I replicated the BPL Stovebench test of how the amount of fuel left in a canister affects stove performance. I used a 110g canister instead of a 227g and compared three different stoves (BRS3000 [BRS], Pocket Rocket 2 [PR2], Windmaster {WM]). BPL just used a non-regulated stove and never specified which one. Here are the charts with the results. The testing protocol is also part of the imgur. And some takeaways:
- The PR2 and WM were able to boil 500mL of water 11 times (5.5L) on the dot using one 110g canister. The BRS still had ~6g of fuel remaining after 5.5L. So average fuel consumption was lowest for the BRS over the lifespan of a 100g canister.
- The WM had the lowest average boil time at 185s, followed by the PR2 at 197s, and the BRS at 220s.
- Differing from BPL’s results, I saw a steady increase in boil time for the unregulated stoves.
- I saw less of a plateau for the middle fuel levels when it came to fuel consumption compared to BPL, but that may be due to using the smaller canister.
I plan on doing additional variable testing (before a 30 stove performance test), such as:
- Lid vs no lid
- Pot diameter (95mm vs 115mm vs 145mm)
- Fuel can temperature
- Valve openness (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%)
- Aluminum vs titanium pots
- Fuel from different brands
