[pct-l] Cat stove

[msaenz at mve-architects.com (Mike Saenz)]

Though I don't use these home-made contraptions, I'd like to ask a question:

Does the circumference of the can used make a difference in the performance of the stove?

Those who know me will start to think: "...oilcan..."

;)

Judson is correct, the Cat Stove is made from two sizes of aluminum cat food
cans.  Roy should answer this because its his design.  Here is the URL for a
page with his plans.   http://royrobinson.homestead.com/Cat_Stove.html

I have used this design for several years and I find it quite satisfactory.
One good thing about it is it can be made with the bare minimum of talent
and tools.  For me it is a multi-fuel stove: Used as designed it burns
alcohol, but I often invert it and use the bottom to support various solid
fuel tablets.
