A Winterized Photon Ultralight Stove

This is a fun "science project" to undertake on a nasty day. It's basically a homemade alcohol stove made from tin cans that weighs almost nothing. Enjoy

Snow storm coming tomorrow - this is a great project for a snow day. Plus it means I have to empty a can of Labatts Ice or Guiness to make it. (Maybe 2 if I mess up!)

Cool experiment, but it doesn't look very "packable".

It's quite packable.

The stove and wire pot support fit inside the Snow Peak Ti pot, and the windscreen folds flat. The foil covered square fits in the mesh pot bag, and the 10x10 foam pad slips in your pack easily. The whole works weighs about 4 ounces without fuel.

Denatured alcohol or dry gas works equally well.

Thanks for the Pepsi Can link, Rick, I'll add that the last page

Looks like a really neat package!

This looks like just the project I could have my hubby work on!
I am also curious how well this carries in a pack. Will it get trashed?

Thanks for the info!


OOOoooooops looks like I got the answer before I had the time to post the question!!

Thanks for posting that. I've been wanting to make a soca-can stove for a while but never came across the directions.
