Anyone into can stoves? I got into making them during lockdown and found it a fun hobby. Settled on this side burner design http://zenstoves.net/BasicSideBurner.htm as not crazy complex to make, but tough enough that it feels like fun.
However the last two times I tried using my stove outside it hasn't managed to jet. I guess it just hasn't reached temperature in the relatively chilly mornings? Surely people are using can stoves below 5 degrees though. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? I've been thinking of getting/making some kind of insulation from the ground, either a bit of silver foil or maybe silicon caulking the bottom of the can.
