I've been using that design for a boonies retort for mercury for many years. Also a camper heater too. Amazing how important the inside edges being pointed up is as it sure accelerates the oxygen intake. You can regulate the flame height by less holes,great way to warm your camper/tent whatever longer BUT if it falls over what a firey mess. I put a rock/lead weight inside to hold and be more stable. Under the foam the lead doesn't even melt as below the flame. GREAT video Matt and I sure hope 2015 is a goodn' for you and Connie-respect-John

Good idea on the stability - you definitely don't want that thing tipping over. One thing I could've/should've done was put a burn time to boil water (since other videos do that), but it is bound to be fast if you used it for a retort.
Hope all is going good in your neck of the woods! Connie is doing good.
