    Newport

    Skink,

    Prefilter

    Well it is something I just made last friday. Wouldn't say it is the "greatest" thing but pretty nifty nonetheless. We'll see how it actually works in the long run. It is a prefilter for water...

    Risk,
    I really like the coffee stove concept. Did you ever try it with a tuna can or maybe even a higher corn type can? Just curious for those of us with narrower pots. I might give it a shot and...
