Yes, 2 times better, boils water super fast, cooks big steaks. All Fancy Feest stoves are good

Wait??? Fancy Feast doesn’t have holes.
Me thinks they make them with holes in NZ
This is what I mean
Just 1 row
This kind of stove is called a supercat stove.
The problem with the supercat stove is when you sit a cold pan of water on it, the fire smothers out. At least in my experience.

Place the pot on it more slowly.
And if you place the pot onto the stove too fast the flame will go out
You guys have affected me! Thanks!
I felt it today while walking around the neighbourhood on recycling day. I found these two pieces in neighbours bins. A cat food can and, I think, a piece that looks lile it might from an aluminum percolator.
I see an alcohol stove.
The two nest and seat nicely.
Just need a stand for a cup/pot.
To glue or not to glue the pieces into stove mode?? I should probably test it first. Added to my weekend To Do List.
It seems to fit into an old Coleman esbit-like folding stove. Wish me luck!

Excellent repurpose of waste materials. Maybe cut the cat food can in half the height?
Worthy of a post in the wasteland thread
Maybe a small coin over the central hole

Totally! I've found myself making a little Wasteland kit around this stove. Haha!
We encourage you to make another titled "weekend warrior" kit

I made several of these, with the fire-retardant felt in the middle. It's light at .6 oz. While I appreciate that it requires no separate stand, I find it a bit dangerous in actual use and have had a couple minor mishaps. Mine put out tons of heat and boil water pretty quickly. I prefer the simplicity and safety of my Esbit set-up.

How so? Looks like it has a nice wide base on it.

It was still kind of tippy. Even on a concrete pad once. Seems way more likely to start an unintentional fire that the Esbit.
WHat diameter pot and how much liquid does it hold. Is it used for cooking or just heating water?

1.3 liter Ti Evernew pot with a foil lid. Not cooking, just bringing about 750ml to a boil, stirring something in, and then letting it sit a few minutes without flame under it.
I only use esbit in my emergency only kits. The odor from it is terrible.
