How to make a Pepsi can stove.

[Midnightblue69]

Just an FYI, you cannot count on Pepsi cans being of a higher quality. They get their cans from a variety of sources depending on location. The vast majority of pop cans where I live and in the Mid Atlantic/South East are made by Ball Cannery in Williamsburg, VA http://www.ballamericas.com/page.jsp...&id=31&cat=oth Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper Budweiser and Coors all buy from them here and bear the Ball insignia.

That is a sweet little stove. Whats the 2 cup boil time? I am in the process of collecting materials to make a Starlyte stove. Just need to get in my attic to get some fiberglass insulation.

Only instead of having the pot stand built in I am going to use a caldera cone as both a windscreen and pot holder. Already have the aluminum flashing just need to cut one out. Was also thinking of making the stove like a MBD moodoo, with the fuel line to the bottle deal. All I would have to do is attach a nipple to the bottom and walla.

I like this design, I might try to make one out a Crosman pellet tin, their about 3.5'' in diameter and make a stand for it.
I have also just got thru making another one using 2 cans instructed in a video in this thread, I'll try to use it and see what happens.

Wrote this earlier : I have tried to make several of these and none really worked. I've made some with just 2 cans with holes in the top of one and I can never get it to lite and I made one with and inner wall out of the can stapled (instead of using Red Bull) and it lites but when I put a pot on top it snuffs it out.
The best one I made is out of a RWS pellet tin with holes in top, all I need is to do now is make a pot stand and I think it will work good.

Just tried my new one out, not so good. It seems to keep snuffing the flame out when I put something on top.If there was about 1/8'' gap between the pot and stove I think it would work better or I could just make a stand. Would small hole in the side of the can help to get ventilation?
