Tinny does a lot of R&D - he stopped making most of his old style stoves and now does these UFO looking things... I really like the Mini Atomic, have a Choke Hazard - he's got some stove-fu for sure. It's entirely possible this was some transitional model as he evolved the Blackfly.

I've steam baked with the Blackfly - it's pretty cool. Having an adjustable wick makes it all work.
