I've been thinking about building a stove from a keg can for a while now and finally got around to it.
Here's it's starting to blossom:

Now, you need to make a Keg stove… talk about BTU output in that case :D
I made one from a 24 ouncer-it boiled 32 ounces of water in 5 minutes! The only problem was it took 5 minutes to prime. I made a priming pan for it and got it blossom in 30 seconds. Second problem is it burns so hot it buckled my windscreen. I'd say that with a 7+ ounce fuel capacity it would make a pretty good bang if it overheated! I'm gonna keep working on it and see if we can't tame that sucker (without burning down the house).:D
I think you misunderstood me, I meant making a stove from a REAL keg. ;) Like, so you could BBQ with it. (Apparently I tried to be funny and fell on my face… as usual)
Or I'm a little slow (ok maybe a LOT slow :D
"…and a burn time of 2 days"
Haha!
Does Platypus make a 30-gallon fuel bottle? Maybe something with a hose or at least a squirt top?
