In the first picture, it shows what appears to be a half circle punched in the inner wall. If you could tell me what it is, and what its for, that would be great. Thanks I was also wondering.

Those interested should spend some time at http://zenstoves.net/Stoves.htm to get their fill of eco stove information.

This fuel is sold as gas line antifreeze. HEET is 100% methanol, and burns very clean. Denatured alcohol varies from batch to batch, and will contain anywhere from 1% methanol to 80% methanol and a bunch of other toxic chemicals. Always buy HEET in the YELLOW bottle. The red bottle is IsoHEET and is made from isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) and leaves a bunch of soot on your pots. So Always Go With HEET! HEET IS AWSOME!!!

I use epoxy to seal my stoves, but I'm experimenting with making stoves without epoxy. I'd also suggest that you experiment with pressurized designs because you would then eliminate the need of a potstand. An alternative, is making an open jet side burner. It's basically the same as the stove here, just with the burner holes on the side of the stove, instead of the "ridge". This design also allows you to place a pot directly on the stove.

Simple, decentralized, elegant, recycling. I have had nothing but trouble with complicated Whisper Lites, which seem to have more parts than a VCR, and constantly stop working after clogged. I do not enjoy poking around in them trying to get them working again. On the other hand, after two uses my single-burner pressurized propane stove started dispensing two flames, one where you want it to cook your food and the second at the joint of the fuel-line to the stove. This did not make me happy. Awesome! Simple, decentralized, elegant, recycling.

My propane stoves always sucked anyway. I want to try one of these....I can't believe how little they weigh. I love it! My propane stoves always sucked anyway.
