I could not get water to boil. The water never really got hot. I tried it and it burned from the middle, but could not get it to come up through the holes. I could not get water to boil.

I succeeded on my second attempt and can't wait to get some fuel to try it out. I have one observation of my own, though.. I used a regular 12oz soda can and I had to modify one of the measurements you mentioned. I made the slits on the inner portion 170mm apart, as it fit more snug than 150mm. Otherwise, all went well and thank you for again for the video! Happy riding! --Shelly Great tutorial!! I succeeded on my second attempt and can’t wait to get some fuel to try it out.

Maybe get another can bottom to put over the stove while it's cooking, and wait a few seconds while it starves for air. Granted, yet another something to carry, but you can put matches into it and stuff. :-) Also, I just saw a camp stove that works identically to this today. It's called the "Trangia West Wind Stove" and seems to be Swedish. It's close enough that I wonder which came first? The can stove or the Trangia? My bet is on the can. :-) -Jon Actually, you could “snuff” this out. Maybe get another can bottom to put over the stove while it’s cooking, and wait a few seconds while it starves for air.
