| A buddy burner is a cheap and easy way to make a type of skillet or grill. Materials: tuna fish can cardboard box paraffin wax #10 can churchkey (can opener used for punching triangular holes) Cut cardboard box into strips the height of a tuna can and roll up in a spiral until you have a roll large enough to fill the tuna can. Put the cardboard in the can...it should be pretty tight in there. Melt some parfin. Pour some paraffin wax over the cardboard in the can. Let the wax dry and pour in a little bit more. Next, comes the #10 can. Turn the can upside down so it is like a dome over the tuna can. Use a churchkey to punch several holes in the side of the can. These holes do NOT go on the top of the can, this is your cooking surface. The holes go just below that ---- around the outside edge of the can. On the open end (that was removed) that is sitting on the table, cut an opening large on the side. It will look kind of like a door. Make it just big enough to push a tuna can through. Light the tuna can and place under the #10 can through the opening. This will still be a little smoky and I wouldn't use these indoors unless you ventilated really well. And, even then you would get smoke around your house. These are for "outside" cooking. Your #10 can should look something like this: _____________________ !
