Alchy stove for 12oz Heinie Mini Keg?

[todd]

Anyone have success w/ alcohol boiling 12oz in the above can? If so, what stove?

Thanks all!

This is from my last winter trip. I just had to keep the alcohol in my pocket to warm the liquid a bit.

The stove I used is a knock-off of the MBD Elite. Instructions can be found on the video below:

Cool pic! Is your can 12 or 24oz?

Thanks

A modified starlyte burner will work well. Use 1/2" hardware cloth to form a pot support. Experiment with pot support height for max efficiency.

It's the 24 oz. one. However, the stove in use should work with the 12 oz. as well.

I have Dan's StarLyte stove and the mini keg and, with a suluk 46 windscreen it's my lightest setup. That said, I prefer my MSR (heavier) kettle. The flat bottom cans – like Dan's Foster's – get faster burn times, or so it seems to me. If I am doing something wrong, someone let me know.
