Materials:

• 1 large can
• 1 small can
• Funnel
• Dirt
• Cotton balls
• 70% isopropyl alcohol

Directions:

Step 1

Put the smaller can inside the large can, then insert a funnel in between the two cans, and fill the large can all around with dirt until almost at the rim. Insert a few cotton balls inside the smaller can, then pour a lot of alcohol until the cotton balls are covered and soaked, and then light it up.

Step 2

Place a large can upside down on each side of the can stove, then put the pan on top making sure it is stable, and start cooking whatever it is that you want to cook. If you want to cook eggs, then it will take about 2 minutes, and once done simply blow air into the fire to put it out.
