Good (if relatively) expensive idea.

I really like that one Mike, as the article says; very traditional.

This is the stove i used to heat my lunch the last two years i worked. I still use it at the shooting range and on fishing trips. http://www.backpacking.net/makegear/stove2/index.html

Looks good,
I think I could make one of these with stuff laying around in the garage
So all I need is some fuel, what would you use in the UK?
Meths? Or something else?

[Gareth]

Meths would be just fine I think.

Meth's everytime

But then I'm a greenie

I use denatured alcohol it burns hot and clean. I have tryed 91% isopropyl alcohol it worked but smelled bad. I have frends that have used 151 proof rum. What a waste.

I am going look for a pic of a soda can wood stove i have made in the past. You just bring a soda with you and drink it before lunch and then make a stove out of it to cook your lunch.
