Simple Foolproof Stove
Needed to Build items
1 a 6 ounce round tuna can with Lid
2 an Altoids Sour tin with Lid
3 a Hand paper punch like wal mart sells for a couple of Dollars,and on ebay.
4 a good can opener
Now we are ready to build a Simple multi fuel fool proof stove.
open your tuna Can, and eat, or give to your cat the tuna, keeping the
lid, wash them out, and remove the paper label.
Now taking your Paper punch, punch out 4 holes evenly spaced, as close
to the bottom of your tuna can, as you can
then punch out 8 holes evenly spaced as close to the top of your
tuna can, as you can.
Your tuna can lid is used as a fire snuffer to put out the stove
Eat the Altoids sours, sharing with friends, Clean out the Can when done.
now your stove is complete, it will burn Hexamiene, and triox heat bars and tabs,
also rubbing Alcohol, denatured Alcohol.
as a heat tab stove, just turn the altoids sour tin bottom portion, with its lid removed
upside down, and place your heat tab or triox bar on top, placed inside of your tuna can.
Light it, and put your pan on the tuna can, and cook.
for rubbing alcohol, or Denatured alcohol, turn your altoid tin right side up,
fill the bottom portion, less than half way up with alcohol
place in your tuna can. light, and place your pot on top of the tuna can, your now cooking
If you want to get fancy, one can get some perolight , from a nursery store, and some copper screening
putting them in the bottom portion of your altoid tin, this will give a better regulated heat
when burning alcohol (Safe for the endorsement)
You can also use fiberglass insulation material,
and even cotton balls to absorb and wick the Alcohol for a better regulated flame, but perolite works best.
by putting the lid of your altoid sour tin. you can now snuff out your stove when not used......
or... with a needle put 10 holes in the ridge
it has ringing the top advertising you have made a hotter burning stove, but close tightly.
and driblle a teaspoon of alcohol on the top
you just closed tightly and then lite it will soon
blossom into a very blue (Hot) flame
that if You filled half way up will cook for about 18 minutes or more.
long enough to heat a simple meal and or coffee and tea.
top ramen anyone?
chicken top Ramen and Tuna is a great pick You up.
Survive safely and get home safe,
have fun camping
