For a bare metal finish use steel wool or something similar to remove paint of can. To use: Fill middle opening of stove about half way with fuel. Take caution when lighting. Light in the large, main opening. Burns about minutes. Allow all fuel to burn out before storage. To heat a pot, stabilize pot over the stove using rocks as a stand. Hi mate. I made a pop can stove this afternoon and when i lit it, the jets around the edge put out flame but the center did also.
Is there something i did wrong? I think the inner tube cuts may have been a little rough so could that be the problem? Thank you. Now this looks professional and safer than most I've seen.
I am encouraged to make this one. I would have liked to se a picture of it in use with how to use fuel ratio. I've made four different alcohol stoves based on different instructables, and this is by far my favorite. The others are harder to light, requiring you to hold a flame to the outside of the can to get the alcohol hot enough to produce fumes. After testing them all out, I threw the others away and am now making a bunch of this version to give to my family and friends for their camping packs and bug out bags.
Excellent instructable! Side note, especially about the 'Open flame during use will be hot' statement, Imagine, hot enough to melt the aluminum itself! I put one of these inside an old Sterno stove frame, and put the disc I scored out of the 2nd can bottom, on top..
Within a minute, the piece which was about only an inch from the top of the cans, melted and fell into the center well..
Thankfully, never needed them.. Reply 8 years ago on Introduction. I did the same with a pair of "Steel Reserve" cans someone dumped near a bridge riser, while out Geocache hunting. The only drawback, is it doesn't really add more heat.. But it is still do-able.
I imagine the Foster's can version would be about the size of a standard marine alcohol stove. I can't quite get a clean-cut on the prototypes I've been trying to make, but the whole can stove with the open top, can also be made with just a single can, by cutting the top end about the same distance as from the bottom, but carefully using a knife point to score along the inside of the top, inside the flat with the opening, and using a strip of the can side not used, as the catalyst.
It's the scoring part that I keep mucking up.. But, just scoring the inside of the top, inside the center rib, does work just as well as using a 2nd can bottom.
Great design! I haven't tested it yet, I'll have to do that in a little bit. But here's a pic! Reply 9 years ago on Introduction.
The PDF download is very detailed with good pictures. It features aluminum plenums in a box made of polyiso rigid insulation and has a flat face of Twinwall polycarbonate glazing. Of course, when I write "ram", I mean "really gently push downward". If it didn't get stuck there, you are all set. If it did, pour a few drops of methanol in a pan under the two jammed cans and set it ablaze.
Both will just pop apart. That or the unopened can will explode. Can Stove: Build a backpacking stove out of two aluminum cans: design is strong, reliable, and extrordinarily lightweight, burns alcohol fuels, and can be made for next to no investment of money.
