Making the penny alcohol stove

Alcohol stove. Ishes this effect by increasing the central flame if the stove starts to overheat. The central flame is located relatively far from the lip of the burner on the Penny stove, and so contributes less to heating the burner than the peripheral jets. c) The windscreen affects the amount of oxygen available to the burner, and thus the burn rate. Again, the Penny regulator offsets this effect if the stove gets too much oxygen." Can I use other pot supports? You can use any of the great pot support ideas found on the Web but it must let in lots of air and not reflect heat back to the stove. Also, make sure that the pot is at least 1" from the top of the cup rim. A little more distance will heat faster, simmer shorter and be more susceptible to the wind. Less distance will heat much slower and use much more fuel. I use the double "U" support because it allows full flame contact with the pot and full air supply to the flame, and, does not suck heat from the pot or reflect heat back to the stove. It also folds to fit into almost any pot and keeps the pot from sliding. Also, it lets me slide the burner in or out and there are advantages to having the wind shield separate from the support. WARNING!!! The pot support used for this stove could be VERY DANGEROUS when the pot is removed. Falling on the support could cause major damage. Always remove the support or turn upside down when not cooking. How do you pack this thing? Stove in cup, 8 oz. fuel, windscreen, pot support, lighter, matches, salt pepper, pot handel, spork, pot scrubber (bottom). Coffee, tea, coco, and alcohol stove
