Keep a slightly bigger tin around that you can just put over the stove to smother it in the event of a runaway ;)Johann Rissikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349081901796675434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-90800363906797157312012-08-30T14:15:16.034-05:002012-08-30T14:15:16.034-05:00@All- You guys are a crack up!

I have a plan for a combination pot stand/windscreen/carrying device as well. <br /><br />But thanks for the suggestions. I'll be fine with this one I have. <br /><br />Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-33591375691360005742012-08-30T13:07:04.531-05:002012-08-30T13:07:04.531-05:00I use a Trangia.

Considering the cost of the burner, the ability to control the flame and store fuel inside (no carrying fuel separately for a S24O), I can't see the point of making an alcohol stove.Barturtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254508016010291461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-58456980265359997872012-08-30T09:34:31.236-05:002012-08-30T09:34:31.236-05:00S24Os are great.

I'm lucky to squeeze in 2 or 3 a year but the good times add up. <br /><br />If you're set on an alcohol stove you might wanna try the cat food can design. It's K.I.S.S. approved and has minimal cost and construction time. Plus the pot stand is integral (albeit small)<br />http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=27563<br /><br />This site is pretty informative as well. <br /><br />http://www.bikeovernights.org/<br /><br />Have fun and get out there before summer slips away.Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213861566205552677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-56344817152936163272012-08-30T08:44:56.017-05:002012-08-30T08:44:56.017-05:00dontcha be talking bad 'bout guinness, willisdontcha be talking bad 'bout guinness, willisstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681810343254880052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-21659417683677062742012-08-30T07:24:53.177-05:002012-08-30T07:24:53.177-05:00@Steve Fuller: Yep, I recall those fires, and that...@Steve Fuller: Yep, I recall those fires, and that is what concerned me about the stove. But as I say, I have a solution for that, and it won't be sooty if it works as I recall that it did.

It's part of the game. A good wind screen helps keep the flame where you want it and not licking around the sides so much. It also means the flame is burning clean so there's no soot covering the outside of your pot or your stove.Steve Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000254083516026697noreply@blogger.com
