When you mark the Xs to be drilled, what distance from the top are they (or doesn't that matter).

It doesn't really matter, as long as they are lower than what used to be the shoulder of the bottle. So they go into the pressure chamber and only through the outer wall.
I'm exactly the same mate. Projects everywhere lol.
I do like that little stove, just right for a quick brew when wandering through woods.
Must get to a good pound land need to make one of those ASAP
I need to visit that wonderful store again too. I have run out of small spray bottles now
nicely done crazysaint, compact lightweight and durable, great pics too.
Thanks tinkers. Uploaded a few videos on YouTube, one with the kettle sat flat on the stove (1L boil in 12:42), one with the kettle elevated on a pot stand (ran out of fuel at 6:20, without boiling) and one of the standard size stove (1L boil in 10:10).
Not the fastest stoves in the world, but who wants to rush in the woods? Isn't part of bushcraft living at the easy pace?

my thoughts exactly adam, when you get the kettle on whats the rush, the whole point of stopping for a cuppa when your out walking is to take a break and appreciate your surroundings, plus meths stoves are completely silent, the very first time i used one i was hooked, dont get me wrong though i still use gas but only when i think its a more suitable choice (horses for courses and all that) do you have any direct links to those youtube vids as i'd love to take a looksy.
