MAKE YOUR OWN POT HOLDER FOR STERNO CANNED HEAT STOVE

Introduction

This a very lightweight pot holder for Sterno Canned Heat Stove. Weights next to nothing and takes no space when slip on the can. I only used this stove to heat water for hot cocoa and to heat precook pasta (Cous Cous)(I pour hot water into a bag with the Cous Cous, no need to clean cookpot). This would give a hiker some variety from an all noncook meals diet. I would not recommend Sterno as a great lightweight solution.
