We used to use a tuna tin with a few oz of rubbing alcohol to start the stove when the wood was all wet and there wasn’t good kindling, just put the tuna tin under the log, light the alcohol in it and let the really hot blue flame work it’s wonder on starting the wet wood.

At 6th grade camp are we used rolled up cardboard cut into strips in our tin can stove. Made a pretty nice breakfast of bacon and eggs on mine!

We have used a tuna can, and cut a roll of toilet paper off to the right height took out the cardboard roll. Then add the alcohol. Used it when we were out of Sterno, fit very well inside the Sterno Stove.
