If you're worried about car trouble keeping you stranded overnight in freezing weather you can create an easy and nearly free heat source by adding a roll of toilet paper to a new quart paint can and pouring a bottle of rubbing alcohol over the TP. Emergency preparedness weblog Prepared Not Scared also notes that you can place the quart-sized heater inside a new gallon paint can with holes punched in the gallon can so it can serve as a pot stand to cook on the smaller stove. This works well as you can fit the smaller stove, matches, and other accessories in the larger perforated gallon can and have a ready-to-go kit when needed. To use, just pour the alcohol over the TP, wait a few minutes for it to be absorbed, and then light the stove using a lighter or match. It will burn for a couple of hours and can provide life-saving heat in an emergency situation, but if using in an enclosed space make sure you have some ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide buildup. For a total project price of around five bucks, you may want to consider keeping one in your car trunk.
