This emergency cooking fuel in a can is easily assembled with carboard, small metal cans and cooking oil. It won’t completely replace a stove or standard cooktop, but can be used in a pinch to heat liquids and cook small meals, much like a small sterno stove used on hiking expeditions.
STEP 1: Cut cardboard strips from a corrugated box to match the height of a clean, empty can. (e.g. – a catfood can).

STEP 2: Roll up the strips and put in the can, and STEP 3: Pour melted wax or cooking oil into the can.

Step 4: Put your can on a solid, flame-proof surface and light the cardboard. When the flame is suitable for cooking, put two bricks on either side of the can to support a small pot.
