Abstract: A portable alcohol burner is designed to use ethanol as a fuel for indoor/outdoor settings. The burner has a fuel chamber filled with ceramic fiber filler permeated with alcohol. A perforated baffle cage is fitted in the housing and is completely surrounded by the filler material. As alcohol vapors escape from the fuel chamber and rise through the perforations in the baffle cage they can be ignited to create a desired pleasing flame pattern.

Abstract: The present invention relates general to an alcohol burner that uses liquid alcohol as a fuel source and has an increased burn time, controlled combustion and a smaller footprint. In various embodiments, the present invention introduces a system of double stacked baffles with two separate functions. The upper baffle area optimizes controlled combustion, while the lower baffle area optimizes heat transfer from the combustion area down into the fuel storage area. The lower baffle also provides a steady vapor supply to the upper baffle area. By dividing these functions, the burner in accordance with embodiments of the present invention can store fuel vertically, rather than needing to be spread out horizontally. Embodiments of the present invention thus facilitate a wide range of practical configurations for consumer uses not previously possible.
