Make your own Ultra-Light Alcohol Stove - This is a video of a design that I have been using for some time now.  I hope this helps you in making your own.

Materials:

Stove insulation/fiberglass rope

JB Weld (Not the Quick Weld)

Budweiser Stadium Bottle (Looks glass but is heavy aluminum)

Denatured Alcohol - Can be purchased at a local hardware store but is more easily found at gas stations as dry gas.  Look for the yellow bottles of HEET.  They don’t work very well on your car but do wonders in powering your stove.

This is easy and cheap!  It works great with a normal tarp as well.

Make your own water bottle insulator and cooking pot cozy- This is a video of two insulators.  The water bottle insulator keeps the cold out, and the pot cozy keeps the cooking process going, and the food warm.  The insulator is a must for the winter, and the pot cozy is the best fuel saver I have ever used.

Make your own Ultra-Light Alcohol Stove in five minutes with this design.  I found after making the video that a single hand-held hole punch works even better for making the holes.

I did this just for fun... AND IT WAS!
