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.

Picture
Picture
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.

Picture
Picture
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
Picture
Picture
Picture
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!

What a great idea Clayton. Next time I am camping, I can heat a cup of tea!

Great stove. I have seen many different variations of them, but never seen them with gasket glue. I will try it. Btw, look up the penny stove 2.0. It is a great stove and boiled the same amount of water only 1 minute later than my friend's jet boil!
