Soup can bottom: ~100 holes for the grate 16 draft and 16 top secondary holes

Fill burner half way up w/pine needles, bark and twigs

light using a few drops of alcohol, add cat food riser pot stand

Pot does get sooty but not as bad as with cooking over primary combustion fires

Brought my 16oz of 50F water to a boil in ~10minutes

the remaining coals simmered my water for another 10-15minutes!
