A couple dozen designs for DIY camp stoves. Most are free, the rest are pretty cheap. Some are quite snazzy.

Cool site, though I was disappointed that the "cat stove" didn't use any part of a cat in it at all... ;)

thanks for sharing tho... :D

Good site SmartAZ,definitely going in my favorites. Right now I have 2 double burner propane stoves(second one was given to my well after I bought the first) plus a MSR Superfly. The MSR will bring 10 oz. of water to a rolling boil in under 90 seconds. Lightweight and easily fits in my day pack too.

I've been playing around with these homemade alcohol stoves for the last couple of months and am pretty impressed with some of these designs. I definitely reccomend you build more than one as your assembly skills will really improve (mine sure did) which really aids the stoves efficiency. This is my latest project that I attempting http://www.csun.edu/~mjurey/penny.html#.
I have used several MSR stoves (A DragonFly is in my Backpacking gear box) and have found them quite robust, repairs are easily carried out (make sure you have a spare parts kit) and they really boil water fast. The big problem I have with them is in a tactical hide situation they are really loud and could compromise you. In the Army I always used an esbit stove, but I have high hopes for these simple alcohol stoves, since they are non toxic, cheap (make and run)and silent.

If you don't like carrying fuel, check out the Sierra ZIP stove. Yes, it needs one AA cell to run, but it runs for a LONG time. And once it's going, you can feed it damp twigs and pine cones, and it will burn just fine.

Here's the REI page for ordering:

Here's a review:

Interestingly, the guy doing the review wanted the battery attached to the base, instead of separately located on a wire. My earlier model ZIP stove was built just that way. The remote battery holder came later.

(Target's store brand). It works great and I like it because it's about the size of a small briefcase and very light. uses those little propane bottles. real easy to tote around

I recommend the Century brand two-burner tabletop campstove over the Coleman. The Century is made in Illinois, and has the same type of construction, stainless steel sealed burners, etc., as the Coleman, and it is a few bucks cheaper. The Coleman in made in China. I also have an adapter hose that lets me use the 20 pound tanks on gear like this stove designed for the little one pound tanks.
