Well…school’s running, I’m working full time, and the weather is getting colder so I’m getting very short on free time…which means I’m stuck at home doing “homework” most of the time. So I’m starting something new. Since I can’t get out there as much, I’ll spend more time here and do some product reviews and How-to’s to bring some (more) traffic to my page. So what do we have today you may be asking yourself…well…something that’s a little different, and might appeal to a smaller crowd, but still very cool.
It’s the Brasslite Turbo ll-D ultralight backpacking stove. I’ve made a number of alcohol stoves with soda cans, tuna cans, beer cans etc…I’ve used insulation, created pressure chambers with jet holes, and attempted priming setups and simmering functions. The results were sometimes impressive, but they were still flimsy and easily crushed. They worked fine, but I rely on my stove for water and cooking so I prefer to have something more trustworthy.
I actually made this video almost a year ago now and recently found it in my files, so thought I’d post it and see if people want more. It’s sort of long and drawn out, but at the time of making it, I didn’t see any other video reviews of the stove, so thought I’d do one for fun. Enjoy, and comment away.
*Note-It looks like their prices have dropped since I made the video too…so check out their website at www.brasslite.com
cheers,

Great review! You have a serious talent for this. Try naming it more specifically on youtube, should get more hits that way.
Also: I think you should seriously think about a career in camping product design.
