I've checked out the penny stove instructions, and I'm wondering if anyone has had any success with it, namely what fuel they were using?
The penny stoves use denatured alcohol. You can buy HEET gas line antifreeze(alcohol) in the yellow bottles at just about any auto parts store and many convenience stores. The gas stove I linked to doesn't use canisters but has a detachable fuel bottle. Mine will burn white gas (Coleman fuel), kerosene, and unleaded auto fuel (not too much problem getting that!...yet).
