Ultralight Outfitters Beer Can Stove System for Esbit Fuel

[Bill Fornshell]

He is my best guess at what Yukio-san is saying:

[The small round aluminum cntainer of a famous Japan product called Ryukakusan (Dragon Corner Scatter?? these maybe mints). A small hole is made in the lid and the center is dented in a little (Two rows of 8 holes each are made in the container lid – see picture). If there is glass wool etc.? ( I think this means the can is filled with steel wool and is used like a wick), The round container is 55mm by 22mm and weighs 7gr. Alcohol is put into the small can and also put in the cup on the stove stand. You can see something in the cup on the stove stand and I guess this is also steel wool. (with 予熱皿)??
The stove stand is from the Ultralight Outfitters “Beer Can” stove. The stove stand can be used very nicely with a wide range of stoves making it a very “multi purpose piece of gear”.]

Nicely done Yukio!

I just got the system and used my P-38 can opener to take the top off the Fosters can. I find the rubber lip guard thingy unnecessary. I also found that a pull tab top off a 25oz soup can makes a perfect lid w/ handle. However, I found that one fuel tab did NOT produce a boil, even with the lid on. Overall, it's a keeper.
