My mini is made out of a clear film canister, and it is loads of fun. But does anyone know of different chamber materials to use?

I think pill bottles mostly. But I say just about anything you can fashion one with.

This is slightly off subject, but I was wondering if drawing on the inside with a sharpie would transfer enough methanol to fire it, just trying to think of new fuels.

Paper Mache. I want to try it.

Paper maché isn't flamable, it's water, plaster and paper.

you can basically use anything that has a number of threads on it . Such as a pop bottle or pill bottles(as already mentioned, work the best) my friend and i made one out of a peanut butter container.

A drained coconut.
Three convenient hole markers in the top for:
1) Fuel
2) Sparker
3) Barrel
Dam. I really want to try that now

Still, paper maché really wouldn't hold up that well. It probably would shatter.
I know where I can get baby coconuts

Can you say Tissue Box?
I wouldn't reccomend it, unless you reinforce it with duct tape.
Paper mache probably would work. If you burn yourself, however, it wasn't my idea. This post will disappear.
Anywhoo, you can make one out of almost anything. If you really wanted to, you could use a car.
EDIT: That coconut post made me crack up! (No pun intended)

Haha, you can't make your post disappear anymore... Unless you have connections with mods. I like the coconut idea.
