Paint Can Stove!

Here is my next Emergency Preparedness DIY from Pinterest!

Here is the original image.

An here is a link to the Original Blog Post over at Prepared Not Scared!

 

Here is what you need (minus the 4x4 tile, and paint key haven't picked those up yet)!

Gallon pain can

Quart Paint can

Bottle of Alcohol

Roll of toilet paper

Paint key

4x4 Tile

 

You will also need a push-in can opener & Hammer!

 

Take your can opener and make opens around the top and bottom of the gallon paint can. First time I have used our can opener and apparently it is a crappy one! Dented my can up pretty bad, maybe paint cans just are more flimsy too.

Fold the toilet paper so you can get it inside the can then pour the alcohol over the toilet paper. Then pull out the cardboard center.

Cover quart can with lid and hammer down tight!

 

Now your ready to cook on it! If your just going to use it to cook things on a stick marshmallows, hot dogs etc. take the lid off the quart can and light the toilet paper. If your using a pan then put the gallon can upside down on the quart can with the tile underneath the quart can!

 

I will update with what we thought about it when we try it out! I would love to see pictures of you paint can stoves so send them to me!
