The Onion,

We didn't use the cat or pepsi can stove--used
the penny stove instead (highly recommend it too,
very efficient), but the stand that we found
worked best for us was a set of three titanium
tent stakes--quite light and won't turn brittle
over time like aluminum tent stakes.  The main
advantage is that you can sink each individual
stake to a level that ensures a level pot.  We
were pleasantly surprised that we could sink out
stakes into the ground a majority of the time. 
In the few places where we couldn't, a combo of
packing loose dirt around the stakes and a well
placed stone under the stove always yielded the
needed results.

My contribution to consumerism on black friday
was in
the form of fiberglass insulation and cat food. 
So
now I've made my stove, and I'm wondering about
it. 
Does everybody use a stand to keep the pot
elevated
above the cans?  I've used pepsi stoves a bunch
without a stand; you put the pot right on there,
and
the flames come out the tiny holes you poked
around
the rim, nice and even.  I thought that was kinda
the
point, but I've seen people use pepsi stoves with
stands.  The cat stove works even if the pot sit
right
over the big top hole, but that's probably not
how
things are intended.  thoughts?

thanks,
the onion
