OK, to answer a couple of questions about the CLIFFstove:

Matt26: I used a drill to cut a few starter holes in the bottom of the cup, then a hacksaw, and then a file. Used the drill for the air holes, too. DONT' FORGET AIR HOLES!!! This thing will get HOT!!!!!!!!. The wire is steel wire I found at a jobsite and bent into shape.

OldBaldGuy: No, I've never made plans for the thing. I winged it totally, using the Jack Karouac, stream-of-consciousness-and-a-bottle-of-Cuervo design approach. (So yes, there are a few "starter / oops" cups still in my workshop....)

Susan: The keyboard is there because my current version of the CLIFFstove is fully Bluetooth enabled, so I can set the cooking time and intensity from the warmth of my bivy bag. (The CLIFFstove can also hold 20GB of music or movies!) But since I got an iPhone, I don't use the Bluetooth features much anymore....

Best,

.....CLIFF (like, who else?)
