Paddlewisers... Several weeks ago there was a thread about building your own alcohol stove. I was in the group looking for one of these things so I offer the following : 0. the URL I started at is : http://www.fulton-net.com/~sgraber/makestove.htm 1. I have built several of the burner sections sized from a regular sized pork&bean can ( this makes a jumbo heat source for boiling water for pasta or rice ) down to a small 6 oz sized tomato paste can ( this makes a cool ...well, make that 'hot' but neat, heat source for sauteing veggies and sauce prep ). 2. I did not use the stove-pot stand as described in the URL. Instead I got a small loaf bread pan, cut 2 each 4"x4" squares from the bottom of the pan at each end; punched some 1/4" holes on sides and ends to help the thing breath; and turned it upside down and began cooking. This in effect makes a 1 or 2-burner stove depending upon your immediate needs. You would not want to cook for the whole tribe on this thing, but I have used it on the last 2 weekends and it is sized just perfect for solo cooking. It is very light in weight, very easy to use, and must be fairly efficient. I have cooked 2 weekends worth of camping on apprx 15 ozs of denatured alcohol ...pretty decent chow I might add. No pumping, priming, or noise, and a nice steady cooking heat. ...I like it ! ...adieu ...Peyton (Louisiana) ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
