Porcupine Ultralight Adjustable Alcohol Stove
The Porcupine stove is my version of an adjustable passive air induction alcohol stove based upon designs originally devised by NCHiker1970 and TerraFirma369. Many thanks to both of these fine inventive gentlemen. I called it porcupine because it has quills and a tail The addition of aluminum tubing JB welded to the internal structure allows for the integrated pot stand. The screw holders are made from hard aluminum strips cut from wedding tin lids and are reminiscent of automobile door and dash clips. These "clips" are captured in the folds of the tooling foil band. The screw head is constrained by a release button which is normally used as a nocking point on a bow string Any small diameter flexible tubing will suffice as a substitute. The use of an artist's palette cup increases the alcohol volume to 3/4 oz as opposed to 1/2 oz tea light cups. Implements of destruction are required to remove the cups from the clip base. And no, I didn't take twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one. www.archive.org

Campfire Stew in a Coffee Can…?
I seem to remember that in Girl Scouts we used canned stew and packaged ham to make a soup in a coffee can. I am pretty sure we dug a hole in the ground and put the can in there to cook. Does anyone know exactly how to make this? I am taking my child camping this weekend and need some unique/fun outdoor cooking projects. Thanks!

Do you like to camp old style.?
How many folks out there like to use canvas A frame's or tarps and cook over a small fire with only a stick to cook your meat or fish on.Who love the sound of rain hitting their canvas and the smell of a tent. And make hobo coffee in a can along a river or lake. and not be able to hear no other sound but the wind,the birds, and the crackle of the fire? Perhaps the river as it passes by your camp some where way away from any troop trail deep in the wilderness where not even forest service scouts go......?

Do you have tips on how to make coffee in a camping-style percolator?
I bought a camping- style percolator. It does NOT have an indicator on the lid to tell you when the coffee has started to peculate.
I have never made coffee in a peculator before.
Do you have any tips?
JaydasMomma: Oh yes, we have gone down that path before. Instant graduals were horrible, and after one sip, I threw out the rest. The coffee" bags" where you dunk them like tea were considerably better, and tasted like coffee- but such a pale imitation, it was like watching standard DVDs on a high-def TV- and you could see all blocky flaws of the picture.
No- I need to brew the bean. I would rather have a little weak, or a little strong then the graduals or the “tea bag” version.
Edit:
I am starting to see the wisdom in 'Willie D''s advice.
I tried the pot on my kitchen stove. I let it reach boil, and then dropped the innards in and quickly snapped the lid shut.
Perhaps this was my mistake- but I didn't want to start to over or under brew- so I did not add the innards until after it boiled.
Since the advice is 3-5 minutes- I brewed for 4- and it was weak beyond belief. When I opened up the canister - only half the coffee was even wet- it only brewed on one side- and I dropped it in while boiling- it was like the function of bringing water to the top was not working at all.
I think I might have to try the boiling in water method- or perhaps-like the other poster suggested- but not boiling the water in the pot- as much as pouring water slowing in the compartment- and brewing it by hand.
I wonder if I could rig a contraption to slowly allow water in- like a clean tin can- with a
holes in the bottom to slowly allow water into the canister to brew?

Why have Man Utd stopped sending scouts to browse the talent on offer at Camp Nou?
Surely it's not just down to the over priced coffee on sale at the vendors!
