I have two Red Bull energy drink cans and was just wondering, is there any plans of what type of stove can be made with these?

Thanks skidsteer. I already made one of your on the trail coffee makers. I just like to make different stoves as well. I've made the super cat, and a version of cloudwalker's stovenot to mention two stoves out of aluminum bottles. I think the wife is ready to kick my butt for making so many stoves. Especially since I have been using the one I made like cloudwalker's.
you might try taking a look at zenstoves.net, they have a plethora of info on that site
I just finished the mini zen http://zenstoves.net/MiniStoves.htm a few hours ago. im leaving overnight to get the best out of my jb weld. It looks great but havent tested it yet. I used 2 red bull cans. I hope it works great.
Put it under a light bulb about 2 in. from it dry in 3 hours or so
Haha this was my first stove and I love it! it ended up wroking great. When I get enough down time ill be making more for sure! Went out and got my Heineken today will likely have it tonight and get out the can opener!
Thanks for the advice Oops. I finished it late at night so decided to wait to test it lol
Joe Valesko of Zpacks has details and pictures of Red Bull/V8 can alcohol stoves. For information and some decent pictures go to www.zpacks.com and then to their cooking gear page.
I made just about every stove design available four years ago, and since I discovered Jim Woods' Supercat, I don't have any use for my others. I threw most of them away this summer (actually, I recycled them through my city's reclamation program).
Supercats don't need a pot support, saving weight, and, since most top burning stoves work best when the pot bottom is more than an inch above them, using a Supercat allows you to use a shorter windscreen, again saving weight.
I used a Supercat for my Hundred Mile Wilderness hike last month with a titanium foil windscreen that I bought from Backpacking Light. I carried 16 oz. of alcohol and had at least 1-1/2 oz. left after 8 days (one day I didn't use it - stayed at White House Landing).
I must admit, it was fun building all those stoves, but they, as well as my Trangia and Brasslite stove, go unused.
