I forgot my wind shield, so it took way longer and way more fuel than necessary. But we got there in the end. It was just a day hike, after all.

For those curious, this is a “cat can” stove, or “super cat”. I can’t speak to its effectiveness, as I used it wrong. But a lot of people really like it. And it weighs basically nothing!

    Try the soda can design next! I made a few with my kids as a craft project.

    Note that these stoves are often banned in the western US during wildfire season. Allowed stoves generally need to have a sealed fuel system with an on-off valve.

      I made a penny stove first, and man that thing burns hot! Big big flames haha. Maybe I did it wrong.

      This one is way more contained, and some people claim more fuel efficient 🤷‍♂️ I have no idea haha

      Thanks for the reminder. No such rules here in Michigan, that I’m aware of. Obviously you gotta be smart when it’s dry out, maybe use butane instead at those times.
