While I was bored as hell I ran around to a few stores and this is what
I bought. From Surplus City I picked up push pins (colored thumb tacks)
and some knife blades. Cost 1.89 Then I went to Walmart and got to tiki
tourch wicks and a bottle of heat. Cost 4.00 Then I came home and this
is what I did. I took two aluminum energy drink bottles and sanded the
lower 2 inches so that there was no print left. Then I put the utility
knife blade into the bible in my draw and taped it in place about an
inch high or in the middle of the book of Numbers. Then using that I
twisted the can around to score a line in it. After cutting the bottom
off both bottles I took one of the wicks and placed in inside one of the
bottoms. Carefully pushing both bottoms together using the blade as a
shim I squeezed the halves together. With the push pin I poked 5 holes
directly in the center of the one bottom that would be the top of my
stove. I then used my Swiss army knife Reamer and made 4 holes directly across from each other in the shape of a cross. Then I made a few more
in the same manner. After that I sat the stove onto of my hot plate and
poured a few tea spoon fulls of liquid heat into the top fill hole and
one tea spoon on hot plate. (you have to prime this type of stove) Then
I lit the heat on the hot plate and it caught. After the small fire
went out I put a penny in the center of my fill hole and there was the
blue flame. Wallah a home made alcohol penny stove.

Its a great little camping stove and it is lighter then any camp type
stove I have ever seen. It is run on heat that you can find in any hard
wear store or auto parts store and is cheaper then pro pain or butane.
Good for cooking soups and other foods or boiling water to purify for
drinking. All in all not a bad day of being by myself.
