The other day I was cooking in my Ti-Tri 12-10 Stove and afterward lifted the stove to find the soda can 12 section was no longer wielded to the base. Underneath the 12 section is a 5.5 ounce veg juice can. Looking closer, I saw that this section had also freed itself from the base. At first I was highly annoyed as this was only the ~20th time using the stove. Then I stared at the veg can and got my scales out. Veg can comes in at 3.5g. I filled up my 600ml with rice and water, filled up the veg can with heet and used it just like the old 12-10 Ti-tri set up. As the water started boiling over, I unhooked the Ti-Tri and set the pot directly on the stove can to create a simmer and the boiling was controlled. The Ti-Tri still acted like a windscreen, just not completely connected.

Then the best part imo. I cleaned up and put the usual suspects in my 600 when I noticed that now the veg can, my stove, can fit inside the 600! Finally I can put everything inside! Thought Id share this.

I also think the 12-10 burner is a bit overcomplicated. Here's a thread about my 3gram burner that functions pretty much identically to what you happened upon, with the exception of not being able to directly rest my pot on. BUT- I really dislike that kid of operation anyway so it's not an issue for me. IMO, resting a pot on a small stove like that is an accident waiting to happen, but maybe I'm just clumsier than most.

Chase,

What you wound up with after your 12-10 separated is the same as what I now use as my go to alcohol stove.

My "stove" is the bottom of a Budweiser aluminum beer bottle with holes "paper punched" around the top. It looks remarkably just like what you are now using as your stove.

I use a soup can lid as a primer pan under the stove and a cut down vienna sausage can as a snuffer.

The plus side of all of this is my stove "system" is very light and free since all of the pieces and parts are basically trash. ;-)

Party On,

Newton
