Someone asked Bear Bones stoves work ... *thought this might explain things.

*I'm really, really sorry

EDIT: Following a couple of messages I realise I should have held up one last bit of paper with 'available here' on.

great choice of tunes :D

Glad you approve Mark. I was going to go with Mr Cash but I figured my video production was a little more 'punk rock' so Social Distortion seemed more in keeping

Are there no ends to this man's talents? , .

Me likey. I have never seen a meths stove in action before. This may convince me to make the change from gas.
What is the shield made from?

vaguely exciting film 8-)

Shields are any thin aluminium. The exact spec depends on your level of "resourcefulness".

What is the shield made from?

As CM says, any aluminium sheet will work, as will foil. The shields I make are made from 0.3mm sheet ... I find that they hold their shape well even after heating, don't burn (thinner foil shields often do) and they have a good level of 'springyness' so can be rolled up and slid inside pots, etc.

I bow to the stove-guru that is Stu regarding the efficacy of various ally. Personally I just scrounge whatever is to hand and use it until it "dies" (at my rate of trips they might outlast me :evil:). Latest donor is one of those big disposal serving platters.

Pikey, but in a good way 8-)
