i saw a picture on here with these stoves and decided to make some with my eplorer scouts. saving all those empty .177 tins came in use afterall.boiled water in 9 mins when using a wind brake(tranga stand), in 13 without (hex stove stand) very impressed. about 25 min burn time as well.

ooo! good idea
my lass keeps all the left overs from our candles in the house and then makes her own up after i make a wick up. looks like i will be raiding her stash for some of these...
