New Old Camp Stove Technology

Here is a crude alcohol stove I made from a mint tin and a coffee can. It uses denatured alcohol (which is available at any hardware store), burns clean, won't explode, and is very light and portable. This one burns very hot and burns out very quickly; my next one will have a larger resevoir (made out of a bigger mint tin) and smaller holes to make it last longer. This little thing will come in handy when there is a burn ban (which is about half the time, here in central Texas).
