Im just curious. Been thinkin of trying this with 3-4 cans but i remember throwing cans on campfires when i was a kid and watching them melt down to nothing only to make different colors of fire. Would think it would almost do same thing with a hot egg cook.... I dunno

I buy my beer in bottles so I don't use the beer can method to raise my cooking level. However, I can't really see it being a problem.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

Aluminum melts at 1221 degrees Fahrenheit. Even on a campfire, the can has to be sitting on the red hot coals in order to melt. Your cook will be fine.

I was balancing 16 oz cans on the fire ring notches. They are not super stable if not filled with sand. I had one fall when pulling meat. Upon hitting the coals, it immediately started to disintegrate. Not much left when I finally got it with the tongs. I now have a PS Woo2 and greatly appreciate the stability/ease of use."America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland." -Tennessee Williams
