Could one of you please help me out? I am making a pot support for Anna O'Leary, and I need to know the height of the Trail Designs 12-10 alcohol stove (the height of the the top rim). Anybody sitting next to his/her 12-10 that could do a quick measurement for me? Many thanks!

Gary,

I just so happen to have my new Tri-Ti Sidewinder Inferno and kit next to my desk. Having read Eric expound on the system so many times, I finally had to try one...and from the initial burns it seems to be as good as he has always said. Damn. Now I have to sell my Emberlit mini... :)

The 12-10 measures 1.5" in height at the top rim. I don't know if there is much variance, but I would bet they are all pretty similar.

Thanks so much, Brian! That is perfect for the 2.5" pot stand she needs for her other stove setups. You're my new hero!

I would like to find some light way to snuff a burning 12-10 stove. I haven't been able to think of a can that I could cut off and drop over a burning stove to be able to pour fuel back into my fuel cannister. I've had a couple of times when I vastly overestimated how much fuel I'd need for a particular amount of water, and have had to just let the stove burn itself out. Any thoughts?

I snuff mine with aluminum foil. I took a piece about 8"x4" and folded it in half so that it is about 4"x4". While the burner is cold, you mold the aluminum foil over it to get a loose fit. Then it will work when the burner is burning. The foil might deform a bit when carried, but it is easy to reform it for use. You can use the snuffer foil as a protective cap on the burner while carried.

Also, as you practice more on the fuel quantity, you will get closer to the right amount, so there is less fuel and fire to snuff.

Oh, yes, practice will enable me to be more fuel efficient. I bought a new pot and the Ti-Tri Sidewinder, so it's a little different than using last year's set up. Once in a while I'll try something new, like popping Jiffy Pop over my cone, and not know how much to put in the stove. Did that, would have been nice to just snuff it once I was done, however.

Just use your pot lid. I have a fosters set and the can lid works fine for putting the burning stove out. Just make sure you hold it there for about 5-10 seconds as I've had mine re-ignite if I just snuff and pull the cover straight off.

I use a small panadol baby syringe to suck excess fuel out of mine(it's like a blunt 5ml syringe, not pointed. You get them with baby medication to squirt in there mouth)
I think it weighs a whole 2g and I never had much luck pouring fuel back out of my 12-10 stove..... to many holes.....

Snuffing and recovering..
This is how I do it with various alcohol stoves including the 10-12

I have made a snuffer/dipper cup out of the bottom of an Arizona tea can. Just use a bit of tape to make a handle.

Sorry I didn't get back to you Gary I was away all day,so thanks to everyone who helped:)
