Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Mint Tin Backpacking Stove”.
The aluminum mint tin is an absolute mainstay in maker projects. It’S sturdy construction and ubiquitous availability have adapted it from television remotes to electronic survival kits in today’s weekend. Project by Mike Cruiser, we’ll use two Mint tins to create a literal survival tool. A mini camp stove that works with denatured, alcohol, solid fuel tablets or wood chips and twigs you’ll need the following parts: to build this project. You also need the following tools: we’ll start by building the pot stand trace the bottom of your pot onto the bottom of the tip drill three holes as equidistant as possible within the circle place, the three short ends of the Chicago screws through the holes and secure Them in place with the nuts but make sure there’s enough thread to secure the long side of the Chicago screws. Next, we’ll make the fuel support mesh use, tin, snips to cut a 13 centimetre by nine point: five centimeter square from the painters mesh and then cut a two centimeter square from each corner fold.
The four sides down 90 degrees. So it forms an open box shape and then fit it into the large tin. So the folded side support the mesh.
The small mint tin is what we’ll use to hold our fuel, but first we need to seal the hinge. Holes cut a 1 by 4 centimetre piece of aluminum from a soda can use JBL to attach the aluminum strip to the inside of the small tin. So the hinge holes are covered, use binder clips to hold the pieces together. While the jb weld cures, when the jb weld is geared, you can cut the slot for the wick using a rotary tool, cut a slot in the lid of this moment.
Tin. The slot should run roughly two centimeters long by two millimeters wide cut. The top and bottom from a soda can and split the remaining aluminum from top to bottom cut: 1 1 point 8, centimeter strip, crosswise and another 6 point 5 centimeter wide strip fold.
The 1 point 8 centimeter strip into three sections: each 1/2 centimeters long. The final third should be folded into a corrugated four zigzag pattern. Using a pair of needle nose, pliers or table edge, then the whole piece should be folded over. So the corrugated piece sandwiched between the two flat pieces fit the wick into the slot. You cut into the small mint in the wick should slide all the way to the bottom, with a short bit sticking out the top cut a thin strip of cardboard, three millimeters wide and 22 millimeters long and fit this into the aluminum wick.
This will soak up the alcohol and make easy work of widening stone. Your camp stove is ready to use this tiny stove is designed for use with a number of different fuels to use denatured alcohol fill the small tin with the alcohol, close the lid and then ignite the wick for solid fuel. You will need to experiment to see if it works best directly on the mesh or in the small tin, with the lid open to burn wood chips or twigs place these onto the mesh layer and replenish the fuel as it is, consumed. Happy camping.
