That's so funny GT... I bought one too and I found it too big!!! I use a Heineken can for cooking... and the BPL stove it just too big for it. I WISH they would make one sized for beer cans... or make the same one with bigger support tips that would come in far enough to support a beer can. Some say you can bend the legs to get it to work with a beer can... but I've had no luck with that... the feet no longer touch the ground solidly and it still feels pretty precarious where the pot sits. I mean... you can SORT OF get it to work... but it's far from idea and it really doesn't seem stable. For now, I'm just using a simple hardware cloth stand with the bottom of a V8 can for an esbit holder. Low tech... but it works.

To extinguish the flame, smother it... maybe with the lid of your pot or something. I don't know if blowing on fire is a wise idea.
