It would also be a good personal marshmallow roaster, if your camping with a fire, then scoop up a coal or too, and then noone will hog you perfect little marshmallow spot :)

I used the bottom inch or so of a soda can and placed a square from the can on top of that. the fuel goes in the bottom of it and works pretty well I kinda improvised cuz I didn't have any altoids tins it works well

I believe it is just a "V" or "L" shape, but I will have to make one and post more descriptive pictures in a slide show. Don't worry, BenEatsNails, I won't make an instructable, just a slideshow..

This is really kool. I made a stove similar to this but I used a different kind of container. It was from a simon gift card. it was the tin they come in and i would make an 'ible but idk wat half of the materials are called... haha. but urs is very creative. i thought you were going to use the hanger as bars fot the food to cook on....
