Carbon Felt

[Gravity]

Looking for an 8x8-inch piece of carbon felt to make a couple of alcohol stoves. Thank you.

@sailor, ratdog, brianb, doubletime = Thanks for the info, will look into the local HW store!

local hardware stove should have it. looking in soldering/welding section, or in big box store, in plumbing dept

[Ratdog]

When all else fails, Amazon has it and with Prime it can be at your door in 2 days. But yeah, the box stores should have it in the plumbing section, though it's not listed on the main website, so it's hit or miss.

Pay about $6 for a 12"x12" piece at a plumbing supply store.
Pay about $12 for the same sized piece, shipped from http://www.thefeltstore.com
Pay about $12 for the same sized piece, shipped from Amazon with Prime.

Do NOT pay $6 plus $9 shipping on Amazon

HD has it. Larger piece than you need, so you'll have extra. About $15 I think.

Yes, just bought some from Home Depot yesterday. 13.95 and I can make a few stoves from it.

On eBay you can buy a carbon felt windscreen. This is a cheaper alternative.

Nice find.
Searched ebay and found them 4" or 5" by 18" for about $7 shipped

My local hw store was a bust... it doesn't carry it. However, I found a place that sells a 3x3-foot piece for $22.50. That's a lot of carbon felt, but the cheapest in absolute terms. Here's the breakdown of prices per square inch of all the options in the thread, listed from most expensive to least expensive. I hope I did my math right.

Home Depot = 13 cents
eBay = 9.7 cents
Amazon = 8.7 cents
Plumbing store= 4.2 cents
Cyberweld = 1.7 cents

Here's the url for the cheapest choice: http://store.cyberweld.com/panfelwelbla.html
And here's where I found the recommendation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c27x9lOvLw

I am going to order from Cyberweld and divide the felt in six 6" x 36" pieces. Will keep two pieces, and will sell four at $7 per piece, shipped CONUS. That breaks down to 3.2 cents/square inch. PM me if interested - first come first serve.

I have a piece of Carbon Felt. I would be willing to trade for a decent set of snake skins.

Thanks.
