My 2nd attempt in making a pop can stove. I found another set of instructions on the Internet, and followed them diligently. The flames are still bigger that I like them to be. On my next stove I will try reduce the number of burner holes.
The addition of 12 square inches of thin sheet aluminum heat transfer fins to the dish of the Tealight Cup Burner more than doubles the fuel delivery rate for a better than 50% reduction of the boil time. The configuration is substantially less efficient than the baseline Tealight Cup Burner. The video points out why and suggests some ways on how to compensate.
