    Pretty crude, I know, but feeling value in older simplicity. I've been backsliding in my stove quest. I don't have the bandwidth–mental or electronic–to properly codify and annotate my project attributions (but ergo not member of the stovers society where that's graded). I have read Wings and Winiarski, Zen and Yeruski, Sgt Rock and a lot else to guide me in my ommifuel, lightweight, low-tech, superinsulated, winter-worthy, weatherproof, fiddle-proof stove. Currently, Rocket design. Recently I took a break and went back to the basics. Tin can stoves. Emphasis on fiddle-free, damn the efficiency. It's ease is giving me long pause. So, now I'm shouting out to Boxcar Willie and all the other tinkerers in the hobo jungle who left no written record but permeated the future.

    Yes, thanks to all the Boxcar Willies out there. :-)

    I like your stoves….plenty of incoming air at the base.

    The emoticon is very effective:-)

    That's quite the thermal puck….nice :-)
