what did you use inside?

I can't speak for the OP, but I just used loft insulation from, my loft! in mine.

30ish ml gives me a bun time of about 14/15 minutes, and boiled 500ml of cold water in a crusader cup in about 10 minutes.

yep same with mine loft insulation from, my loft and wire mesh from a kitchen strainer.

One question. After you use the stove, how many minutes does it need until the tin coolles down and is safe to putt it back on the backpack?

Jg

 

[mentalnurse]

the tin cools really quick as its only thin u could pick it up with in a min or two.

Excellent little stoves, and fit the crusader cooker base as someone pointed out on an earlier thread. Must get me one. I have some strainer material in the garage as the missus found out when straining the peas yesterday

A chap called Spork on BCUSA makes a great Altoids pocket setup

An alternative filler can be perlite, which can be picked up pretty cheaply at a garden centre. Perlite is a very light weight amorphous glass, but in essence looks like a very pourous gravel. I got a huge bag for £5, made about 20 stoves and not even made a dent in the bag.

Altoids looks a great little project.
Cheers chaps.
