I have one of these and I made a beer can alcohol stove to fit inside. Talk about a little turbo set.....!!! My boyfriend who is an old mountain man from the hills of Tennessee wants me to get him one and make him a stove for it. We both wish it was a stainless cup and bottle, too. Ain't timed the burn but it heated water for coffee pretty durn quick. I have a larger swiss mess kit/w alcohol stove but it is a bit much for overnighters or weekend treks. And the stove was too large to fit the Torpedo set. So I went online and followed the diagrams for making a Pepsi-can stove. Though I used two Miller cans. (I don't do soda). It fit in their just perfect and the draft causes it to burn hot and furious. All in all I say it is a good deal. I plan on my next camp out to coat the kit inside and out with a light coating of oil and bake it over some coals to coat the metal so there is less contact with the aluminum and my eats and drinks. Baked on oil/grease equals safe, environmentally friendly teflon type coating that old timers always coated their pans with. Such as the well seasoned cast-iron skillet. Cheers and happy camping, cricket
