just received a PM, all stoves are sold
I don't actually sell them, If someone wants to send the 5$ ok, (in a plain brown envelope unmarked of course must really be careful with this high finance.) you see I am purposely going broke, then the gov. will give me a bail out!
Maybe someone who gets a stove will be nice enough to post a picture and description.

I was number 19 on the request list, and so missed out. Hey Gnome, if you make more, please keep me on the next list! Thanks!

I like playing around with these things as well. I have several designs I have toyed around with. All of them run off 1.5 ounces of HEET that you can buy at WalMart. I have a couple I will send out for what ever postage is. I have been making a few and then giving them to friends at home who backpack. Like Gnome said, don't be greedy. Im not as skilled as Gnome it takes me about 30 minutes to do one. Anyway, give me a few addresses. US of course, I have never sent anything overseas but I bet it is expensive...lol
The problem with posting pics is I have sent out at least 3 or 4 different models! basically an aluminum small bottle, most with 2 wicks, (more than 2 wicks would take up tooooo much alk.) most bottles are on their side, a couple stoves are standing up. the stoves fill from the screw cap on the bottle. (you can empty the unused alk back into your storage) the 2 wicks stick up thru a special small glass tube, (heat proof) .
for those of you that want simplicity, take a T candle aluminun holder, toss the candle, put in a 1/2 to 1 oz alk, and light!!!! make a 1/4/in hdwre cloth pot stand, use heavy duty al. foil to make a caldera cone type thingy, for a wind screen, and there you have it, cheeep, make a new one anytime. I have had about as good luck with this T candle holder set up being as efficient as most any thing on the mkt, and I have tried em all, and have built dozens. but aint it fun reinventing the wheel,gnome
oh and I am not at all skilled, most of my stuff goes fast becaus it is simple, my stuff is rarely a thing of beauty but they datrn well word!!!!gnome
I got mine Gnome. What an original design! With a quick test it boiled about a cup & a half of tap water on 1/2 oz of denatured. Fiver on the way! Thanks again!
