Five minute essential oil burner

Step 4 Light it

Put your tea candle into the can. Light it. Put the top of the can back on. Drop a couple drops of essential oil onto the top of the can (the oil will accumulate in the lowest part of the lid. This is fine, regardless of where the lowest point is.)

That's it.

Caution: Hot things are hot, be careful.

EXCELLENT!!!!

now I know what to do with all them cans I have left over....and I have about 200 of them every month. :)

I can have 3 or 4 of these in every room....then maybe I can make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ off of these....coarse you'll get your cut for being the designer/engineer. :P

hey cool idea! but a couple of suggestions if I may :)

Why not use a coke can as the bottom is already depressed so could hold more of the essential oil / transport medium fluids...

Sand off the paint, remove the top, add the slits for air circulation. Making it quite short for stability (only has to be as high as the flame + a bit more)

nice idea though!! I shall be tinkering around with some ideas this next weekend! :)

ever tried cutting a coca-cola can?? soda pop cans are too thin, & therefor wear out too fast....

plus, a fruit or vegetable can is thicker & more fire resistant(will not warp as fast as a coke can will IF the veggie can will even warp at all....

I've been using the same penny stove made out of a coke can for months doesn't wear out or warp. but it is hard to cut without mangling it. check out the pinny stove instructables they found a good way to cut it straight all the way around.

my soda cans must have been made of steel then...every one I tried, would either melt into a puddle of mush, get soft & collapse, or something...that's why I have always used veggie cans....or pieces of steel pipe...THICK pieces of steel pipe...
