Thanks for the replies and I think my stove might be a little too big after reading your assessments. I made it a little taller than most stoves I was reading about to hold more fuel but this appears to cause it to not perform very well for the last couple of minutes. I plan on building a few different versions and test them all under the same circumstances and see what I like best.

My current stove has 16 holes punched in the top rim and one in the middle (penny stove). I also stuffed it with fiberglass insulation. It has a really nice flame pattern to it except for one larger slightly cockeyed jet hole.

Out of all of these types of stoves what has been your favorite best performing version?
