When finished it will probably be 3 inches long. That will take the Tygon tubing away from under the flame patern. Once you get a windscreen around the stove and pot, heat will build up and I dont want it having any effect on the flex line. The IV bag is about 4 inches wide and 6 inces tall and holds 250ml of fuel. Were going to be using the remote for a long time simmer or cooking/boiling. It's not going to be used to heat 2 cups of water. 3/4 ounce of fuel dumped into the center of the stove will do that.(field conditions)
I saw on the net the other day a remote fueled stove that is being used to heat 2 cups of water. It took 12 min. and approx 1 ounce of fuel. I can't help but to think that the people buying the stove will eagerly drink the cool aid when passed around
