Now I am getting greedy for more advice.

My question is : assuming I have the DIY skills necessary, can you suggest me a stove design for both esbit/hexamine AND alcohol, whichever fuel is available.

I already have homemade esbit type stoves and cat stoves. But none of them will work with both fuels. Plus the cat stove seems too small for for anything but a steel cup.

How about if I put a smallish CAT stove inside the homemade esbit ( a larger - half height coffee - can that has holes around the top and bottom. ) Advantags is more stability for larger pots. CAT stoves work on the principle that flame will come out from the side holes. However if the pot sits on teh larger ( outer ) can , flame will come out of the top of the CAt stove. Is that bad ?

I have seen on you tube something like this when someone filled a tea candle aluminum container with sand and alcohol and used it as a candkle or micro heater. Maybe I can fill the CAt with some sand and alcohol and put it inside the larger can.

Your thoughts ???

Thanks
