To adapt any container or tin you may have available to use as the outside casing, it is possible to make the combustion chamber from sheet metal, ideally stainless steel. It must be of a thickness of 1mm maximum so that you are able to cut it with tin snips. It is important to cut out the tabs and drill the holes whilst the sheet metal is still flat before rolling up and fastening the ends together. Using stainless steel will make the stove last longer. The photos opposite show how to make the stove from a paint pot and a 1mm thick sheet of stainless steel. The metal sheet should be machined flat before being rolled and fastened (to fasten: fold back approx 5mm of both of the two edges of the sheet metal in opposite directions and then fix the two together by hammering one flap inside the other). To avoid cuts to hands, wear gloves!
