More Stove Pics

Here is one of the little stove/cookers I carried last weekend. Only the best tin cans in this rig!!

Here it is put together to carry:

And all spread out:

And set up to cook:

Just the stove:

And the camp spoon with a little tab bent on the end so it won't slide into the pot

Now, this won't cook a whole brisket or a pot of gumbo, but it makes hot water for soup or drinks in no time. Further, the stove is made so that a pot will sit on it with no potstand, that is an added plus, and you can cook in almost any pot or a sierra cup, whatever. The can pot shown has a bail handle, that makes it nice. With just a couple tablespoons of spirit you can have boiling hot water for 2-3 cups of coffee or tea. Fun to "recycle" things this way.

That IS a nice set-up. I think I'll re-think my stove and cook set. Y'all, piper was a hobo in a former life. 8)

Joey........you can tell 'em, it's OK. I'm still a hobo.

Nice setup. I've made the Heineken stove and the SuperCat also. The Heineken stove works better and looks way cooler, but the SuperCat is simpler and more convenient to use.

My "real" stove is a Coleman Max propane/butane, but I like the alcohol set-up for fun.

Looking a little more at yours. Yours looks very similar to the SuperCat. Yours may be a little more effective due to more direct burners.

Here is a new stove i made yesterday. Real quick and easy design, just two pieces of metal and some holes. Start with one of those new aluminum beer bottles. Cut off the bottom....and most of the long-neck, then just below the "shoulder" of the bottle and there you go.

Here it is warming up. It "starts" quicker than any pop can stove i have ever made.

And, really cookin'

It fits in my big soup can pot. This one's a keeper. Lots stronger than pop cans, can hold the dutch oven with food in it, i'm sure.

I was watching that , seams that Pipers stove is basically the same thing. One question.... Where do you find the beer in the aluminum bottles all we have around here are glass bottles or standard cans.

Chuck.

 

[Bilgerat]

You can get the aluminum bottles here. I'm not sure what brands are available, but I've had Budweiser and Budweiser Light w/ Lime (yeck!) in them. They are more expensive, though.

I haven't seen any around this neck of the woods , next time I see the Bud guy I will ask him. By the way Piragis sells the White Box Stoves at $20.00 a shot. :shock: :shock: :shock: and that is without the beer that came in the bottle. :lol:

I have made a lot of the beer can stoves and given most of them away , still have a few to use but I think I will stay with my Trianga outfit , it works really good for me. Beer with lime in it , DISGUSTING :mrgreen: :? :x

I've seen some of the aluminum bottles up here around Atlanta. Not common, but you run across them. I'm pretty sure Budweiser uses them.

Sherry bought a six pack of Bud with lime in it. I weren't impressed. Beer ought to taste like beer.

Dear Uncle Wanabe,

There was but one of those nasty-a$$ beers........a perfectly good Miller that some turkey in the marketing department decided to add Lime to. Turned it into a thing of horror that could only be sold at a Mexican restaurant. I suffered through it, figured I'd earned the right to keep the bottle.

And besides the whiskey, I think well require a little respect.  Now I'm Captain Augustus McCrae and this is Captain Woodrow F. Call, and if you care to turn around youll see how we looked when we was young and people wanted to make us senators.  Augustus McCrae

To me, one of the strangest things in this whole issue is HOW THE HECK CAN ANYONE JUSTIFY MAKING ALUMINUM BOTTLES? There is enough metal in one of them to build a lawn chair!! All this brave talk about recyling and conservation and then the industry comes up with something like this. I think as soon as we all get our stoves made, they should stop making those aluminum bottles. (And quit mixing lime in beer)
