nice stove! I haven't seen that design yet. How does the simmer cover you made work for you? Also, you mentioned the cooking times which are nice and long, what exactly are you cooking when you go touring with that setup? And how do the insulation wraps you fabricated work for you? As Staehpj1 mentioned, you could go much lighter with the pop can stove design, and it sounds like the power is comparable in terms of boiling times. I personally haven't tried the pop can stove with a simmer ring (you can make one from the top of the pop can and set it on top just like you did in the photo). Staehpj1, have you tried a simmer ring on your stove?
