Alcohol-burning stoves made from pop cans are quite robust. It was the only stove carried on my 4,200 mile x-country bicycle ride. Used at least once virtually every day

Fuel is readily available ..... the yellow-colored containers of HEET. NOT the red bottles!

Say have you ever tried a wide metal hot plate like the top of a big wood burner to roll and press them on with a couple of short 1" by 4"s'.Top of plate needs to get around 400 degrees at least.This is done after the nodes are sanded smooth.You can do more than one at a time too.

Hill cane, switch cane and river cane are all native American bamboos in the Arundaneria genera.

You probably mean in the Arundinaria genus
