    Well looked really cool so surfed the net and yes easy. So two cans a blunt craft knife and rusty pliers and a nail and yep built one too. Trying it later tonight as only just got meths.
    Good stuff like these things where money is saved.

    I find the penny stoves work better than some of the others that can be made. Nice job Rob.

    Good job Rob... Penny stoves are an all-round favorite and generally push out a good amount of heat for their size.

    Meths is a great fuel and there are loads of pressure & no-pressure stove designs on the forum so why not have a go with a few more ideas and let us know how you get on.
