The
Pepsi Can stove is composed of four parts: three pieces
made from soda cans and some foil tape. Two soda can bottoms
are the exterior pieces. The upper can is turned upside
down and fits over the lower can. The center "bowl" of the
upper can is cut out making a large hole for easy fuel filling
and lighting. Small burner holes are made around the perimeter
of the top section. A cylinder made from the wall of a third
soda can serves as an interior wall to the stove, thus the
stove has a hollow double wall construction like the Trangia.
Heat resistant foil tape holds the two exterior pieces together
and prevents flame leaks. Pepsi-Cola Company cans (Pepsi,
Mountain Dew, Lipton ice tea, Slice, and Mug root beer)
function best for the upper and low sections, although other
brands of soda can be used. Why Pepsi? The circular ridge
on the bottom of a Pepsi can is narrower than other brands
and holds the interior cylinder tightly. The silver colored
Pepsi One cans look best because they match the foil tape.
