I am quite proud of myself as I have built a soda can alcohol stove and windscreen and pot lid combo all MYOG from household goods or very modest $ walllyworld kinda stuff. Probably $7 in all together including drinking the soda from stove fab.
Consistently boiling or "hot enough" 2 cups of water on 3/4 ounce denatured alcohol which seems prettying impressive to me.
Would I do even better with "Heet" that everyone seems to rave about?
