Can I convert this little can into an alcohol stove/ heater?It has a gasketed screw in lid, that is the biggest advantage. I don't know how I would cut and fill it. I assume a WIC is a good idea on this thing so maybe just an out safe oil lamp. For 1.50 it's basically a free experiment. Thoughts?
>>2860143If your idea for a *wick is to stop the flame going into the stove you could cut out the whole inner lid and make a massive wick like a hobo stove, it would give you a lot more heat but be sealable with the cap. WIC... Kek wonder how that got into the auto correct training.
>>2860143will the gasket get too hot and melt?
>>2860167You take the cap off before you use it anon.
>>2860143Dude just buy a jetboil they aren't that expensive
>>2860171I have a jet boil. I like making things.
>>2860170yes obviously, it wont work with the lid still attached but i mean that the metal will get hot with the alcohol burning and that means that the gasket ring will be in contact with hot metal for an extended amount of time im just concerned that maybe the o ring wont last very long
>>2860193If you let it cool before you replace the lid it won't matter. I am worried alcohol would just dry out the gasket... Idk what it's made of.
Op.If it's a buck fifty just try refilling it with alcohol and see what happens, you aren't risking anything.
>>2860143Expand hole and try a cotton make up remover. They are very affordable and may make an ok wick if the original one breaks down or won't fit the new hole.
>>2860204that works... damn that was easy
