I'm going to ride a tandem with a chef as the stoker.

In that case I would expect everyone to have a few stoves!! ;)

 

Keep in mind while the stove is the smallest and lightest stove you can get,
it's down fall is that you need to carry a bottle of denatured alcohol which
can increase the weight/size of your load.  I still love it though!

You shouldn't have told us it requires drinking, Steve.  Now 20 of us will
show up with home-made stoves!!

It's fun to make because it requires drinking!  You can use any can, but the
Heineken keg cans work best because of the shape.  

 

I didn't use this video myself but I just took a quick look at this video
and this guy seems pretty in depth.  It's called a penny stove if you want
to do any research or look for other videos.  A Gatorade cap works well for
the spacing of the cuts and makes the lines nice and straight. 

 

For the stand, I bought some steel or medal little pipe stuff thingy that
was strong but that I was able to shape with pliers.  Then I took the two
pieces I made and wired them together so the stand folds and packs easily.

Steve has built this cool little camping stove that we can use, but I'd like
to build my own since I like my coffee in the morning. I use the Folgers
single bags. They work well. 

 

Steve, can you send us the link you used to make this thing? Materials,etc?
