Not a blacksmith, need pepsi/V8 can stov e

“I've seen many of these things in use on TT outings, and have listened to you folks on how to build em', but I don't have the tools, know how to build them properly. I'm teaching a backpacking course in Feb., and would like to use a donation as an example. If you send me one, I'll be sure to credit you with the design/craftsmanship. Please email if you have some spares, and I'll send you my address.

“I received my pepsican stove from "tin can stove man". Its free, but he'll accept any donation. I heard about him from Pantscandy,..er rather, Rockman.
If I can find his tincan's email, I'll post it here.”

“just found his email: tincanstoveman@hotmail.com”

“I also have one of the pepsi can stoves. you can find them at this site www.antigravitygear.com”

“BB, no prob. I'll send you one. I have a box of 100 pepsi stoves. I place them in geocaches in my area. Quite the hot commodity to some people. Just email: wgmchugh@pacbell.net”

“It is so easy. the most exotic tool you need is a drill. Since you are a guy, you must have wood tools, if not. I comand you to grow breast immediatly. LOL ;-)

Its easy dude. http://www.pcthiker.com/pages/gear/pepsistove.shtml

That is the one that I use. Very simple yet effective.

Budda, you can do it.”

“dude, tea called you a dumbass. that's funny.”

“The only tools I use are: scissors, the can opener thingy on a leatherman, and the awl punch on the leatherman.”

“Ice tea just because ya have breasts doesnt mean ya cant use tools... I have a very manly pair and am quite good with tools.

:P”

“PC,
(how's that fer a handle?)
If'n ya don't get hooked up, drop me an email and I'll hook ya up!”

“i got a feeling he'll end up with a BUNCH to try out”

“OK, since tea insulted my rep as a dude, I'm gonna make one, and when it blows up, burning dozens of hot chicks, I'll be back to haunt you tea, on every trip you make to the donut shop.”

“"budda, you dumb ass"


Ice tea, called him a dumb-ass.

hehehehe


beavis and buthead!!”

“I'm just happy he spell ass right maple!”

“Taken zie Pepsi can und cutten schnippen, und den der polen holen, kerpoken kerpoken kerpoken, eins, vie, drie.

Und den der more cutten schnippen, und holen poken.

Den kerjamming der vall strippen into der outer bottom, und jammen der upper hunken mit der kerpoken holen on der toppen. Ist keperfect.

Putten in der alkohol und striken der match und kapoofen, der stove ist kerlitten! Kooken der weinerschnitzel und drinken der Lowenbrau.”

“Fire is cool!

hehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehheh...”

“Geo, The German tin-can stove maker and weinerschnitzel chef! lmao! Or was that swedish? Reminded me of the swedish chef on Muppets.”

“hehehe bit said FIRE”

“I have made several of these nifty little gadgets for gifts. There are a few variations on e-bay.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1585006149 being just one of them.
Personally, I prefer the smaller holes in the rim. Just sharpen a small nail and hold with vice grips. It is much easier to punch your holes first, then cut the can.
Once you get the hang of it, you can make about 10 per hour using the assembly line method.
The actual printable blueprints are on Sgt.Rock's website for free.”

“Ummmmm.... you do know that Mister Dumb Ass is about 6'5" and 225 lbs, right? ;o)

By the way dumb ass, if you build one this week, PLEASE don't bring it to the AFT trip. We could get banned if you burn down the Allegheny SF. moohaahaa”

“My son uses a plastic push pin. He ground the pin part just a bit to get the exact correct diameter. He's also turning them out in droves to give away. I can see the market for backpacking stoves going down the tubes by the end of next year.”

“hey, I know for a fact that this wasn't German....
no way this was German...or was it? (that means I will also have to take a german class now... pretty bad, bad english, bad german...)”

“Vat, chu gedoubten me Frau Gemini? Ya, ist Deutsch!”

“eah-yay, ut-bay an-cay ou-yay peak-say ig-pay atin-lay??”

“I'd send you one, but it looks like you'll already have enough on your hands to deal with.”

“Esyay Ennsypay. Umbkopfday!”

“I'll take a buddur model anyday!”

“OL-LAY!!

Seriously, I gotta try out one of these.”

“Geschticken der requesten in der emailen post hasten. Mach schnell!”

“If a pepsi stove looks too hard to make try a Cat Can Stove.
VERY easy to make and is the fastest homemade alcohol stove for boiling.
Made from two aluminum cat food cans and a bit of fiberglass.”

“what if i don't have pets...

j/k

thanks for the input folks, I appreciate the help.

(I'll be building by own stove, to get the ass label off of me, at least for that reason)”

“Guten luken mein Buddha!”

“Hmmm... I think Geo just said I smelled.

I did email JG on the other thread so I hope he sends me one. If that is what you were talking about?

All this German talking has me thinking about the late Dick Shawn playing Hitler in 'The Producers.'

Don't be stupid, be a smarty. Come and join the Nazi Party.”

“Budda, I am glade you have chosen to justify the d!ck between your leggs.
:-)

Pensy,
I run a mile in 4:49, 3 in 17:23. He would have to catch me first.”

“If we atrted at the same time, I'd just knock you down, pummel you, and then try to catch you. :)”

“that's started”

“Pennsy, I swear I dune knoew whut maykes me lapse into doyalect from time tu time. Sawmthin jist sets me off mon.”

“BB,
You will be receiving a package shortly. Not only stoves but a few items for your personal enjoyment. Thanks for the laughs and enjoy.”

“Pantscandy, errrr rockman, how'd you get my address?”

“BB - You're making it yourself? Scary. Make sure you teach the student's FIRST AID before you demonstrate your homemade pepsi can stove...”

“dang Buddha.... it ain't even Christmas yet and you're getting flooded with gifts. You might want to ask for wings so you can catch Tea.

Geo - the answer is simple. You have been inside way too long. You need to get back to 100% as soon as possible and get your butt out on the trail.”

“Ya Ollie I has to get back to da trail. I been vay long too cooped up, ya?

Buddha, don't fire up all those stoves all at once. You'll drive up the cost of denatured alcohol.”

“I hope you're joking man. You live in Atkins, OH right? Somebody emailed me and I thought it was you. Damn, there's some stuff in it just for you. Anyone else who gets will be call the cops! :)”

“Uh oh..... I hope you didn't send the Reese Witherspoon blow-up thermarest to Buddha's mom.”

“It's something much worse! :)”

“yeah, it was me, lol!”

“Reese Witherspoon, I've heard the name, but I have no face to go with. I'll check some porn sites and see what I come up with.”

“ok, yahoo helped.

Some photos she looks alittle fat. It must have been her younger years.”

“ive looked around online at about a dozen different plans for these denatured alcohol tin can stoves, and was wondering which one is best? i kinda favor the idea of the tin can ones over the soda can stoves , as they seem to be more durable, at least i would think...but which design boils the fastest? which plan would you reccomend? i got tools (everything+anything, but not sure if my numbered drillbit index goes small enough, ill have to check)

thanks,
-nate”

“Reese Witherspoon, ahhhhhhh.

nvc, it probably depends on what plan suits you best. The Pepsi/V8 can job is so easy anybody can do it. The others take a little more thought and some tools. I have no idea which works best.

I have tested the Pepsi can, Esbit, and Pocket Rocket. In terms of performance, they are not that far apart, although the Pocket Rocket brings water to a rolling boil in under 3 minutes while the other two take maybe a minute more.

Frankly, if you have tools and savvy, you might want to make several different ones and test them yourself. A little experimentation would give you an idea which you like best, and for the cost you can afford to do it.

The Pepsi can job is light. It will easily nest inside a tin cup or cookpot for protection in the pack.

I made a tin can windscreen/pot stand that the stove fits inside, and the windscreen will fit inside my cookpot. Paper towels will keep the mess from rattling around. For a weekend trip you could use a Nalgene bottle smaller than the 8-oz. job and it too would nest inside all that.”
