I made one of the Garlington WoodGas stoves this weekend. It is tiny stove! It measures 7.5 cm (3") in dia. and 11.5 cm (4 1/2") high. I had trouble making the pot supports to match the ones on the web site. I broke up tiny stick up to pencil diameter into 3 cm (1") lengths as suggested and placed enogh sticks to stack up to about 7.5 cm (3") high. That is only a handful of short bits of sticks with the smallest ones on top. Since I was having trouble with the pot supports, I put the stove below the grate of my charcoal grill and put a 2 qt. pot of water on the grate. This doesn't work as well since there isn't a way to contain the heat from the stove up to the pot. I used about 1 teaspoon of charcoal lighter fluid to start the fire from the top as directed. We had about 30 mph winds and 40 degree temperature outside. The stove smoked just a little for about 30 seconds and then burned without smoke for the next 15 minutes. The water was close to a boil but didn't boil. I am sure I would have had a quick boil if I had the proper pot holder and a wind screen wrapped around the stove and pot. I was quite impressed with the little stove. Now, I just have to firgure out the pot supports. Once I get the pot supports figured out I will take some pictures and check my boil time.
I want to tell you guys that I have been very impressed with the cook kits I have seen in this thread. They are quite impressive.
