[at-l] tin can man stove

[dennis@bcontech.com (Dennis Gass)]

I've been spending considerable time with mine and it's working good.  I
think you will find it to be a good one.  

My first use of it was a little comical and I hope there were no video
cameras.  I recoated my tent and I used a couple of towels to wipe the
excess solvent and coating from the tent as part of the process.  About
an hour later I tried out the tin can stove man stove.  I had the stove
sitting on my metal table on my wooden deck.  There was the slightest
breeze but the alcohol stoves are so much more susceptible to the breeze
than my canister stove and I didn't have a wind screen handy.  I grabbed
the towel that was close at hand to use as a wind screen and you know,
the instructions on the can of waterproofing were correct, it is really
flammable.  The flame lept over and the towel was in full flame.  It was
sitting on my table which wouldn't have burned, but I didn't want to
leave the mess behind from a burned towel so I flipped it off...right
onto my wooden deck.  After a few kicks with my foot I had it out in the
yard, the only damage done was a bruised ego.
