[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3519781, member: 24500"] Yeah, the paraffin/kerosene debacle gets people all the time. I bought into the lamps years ago while addicted to British bushcraft videos. They call kerosene paraffin as interchangeable. I've cooked many breakfasts and late night snacks on the wood stove in the shop. The one time lost power due to winter weather, the vintage propane Coleman tent heater put out the BTU's. Watch that 3am stumble to the bathroom though... ten years later, I still have a bald spot on my leg. Cooked many a meals in camp one one of these diy can stoves. Making them is tedious if you roll the edges.. i always just shot a few rivets into them.. They run on an ounce or two of denatured alcohol, hot and efficient. Just don't go expecting it to carry cast iron. I just use an old gi mess kit. Cup for liquids, plate for everything else. [MEDIA=youtube]us7AeG7OEY4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
