Mrs. Time Zone set aside for recycling a container (a "tin", but made of aluminum) that struck me as having potential for a DIY project ... some kind of alcohol stove came to mind.

The screw top appears to be a fairly thin painted aluminum, but the base appears to be anodized aluminum, and is pretty solid / rigid. It measures 1.5" high and 3" diameter and weighs 44g / 1.6 oz empty.
I already have Supercat and Fancy Feast stoves (one without wick, one with). Also have a very small side burner made out of the top of an aluminum beer bottle. That one's only good for 1/2 oz of fuel and 8 oz of water. None of those 3 use a stand. I suspect any stove made from this would require a stand.
I'm an inveterate (but not highly skilled) DIY-er. So when I see some material with potential, I'll set it aside for awhile to think of what I could turn it into. Ideas welcome!
