NOOOOOOO! Eleven page stove nerd thread, don't make me read it in sick fascination (I probably will and hate myself for it).
LOL, regarding the canister stoves though- I thought that was the final call from the BPL boys- as high as you can without spilling the flame.
You alchy sicko's can make anything work, which I say of course with the utmost respect and politeness I reserve for any mentally ill people I encounter.
Although this stove isn't really spilling the flame- it is quite creatively using the pot wall (and little ridge) to transfer all the heat of the small flame- pretty cool.
I have a bucket of homemade ones sitting at home too- but one day I caught myself pouring a beer out in order to make a stove out of it and realized that I had a problem.
With the help of Esbit I have recovered, since that day I haven't spilled a drop of beer, not even when scrubbing esbit crud off the bottom of my pots.
My Xcelerator Ultra Titanium (the "ultra" makes it twice as fast) came in today. Stove alone but in its net bag 120 grams. 104 without the bag. The XT pot 218 grams with lid, 190 witout. The Xcelerator Wil not fit in the pot recess on the bottom even with the supports folded in. Just a fraction too big. That may be solvable thiugh.
