The stove is on the right, and is made from two pepsi can bottoms. The bottoms are pushed together, with fibreglass
insulation in the cavity. Needle holes are drilled or punched around the first flange of the bottom, and a pour hole
is punched in the concavity at the center.
The pot stand is a Dinty Moore can, with air holes drilled in, and the top lip cut away. Using the can as the pot
holder eliminates the need for a seperate priming cup for the stove.
The assembled stove, pot stand, and wind screen. The windscreen is made from heavy guage aluminum foil. That
is a nickel placed on top of the fuel filling hole. It acts as a safety valve in case the stove builds up too much pressure.
The stove system stored inside my small titanium pot. The grey lidded item is a 35mm film cannister, which holds
a couple of nickels, and which I use to measure out the alcohol fuel and for pouring the fuel into the stove. One cannister
of fuel makes boiling water for one person. Two cannisters cooks dinner and heats a hot drink.
