this is a link to build one.

I use the kahlua can to carry 2 8oz of denatured alcohol, & the stove. I use the denatured because it burns the hottest & cleanest. I use the lid on the Kahlua canister as a base also to help support the stove. The great thing is all ya have to do is put the kahlua canister over the can to extinquish the stove & pour the unused alcohol back in the 8 oz container. The aluminum can doesn't get hot really hot and within seconds you can put it up without worrying that it is going to melt something. I like because when I'm the open tundra & there isn't a stick of within 5 miles I still can cook an artic char on a little frying pan. Can't do that with a jet boil.

I have always liked my pepsi can stove when I am going supper light. But my general work horse is my MSR Whisperlight. It is going strong 15+ years. Just replaced the fuel pump this year, and I'm a bit disappointed to be loosing my leather pump valve to the plastic that the new pumps use, but I've warn the pump out. One of the best pieces of gear I ever got.
