[pct-l] cat, pepsi stove stands

[wayneskraft at comcast.net (Wayne Kraft)]

My pepsi can stove, which looks like it was fashioned by  a committee  
of pre-schoolers working with only a dull hatchet, nests inside a  
tuna can pot stand.  Several triangular holes were punched out of the  
tuna can along the top ring using a beer can opener.  The apparatus  
looks literally like garbage.  It works fine but I have to keep it  
hidden away so my wife doesn't throw it away by mistake.  Some time  
this winter I hope to try my hand at a Super Cat Stove.

We moved this summer and I've misplaced my dull hatchet.  When I make  
the Super Cat I am going to use a drill press and apply everything I  
learned in college and law school in an attempt to produce a stove  
that looks like a stove, but I doubt it will work much better than my  
garbage stove. As I've noted in my other posts about long sleeves and  
pants, I've recently become more fastidious about the appearance of  
my gear.
