[at-l] Alcohol stove

This stove is interesting:

I built one and it was ok.  I'm working on a few different "cat food can"
stoves right now that won't require any wire to place the pot on.  I worked
on one tonight that uses 3 cat food cans cut up and stacked together and it
put out a nice, hot flame.  When I finally get it done, I'll post it here.
Even though I have a Primus stove, I like the alcohol stoves too.  They are
fun to make, light, quiet, and the fuel is easy to find (drug stores, Home
Depot, Ace Hardware, etc).
