Copper Cat Alcohol Stove part of The Troop 73 Alcohol Stove Project

being a pipefitter i had the same idea.2"cap end drilled with 16 1.5mm holes around the sides.on the inside i slid in a piece of 2"pipe which had slots in it cut with an angle grinder with a cutting disc.what was left of the copper end was pushed inwards to form a tapered end.so it was like inverting the neck of a bottle into the cap end.it burns well.its an indestructible side burner that weighs a ton!to be fair yours probaly works just as good.

@hydraman5 I'd love to see a video of it!

What does this Bad Boy weigh in at? I love the idea, would take a lot to bust this one up while out! Stepping on it might just make it mad being it is so tough! LOL

The video states the holes are 3/4 inches. Did you mean 3/8 inch?

[MrBillTroop73]

Holy Smoke! I messed up!

The holes are 1/4" in size.

nice lighter

[MrBillTroop73]

Thanks, I filled it with propane instead of butane, and it works much better!

[MrBillTroop73]

Yeah, but it was a good experiment based on how SGT Rock uses brass.

And, we found that copper is an even better heat conductor than brass, and tried several stove experiments using it.

Well its not a cheap stove or lite weight.These super cat stoves there is no rules or size holes they just work.
