Pepsi Can Stove   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2221 of 3599 |
Hi All,

Has anyone build a Pepsi Can Stove before or currently use one?

They seem to be a really good idea especially as the weight is very
minimal and cheap to build also.

Managed to find one reiew on backpackgear test website,

If no one has used one before I will let you know how I find it and
post a review.

Cheers
Mark
