woops. thanks

Thanks for the awesome tip!

This is along the lines of teach-a-man-to-fish.

The penny stoves work great! I built and tested both the alcohol and the wood versions. Bravo to the designer, especially on the alcohol model.

I used a nickel to make the seal on the alcohol stove, which seemed to work better than a penny. But otherwise, it worked as described.

It took me four attempts to make a working version from Pepsi cans. They are very thin cans and easy to overcut.

The wood version is much easier to make.

I think I am going to use it as my primary packing stove after a little more testing and tweaking to solid up the stakes.

I think I will also keep a baggy of fatwood chips with the stove to make it even easier to get it going.

I have a .mil surplus Trangia alcohol stove in brass. Yeah, it is a few ounces more, but is indestructible and has a top to screw on to save fuel.

Big Al:

I have no plans for the CLIFFstove - just did it. Combine time, a hack-saw, a file, and a workshop where you can hide from the wife and kids and, well, things happen. The metal rods came from Lowe's or Home Depot - I don't remember.

The larger Trangia burner that comes as issue with the Swedish Army Mess Kit will not fit inder the CLIFFstove. Use the smaller one that comes with the Westwind.

Hope this helps. Well, a little.
