I was wondering if anyone has seen a good aluminum can out there to use for a hobo wood burning stove. I have a pint steel one that I use with my 24oz aluminum can but it is quite big and heavy for the 12oz aluminum can I have. Thanks.

I have not melted one yet, but the hot embers are contained in the sardine can. Downside is you need a starter and a pot stand or dig a hole and use a grate.

No foil, but fairly thin sheet titanium. Worth a look!
Aug 18, 2009 at 9:48 am #1521603Let me correct the first statement. I have a quart steel paint can for my 24oz Heineken can. I was using a pint steel paint can for my pop can pot. I would like to find something that is of similar size to the pint can but that will weigh less. Thanks.
As for Titanium Joe, I looked and then looked away due to my budget.

for more photos of stove built of this material operating, and collapsed for carrying. I've been using since January and would change very little.
