Melted the top of my aluminum flashing windscreen/reflector.

Specs:
+1/4" diameter from pot
+1" above pot bottom.
paper punch holes every 1/2" for intake
open top exhaust
Chezzer alcohol stove (http://ourwilderness.freezoka.com/equipment_stovechezzer.html)

Since I was testing this in my room, I got real nervous when the pot folding handles began glowing red and the flashing began to plasticize. :eek: Luckily I only had enough fuel in it to bring 900ml water to boil, else there was no way to put out that torch.

Is that a pop can stove?

Well, that's cool! Is that your idea? If so, how did you bend the metal uniformly?

The pop can stove? No, it's been around for a while. I just did some modifications to make it easier to use. I linked to the design in the first post
