You can make another one more simply

1) Remove the top using a knife making sure that the rim is not removed
2) Make a series of small holes about 0.5 CM diameter under rim and on the shoulder of the can
3) make larger holes half way up
4) pour alcohol into can
5) light it, let the fire heat the can and start vaporizing the alcohol
6) place a saucepan on the top (the rim) and flames will start to come out of the smaller holes at the top like gas jets.

Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.
