Nice! My friend made me one in high school that works pretty well. The only problem I have is that I have to refill it quite often. It is small and is just the top of an aluminum bottle inverted in the bottom of the bottle, with two notches cut in the top, and holes in the bottom for the fuel to escape and burn. Takes a little bit to get it boiling, but I love it.

Very nice. I played with several of these. Kept trying to make them lighter. Cooking is always a problem. The fuel spills, stove orfices plug, parts break, fuel cannister don't reseal. Switched to solid fuel. Esbit tabs or hexamine. Can dunk the darn thing in water and it will still light. Break it to pieces and put it in a pile, still burns. Love it. It leaves a residue and a windscreen is necessary to get a full pot to boil with one tablet. I have found nothing else to be as reliable and most importantly light.
