1) Raise the height of the Tri-ox bar on the bottom of a car-tin or some other insert, that will put it within an inch (or two) or "closer" to the vessel.
2) Shugmery made a pot-lid, and used the cup rather than the flask ... under 8 minutes using a mini-bongo spirit burner.
3) Wondering is fresh production ESBIT cubes would fare any better. (if the height was properly adjusted / elevated).
4) Turn off the lights !
5) Thanks !!

I'd like to know the source for these little stove, if they can sell them for 10 bucks imagine how cheap they would be at cost.

looks like that would be enough to pasturize your water, but cooking is out

Paint the exterior of the bottle and the cup with 1200f black hi-temp paint to help with heat absorption. The interior and exterior of the stove can also be painted with hi-temp paint - it will not deleteriously effect the stove, and may even help its performance.

Two Errors:
1. Trioxane does not burn properly sitting upon a metal surface. You must first put a layer of dirt in the bottom of the stove before lighting. Burn time will increase 50%. Triox was designed for US GI stove, intended to be burned upon the ground.
2. Despite what many say, triox DOES have a shelf life. Old triox will burn too quickly.
I've brewed MANY cups of hot tea in the Volcano w/triox over 20 years using only 1/3 -2/3 of a trioxane tablet. I've NEVER seen triox soot before.

how tall each,are the cooker and the bottle? also, can you tell me the out side diameter of the cooker please?
Interesting series with the Swiss Ranger stove. I have it on good account the original stove for this kit is a Borde. Sometime known as the "Borde Bomb. They are still being made in Switzerland although on a very limited basis. You wouldn't by chance, have one would you Hiram?

I wish. Everytime I see them on eBay they go for a pretty hefty price. You know, that might explain the shape of the door.
