I made an alcohol burner for my fire bowl/pit today out of the bottom section of two of the large coffee cans. Cut one off about 2" from the bottom and the other about an inch. With lots messing around I crimped the top edge of the 2" part a little and stuffed it with cotton batting scraps from my wife's sewing room. Put the 1" part on top laid a board a cross and tapped it in till it was fully on. Used a ball pean hammer to make a dished out area in the center and punched a hole in the middle maybe 1/4" in diameter. Then I put a circle of punched holes around part way out and a few more out on the edge.
I poured a bottle of the cheap dry gas stuff in. The burner fits nicely into the bottom of my hubcap burner. I piled in the lava rocks and lit it. Made a nice clean fire, but only burned for about 45-60 minutes. That is 3+ times longer than just pouring the alcohol on the lava rocks but still not a real long fire.
I'll have to think about that one for awhile, may just leave it has a solid fuel burner.
