I shared the idea on the Coker Creek GPAA Forum. Another member mentioned a "penny stove". I never heard of that before so I went and looked one up. Basically it is the bottoms of 2 soda cans placed inside of one another and one side has holes in it looking like a gas stove. I am running mine off of some "Heet" that comes in a yellow bottle. You find it in Automotive sections because it is a Gas Line Anti-Freeze. The "Penny" come in where you throw a penny in the center to cover your filler holes.
Compact and light weight. I do not have a video of me testing it but I am sure you can find one lit up on Youtube. It does work and puts out a good amount of heat to cook on.
I also kept checking the Canteen Shop to see if they had their grill top stove stand back in stock. I was in luck and they did. I immediately ordered mine. This will fit right under my canteen cup for storage in the pouch. I consider it a little on the expensive side for what it is but since it is stainless steel instead of aluminum and the design over the G.I. issued style, worth it. You can start a small fire under it with twigs and other stuff or use a penny stove.

The Stove came in today. That was fast shipping on the Canteen Shops part. Here is a little video of me testing out the Grill Top Stove. Yes, my other grill is dirty but all the better to test on it before cleaning. I just went around the yard collecting twigs to burn. It got the water pretty hot to where I could not put my finger in it without burning.
I just noticed the quality is down when uploading videos to Blogger. I can see the bubbles in the water on my Phone. Oh well, it works to heat up water very nicely.
I will edit later and add a video of it being used with the penny stove burner. That I really want to test.
There are plenty of recipes on the internet for canteen cup cooking so I think I am set on being able to prepare foods on the trail.
