[pct-l] Water Cooled Cat Can Stove

[Jim Bravo]

I was building an Esbit/alcohol cat food can stove this morning when I saw 
this design. I put it together and ran it a few times using Heet, and 
without any water around the can. The surface area of the tea candle can is 
so small that it doesn't get very hot - it does not come close to boiling 
water. But, what a great idea for someone who wants to simmer something. You 
know, someone who knows how to cook. Just carry a tea candle can and insert 
it into the base of your other stove (if it fits) for simmering mode. Almost 
no additional weight. Note that to hold the small can in place I inserted a 
flat piece of aluminum shaped like a large washer. The small can sat in the 
hole.
