Advice needed on portable cookers please

Make your own alcohol burner.  Works great.

Mine has traveled all over the country, and has functioned well in ALL situations I've used it in.

I use 200 proof Ethanol (since it can be transported on airplanes--it is consumable afterall...).

Easy to make, but you might have to alter which coin you use...

I have had a go at making one of these thanks for the link! I used Meths (methylated spirits)
I now have one new cut and some hair missing from my arm
Just to remind you beer cans when cut are sharp!!! (I knew this an still cut myself)
also you can't always see the flames 

I will make another one as soon as I have more cans, I need to play with the hole sizes and the seal around the edge

Its a good start chap   Sorry to hear of the wounds but its all in the name of progress

Now you have a good excuse to go buy beer

Humm, perhaps getting drunk and then playing with sharp and burny things wasn't the best plan.

Seriously though, it's a nice job for a first time and it's very satisfying isn't it.

Nice stove!  I'm going to try denatured alcohol I think...

I'm a bit miffed that the dustmen took all the emptys this morning
And I had forgotten hair smells bad when it burns!

I'm still waiting for a photo of what Nuph put together for her brew-kit

Isn't it lovely to have such a practical demonstration of why someone has a certain avatar

I hadn't thought of that

Here is the mother lode of home made backing stoves http://wings.interfree.it/html/main.html. They are a lot of fun to make.
