I wanted one of those Swiss stoves so badly a few years ago! The local surplus store brought some in and I debated and debated. I've never regreted not buying it, but sometimes, like today when I read this post, I wish I had. LOL!


You can always make a hobo stove and modify it to take a burner. A hobo stove is a 1 quart tin can with the top removed and openings either drilled or punched with a churchkey around the top and bottom of the sides. You feed in twigs and whatnot and it burns impressively hot. Cut an opening at the side bottom big enough for a 45 minute Sterno can or an alcohol burner and Bob's your uncle.
