I like you idea for giving a green item a new life.

That little heater looks awesome.

Awesome! I have some night vision goggle cans which might work similarly.

Not trying to thread jack you, but I felt like this fit right in with your post.

If you want me to remove this, just send me a note and I will delete it and start a new thread.........

Here is another heater idea you can make from stuff at home.

You guys will see me revert back to beer and accessories quite often..........LOL

OK here is my beer can heater, made from a bud lite can (for you non beer drinkers, any pop can will do), I coated it with JB weld to seal the seam.

Use dentured alchohol, about 1 table spoon will boil 1.5 cups of water (in a thing hiking pan). or 3 table spoons will heat a 3 person tent quickly for a about 7 mins in 30 degree temps (change clothes, take a wipey bath, spend quality time with the wifey on a hiking trip, whatever.....heheheh).

Super cool, I like the blue flame. The ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people here constantly amaze me. I know that took some time to do,Thanks Wolverine. Thats 1 Rep point from me..

mdmorganwife,
Yes you need to take out the rubber seal. The lid will not snap shut anymore so you will need to drill a hole install a bolt and wing nut to keep handle in the closed position . Works fine.
I traded a stove to combatmech for some 20mm cans and I am working on a stove design for it, and a center console for my CUCV.

Tim , post a few pictures of the center consol 20mm Ammo Can you have.

Not finished yet, will post a few soon.

 

[islandguydon]

Ok Tim it has been a month, Where is it..?

 

[twa@ezdn.net]

Been very busy, hope to start the console next week. I need to do some tests on my stove mod and give you an update. I will be getting my staff back in order soon so I can spend more time on the important stuff!

I want to see a 40 mm can version. Side note on Ti-Wov. beer can. Have used them in the past. Good to heat up a cup of tea.

In vietnam we would take a c-rat cracker can, put in sand then something that burned ( gas, diesel, alcohol, whiskey, ect.) then two big nails, medal rods, what ever, then use this stove to heat the the c-rats, hot water, ect. when done, put out the stove, dump it out, save it for next use, fuel was easy to get.

GA RALLY BUMP,

I just read the weather for the GA Rally 70 day and 40 at night.

Maybe Tim should send out some heaters..?

bet thay would sell

 

[islandguydon]

I hope so for Tim, Thanks 73m819

 

[73m819]

along with the heaters, the stove, I would send at least 6 of eack to the rally, got NOTHING to loose, bet thay would sell, MVers like NEAT stuff

 

[islandguydon]

I did not see 1 at the rally and it was cold out at night. Well maybe next year.

Nice meeting you Don and getting some quality chat time with you over the fire at GA. Great pictures. I love this ammo can heater thread.

 

[twa@ezdn.net]

It’s a lot harder to be away from my business than it us to be. Glad you all had a great time in GA. I have been tweaking the design and looking for better quality stove pipe but the stoves are getting better the more I make and they are selling as fast as I can make them. Waiting on paper work before I start ramping up production.

Hey I just put together who you are. I met so many cool people at the Rally it was hard to remember everyones name but I do remember the Type "A" personality you have. Thanks for the compliment. If your ever in Michigan let me know I will throw some Porterhouses on the grill with Morels on the side.

Don
