I watched this video a week or two ago. I went out and got some cans and I made one. It works awesome! I took it ice fishing and I cooked on it in my cast-iron pan and it was great for keeping my hands warm. Thanks for this awesome video and the good information!

I plan to make one out of a 1 gallon paint can. Every circular stovetop burner grate I have found fits a 1 gallon paint can perfectly

Dude I just spent $29.99 for the dura flame 5.5” pit lol you spent $4.08 for basically the same thing😂 gonna try this and have multiple for the campsite. Make good gifts for fellow campers!

Life lesson sometimes sometimes you just have to hit your problem with a brick

They make can openers that will take the lid off cleanly at the seal, so you can re-use the lid. Handy for smothering the fire.

Did this but without the dremel. I took it straight outside to test it out and it works like a charm. Awesome instructional video man

Very clear instructions. I made one with a paint can (outer part) but basically followed what you put down. Thank you very much!

you could heat the bigger can and freeze the smaller one, then fit the smaller inside and get a more permanent join once they both acclimatise. You might only get one shot at this so be quick before they cool and warm.

I am truly impressed. Great job!!! I have made a few stoves and bush pots, but I just stumbled on these wood stoves. You have truly organized, improvised, and overcome. Nice job. Hope you don't mind but I believe I will make one of these for my survival pack. I believe that if you could arrange it, these would sell like....well you know.

thank you, for being clear, and using simple cheap things for a great thing!

On the second can, rather than deal with the tape, centre punch and drilling...if you open the can first, you can use a regular hand held paper punch* to punch each hole ..these old paper punchs work great for this!

Good instructions. This could be a game changer if one had a need for a small stove and no way to buy one. Resourcing cans is easier than finding any other stove material. An ice pick in your possession is useful too; and a person could double the small holes to create the best airflow.-> ( if you only had an icepick, nail, or an awl on a survivor knife)

Couple of ideas/tips: Use one of those can openers that cuts into the side of the rolled bead (they come in both hand and electric models). This leaves the lids able to sit down a bit inside their respective recesses with a good air seal, remaining easily removable when needed. This allows you to make a better stove, re-purpose trash (the cans), and not waste food. Cut the hole as shown in the larger can's lid, fit the smaller can into the hole, and now you have a fire box with an attached sealing ring at the top, that can be easily lifted out of the larger can for modifying the stove with extra holes, dumping ash or whatever reason. Do the same thing to the smaller one's lid, cutting a large hole leaving about 1/2" or so inside the edge, and you have a flame ring that builds a bit of compression above the 'jets' and helps 'nozzle' the flame toward the center. Both lids will sit perfectly inside their respective cans with a good air seal, without sliding side to side, because of how the can opener cuts them free.

Beautiful simple build. Thanks.

If you have a lady in the home....she gonna pissed if she sees all those metal shavings...😂😂😂

Nice! That worked out much better than I expected. I really like the tape template you added for uniform holes as well.

Empty cans and fill with water, freeze it then pop dimples.

Гарна робота, дякую! Добра та Миру!

Great detail on this project. Thanks!

Great video man! Perfectly executed 👌🏻

I was thinking the same idea out in my head! Glad to see it works

Sorta pushing the edge over with a screwdriver might be called "burnishing"

That beats the $80 one for sure. Nice build.

Nice work……gotta try it! Thanks

Excellent work ! I can see the second burn from the inner ring of holes.

Awesome DIY

I've made three so far of varying sizes. the latest uses a one gallon paint tin with 900g baby milk powder internal. tried it last night and it works great ! {on my youtube channel}

Gotta love American ingenuity. Great job bud.

Nice details. This would be a great prep item. Saving money and can be built with minimal tools out of commonly available parts.

Very nice. Simple and seems to burn the wood gas pretty well.

Excellent tutorial bro. 👍👏✌️

Dw5600 gshock...and cool diy firepit. Great video!!!

I love making these things

Love your watch!

Great idea brother I will try

Not that im going to do this, but i enjoyed this video so much. Thank you sir

Thanks for sharing.

Good build. Let's see you make the paint can stove. Like to see them working side by side.

Yeah. I gotta build one now.

This is amazing I did the same video 4 years ago and only got 1K views Well done

Nice job.

I love this type of thing, and the top of yours look very professional, like from a factory. I think doing this with a combination of a rocket stove would really work well. That way you can cook on it and get no smoke. The rocket stoves are supposed to be smokeless, but I really like this inner and outer can style. Can we build a better rocket stove like this?

4:12 "Do It Yourself Projects with Cousin Itt."

That’s awesome thank you

nice job

Very nice but please re-post the yams with tomato sauce recipe. I guess I missed it.

Good project

Very cool!

Thumbs up for the idea. Thumbs down for the food waste

So cool! No smokes!

Just made one but haven't tried it yet. Appreciate the video bud. The only thing I did different is taking the big can lid off to be able to remove the small can to clean out the big can. Other than that went by your video. Thanks alot!

quite good

perfect flame

you could use a round file to push the lip in a bit too. might be a little easier. Just a thought.

I've been waiting for an extremely in depth review of this tent! Thank you. Most reviews are more accurately unboxing videos.

Your center punch should be adjustable. You can adjust it for different materials. The pressure needed to activate the punch is adjustable.

What size drill bits did you use? Or what size would you recommend?

Best 11:04 minutes I have spent on KZfaq. Well maybe.

well done

For how long it can light up. Because I want to make it for my room heat in winter season at the night .

What are you using for fuel? If it's charcoal or wood then the ashes will drop down to the lower can making clean-out perhaps difficult. Smdall pieces of wood/charcoal could get stuck in the interior cans' holes.

Use a car exhaust high temp sealant to ensure air tightness at the top end connection.

Paint cans seem better for this cuz the metal is usually thicker and should last longer. And not having those horizonal ridges on the sides thy allow for a little better airflow, though not much. You could also use some high temperature paint (like those for grills) and that should help preserve it from rust and somewhat from the heat

Great job, I also made a video on how to build a stove ( different design )

I don’t notice the type of metal but if it’s possible to get that can hot enough it could melt.

heat big can it gets bigger, freeze smaller can it gets smaller, then they both reach an equal temperature and the smaller can expands and the bigger can contracts forming a permanent join.

Thing is, after all that work, you're gonna get bits of ash in between the two cans at the bottom. Will that affect its performance during the use? You can just shake it out after use but it's during that could be an issue.

Nice work. You could spend months making so many versions of these things. I think I will!

Excellent! Thank you!

Very cool, roughly how many times have you used it and is it still holding up?

Uh, your couple and my couple seem to differ , widely. 😂🎉

Question. If there are holes in the bottom won't the ash fall in there and then can't get out?

It looks like it needs more bottom air holes for a stronger flame.

Are those aluminum or steel?

I know I'm late to this, but isn't the point of the holes on the bottom of the outside can and the holes at the top of the inner can supposed to warm the air and use it to re-burn gases at the top? with the holes drilled in the bottom of the inner can most of the air being drawn in from the bottom will be sucked directly into the fire. Instead of drilling holes I'd put in some sort of wire grate, this will also help keep the ash in the inner can only and make it a bit easier to clean.

Nice Casio watch

Good evening. I'm just wondering what the recommended or suggested gap between the cans should be? I'd like to maximize the burn can but I want to make sure I don't restrict the air flow. Any suggestions?

this is what it looks like when they take metal shop out of the high school curriculum.

Burn the table down haha. Thanks, it's a great idea :-)

what ya gonna do if you dont have a can?

I didn't quite hear what you said did you say Squeek squeek or did you say squeek Squeek?

Noice!

NAME OF THE EQUIPMENT USED ????)

maybe a 45° slant tube to feed twigs ?

This is you.

Does what he says with the tins

Great video, I just use my 20 dollar Amazon knock offs because I don’t get the skills

NIce work! But using it on a wooden table ...

I guess you could size this up to a couple of 44 gal drums.. cut one side ways to make it fit inside the other one.

4 bucks for the cans plus what it cost for the tools to make it.

What are you burning inside of it?

Next step is to add a heat deflector. I'm sure you have thought about it. Please make a video.

My grocery store didn’t have bricks ☹️

So what fuel is used?

Try with paint cans.

awesome

You never showed what the fuel source was? What do you put in it to burn?

Could you just cut the bottom out of the larger can ?

milions of this stoves are on YT..

would it be safe to eat off the flame directly? I.e roasting marshmallows, or hotdogs?
