[keen-edge]

Hi fellas thought you would like to see the meth's stove I made on my metal lathe mad from Aluminum size is 50mm x 35mm high burn time is 10 minuets full flame boils mug of water in just over 5.30 minuets to 6 minuets pleased with my first one and works really well the rim below the holes is to prime the stove little meth's in rim when you light it sets it off burning faster hope you like it ATB Phil.

Very nice and looks a sturdy bit of kit.
Good job.

Nice job, as mentioned it looks a sturdy bit of kit.

Have you got any pictures of it being made? I know I'd find it interesting, as would other members, to see how it goes together etc

246oz??

Damn, here's me thinking it was a nice light stove, not one that weighs in at over 15lbs

lol sorry I am crap at weighing things its around same weight as my trangia stove lol it seems I missed the point out so that's 2.46 lol I also want to make a cone shape to go inside the top to put a mug/pot straight on top like this

 

[keen-edge]

All finished I put a chamfer on top edge to give it a more rounded look and took some off the body to give it a little more shape weight is now 2.27 oz. pleased with it thanks for the kind words fellas

I think it is one of the nicest things made here!
As it is quite small, will you be able to boil a liter of water?

cheers fella not sure but the mug in my pic took around 5 minuets to boil I designed it for my brew kit so boils a normal size mug easy if that helps

not sure anyone would buy one lol would not know what something like it would be worth lol

I think you'd shift a few.. just have to work out the cost for materials and labour.

Folk can't resist a shiny new bit of kit.
