something better. I highly recommend buying this stove and the shop Militaria.pl.
