[pct-l] Water Cooled Cat Can Stove

[Paul Bodnar]

I just finished creating a heating profile for the Water Cooled Cat Can Stove.  The heating profile shows the temperature difference with time while heating 2 cups of water (1.3 liter titanium pot with lid).  I carried out control experiments with and without adding water to the stove.  I also tested the stove using 9.5 and 19 ml of ethanol.  In summary adding water increased the burn time by two times or more.
