Use tin snips and pliers to striaghten the tabs and sandpaper to smooth the edges. For burning aclohol, take a small amount of 3/16 inch fiberglass insulation and line the inside of the can. Place tablets in stove on end (when tablets are place on end instead of laying flat, they burned faster because greater surface area). Light tablets and cook.
