Soda can percolator! Teach me, please. I made the Jurey penny 2 stove recently. Works pretty well. I boiled 2 cups of water at a high boil. I was wondering about coffee, though a filter seems easier.
I'm using ever clear. I like that is not poisonous.

I usually have a 50/50 mix of S-L-X denatured alcohol and HEET. If that runs out, I can find either one of them at almost any gas station or hardware store. Heck, if a liquor store is the only place around, ever-clear works almost as well.
In the picture, you can see the stove in the wind-block on the right, my soda-can percolator on the left and my coffee in the middle.
