\"Kitten Stove\" - Supplies

I appreciate your information and will likely build your stove this week. How do you operate it and does it need a wind shield?

I\'ve done some experimenting recently and there is a slight design change - now it\'s even easier to make! I experimented with the number of holes needed in the exterior (cat food) can. 3 holes is not enough, the flame starves. More holes are better up to about 8, then it makes no difference. So for my newest stove I used 16 holes, two rows of 8 evenly spaced holes, offset from each other. It looks nicer, it\'s probably stronger, and there\'s not as many holes to punch.

The stove will need a pot holder and windscreen. I have a combination pot holder / windscreen. It was my intention to post its directions immediately after I did the stove, but I didn\'t get a round tuit. I\'ll try to do that this weekend.

Add 2 TBS or so of alcohol to the inner can and light. It\'s easier to light if you dip the end of a twig or pine needle into the alcohol, light that, then quickly dip it back into the alcohol.

outstanding! I already use the cat food stove but your version is only slightly heavier and it seems would be more heat/fuel efficient. I will be building one ASAP
