I diy'd my own version of the Kojin stove. Got some 40ml cosmetic tins from Aliexpress, and cut out carbon-felt (plumbers-felt) circles. It beats all my other alcohol stoves.
My primary twig stove/stand/windscreen is the Goshawk Ti multi-fuel wood-gas burner, the Eddy-200 Pioneer (I know, long cumbersome name, I didn't make it, but really love to use it!) together with the Lixada siphon alcohol stove with snuffer/simmer mods (super easy to snuff & recover unused fuel & burn off the rest, so as not to contaminate my pot/mug), which all nests in my Boundless Voyage Ti 900ml tall pot with locking folding handle. I have a 125ml HDPE alcohol fuel container that fits in the alcohol stove, allowing for 4 burns of 2 cups of water, or enough for a brew & a rehydrated meal. Plus a lighter, a folding spork, a couple carbon felt trivets, one wrapped in aluminum foil to protect my wife's precious plastic tablecloth (happy wife, happy life😉) coffee/tea 🍵 bags, cream & sugar. But the Goshawk stove displaced my 450ml Ti cup with homemade reflectix coozy, that I use for steam baking/food reheating, now stores 1 cup of hardwood pellets in a plastic bag, (oh, and my other, 1st alcohol stove, Evernew Ti copy, Lixada with fiberglass wick, blooms under 30 secs) for a near instant emergency fire, with a splash of alcohol to start, it will burn for 90 mins, with little to no smoke, 35 mins active flame 🔥 then 55 mins of useable heat, leaving nothing but ash. (40lb bag hardwood pellets $8 Cdn Tire= 160 cups or 5¢/burn! 3.78L methyl hydrate paint thinner $15 or 12¢/burn) I'm looking for a Ti double wall cup with sippy lid that will fit inside the Goshawk... And I would recommend a pliers multitool to drop & recover ur cup, without burning ur hands or maybe a fish mouth spreader tool?
Please accept some constructive criticism from me. I have over 50 years experience of operating in the outdoors. Really great to see all your stove/burner combinations. However, I would suggest that you cut down on your options, it would save a lot of faffing around with different stoves. Stick to one ,or two stoves at the most, and things will be better for you when you are out in the wild. Additionally, please check with the Islandic authorities if you are intending to use heximine fuel blocks. Lots of juristrictions in Europe have banned the use of these fuel tablets as they are a chemical precursor that can be used by terrorists to manufacture illegal explosives. Wouldn't want to see you detained on arrival ! Happy Trails !
@Avi_K_dog Forgot to mention this little bit of advice. See your lava-stones/pumice-stones. In the past I've found them too fragile for proper wilderness use. OK for cooking on the back porch or in a grid down situation, but bulky for carrying in the wild and liable to break if knocked or dropped. Some start to crumble after being used. Best way to transport them is in a Tupperware type box, with any spare space in the box filled with tissues/Toilet Paper/J-cloths/rags. The packing will stop them moving around and rattling. Hope you don't mind me making these points to you. Have a great day.

Thanks for the advice. I like the community response on these spirit burner videos. It’s awesome
