Here’s what you’ll need!
RECIPE OR INSTRUCTION:
Soda Can Stove
Supplies
2 empty aluminum cans
A marker
Small block of wood
Box cutter
Scissors
Cotton
Small nail
Alcohol or anti-freeze fluid
Bricks or rocks
Small candle
Lighter
High-heat safe piece of metal, or penny from before 1982 (Pennies from this time are 95% copper, instead of zinc)
Instructions
Place you can next to a short block of wood (approximately 2.5 in/6 cm). Place your marker on the wood, with the tip touching you can. Turn the can in a full circle to mark where to cut your can.
Carefully cut out the bottom sections of the can with a box cutter. Trim the rough edges with scissors.
Place a small handful of cotton in one of the bottoms, and fit the other bottom over top. Carefully close the can ends together
Punch evenly spaced holes around the rim of the can. Punch five holes on the top center of the can.
Slowly fill the can with your flammable liquid by pouring small amounts through the top holes.
Once filled, take your stove outside and set it over a small candle for about 5-10 minutes. This will create a gas inside the can that will begin to exit through the holes.
Splash a small amount of the fluid over the stove (it’s ok to let it drip over the sides), and quickly light it.
The stove will yield a tall flame in the center until you place a copper penny or other high-heat safe metal over the five center holes.
The flame will quickly stabilize, and begin to come out the sides.
Set up your grill, and enjoy your new camp stove!
