Bum Candle - This is how I cook. This is my homemade stove. A little background: I am currently homeless and traveling. I am unable to afford a real stove, so I made one. It's an aluminum can with cardboard spiraled inside of it and then candle wax melted into it. The Bum Candle is lightweight, portable and inexpensive, thus making it a perfect tool for any street kid, traveler, budget backpacker or homeless person.
