Actually, fifty years ago, in Scouts, we would set a candle afire under a coffee can with one end removed and beer can opener triangle holes in the side near the un-removed end of the can. The surface would heat up sufficiently to cook eggs, etc. The cans were steel back then and you could cook on the actual metal surface or use an aluminium pan or pot. I’ve cooked many a camping meal on one of those contraptions.

Also called a “Hobo Stove”.
Back in my boy scouting days, if I caught one, we went to the movies.
Sorry, could not resist.
