cool zen alcohol stove I made
http://zenstoves.net/SimplifiedZenStove.htm
It looks like the picture below, when you are done. I was very impressed. Easy to make, very functional. Bullet proof. I highly recommend it. Almost, but not quite, makes me wish I hadn't bought my zip stove. I used a small 3oz can of SPAM spread and an aluminum can. That's it. We have burn bans going on down here in Texas due to the drought, so learning how to build backpacking stoves will come in handy for my (poor) scouts. |

I am having a hard time believing that there hasn't been significant shock and awe at my new backpacking stove. This is a tough crowd, no doubt.

Let's see your stove...

Your stove is pretty cool; however, it would be cooler if you had shown us a picture of the stove you built instead of a picture off the website. But what do I know? I'm just a BigFatMeanie |

Sorry, Mike, but it takes a lot more of a fire hazzard for me to be impressed.

Thanks for that link. I now know what my oldest boy's science project next year is going to be.

Ok, here is my stove. I had the small aperature lens on, so I wasn't able to take an in-focus picture.
