wanted: your old aluminum beer bottles

[sixstringsteve]

I'm looking for some empty aluminum bottles to make an alcohol stove, and other things. I've made a few out of pop cans, but I'd like to try it with the larger, sturdier cans. If you have any of these lying around, let me know, I'd love to take 'em off your hands.

- bud light aluminum bottles (bottles, not cans)
- Monster Rehab aluminum cans
- other cans that are larger than a coke can and made of aluminum.



Whatcha got?

Back in the day, we liked to use the Heineken keg cans for stoves. They were bigger and seemed like made from thicker aluminum.

post up pics when you are done, this seems interesting

like a chump i've always bought stoves from sporting goods stores

 

[sixstringsteve]

The sporting goods stores have better stoves, but these are fun to make and super light. Ill post up pics of the I've I built.

You want a sapporo bottle super thick and pretty big

Yes please. Is it steel or aluminum? Regardless, I want it.

Here is some more info about the stoves for those interested in making your own:

I can't believe no one has said this yet ....

If you buy it I'll drink the beer so you can have the bottle..

And fuel is dead cheap too. I haven't had one of these in a long time, I might have to make one now.

Wish I could help you but alas I have none.. I never liked any of the stoves I made with the thicker AL, took way to long to heat up for priming purposes, if you are making a non priming style like a cat can stove i think they would work good as it could be used as a stand as well...

FYI the $1 stainless waterbottles you find at walmart or the dollar store make good boiling vessels for 1 person

Steve I'm not sure the concept of what your doing but if your looking for larger aluminum containers I have one of these empty and a second almost empty

Monster "BFC" can for the win! It's a 32oz can.

Steve. I have had the best luck with the Heineken beer cans. I just have to be careful where I go to buy them

Steve,

Seems I've gotten you started onto a stove tangent...
Next comes rocket stoves.

 

[TJDukit]

Might just have to make one of these in my dorm room just for fun.

what do you think I want the kegs for?

Next I'll just need a tig welder to put it all together.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Awesome. Save a few of these for me. I knew I could count on you. I'd also like a few red bull cans too. I KNOW you've got a few of those lying around.
