MYOG 112.5g Cookset.
Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2012 9:47 am
After quite a few attempts I have eventually made a pop can stove (well, beer can really) that I am happy with so I thought i'd show you my complete cookset.
The pot stand you have seen before but is now just a stand and not a windshield as well, this meant I could cut bits out to lighten it further.
I added a tin foil sandwich tray windshield which keeps the heat where it's needed.
The pot is a Trangia 1L cut down. I put in 500ml of water and marked it 5mm above the water line then cut it down to size. The pot lid is again tin foil sandwich tray. The pot and lid come in at 55g with the whole lot coming in at 112.5g on my not exactly brilliant kitchen scales.
On the scales.

Lovely blue flame and flame spread.

The ring in front of the burner (in the bits pic) is simply for getting the burner at the right height as you can see above, if I re do the pot stand I can get rid of this bit.
