I made a little stove out of two tuna cans soldered

Hardware store alcohol works great and it is cheap.

Winston, if you haven't already, look up the "Penny Stove". You can get
a lot more energy and fuel efficiency out of alcohol when it's run at the
proper gas pressure.

The little Penny Stove will boil a pint cup of water in about five
minutes on a couple of teaspoonsful of alcohol.

One of these works for day-long power outages here, along with LED
booklights. http://tinyurl.com/2v3hdqr

And I got an alcohol stove (SVEA Swedish mess kit) off eBay a couple
years ago. http://www.digihitch.com/review69.html
