@grich9860 For a Heineken pot, you may need to use a smaller diameter can. Also, with the indent on the bottom, the stand may need to be taller to get the right air gap. Best wishes,

@grich9860 I couldn't help myself. I tested the stove "as is" with a Heineken pot. The stove took a little longer to reach a full "bloom". 2 cups of 70F water boiled using 15 ml S-L-X. Time to boil was 8:45 with flame out @ 10:10. I think that I would raise the center pot support by 1/4" to speed up the bloom time.

Best withes,

Jon
