I was browsing around Youtube and this video caught my attention.

How to make a penny stove

Realy cool and it works. Its almost like a esbit stove. Im thinking of trying this out.

i like that

I keep on telling my self I am gonna make one like that just to play around but I never get around to it, I alwaus end up having life happen, that and I already have a really good backpacking stove.

Well James I just happen to have NO life, so I had time to do it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I made 2 the first one started leaking after I dropped it a few times <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

It was aprox 56 degrees here today. It took alot of heat to get these things going, Deffinatly not for cold weather.

Still cool none the less.

Ive made one of those before but it seemed to take forever to preheat it. I had to use a small butane torch to get it going.

What kind of fuel are you using? I used mine (and a trangia) several times this winter while ice fishing, without a problem.

I started this thread over on BF. A lot of people contributed and there is a lot of good info there.

I liked the video. I think this would make a great small, easiy packed, source of heat when you're out and about in the wild.
