I think you guys are being a bit harsh. She did put the matches in, but hadn't pour alcohol on yet. As far as getting the point across and introducing people to an idea they might not have seen, i think she did a good job.

We used to do this all the time in deer camp. When the weather hits 16 degrees and the wind is howling, you will be suprised how quickly this will heat up a small deer stand. However the only difference is that we used Pure Grain Alcohol, its burns hotter, and we use the most expensive TP possible so it soaks more in. If you have some racks or grates, you can even cook small meals over it.

I would think a pop-can stove (a soda-can with a few holes in it) would work better so you could head water and put it in a bottle and put the hot water bottle under your clothing to radiate heat into your body beyond that you would have clean water to drink and the flame on the penny stove would be smaller.

LOL! Those Swiss Miss cans have cardboard sides. Brilliant!!!

The first person that lights one of these things inside their car will be lucky not to set both the car and themselves on fire.

Use Everclear grain alcohol if you can afford it. Let the can cool before you put the plastic lid back on. The paper won't burn as long as it is saturated with alcohol. What burns is the vapor, not the liquid.

Isn't part of that can foil coated cardboard?I think only the bottom is metal.

@pdsavage

I'm pretty sure you're right on that. A paint can would probably be the preferred for this and what most people use.

[Redshift21]

good idea, pretty close to what is called a plumbers stove

[dsarti1]

90% alcohol is best

[qsk2pc602]

she is not claiming to have invented it.they i know of been around sence i was a kid.70s we called them deer blind heaters.campers call they tent heaters. when you run out of fuel you will burn the paper. makes you have to replace the paper sooner.you may have other uses for the toilet paper in a several day or several hr.stuck.there roll is a wick. another note a NEW 1 gal paint can has a metal lid wont melt you want to snuff it out.get them at home depot guessing 4 bucks lid and bucket.

[Christopher711]

would corrugated card board or news paper work. seesm a shame to waste a roll of toilet paper. Also , how about Heet instead of alcohol?

[bratanvova]

good way to lose some facial hair... lol

[zvaught]

Yes, that would be a valid concern if one did not have the sense to crack a window.

[kmikesell]

You'd be surprised.....Every year when it get cold at least one idiot lights a Hibachi in their house and kills them self.
