Liquid fuel pressure stoves do not burn liquid fuel directly; **they //gasify// (atomize) the liquid fuel into a vapor** that the stove can burn efficiently. Gasification occurs in a //gas generator//, which is a portion of the fuel delivery tube that pass near or through the burner's flames. The liquid fuel hisses as it vaporizes in the generator. | Liquid fuel pressure stoves do not burn liquid fuel directly; **they //gasify// (atomize) the liquid fuel into a vapor** that the stove can burn efficiently.

==== sterno ==== | Sterno is a jellied alcohol fuel. It is rarely used in vandwelling because of the cost and because the flames are nearly invisible. |

| Hexamine bars or tablets ([[https://amzn.to/3hfujSd|esbit]], military surplus) are very expensive by the BTU produced (and relatively sooty-burning) but are lightweight and stable. They make great additions to day packs and emergency bags. |

| === laboratory hotplates === |
| |
| Lab hotplates are similar to cooking hotplates only generally smaller using much less wattage. They may not work for full-on cooking but might suffice for reheating/simmering. See [[https://mouse.mousetrap.net/blog/2021/05/05/first-run-with-the-lab-hotplate/|this blog post]] by secessus. |
