I am not the inventor of the venom energy drink can stove - however, I did make this one. Hardest part of making the stove is drinking the beverage it came filled with... this one was made a little large and will give about a 10 minute burn time.
The can below is a small coffee can - could be used as a cooking vessel, in this case, it is keeping the stove off the snow and acting as a priming tray.
Water bottle is Outdoor brand from Walmart and costs $5. Take a look at the store, as there are a few models that look the same. This one has a rolled bottom with no seam, which I think will do better than the one with the press fit seam. I boil and carry hot beverages in this one all the time. No leak, no problems. I have dropped it many times with only some dents. This holds 24oz and costs about 1/5 of a popular name brand stainless water bottle.
Cold day, cold water - boil time 7minutes. Stove is burning denatured alcohol. Needs a wind shield and flame is invisible in daylight, so be careful. If you use grain alcohol, you can drink your stove fuel. I like this setup, as you don't need a pot stand - will make ramen, tea, cocoa, etc. just fine.
