Hey, PhunkyMunkey, There are quite a number of cottage gear makers who sell alchy stoves ready made. Don't have specifics for you right now, but check the gear makers list on this site, or do a search for stoves. Don't give up. Let me join in saying thanks for your service. Mine was Navy/Marine Corps, Korean War era. Yeah, gear was a bit different, but some of it quite good and workable, even today (still use my canteen cup and "Canteen cup holder" with solid fuel (today, Esbit) and it's handy on day trips. Bit too heavy for long trips, though. Best, jcp
