When using the nail to hammer and bend a notch for fitting them together, I would propose to put the notch in the bottom piece and make the notch point down instead of up. This way you wouldn't have to worry about or adjust for the pot hitting the notch. Great video as always!
This is great. Very useful.. - I have a little tip for you though: I notice that you're using a graphite pencil to mark off on the aluminium can.. I believe I read somewhere that the navy don't allow using graphite pencils for markings on aluminium boats, because graphite facilitate galvanic corrosion in aluminium. Maybe a point worth considering if you want your stoves to last as long as possible. - Great video though. Thanks for sharing!
very nice, so descriptive i didnt even have to watch the video, did he just say "it doesn't have to be perfect" ? ummm, yea right, bro, looks pretty dam perfect to me, nice stove, i can't wait to buy some foil tape and overlap it 3/4 inch or what did you say? 3 mm? or something, ill just eye-ball it, otherwise ill be at this all day, 10 minutes shy of bed time bro!
A principle lesson from my high school physics class taught me that placing the bottom of the vessel over the blue part of a flame will be the hottest point. The orange-red part of the flame is the coolest. So, adjust the flame and stove height to ensure you are heating with the blue part of the flame, and you will generate the fastest water boil time.

There are lots of these types of videos out there but theres something I really enjoy about yours. Keep up the great work
The sawing between scenes is a nice touch. :)
Bravo. This is great. Thank you. You're inspired me.
Ingenious design.
Very well explained, verbally and pictorially!

Won't the flames damage the glue on the foil tape?
Nope.

can you test boil times for the different heights to find optimum height from the stove?

@@hikefishmakemusic And the least amount of 'sooting'.
You could use those flimsy tent stakes to support a pot maybe?
yup, that could work too!
Nice!
how about gas??
No way! I DO NOT recommend any petroleum-based fuels! Use at your own risk!!!!
