After contemplating making an Altoids (in my case a Newman’s Mint) tin into a little emergency stove for a while, I’ve finally did it.
I saw a video on that showed one based off the mini folding twig stove design and liked it better than ones I’ve seen using screws.
Mine is a really rough design, because I didn’t make a template and outlines first. I made it using tin snips, SwissTool Spirit and a panel from a folding windscreen for a stove. I tried it last night using some small twigs (no pictures). It worked, but didn’t hold the pot very level, so today I did a little more modding. I then tried it out with a mini alcohol stove I have and it was still not great but better.
The stove sides fit in the tin with some extra space. I put the mini alcohol stove in the tin with it. It fit but was a little tight so I used some bicycle inner tub to hold the lid shut. There is still some space for some small fire starting items.
