[at-l] Alcohol stove revisited
I added a bail to my grease pot. I drilled a hole near the top on either side and
fabricated connectors out of an old tent cord tensioners (bent to shape with
pliers). I attached them through the drilled holes to the greasepot with small
threaded bolts (with a dab of superglue to hold the nuts) and threaded a section
of anodized coat hanger wire through the two connectors, with the ends of the
coat hanger bent around neatly (more or less). I crimped a "hold" in the
connectors so that the bail would remain upright if I wanted it to.
I also filed a channel through the rolled lip of the greasepot with my moto-tool
so those last few drips could get out.
Finally, I replaced the knob on the top to the pot with a much lighter one I
found in my junk drawer.
