This type of stove probably isnt new but I thought Id share it anyways. Me and my friend "Dayglow" were trying to make him a smaller stove for his mini-caldera cone and ended up making this out of the supplies we had on hand. We used a stadium beer bottle and rolled the edge and put "00 Steel Wool" in it with some chicken wire for the face. I was really surprised at how well it worked compared to the rest of my stoves. I actually made a 2nd one for myself because I liked it so much. It isnt the lightest alcohol stove but it works pretty good. Total weight is 32g and 22g without the lid. Friend of mine on another forum "Yoda" pointed out that the lid could double as an esbit holder which makes it a dual function stove. Anyways, hope this is helpful to someone.
Here is a link to the video I made on how I built it and a boil test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MywK_r8jS2c
