From start to finish how long did the stove take Phatch? I have seen these numerous times and the amount of time it takes to create one seems to defeat the point. A friend of mine turned me onto the Little bug stoves.

Doesn't use alcohol or anything like that but it is lite and easy to use providing there is no fire ban.
