This one has the "StarLyte burner modified to receive a rigid type fuel tube.
The tube has a lock washer of a type that will prevent it's backward movement while in operation within the burner.
The stainless steel pot support is affixed to the aluminum cat food can
The burner is affixed to the aluminum can. This is a one piece stove. Nothing moves accept the fuel tube. User friendly, no pieces to assemble.
The burner has the ability to receive 1 ounce of fuel by just dumping it in and lighting it if a quick water heat up is wanted. No need to attach a remote fuel source.
For uninterupted fuel usage the fuel tube is easily inserted into the burner.
The stove will boil 2 cups of water in 7 min with 1/2 ounce of fuel without the remote fuel line attached.(under optimum conditions) results vary by pot size and material.
The stove weighs 1 ounce and is 3.25" in diameter and is 2" high. Nice diameter for larger size pots, very stable.
Photos of the stove burning will follow along with a video as soon as I can get to it.

So you seam to have alot of experience with alcohol stoves. I have also been working on a remote fueled alcohol stove. I also got to thinking that these stoves based on flame color mush be burning rich. Cars are my hobby so I wanted to make my stove burn lean so it would burn hotter given the same amount of fuel. Well my last attempt started off well, a little too well. once it was primed it started to pressurize the vaporized fuel. The problem was when the burner started melting everything. I was just using the bottom of a cake can with lits of hoes drilled in it. The aluminum melted. I thought it was supposed to have a higher melting point. would some sort of steal have a higher melting point?

Use a steel cake pan to surround your pressurized stove. Priming a stove adds greatly to the massive amount of heat that it gives off. Your primer fuel burns "rich" as you know. In pressurized stoves the air/fuel mixing is way to complex for me to even want to begin playing with that type of stove again. Bad experiences with pressurized stoves. Low pressure like the "Cobalt" is ok;)
