    I still use an old design... it works perfectly, so I've never had to try another newer design. I'm using Scott Henderson's Pepsi Stove design... not even his updated Pepsi-G stove. But it works perfectly for me, so I've never bothered with anything new.
    Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.

    I use a modification of this one:
    Mini Zen Chimney/Sideburner Stove

    Instead of the perfect and pretty hole on top, I used the drink hole on top. I used a hole punch that jammed and tore the holes to make them extra ugly. I said "F- it" when that happened, but went ahead and completed it, tried it out, and when it worked perfectly--no pot stand needed--I decided to use it.

    I used an Etowah the first half of the PCT but it rusted and flames wouldn't come out of the holes on the inner container anymore. No such trouble with my F- it stove.
    Some knew me as Piper, others as just Diane.
    I hiked the PCT: Mexico to Mt. Shasta, 2008. Santa Barbara to Canada, 2009.

    Caldera Keg-F. Accept no substitute. Best stove stove system I've ever used.

    Caldera Cone is a neat design, and I'm expecting to see more of them on the trail this year.
    Etowah II is a great stove

    Default Alky Stove

    I have used and really like the WhiteBox Stove. The guy at Minibull designs gave it a high rating even though it is his competition. I also like the Etowha II. White Box handels the colder temps a little better.

    i have played around with a couple different stoves. i enjoyed making them. that said, i am planning to bring both a penny stove and a crumb catcher as of right now. i had a challenge with the penny stove and that was that it needed a pot stand. then i founda way to mix the crumb catcher and the penny stove. when you cut off the top of a v8 can (like when making a hiney pot) you can put a crumb catcher on top of the v8top and then it doubles as a pot stand on the penny stove.

    i like the crumb catcher because the pot sits right on it. i have had boil times of over 12 to 18 minutes with this one depending on water temp and amount of water. i m still experimenting, so my data is not complete. if you are interested check out my videos at qik.com/climber2377

    when i made my crumb catcher, i did not rivet the top on. i bent the outer cup over the inner rings that sandwich the crumb catcher. if you ever made a crumb catcher this may make sense to you.

    I use a one-third tomato paste can with two layers of hardware cloth on the inside and a windscreen. Works great with my 750ml ti pot.

    Default Tatonka Stove

    I just go a Tatonka from Germany. It is like a Trangia but made out of stainless steel. It is built like a tank and it has a great pot stand.

    Pressurized Pepsi can. Actually had it out today to test it in 34*F w/ flurries. Water was from a iced over bucket and used 1fl oz of fuel that was used for both the stove and prime. Rolling boil was at 9min and burnout at 10min.
