[at-l] Drink Can Stove Experience

[lindar@employees.org (Linda Robinson)]

Thanks for the stove report.  I made the Photon stove (Don Johnston design) but mine's made with Knudsen Spritzer cans....seems to work fine!   I haven't taken mine out for a real test yet, but at-home tests work great for boiling water in about 7 minutes.  I've always used the Whisperlight which has worked great, but I really like the simplicity (and the very idea) of the drink can stove.  Think I'll try the 'pepsi can' design also for comparison.
What size/type pot are you using on the stove?  I'm looking at titanium pots, trying to determine if they're worth the $$.  I'd appreciate hearing other opinions on pots?   Linda

I am going to describe how it works and what it does and my experience using it on a two day trip. Here is the article on the stove, http://www.pcthiker.com/pages/gear/pepsistove.shtml. Looking at it will give you an idea of what I am talking about. This is a Pepsi can stove, but living around Atlanta, I had to make it out of Coke cans. I am convinced that the cans are identical.
