Been looking at woodgas stove plans and haven't seen any using nested aluminum cans of different sizes. I'm sure there is a reason for this. I'm guessing that the cans will melt. Can anyone confirm or refute this? I'm just thinking that a small aluminum can based woodgas would be lighter than the on...

Not sure if I'm putting this in the right forum. Ok, I finally decided that I need a digital scale for weighing the gear that I make and buy... just finding it difficult to decide what to get. I want the cheapest thing that will work reliably. I want to weigh really light things like alcohol stoves,...

that looks like a lot of fun and a very nice area to camp. GReat job on the hammock and everything else too. Chapeau for getting your girl out. :D Yep. Nice park.
