Here's a good place to start: http://zenstoves.net/
Folks, if you're going to post negatively about something, have some perspective about what its designed for and limit criticism to specifics. In today's world of $3 coffee, complaining that someone is trying to sell a titanium set of anything for $38 is truly idiotic. Fair enough to say you can make a can stove for next to nothing, but its really not the same thing as this set. Might be to you, but a little self-centered to say it is to everyone.
If you think you're saving weight on titanium, you're not. You'll have to carry more fuel because a cup of burning alcohol is really inefficient, so you are gaining weight in fuel, which in a stove system far outweighs the can whether it's Ti, or Al. Also, you're carrying the weight and bulk of the chicken wire, and the flashing. In most can stoves, you can rest the cook pot directly on the can, so you eliminate the weight and need for the stand/chicken wire. And a piece of aluminum foil is lighter, and more compactable than the flashing, so you can fit your stove, the fuel, and the flashing inside your cook pot to save space.
Seriously.. do some research. Go to youtube, and look for hiram cook. He does TONS of tests on various designs of alcohol stoves, all of which will work better than a cup and are made from recycled materials for free. The can stoves are stupid easy to make, or if you're really lazy you can buy them on ebay for like $5.
As far as cooling down. my aluminum can stove cools to the touch about 45-60 seconds after its burned out. Do you need it to cool faster than 60 seconds? You're not even done eating or drinking what ever you cooked by then.
