They tell you to put the can right on the embers.... you can't usually do this even with a heavy dutch oven, or you'll get burnt food on the bottom long before the stuff on top is cooked. And I mean that food is WELDED to the bottom. Raise it up on some rocks, instead. (We don't need to get into how I know this.... <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)

Also, don't plan on using the same coffee can very many times. That thin metal, once heated, rusts faster than you would think possible.

But if you could find a nice stainless steel container of a similar size (and preferably with a handle), you could pack a lot of kit inside for future use.
