  • it's a bad idea man to be near aluminum with out a mask on when you heat it up... it is a fact that cancer can be contributed by the poisions in aluminum buy a sheet of aluminum ans you get a hazmat sheet you would not belive the carsonagins and poisonus elements in the stuff.. some pans are made from the stuff but read carefully they are anodidized not just regulare standard aluminum... just a warning some people never realize that on hear just letting you no is all.. canteen cookers.

  • @drivin69 I appreciate your concerns and comments. I have since switched to using food grade stainless steel for most of my cooking. Thanks!

  • but my aiplock works great for my fosters can

  • @kobrabushcrafter Thanks for commenting. Aiplock? Not familar with that one. I'm curious...

  • I had remembered seeing this video...however... a few weeks/months later when I was standing in the store I couldn't quite remember which one worked...needless to say, I went with the Ziploc, and of course it did not quite work...so I will go back and get the other now... :) Oh well, live and learn huh...

  • @1377stick I did the same thing, a couple times - thinking, hoping I could make it fit. You can turn the heiny can upside down and it will fit in the Ziploc, but it limits the use a bit. Good luck on the returned quest!

  • @drivin69 Good call on the hot aluminum but that is why a lot of videos with stoves using a can use denatured alcohol as the fuel source. Lower operating temp them if wood, or gas diesel or regular was the fuel source.

  • @PJHire89 Thanks for watching!

  • @MustangTrainer Thanks for the tip and commenting. I have a couple other containers rigged that way. The larger top is used to hold a fuel canister and retains the lid for sealing meals when cooking. Appreciate you watching.

  • If you cut out the middle of the lid on the Ziploc container, the smaller container is inserted upside down through the lid...creating a lid with a large dome top. That's how it's done. Then it all screws on and you won't have to use tacky tape to hold it all together. Ziploc works fine.
