These entirely changed my camping experience. Lightweight, no running out of prepackaged fuel, fast heat, cheap, no moving parts, and easily replaceable. We've even made extras just to give away.

We use a modified version of design 2, leaving the bottom on and using the top of the can to make the ash stand. Instead of using a separate larger metal piece, we make the bottom holes in the side upside down by punching nail holes to use as lever points for the bottle opener. That lets us use the metal triangles inside (bent at 90°) to support the ash stand.
