[pct-l] The New, Improved Tuna Can Stove




It's the Cat Stove, which was first seen at the ADZPCTKOP2.  It may not be 
the lightest or the prettiest, but it does boil a cup (or a pint) of water 
the fastest:  2 minutes 24 seconds for one cup in the alcostove contest at 
the kickoff party.  My new Tuna Can Stove made from cat food cans weighs 1.6

ounces, including the stand and windscreen.  

Scott Henderson's Pepsi Can Stove won the best stove award at the kickoff 
party.  Scott's stove weighs in at .8 ounces and boils 1 cup of water in 3 
minutes and 10 seconds.  It was beautifully crafted and worked well.  I now 
have the materials and intend to build at least one of them to give it a
try. 
 You can check out <A HREF="www.pcthiker.com/pages/gearset.html">Scott's 
Pepsi Can Stove</A> online.  

I've now completed plans for the new, lightweight version of the Tuna Can 
Stove and will e-mail them to anyone who wants to build one.  JUST SEND ME A

NOTE AND I'LL FORWARD YOU A COPY OF THE PLANS.  The PCT list doesn't
tolerate 
attachments (for good reason) or I would just send all you listers a copy.

ps: Troubadour (Stephen Martin) has kindly consented to add my instructions 
for building the Cat Stove to his website.  He told me the addition may be 
done in about one week.  Thanks, Stephen!  I'll advise the list when it's 
available.
