scratchy Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Is it effective?I'm expecting my order anytime now, but I can't find a single coil oven on the cheap.I used to light my (not so) instant light Swiftlites on a grate with a firelighter underneath and pop a windcover over the setup. Worked pretty well.The fire lighters last about 7-10 minutes, but I can just drop some more in if they die.You guys reckon it'll work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SynysterPhoenix Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I used to use my side bbq grill. Worked just fine, just takes a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_rabbit Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 ive found that an open flame takes longer than an electric coil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Takes a very long time. Unless it's a torch. Butane stoves take forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destructo Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 it takes like 5-7 minutes to light 2 maybe my old coil stove sucked because it took about as long and it STUNK alot more than with a flame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookahhookah Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I used to use an electric range to light my CCNs, but my current apartment has gas and the stove works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boludo Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) It is possible. That's how I used to light mine before I got a portable electric burner Edited October 19, 2009 by boludo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
