I made another cat can stove yesterday out of a smaller can. It is small enough to fit under one of my steel or SS cups.
I tested it inside. Seemed to work OK. A little smelly as the plastic liner on the inside of the can burned off.
I will take it with me on the next hike and try it out. I made myself a wind screen to bring with me as well. Just AL foil.
I need to get a decent fuel bottle though. using an old coke bottle is not the best option.
I like this style of stove as it is simpler to make than other alcohol stoves.
