Stove Accessories & Modifications

This is (hopefully) helpful information that I use when building my stoves.  I would highly recommend you look at http://www.instructables.com/id/Cool-Little-Miniature-Stove!/ or http://www.instructables.com/id/Aluminum-Bottle-Alcohol-Stove/ to build your stoves.  This Instructable in intended for those of you who have already built their stoves and want to explore more options or make things "easier".

I have found this a very addicting hobby!

Thanks and enjoy your stoves.

Step 1 Soda Can Cutting Jig

I cut down a scrap piece of 1x2 and then used my bandsaw to cut a grove part-way through the block where I could insert the utility blade.  I then used a drop or two of Loctite Super Glue to hold the blade in place.

I cut the block down to 2.25 inches in length.  I made the cut with the bandsaw 1.25 inches from the bottom.

I have built and tested the Standard Stove with the Inner wall and side burners and am very happy with it. It burned nice and long (about 18 minutes) and boiled water within six minutes. It worked well as a "pot rack" on perfectly level and stable ground but still not sure what it would look like in the real world. Still need to play with port sizes. Mine are a bit large - will try smaller ones next.
