  The Cat Food Can Alcohol Stove is a lightweight version of the Tuna Can Stove.  It will bring two cups of water to a boil in about 5 minutes, has no moving parts and will fit inside your cook pot.  It weighs just 1.6 ounces including the stand and windscreen.
  Raw materials needed to make the stove are:
 
  Two cat food cans, one 3 oz. and one 5.5 oz.
  Fiberglass insulation.
  2 x 3 inch welded wire for stand.
  Heavy aluminum foil for windscreen.
 

 

  The Burner is made from a 3 oz. cat food can and the Air Jacket is a 5.5 oz. cat food can.  2 x 3 inch welded wire screen is used to make the Stand.  An aluminum foil cook pan is cut to make the Windscreen.
