Hi ironraven!

Thanks for your reply.

I intend to boil water over a fire, without a stove. I would use a branch to make a pot support, like in the Michel Blomgren videos. I'd poke holes on each sides of the can and make a handle with the steel wire I have in my PSK. Then i'd hang the soup can off the branch and boil away! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for your tip regarding the cutting of the lid... i'll pay attention to that as I experiment with different cans and sizes.
