I call them "TwoWay" stoves, because they can be used with a stand that
holds the pot about 1" over the stove, or you can set the pot directly on
the stove and use it as a side burner.
The advantage of using a pot support is when you are trying to heat a small
mug. The chimney type flame works well with smaller pots or mugs!
The Ultra Cat is just a Super Cat [Jim Woods] with only one row of lower
holes. Just use 20 instead of 10 and forget about the top set of holes, you
don't need them. I like 7/32 diameter.
Use a pc. of flashing or 5/16" off the bottom of another can with a 1 14"
hole in the center, for the top.
I will get some pictures of them in action, so that you can see the
difference!
Pop can version.....I am not sure how long the sharp edges of the cans will
last. [top support] They seem to be quite strong at only 1 1/8"s tall. You
might want to use some JB Weld on the inner and outer, when they are slid
together.
Have any questions on how to build them, just ask.:confused:
