Here's a video showing the construction of an optimized alcohol stove. The guy goes to some effort to make the thing efficient.

I made one in about ten minutes using nothing (so far as I can recall) except a serated steak knife and a soda can. It worked fine.

Re: ”...get ya a candle and put it in the can and light it. Ya can then put stuff in a larger can and heat it pretty well“

I'll try it and report back on how long it takes to heat a can of beans. My guess is that, given that even candles cost something, this isn't a very efficient way of heating things.

Did I ever post the video of how to turn a soda can into an alcohol stove? I even made one and it worked quite well. I'll track that down and re-post it since I'm sure it's not on the system today.
