DarenN is Stove Of The Month winner for the month of April

Congratualations DarenN

the Wick-ed Stove.




both tops installed in the lid make a snuffer:


simmerring top:


"keep warm" top:


this isn't a small stove (2 3/4" round x 1" tall) so it's not all that efficient. 1oz M/H boils 2c in 6 minutes. flame out about 12 minutes. i think the versatility of the different tops is nice for cooking, rather than just boiling water.

The winner for the month of June is "Ridgerunner"

His Microlyte Stove was chosen as favorite:



The Microlyte is a hybrid of the famous Starlyte. It is smaller and lighter and holds a lttle less than 3/4 ounce of fuel. The cover insulation came from a furnace in Stumpjumper's garage and it came in a flat sheet, maybe 3/16" thick. The simmer ring works extremely well but you'll need pliers, a glove, or a stick to remove it as it gets hot. The burner will boil two cups of water in a little over eight minutes using 1/2 ounce of denatured alcohol, 63 degree water, and in Momma's 75 degree kitchen. . The tin is the same thickness as the wedding favor tin and is 1 1/2" diameter, making it one of the smallest two cup boiler.
