    You could use “Human Feast” human flesh cans. Family Soilent stores sell it here in MN.

    But it is …
    But it is impossible–at least here–to find an aluminum tuna can that diameter. So if by “work” you mean being punchable with a paper punch and lightweight–no, it wouldn’t work. But it would work in the sense of it would be round and would hold fire. We are hoping for more, though.

    I like the “minimalist” idea. Some disposable aluminum pans in the grocery store are made from heavy guage foil, and can be cut for windscreen. Some stoves sit on ground and other designs hang from a chain. The beauty is being able to fashion custom made but lightweight gear.

    i have found armour makes a potted meat in the same size can and you get to eat whats in the can( or put the cat food lable on the potted meat and really mess with your friends when you eat the contents!) Vienne sausage cans are taller but work well too.

    Hello Andrew,
    …
    Hello Andrew,
    Terrific Job! I have two questions: Have you experimented with putting insulation inside the can to prevent the evaporation of the fuel? Do you think a small stand(maybe a 1/2 inch from the top of the stove) could improve the distribution of the flame on larger pots? Great job with the video by the way. Take care.

    I found that rubbing alcohol leaves alot of soot. I’ve tried denatured alcohol (also sold as shellac remover) and it burns so cleanly you barely see the flame in the bright sun. No soot at all. Heard you should only get Heet in the yellow bottle. Also, everclear from the liquor store is supposed to work well, too.

    Cheaper, maybe, but I doubt many (or any) are turned off by the $.39 expense of this stove. Re the tea lite: it’s more fragile; it can’t hold as much fuel (and therefore can’t boil as much water); it’s less stable; and it also needs a separate pot stand.

    I love making these but i use tuna cans and larger holes. the only downside is it is dificult to ballance say a pot or water on top. I know my spelling sucks. I did how ever cook some instant noodles on top or one. I was using turps. Any tips on how to not have them rust? oh yeah they are annoying to re-fuel if the run out. 5 Stars!
