@tempestaisback You use the entire contents of the can first. Then you drill a small hole through the swedged on cap. After that, you pry the cap off.
@TheBgcheez Your correct in that propane is faster. A typical Alcohol stove sytems weighs about 1/2 the weight of a JetBoil or Pocket Rocket. Alcohol stoves work very well at low temperatures when cannister stoves have a weak output or don't work at all. Each style of stove has advantages and disadvantages as I use alcohol, propane and white gas stoves as well.
@FriarTuck1961 The stove will function like a supercat or white box stove as you describe. The "bloom" time is rather long though, also, the top diameter is pretty small so I would image that the pot would not be very stable in that mode.
@MrBillTroop73 Now I have to go to the swap meet to look for a door knob! Interesting thought though, some door knobs are made from brass and are hydroformed (many, many years ago, I designed locks for the Schlage lock company). I might be able to make a complete stove with no seams! Of to the swap meet.....
Interesting departure. Rather pretty. This appears to approach a forced central flame. If you can get down your central port to 3/4" then I think that it will heat much faster. You can also wick the sides. The colour of the flame (too blue) does not appear lean enough for greatest heat.
@TheBeebopper I wanted to work on a simple stove with a central flame for quite a while now. The pieces literally fell together as I had pieces scattered around and that steel can fits perfectly into a soda can. I started with a small exit diameter and had to increase the size to reduce the boil time.
@jonfong57 If you look at the size of the flame front at the exit port in the early stage with part of the flame level with the inlets, then this is the size your exit port should be for this burner pot, I think. It is possible you should bring down the inlet ports a little (to heat line?) and probably use more. You can force combustion by increasing thermal feedback or wicking. Although it looks nicer than a flat top can burner, I suspect it wont perform as well. Prove me wrong.
how did you cut open the pressurized can without it exploding?

10 min to boil 2 cups? My little propane stove does it in 2 and weighs almost nothing.

Nice stove. Interesting design concept.
Looks like it could also be used like a supercat or white box stove if you put the pot directly on the stove.

Initially, I thought it was a door knob. Nice work!
