On my sons return from school we set about making one of these. We used a normal 330 ml drinks can. It took literally 5 minutes and worked a peach. With a one litre camping pan with half a litre of water it took just 4 minutes (give or take a few seconds) to boil. If we had a lid it would have been quicker yet. You do need a flat surface given the narrow 'cooker' base and the resulting instability. However . . .

If it just boiling for one, then there is no reason why it cant be a main cooker. For those of us old enough to have used a mentholated spirit Trangia, this is no slower or different (except the wind shield) and certainly cheaper.
Still not sure if I am brave enough to try petrol. Anyone fancy the challenge? If I do I might wear the welding gloves and mask.
