I'm sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm having some difficulty and was wondering if anyone had any advice. I made an altoids stove a few weeks back and have been having zero luck getting just about 1 cup of water to boil. I am using perlite, yellow heet, and recently added a windscreen. I'm using a thin stainless steel bowl to boil the water in, but all I get are just a few bubbles in the water before the flame goes out. I even tried relighting it right away but the water still didn't boil before the flame went out a second time. Any hints? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> This is getting frustrating and I was hoping to use this in early April down in Georgia. Thanks in advance for any help!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
