Building the Ultimate Alcohol Stove

Note: These instructions are to be used in conjunction with the video "Making the Ultimate
        Alcohol Stove"

Step #1 - Obtain two (2) an extruded aluminum bottles such as a "Bud Light" or the energy drink "Venom"

Step #2 - Take one of these bottles and draw a line 1" from the bottom all the way around the bottle

Step #3 - Cut the bottle at this line with either a hacksaw or a Dremel.  Be sure not to collapse the bottle went cutting it. The part we will be using is the bottom of the bottle.  This will be the "die" or form used to make the stove.

Step #4 - File the sharp edges with a file where the bottle bottom was cut off.

Step #5 - Drill a 1/16" hole in the center of the bottom of the bottom piece.

Step #6 - Remove the top section (the neck) of this same bottle by cutting it just above where the neck tapers in.

Step #7 - Take the middle section of bottle (with the slight inversed flare) and use it to expand the lower section of the bottle cut off in Step #3 by carefully rocking and pushing it into the lower part.  Take the two pieces apart. (If necessary apply about 20 lbs of air pressure from a air tank to the small hole you drilled in the bottom of the "die piece" to separate the two)

Step #8 - Take the second bottle and mark a line 3" from the bottom, marking it all the way around the bottle.

Step #9 - Cut this bottle with a hacksaw or Dremel as you did in Step #3.

Step #10 - File the sharp edges with a file where the bottle bottom was cut off.

Step #11 - Place the die and this newly cut bottom together (cut side to cut side) and gently rock them together until the 3" bottom begins to evenly slip into the "die"

Step #12 - Place this assembly onto a bottle hydraulic jack and slowly press the two pieced together.  When the one bottoms out into the other - STOP.

Step 13 - Take the two pieces apart by applying about 20 lbs of air pressure from a air tank to the small hole you drilled in the bottom of the "die piece".

Step #14 - Drill ¹/₁₆" holes from the outside through the outer wall (but NOT THROUGH THE INNER WALL) around the stove, ¹/₂" from the top and ¹/₂"  apart.

Step #15 - Drill 2 pressure relief holes from the in side of the stove all the way through to the outside above the flame holes but below the top of the stove.
