The CatStove design can be scaled up, as Monte Dodge has proved! He's made
one about the size of a gallon paint can. It gets to be a fuel hog at large
sizes. The original is designed for individual use, i.e., with a pot about one
liter in size.
Has anyone tested or tried to make a "grown-up" soda can stove? I haven't
seen any in use.
