    Check these Littlbug Stoves. They can burn wood or alcohol (+ dung, peat, and coal can be used). Pieces nest for easy storage and transport. Best of all, Littlbug products are manufactured in USA with help from individuals with disabilities, part of the Littlbug Humanitarian Aid Project.

    Great link Gray wolf, that is the stove I've been looking for, or at least something like it. I have seen home made stoves with a similar design and like the compact pack design.

    They have 3 different size stoves and a few accessories:
    Littlbug Senior
    Littlbug Junior
    Original Junior Stove
    Fire Pan & Hanging Chains Set
    Pouchs

    I like that you can adjust the heat, no matter what fuel you use... Also the Fire Pan & Hanging Chains Set are self balancing.
    If you take the chains off the fire pan and use the fire pan on the ground, it goes along with "Leave No Trace".

    Thanks Gray Wolf, I thought I had the Luttlbug on the list. I'm starting to lose track but keep them coming.

    Default Jetboil Companion Cup

    I stopped in Gander Mountain today, I had a $25 gift certificate I needed to use. Believe it or not, I had a hard time finding something to buy.

    Anyway I found a Jetboil (1L) Companion Cup on clearance marked down from $29.99 to $19.97. The thing is, I don't own a jetboil stove. I've seen one work when a friend of mine brought one backpacking, a interesting concept. http://www.jetboil.com/

    I thought I might incorporate the Companion Cup into a homemade stove. The attached FluxRing heat exchanger will come in handy. Here's what it looks like.

    wow. I was thinking DIY stoves at first and thought the guy just was busy. But wow, there is a pretty hefty price tag on that collection.

    Here's a real fast burner, the MSR Reactor. It's won many awards.

    http://www.msrgear.com/stoves/reactor.asp

    From the site:

    "State of the art cookware and revolutionary stove design combine to create the fastest, most fuel efficient stove system ever. The Reactor's radiant burner is enclosed by a unique heat exchanger for unmatched performance in windy conditions while an advanced pressure regulator provides optimal heat output over the life of each fuel canister. Stove and fuel canister stow inside of the high-efficiency 1.7 liter pot that's great for everything from solo trips to cooking for groups of up to three people. A collapsible handle locks the unique see-thru lid in place for safe and easy transport."

    I was looking at that yesterday, as a matter of fact. Looks like a cool stove but a bit pricey for me.

    It is pricey ($159) and seems like nobody's discounting it. But it looks and feels like it will last for many years. And a 3 minute 1 liter boil time is nice.

    Jetboil recently had a recall on their stoves. I dont remember the specific post but I think it was one Ken put up in the last month or so.

    Default Emergency Cooking Candle

    OK, I'm not sure were to put this, but here is a link that described how to make a cooking burner using cardboard and wax and an old tuna can. I used one of these in the Scouts and it worked pretty good and had a decent burn time.

    Anybody else have a Camping Gaz brand stove? I can't find gas locally and have to order it online. BIG shipping on canisters. Other than that I love the performance. Is there another canister that fits it?
    Well why not?
