That reminds me of the one John D McCann had in his book that used a quart paint can as sleeve, a NuWick 44 as the heat source, and a coffee can as the pot. He used a couple of pop rivets to keep the pot off the bottom of the stove and the candle- put them a little higher up and it might not make a bad wood burning set.

Neat! Google books has his book. Or at least the portion in question.
