How to Make Your Own Penny Stove- Guest Post by Clayton

This is the finished product.

Here is what you need:
Two pop cans
Tin snips
A metal file
Gasket glue
A pair of needle nose pliers
A punch and small hammer 
A sharpie
1 penny
a small handful of attic insulation

---

Draw a level line around both pop cans, one should be slightly higher than the other, the higher one will be the top of your stove.

---

Cut about an inch above the line on both cans.
This gets the can out of the way so you can cut on the line.

---

After cuting, file the sharp points off.

---

With your penny mark where it will sit in the center of the larger can.
Within the penny's cirle punch 5 small holes.

---

mark 16 dots around the edge,
then punch holes carefully.

---

bend in the edge of the smaller can and put attic insulation in the larger one

Push the cans together leaving about a 1/4 " showrng on the smaller can.
File off sharp edges.

---

Glue all the way around the place where the cans meet. This is to make a seal.

Fill with denatured alcohol through the center fill holes.
Light and slide the penny over the fill holes in
the center.

I like my short one better.

Be safe!
