Well, the toilet paper was all burned up, but he could smell the burnt paper odor.
So my question is, do you have to put the toilet paper in the can, or can you just pour some alcohol in the can and light it up?
Another issue - I am so excited! I found the sterno stove on Amazon for just under 10 bucks. Years ago(1975 IIRC) we bought a collapsible sterno stove which we used when backpacking. Some where along the line it got misplaced and Walmart never seemed to have any more.
I always keep a stack of sterno packs around in case of power failure and coffee withdrawal/craving. So I had rigged up a gizmo to use. It was a little unstable, but now that I am looking at bug out and get home bags, I wanted to get some more.
These little stoves are the greatest. Fold up into a very little package and will slip right into your backpack. Gives a very stable small cooking base that works great on the trail(and that coffee can will fit just fine). You can use lots of differnet fuel besides sterno, even charcoal, thought it will tarnish the finish.
So glad to see they still make them and the cost is so reasonable. I’ll be adding these to the kids auto kits as well as getting mine for the auto and in home.
The toilet paper is what gives you a slower consistent burn. Otherwise WOOOOSH!!!!
I have at least 5 Sterno stoves and enough canned heat to cook - a year. Easy way to cook inside house. Got those Sterno stoves back in 1999.
Guys have all this big stuff to use outside, and that's fine, but when I get up, still in jammies, I want coffee and something fast to warm/cook. A can of canned heat serves that purpose and for warming anything. I don't think guys are much into canned heat, but there is a lot guys don't know. Simple is better than overkill.
