I gave up trying to make my own, I just don’t have the tools or skills to make it work safely. Sure, if you want a stove that will set you on fire then feel free to poke around in my recycling bin for the remains. I, on the other hand have decided to spend a whole £20 on the real thing - well, it’s not the real thing, it’s made from a Pepsi can

It arrived

Here it is boiling some water…

Here it is burning off excess meths…

(shutter speed adjusted to give extra sense of drama )

And here it is all packed away…

Well worth the £20 it cost me.
