When using the nail to hammer and bend a notch for fitting them together, I would propose to put the notch in the bottom piece and make the notch point down instead of up. This way you wouldn't have to worry about or adjust for the pot hitting the notch. Great video as always!
This is great. Very useful.. - I have a little tip for you though: I notice that you're using a graphite pencil to mark off on the aluminium can.. I believe I read somewhere that the navy don't allow using graphite pencils for markings on aluminium boats, because graphite facilitate galvanic corrosion in aluminium. Maybe a point worth considering if you want your stoves to last as long as possible. - Great video though. Thanks for sharing!
A principle lesson from my high school physics class taught me that placing the bottom of the vessel over the blue part of a flame will be the hottest point. The orange-red part of the flame is the coolest. So, adjust the flame and stove height to ensure you are heating with the blue part of the flame, and you will generate the fastest water boil time.
very nice, so descriptive i didnt even have to watch the video, did he just say "it doesn't have to be perfect" ? ummm, yea right, bro, looks pretty dam perfect to me, nice stove, i can't wait to buy some foil tape and overlap it 3/4 inch or what did you say? 3 mm? or something, ill just eye-ball it, otherwise ill be at this all day, 10 minutes shy of bed time bro!
