If you’ve forgotten, lost, or damaged your primary your camp-cruising stove—or you’re just looking for a fun project. Here’s a how-to from back in issue #88, plus detailed video as well. —Eds
I would recommend not using a beer can stove, or other stove using denatured alcohol, on a boat. If denatured alcohol spills it is hard to put out. Water does not work. You basically have to smother it. (I have used Trangia based stoves on bicycle trips for many years). Some of the stoves using this alcohol as a fuel, have safety features built in, such as the Origo stoves. Those may be safe. Beer can stoves and some of the Trangia based stoves are easily tipped.

Beer can stove... I've built two different types, two of each and still have two! I used them on the Appalachian trail in the early years of this century.
My SERIOUS take on this - purchase the Trangia Spirit burner! it is Proven and works better than the beer can stove with none of the built correctly RISKS. Many of the Beer Can designs have warnings and explosive possibilties. Buy the Trangia https://trangia.se/en/shop/spirit-burner-b25/
