First post here and let me say that I have enjoyed this site very much so far. I live in Western North Carolina and spend a lot of my time backcountry camping the GSMNP. Here is a very easy stove to make out of a tuna can. Plus the alcohol is a multi use item.

Cheers
Feb 12, 2009 at 7:41 pm #1477495Let me guess, youve been there done that? My last one was made with a small tin I found at my local art store but they like many small local comany's have shut thier doors. :( What would you suggest? Ali

Jonathan, you can do the exact same thing with a 3oz.Fancy Feast can for smaller pots.
