Sterno Stove


A few moths ago I had a post about finding resources where others wouldn't think to look. My example was projector headlights for fire starting. The parabolic lens used to focus the headlight beam is also great at focusing the sun to start a fire. One other resource within that headlight is the trim ring that holds the lens in the housing. When totally broken down, this little piece of metal is the perfect size for a sterno stove. It's lightweight and durable. It almost seems like it was made for this purpose, the sizing and height are perfect. Simply place atop the sterno can, light, and cook away. Once you run out of fuel, make sure to save the can. Denatured alcohol, gasoline, or even something you distill yourself can be viable replacement fuels.
