Try buying one. A White Box, a Past Primitive stove, a Mini Bull Atomic - absolutely no trouble boiling water.

They are far, far cheaper than any manufactured stove. I can stand on the White Box and never damage it. Dead simple and a decently fast boil.

I have a box of stoves I tried to make and use - I keep them to remind myself when the geek starts to think, I could make one of those...
