Toaks Siphon titanium alcohol stove

$35 USD Toaks Siphon stove

The Toaks Siphon titanium alcohol stove is available for $34.95 USD delivered on Aliexpress.

  • Lightweight and efficient alcohol stove with a Capillary Hoop Stove design
  • Fast blooming (~3 seconds)
  • 4 x 5.3cm diameter, 20g


The Toaks Siphon titanium alcohol stove is a Capillary Hoop Stove (CHS) similar to the tetkoba DIY stove (e.g. easy Capillary Hoop Alcohol Stove).


How a CHS stove works:
  • Fuel alcohol is drawn through a thin double wall to the rim via capillary action
  • Fuel accumulates near the rim (hoop) and then vaporizes
  • Flames jet through small holes in the rim

Pros
  • Extremely lightweight
  • Blooms very quickly (~3 seconds)
  • Functional in colder weather
  • Superior to cheaper non-wicking titanium Trangia clones that require ~3 mins to bloom
  • No internal wick, making it easy to fully clean for air travel
  • Doesn't look like a stove (could be mistaken for a cup) - also good when flying
  • The only commercial titanium CHS available
  • Includes storage bag

Cons

  • No screw lid to prevent leakage of unused alcohol
  • No simmer ring - thus mainly good for boiling water
  • Need level platform for operation
  • Might be a bit deep to easily get a lighter into - perhaps use this tip
  • Can't rest pot directly on it - needs a stand. Toaks offer a version made from stainless steel wire or you can purchase a stand like the ArgosTitanium or Bushbox clone
