I started off looking at home-made meths stoves from pop cans, but thought they were a bit flimsy, so came up with bean tin ones.
The design is a hybrid of the penny stove & trangia style open centre. There is an internal collared reservoir so it preforms without the need for a penny to create pressure!

Then I started looking at my daughter's favourite food Tuna! & came up with a char-cloth tin, untested, but I think the theory is sound as the lid that seals the top screws in to place for a tight fit!

Finally for now I picked up a multi-tool for £5 from the local charity shop & I wanted to have a stab at heating metal & re-shaping it. So I had a piece of steel tent pole spare & having recently been looking at light weight trekking trowels & liking the design of the SeatoSummit Ipood, came up with this, the handle will stow the bog roll!

Thanks for looking!
