Wood, graphite, paint, glue, coated aluminum, wax, fire: seems safe to me!
May 18, 2010. 4:10 PMFlipyap says:
i would recommend not using pencils, because of the lead inside
Feb 2, 2011. 8:18 PMcnash1303 says:
Pencils have not had lead in them since like the 1920s, they have graphite now.
Nov 10, 2010. 6:27 AMgeekzoid1 says:
the wood would sorry forgot to specify.
Nov 10, 2010. 6:25 AMgeekzoid1 says:
It is graphite. But, yeah the pencils would burn.
Jun 11, 2010. 1:33 PMzcruizen says:
i wouldn't recommend using pencils because they're made of wood and might catch on fire

Yo mark "dimond" get a better microphone but good idea. BTW if they ever make a pendragon movie i want u to be in it :)

haha i just started reading that series. i agree.

ok... first of all, you can get a safe metal to cook on at the store..... or recycle it from various stainless steel peices. Knives that get thrown away is one example... if you want to permanently attach the metal to the altoids tin, there is a method used in 3rd world countries that is effective but VERY DANGEROUS !!!! Use a step down transformer to get a high current source. attach one wire from the coil to the altoid tin, then use the other lead to touch the joint where you want to weld it. again... this method is probably as dangerous as wading into a lagoon full of hippos. another method would be to find stainless steel support wire or something. Poke holes either side of the altoid can and thread the steel wire through.... To reduce off-gasses from the altoid tin heating up, you could place it in a very hot fire till it glows bright red, then dunk the thing in water... I dont know how effective the hardening would be... but anyways... i'f i get around to constructing a healthier version, i'll post it! (i just have to finnish the altoids first!)

pencils?? WTF!!!!!

glu?? WTF!!!!!

glue
Sep 6, 2009. 6:06 PMKwitmeh3 says:
and pencils WTF!!!

iWTF
Jul 28, 2008. 12:20 AMunpicky says:
if anyone says that graphite is flammable again. please come over so i can slap you in the face. sure the wood around the pencil is but not the graphite
Sep 6, 2009. 6:04 PMKwitmeh3 says:
well i wouldnt cook on pencils..... or would i?
Sep 6, 2009. 6:04 PMKwitmeh3 says:
would i?!!!
Aug 2, 2008. 9:54 PMlucek says:
I was going to refute you but no your more right. graphite will burn (like how diamonds wold burn) but "very flammable" that's just wrong.
Mar 21, 2009. 10:51 AMRotten194 says:
Diamonds don't burn, they go up in smoke, e.g. vaporize.
Jul 9, 2011. 3:41 PMNE patsrock says:
where do u get diampnds
Mar 23, 2009. 8:53 PMlucek says:
depends on your definition of burning. they don't just vaporize except in a halogen free environment, they do undergo combustion every where els. the difference is the fact that the latter changes the chemical composition from pure carbon to CO2, CF4, CCl4 etc. now the reaction produces less energy then is required to maintain the reaction so you could claim diamonds don't burn like wood, or paper but by my definition they do burn.
Aug 3, 2008. 5:40 PMunpicky says:
graphite is made of carbon and has no hydrogen bonds, you need hydrogen and oxygen to burn.
Aug 3, 2008. 11:44 PMlucek says:
all nonnobal gases will react with an Oxidizing and not all Oxidizing contain oxygen. fluorine and chlorine in the gaseous state, and bromine in the liquid state will act as Oxidizers.
Aug 3, 2008. 11:03 PMlucek says:
no you don't. how dose magnesium burn then? or aluminum powder? there is no hydrogen so by your theory they shouldn't burn.
Aug 3, 2008. 11:38 PMunpicky says:
that uses very high temperatures, magnesium burns at like 3,000 F. it would take very high temperatures to ignite the graphite and a grill couldn't do it.
Aug 4, 2008. 2:22 AMlucek says:
yes and if you look back I said "graphite will burn (like how diamonds wold burn)" then you replied eroniously "you need hydrogen and oxygen to burn."
Aug 10, 2008. 7:28 AMimgod22222 says:
you don't need hydrogen to burn. just oxygen. combustion is adding oxygen. *thank you, 7th and 10th grade chemistry!*
Aug 10, 2008. 9:56 AMlucek says:
you kneed one of the halogens, Examples of this includes fluorine and chlorine in the gaseous state, and bromine in the liquid state.

You REALLY want to cook food on coated aluminum?
Apr 12, 2008. 2:01 PMxZCodmaNZx says:
no
Apr 7, 2008. 3:34 PMRokko8652 says:
I would take some Tin foil to put into the tin so it would be safe.
Jul 9, 2008. 7:09 PMyourface101 says:
ok, let me rename it:"how to make an altoids deathtrap"
Jul 24, 2008. 11:28 PMstranoster says:
Oooh, catchy. :)
Jul 20, 2008. 6:02 PMminiman980 says:
very cool idea, i want to try it! would paper clips work? and you could avoid the glue issue if you hooked the paper clips around and maybe soldered them cook mini marshmallows!!!!!!!!!!

dude solder melts with flame
