Missionary stove from pop cans

[roguedawg 10]

I ran across this alcohol stove while surfing on YouTube. I wrote up the instructions as a handout in my Outpost. I gave some to some local troops and they liked it. I hope you like it as well.

I am new to this forum and I am not sure if I can post this .pdf in the thread. If I can't figure out how to post an image and the file, you can go to this website to download. I want to be a blessing to scouts as well as Royal Rangers.

The stove burner can be made using just a jack-knife. God bless and camp on! RD

roguedawg,

 

Welcome to the forums. Not to steal your thunder, but these kind of stoves are not new and have been discussed here before. If you like the stove, you'll love this site that provides instructions for many different DIY models.

SR540Beaver,

 

Nobody stole my thunder since I didn't come up with the idea in the first place! HA! Thanks for the link. I will check it out later today. So where is the thread to the stoves on this forum? There is a vast knowledge base out there to draw from. I like this kind of DIY stuff. I was taught to improvise by my ASM. He said that, "Usually the answer to a problem is within 50 feet of you." It has been tested and usually is correct.

RD,

 

Here are a few of links to previous threads I found using the search feature. I'm sure there are more than these that I found since I limited my search to the equipment forum.
