glue will melt ya know and im pretty shure this wont work

[A flyin muffin]

Wood, graphite, paint, glue, coated aluminum, wax, fire: seems safe to me!

[Flipyap]

i would recommend not using pencils, because of the lead inside

[cnash1303]

Pencils have not had lead in them since like the 1920s, they have graphite now.

[geekzoid1]

the wood would sorry forgot to specify.

[geekzoid1]

It is graphite. But, yeah the pencils would burn.

[zcruizen]

i wouldn't recommend using pencils because they're made of wood and might catch on fire

[ossumguywill]

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 :)

[trevor3693]

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!!!!!

[Kwitmeh3]

glu?? WTF!!!!!

[Kwitmeh3]

glue

[Kwitmeh3]

and pencils WTF!!!

[ebqbbqmaster]

iWTF

[unpicky]

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

[Kwitmeh3]

well i wouldnt cook on pencils..... or would i?

[Kwitmeh3]

would i?!!!

[lucek]

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.

[Rotten194]

Diamonds don't burn, they go up in smoke, e.g. vaporize.

[NE patsrock]

where do u get diampnds

[lucek]

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.

[unpicky]

graphite is made of carbon and has no hydrogen bonds, you need hydrogen and oxygen to burn.

[lucek]

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.

[lucek]

no you don't. how dose magnesium burn then? or aluminum powder? there is no hydrogen so by your theory they shouldn't burn.

[unpicky]

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.

[lucek]

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."

[imgod22222]

you don't need hydrogen to burn. just oxygen. combustion is adding oxygen. *thank you, 7th and 10th grade chemistry!*

[lucek]

you kneed one of the halogens, Examples of this includes fluorine and chlorine in the gaseous state, and bromine in the liquid state.

[Sgt.Waffles]

You REALLY want to cook food on coated aluminum?

[xZCodmaNZx]

no

[Rokko8652]

I would take some Tin foil to put into the tin so it would be safe.

[yourface101]

ok, let me rename it:"how to make an altoids deathtrap"

[stranoster]

Oooh, catchy. :)

[miniman980]

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!!!!!!!!!!

[cdousley]

dude solder melts with flame

[miniman980]

not by indirect candle flame

[Obsessive]

Why in the hell would I grill anything on pencils?!

[cdousley]

smoky flavor no need for cedar chips

[littlechef37]

YUMM Graphite or lead or whatever they make pencils out of....
