My guess would be to turn it into a meths burner - something i have been thinking about doing for a while, but never seem to get the chance!
I know a way that i have seen some people at school do with deodorant cans is by taking the top of it and then bashing the valve part on to something hard so it sorta pops it into the tin it self then though it on the floor (outside) then let the pressure escape But that how ill do it fastest
I emptied the contents of a lynx can by pressing the nozzle until it was empty then cut the top off with a junior hacksaw. No drama or bangs
Ace!!!
what u using on it Rich? a lil billie?
i also notice you use the "sensual" variety?!
do you find it gives you the dryness and protection you need on "those special days"??

I always found the best way to open up an aerosol can was at 20 yards with a rifle.
Especially with a lit rag next to it. Makes an impressive fire ball.
ive made a few of these stoves from budweiser bottles and i think the best thing to cut them with (after its empty) is an old bread knife.....i did mean aluminium bottles

the american bud bottles are made from alooooominum! lol...
they look rather expensive too to be putting beer in,....
when i said an old bread knife i use it on aluminium cans because it works like a hacksaw with very fine teeth which ive found cuts rather than rips the cans/bottles. all the stoves i have swopped at the meets with andy2112, tinky pete and johnathon d ( who did a great review of one of my stoves ) have been cut with an old bread knife.......i am hoping to find a new source for the budweiser bottle soon, ive run out, so i am interested if theres anyone out there with a better method ?.......what do you use to make this type of stove british red and raikey ?
I think the deodorant bottles are great for stoves, they're probably not far off the same gauge ally as the bud bottles.
I start mine off by scoring round a couple of times and then set to with a junior hacksaw, it literally takes two minutes now. It doesn't work so great with normal 330ml pop/beer cans though, they seem to need plenty of scoring and then they just fall apart.
I've got the one above sprayed up now so I'll put some more pics up later.

Do you just pour your meths into it and light Rich? Are you tempted to bung a bit of fibreglass insulation in in case of spills? I've got a bit of Ali mesh you could cut and drop on top of the insulation if you want to go down that road. Looks like a nice little burner. I got obsessed making similar a few years back. Might have another go at it after seeing that...
