Classy little camp stove

So how hard would it be to rack up 2 or 3 pop can stoves under a wire rack and cook over all of them at once? I know Sterno under chafing dishes can go as high as 4 flames.

Geron,

I also used the Pepsi can stove on several trip I made in my canoe. Worked great when it was just me. can't get much lighter than a pop can and a pint of alcohol. It was fun to make and served it purpose.

I think the problem would be burn time. These little stoves will burn for 5-7 minutes before needing re-fueling. With multiple stoves You would increase the BTU's but the burn time would still be only a few minutes.

Now, If you're thinking more than one pot -- i.e. a pot on each stove -- one for water one for soup and one for the gourmet entree, Sure, 3 or 4 would work fine. For longer cook times you could even rotate/alternate stoves filling one while the other burns. JUST BE CAREFULL. they look small and innocent but they get really hot -- You ARE dealing with fire here.

I had several at one time. Like a TD, Can't make just one. If interested google will turn up a "bunch" of plans for building.

I know this post is a little old but if you want a nice small stove, try a Jet Boil. I works fast. I does take fuel however, but it's a great backpacking stove.
