THese pics are pretty much the same colour as the pot. They havent really altered the colour.
Struggling to elieve that the fire didnt reach above 300 C.
If thats right, and Ally melts at 600 C, does that mean I can build the stove body out of aluminium sheet?

This is still what I am thinking about, and i might alter it a bit, or even a lot...
but...
The green would be fireproof insulation
The sides and bottom of the water pot would have fins to increase surface area
The bottom of the fire pot would contain a mesh to keep the fire from burning whatever the pot is standing on
The water pot would fit inside the fire pot, and the insulated sleeve would pull up the sides of the fire pot and be held up by the skewers the waterpot stands on.
I think....
.
It's a bit like one of these: http://www.jetboil.com/ - see their flash cooker, but powered by wood instead of gas. You'd have to avoid using resinous woods like pine as it'd build up on the fine fins and soot them up rather quickly reducing the efficiency. fantastic thread by the way = )
Oh Wow!
Thank you Tim.
Hadnt realised that the jetboil had fins.
Hadnt realised it was that fast either - 2 mins!
Looks like my theory was sort of right.
I wonder if aluminium fins would melt in the fire or if it could transfer the heat to the pot fast enough.
Any Idea what I could use to stick one on?
Ive been thinking about JB weld....
Pine?
Havent tried burning any proper wood yet, only tea stirrers, paper and cardboard. Sounds like a little wire brush would be a Good Idea.

So the kids decided they wanted to go out on the canoes after school.
Im pretty sure that even the fish were wandering around in big thick furry coats it was sooo cold.
Nope. Not letting them go paddling or swimming - their Idea of canoeing in that sort of temperature.
It would have given me hypothermia just watching them.

Just decided that it was the wifes fault that I left the torches at home too.
Need to pack better.
Er......
Not admitting it was me that came up with the idea of standing the stove on a newspaper so it didnt scorch the wet sand.....

We had a lovely night.
Couldnt take any more pics as we didnt have any light.
Chcolate was good.

Except sharing a brew as the sun goes down.
