Altoids Stove

[hazmat]

Made a small alcohol burner using an Altoids tin as found in loads of places on Utube.
Works a treat, and here's how i did it.
Fits nicely into my BOB. I've also tried it with petrol and it does work BUT as with all petrol burners, a bit smelly.
AS with all burners, less fuel is best so don't overfill it.
Note:- The lid gets VERY HOT as does the whole stove so don't try to close it with bare fingers.

Are you are really going to burn DEET and inhale the fumes.!!

I bet you end up spinning around on your back with your legs in the air.

Well you can boil your water and keep the mosquitos away at the same time ...sounds like a win win to me
