What were you lighting the stove with? the little silver thing with the flame? Thank you.

That's my peanut lighter. You can get them at Country Comm. They're pretty neat because they have a o-ring and take regular lighter fluid too. That o-ring keeps the lighter fluid from evaporating. The fluid lasts for months if you don't use it instead of days like the old zippo!

I got the wick from a online candle store.

The aluminum plates I got from work.

They were some sort of ID tag for some tooling.

Nice, simple, safe. A picture of pot stand base would be good, but I think I can visualize it from your description.

I just thought of another idea for the false bottom that won't require a screw rivet gun.

Take a piece of aluminum about the same size as the bottom. Drill 3 slightly oversize holes for a screw (standard or metric). Put a nut on and insert through hole in aluminum plate. Adjust the distance from the bottom of the plate to the bottom of the screw and tighten the nut against the plate. Now there will be about 3/16-1/4" of thread sticking through the plate. Now the rods only need to be tapped.
