| The peach can has 4 slits about 1/2 " long cut in the top edge. These are bent in slightly to hold the trioxane burner assembly centered. The trioxane burner is the tuna can upside down with the large soup can on top. It is nested inside the peach can and the whole thing is set inside the Sterno stove instead of a sterno can. |

| Another view of the cans. As you will see, more holes were necessary (there are 8 now in the trioxane burner in this shot) as well as trimming 1/2" off both the peach can and soup can. A total of 16 holes were punched in the peach can (wood burner) in order to get enough air to the wood fire. |
| The stove in action; third test with trioxane, as you can see, it works fine. Here a quart of water is boiling, one fuel tablet would heat a meal fine. This is actually the 1 quart test, note the pot is bigger. By the way, this set of pots is a $13 set from Walmart. They are quite well made, heavy stainless steel with copper bottoms, 2 pots and lids and a nesting frypan and 2 plastic cups and tote bag. Not a bad price for serviceable equipment. |

| Now for the wood fuel test. The inner cans (trioxane burner assembly) have been removed, a double layer of thin aluminum (newspaper printing stuff) has been added under the can for a heat shield, and the fire laid. The fire lay consists of some small twigs on top of a wadded facial tissue. That pile of wood is enough for about a half hour burn, maybe a little longer. |
