I hate it when I leave the room a minute and when I return I can't find "THAT GUY" I was talking to, and it takes me 10 more minutes to realize it was ME.
On a good day, it only takes Me (US) 4 minutes.
...........HEY, Who you talking to NOW??

I've made the soda can alcohol stoves and they do okay as long as it's not windy.
For a hobby, I search eBay from time to time to try and find a used Svea 123 or 123R,
Optimus 99 or Optimus 8R stove. If all the parts are there, it's not hard at all to bring even a crappy one
back to life and into usable condition. A new Svea 123R isn't made in Sweden any more & costs around $100.
I've found a "real" one for $25-$30 and have a perfectly good camp stove in a few hours of cleaning.
They burn Coleman fuel and are dead reliable in most any conditions you will encounter on a bike trip.
They make huge amounts of heat for their size and are great converation pieces, too. =)
If anyone's interested in a before/after photo, holler off list at edgyver40@...
