What homemade alcohol stove, pot and windscreen would you use for car-camping with a family of 4?

Car-camping? Family of 4? Alcohol stove? Sheer folly.

Car camping I'd have to pull out one of our old coleman giagantic stoves. They are awesome for car camping.

That was not the question, I have plenty of gas stoves sitting around, this is the home made gear forum so lets have some fun with it. :)

Cooking for four? Just use more than one stove. (heck, we all have a dozen...) Keep the kids at a safe distance!

Good idea. I'm going to the PCT day zero kick off this year and want to bring along lots of different stoves to show people.

Last night I put three cyclone stoves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgZLF8sYrrY under my kitchen tea pot at once. I think the stoves interacted with each other and made the fuel run out too fast. It was fun to look at though.
