FinallyME post a chart on the stoves if you can to prove your point. Of course what pot is used, temperture of water should be 50F not 65F as many stove makers try to get away with IMO, quantity of water, thickness of pot metal, weight of stove.

I'm incompetent to do it that's why i suggest you do it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />


You mean to tell me that all those things are important. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I thought best guess was how you scientifically proved things. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Well, back to the drawing board. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

On a serious note, I would like to see a comparison done between using the round altoids, and the square. Use the same design, just one with the round can, and one with the origianl square one. My "best guess" is that the round would be more efficient. I guess I will have to test and see. hehe.

You do have a good point Earthling. I guess I could start a spreadsheet to compare. I would have to build all the stoves to compare them though. There is error in that as well. But, the only fair way to compare is to use the same pot, quantity of water, ambient air temperature, water temperature etc.
