This is by no means a new idea, but it is a good one. A really simple meths burner, similar to the style you would get in a trangia stove, can be made from two drinks cans.
|
You will need two drinks cans, it doesn't matter what type as long as they are the same diameter. |
|
Cut both cans, if they average size cans then cut them in half, if they are taller like the can on the left in the first picture cut the bottom third off. You can easily do this with a Stanley knife rather than wrecking your decent bushcrafting knife. |
|
You will now need to fit the two pieces together and poke some wholes in the rim of the uppermost can. |
|
Now use some aluminium tape to seal up the joins to stop the meths escaping. |
|
Finally remove the centre of the uppermost can, you could do this sooner but I found it makes the can fairly 'wobbly' and herder to work with. Now fill it with methylated spirits and light it. It's now ready to use |
