Cooking with New Fuel System

I've got 1.5 hours on this new alternative fuel stove and still going. This morning I heated water to a boil in a can using a pot support and coffee can.
With the can on top holding water, the soot became more obvious. The heat could have been better contained with a windscreen added, and lid, but this morning it was all about how long the fuel would last.

This is totally doable and survival mode. My next adventure is building an oven to use with this fuel system. It will have a much broader base, and be insulated.

Meanwhile, the garden is doing good. I picked produce this morning. Every day we get something. I'm working on expanding the garden, not so easy perched atop a mountain with marvelous trees all around.
Its a great challenge, building up the soil, adding our own compost and not having any dirt hauled in.
I wouldn't have it any other way!
