Well done , just the way we used to make them back in the 90s with one exception . We would cut a strip of the can slightly wider than the depth of the cans at that ridge when put together to fit in that valley . Formed the wall inside the stove like a Trangia , placed inside prior to pushing together . Seemed to create a little more pressure in the stove , then to dress things up a bit ..wrap a thin strip of aluminum tape around the outside . Anyway , really enjoyed your presentation and your Christmas tree is beautiful !
@@ImaOkie Thank you for sharing! I made a similar stove to the one you described but I cut the top off at the upper lip and added fiberglass between the can and that strip making it just like a Trangia. I’m glad there are still stove builders out there with so many options to purchase. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve bought stoves but think sharing the how to’s are still important. Thank you for watching!
The simmer ring is good for heating up soups and chili without burning the bottom on the lowest possible setting about the size of a candle flame. just remember to stir every 2 min at first and a little more when things start to get warmed up. I also found it works better when you start with the simmer ring on rather than trying to put it on a hot stove thats been running on high for a while and then trying to simmer down the flame, sometimes the run away effect just doesnt let it settle down.
@@denofearthundertheeverlast5138 That’s good information. I’m sure I’m not the only one who didn’t know how to use the simmer ring. Thank you for sharing!
Good video
