how long will a 8 oz canister last boiling water.......I need to boil water for 20 minutes to cook survival food

I haven't used it that much yet to know exactly, but I've cooked 3 or 4 meals on one canister so far and it's not dead yet, so it looks like it should work for your purpose.

I have not done a test yet. I would suggest that you purchase one canister and do a test. Also remember that water boils at lower temperatures as you go higher in altitude. Putting a lid on the pot or using an insulated pot would allow you to keep the water at the boiling point with less fuel. So there can be variations on the amount of fuel used to keep water at 212 degrees F for 20 minutes.

I use my stove quite often and a can typically lasts a couple hours at high flame. I conserve but otherwise boiling a large pot of water is simple and quick with this fuel.

In our experience each of these has about 2 hours on full and about 4 on simmer

BTU's is the measure of burner output and uses the time to boil water to make that determination. Used sparingly, 1 persons meal at a time, using a thin metal cooking vessel, im thinking 15 meals possibly more.

I don't know about that. I don't have a sous vide machine so I put the bag in the crock pot and it held up just fine for 10-11 hours in the crock pot with no control on the temperature other than just 'on'. I have never put the sous vide bags in boiling water, but I have put the "Food Saver" brand bags (sealed of course!) in boiling water to heat what was inside and that worked out just fine. The bags held up great!

2.5 minutes for stainless steel 16 oz. Coleman Cup; learn to cook quick meals and then immediately eat turning burner off when not cooking. You can get 3-4 hours burn time per can. What hurts how long a bottle last is when you leave burner on to keep something warm. On occasion I have had these last a full seven days three hot meals each day and hot beverages. I carry a alcohol burner to use when I want to keep something warm...mine is a camping unit with pot rack and made of stainless steel. The outside looks like new the day I bought it...the inside show use...in a pinch the alcohol burner can cook a meal if needed, carry it for backup just in case. Butane I think burns about 375 degrees and alcohol burns at almost 1,000 degree [don't know if that is accurate but works for me].

Read my review from(Strait) 3.5 oz only. Thats the smalest canister they make its about 70 min cook time, with pocket rocket or peak simular stove. If all you do is boil water it is enough for about 7 meals. I carry extra canisters for longer than a two nighter.

When a fuel canister was forgotten I used it next to an open fire sitting on some rocks. The water got near boiling (and would have boiled eventually) and was adequate to re-hydrate my food. I was constantly checking that the handles were not melting. So in a pinch you can make it work with constant supervision.

10-15 minutes takes about 20-25 for boil. Great buy for brewing, used mine twice so far.

Boil it longer. It will return to it liquid state when boiled long enough. Also just a tip... Just because you see it liquid does not mean you shoul take it out of the pot. Let it boil about ten minutes longer once it has liquified. Then it will stay liquid

I think it's like 10 min, not for sure. I used a microwave steamer, steamer bag or the dishwasher. I didn't have time to wait around for water to boil etc.

I am so excited about this canner!!! I have not actually canned anything yet, but I did a test right after I got it and it comes up to temp so quickly compare to bringing that huge water bath canner up to boiling!!! And when you are finished canning - you don't have all of that water to deal with either - it's a nice thing that saves time and is safer in that you don't have this huge canner of water to handle. Good luck!

Depends on temperature of water and if if your doing it indoors or outdoors and whether you use a windscreen or not. Alcohol stoves for backpacking burn a little hotter and with windscreen can boil 2 cups of water in 4-8 minutes. These Sterno canisters on youtube test took close to double that amount of time, about 20 minutes outdoors. Better for simmering or warming trays. Keeps coffee warm with out it boiling the pot dry camping. Not bad for scrambling eggs. I use a Fancy Feest alcohol stove to get thing boiling and hot in about 6 minutes then move it to the sterno stove to keep it warm.

You only need to add 8 oz of boiling water. It is also good with a little whipped cream.

I'm not to sure of your question. If you are asking how do you use them, they require a small stove that is fitted for this type of canister. If you are asking how are they shipped, they came bubble and plastic wrapped inside a cardboard box, very secure. GasOne is a great product that works well in the small camp or backpacking stoves. Can be used in a emergency situation for cooking and boiling water. Each can lasts roughly 1.5- 2 hours depending on flame height.

You are better at reading directions than I am. I always use high heat to bring water to boil. Have used this way for 10 months without any problems. However, I immediately take kettle off burner when it reaches boiling.I imagine that using a lower setting to boil will probably make it last somewhat longer.

Boil water test: 2 oz denatured alcohol fuel, 1 qt water in large pot - medium cool temp, ambient temp = 80 degrees F, used wind screen, water boiled in 6 min 35 sec, fuel lasted 22 min 45 sec

When I cured my pot on the stove top I couldn't more than 5 gallons boiling. So I bought a bayou burner and use propane outside for full boils. I run off about 8 gallons or wort average though. Depending on if I do a 60 minute or 90 minute boil.

1 tsp per 8 oz boiling water. Steep 3-5 minutes. I think it tastes much better if I don't let it get too strong. It doesn't hurt to wet the leaves and let them absorb a bit of water while you're boiling the water for brewing. Brew to your personal preference, though.

You need to cook with boiling water..some meals require you to add to boiling water and then reduce heat to simmer for 15-18 minutes. Hope this is helpful.
