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.

Aluminium will melt. I use an Alu can for the outer jacket of a double wall stove but the firebox (inner) gets too hot.
Does anyone know where to get a thin sheet of titanium other than titanium goat then?
or if you want a small wood gas stove, you can build one out of a 12oz Heineken can and a sardine can. Burns about 20 minutes.
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!
Let 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.
0.005 titanium from Titanium Goat. http://titaniumgoat.com
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.
