Saw the excellent tutorial on the pop can stove and thought I'd give it a go.
Do these eventually get brittle with the heat? I know they are dirty cheap to make (free if you recycle cans from work) so it's not such a problem to re-make them should one fail. But just wanted to know
Naaah ... Once you start makin'em it's addictive and you've always got the latest and hopefully best stove to try out !!!
There ... once you admit you have a problem and can talk about it you can talk about the drawer full of stoves in the shed !!!
Ha ha ha Cheers Whistle ... self confessed stove making addict

Campfires are best shared with friends.

Give it a go & find out, put ice in the water for a good test.
