We used the Amazing Tin Can Stove successfully last week.  To support the 
pot, I used 3 or 4 rocks which supported the pot less than an inch above the 
top of the stove.  We rested the windscreen from an MSR stove on the rocks, 
as well.  This worked well, but would it have been better if the windscreen 
had shielded the flame as well as the pot.

The last two days we used the Triangia stove, with its own stove stand with 
three interlocking pieces.  Cooking time was reduced because the windscreen 
rested on the ground, and shielded the flame and the pot.  For a small pot of 
about 3/4 quart, boiling time was 8 minutes.
