vienna sausage can stove?
Seems to me that recently someone had posted very simple instructions for making a alchy stove from a potted meat or vienna sausage can.
I want to carry one as backup/extra stove for loaning out or "fancy cooking" on two stoves. However I have searched & searched & cannot find it.
Help!
I mostly remember the directions, but want to get it right.
Thanks.

vienna sausage can stove?
I started the AT with a zip stove. It worked fine except that it required the most fussing when I felt least like fussing. When my son went home from Gatlinburg I gave him the zip stove. I found a base for an esbit stove in a hiker box. Then I fed Winter those Vienna sausages. I took my little Gerber knife and cut some square holes just below the rim of the sausage can. That was my alcohol stove. I didn't need a wind screen. The esbit frame blocked the wind. The can came real close to the pan. I quickly learned how much alcohol to put in to boil my Lipton water. It worked great. I still have it and still use it. I have many other stoves but that is the simplest and lightest in my opinion. Any similarity to any other stove in history is coincidental....it was genius.
