Cool Alcohol Stove idea

Your cat food can stove works way better than mine.... Mine worked (rolling boil in about eight minutes with two tablespoons of 91% isopropyl alcohol), but it flamed up and the water can got covered in soot.
I was just trying to boil enough water for a Mountain House meal. It worked reasonably well, but not the "stove" type flame I expected.

that at is the original bro, lol. That one and the Boy Scout can stove are the ones that got me addicted to these types of stoves years ago. There is a tune can stove on Zen stoves" that uses the 2 cans in your pic together that works pretty good too. All of these stoves from the one the OP put up on down the line work best if used with a wind screen. That's some nostalgia right there 911
Are you using the cat food can as a pot stand or is it the stove and its sitting on the upside down tuna can so it doesn't burn the surface it sitting on?
If I'm remembering correctly, the bottom one is a cat food can and the top one is a little cat food can (fancy feast or something like that). I've got some more pictures of it taken apart- there's a bottom to a little cat food can pop-riveted to the upside down can. The upside down one is really only there so I could use two tent stakes to fix it to the ground- you can kind of see one of the holes on the left.
Oh- and that piece of aluminum flashing behind the stove is my wind screen
10-4 on the wind screen, I see it now. Lol- I was target fixated on the stove
In the new light of your description I see the whole thing now. Nice base for stability. I have to try the one from the OP, its so freakin simple

Shane I like that stove man.
Heat is my preferred choice for liquid fuel (yellow bottle stuff), may work better than rubbing alc.

Got any other pics or instructions for this stove?
