I'm 70 in a few months, so those days are in my rear view mirror, but I have ridden about 10 thousand miles on freight trains, and I gotta say, I NEVER had any kind of stove for cooking. Baloney and cheese sandwiches were about as good as it got. Unless I was in a city where I found work. Nevertheless, I do so enjoy watching you do these videos. Keep breathin'.

Just after ww2 there was a lot of swaggies in Aus. Hobos in US. They would come and do farm work for food and shelter. Most were what we know now as ptsd or what was then known as shell shock. You would hear them having loud nightmares. A lot had families but couldn't live at home. They used to leave rocks at the front farm gate to let others know if you were supportive of their situation or not. They were always prepared to work for what they got never asked for free stuff. No Govt benefits in those days.

WW1 was the biggie for Aus though - even the unofficial anthem, Waltzing Matilda, has a major WW1 reference, with the German greatcoat being called a Matilda. Waltzing Matilda was about disappearing into the bush with your coat as a night time companion to keep you warm. WW2 saw the rise of the Hells Angels - more men used and dumped by society.

I've made many of these as a kid. You did have one design flaw; It's easier to put the cut out lid inside the can then use your church key to punch the triangles in the side instead of the end. It will hold the end plate on tighter, only one punch per position and fewer sharp edges.

Great Video! Ive used this system in the Boy Scouts in 1970's and it worked well with both a wood fire as well as a wax stove. I'll offer one suggestion - when making the double layer at the can bottom, don't put the lid on the outside. Instead, put the lid on the inside and use the church key to punch the holes on the side of the can, locking the top in place. It is both quick and secure.

As kids in the 1970's, we made a version of this for camping. We didn't do the double top, and we put the triangular punched holes on the outside wall just below the rim. Thus, the top could be used as a griddle. Melt butter and crack an egg directly on the hot surface! Bacon, hot dogs, or burgers do well, too. We also punched intake holes around the bottom edge of the can. The sharp triangles need to be rolled down and around with a pliers to make it safe to handle. (a bit of duct tape around that edge isn't a bad idea.) A handy fuel source we used was a 14 to 16 oz vegetable can, top off. Roll corrugated cardboard tightly to fit inside, leaving a 1/2" headspace. Then pour beef fat from cooking into the cardboard until it nearly came to the top of the cardboard. Let it cool completely. You can make these and store them in a freezer, for camping or for when the electric's off. To use, place the fuel can on a flat surface (outdoors!) and light it. Place the cooking can upside down over it. And let the cooking begin!

I keep a larger (veggie can) Buddy Burner in the trunk of my car. It lives in an unused paint can with my fire starter kit. Tip: if you leave the very center of the cardboard taller than the rest, you can light that when you make it and char it. It can then be lit easier with any flame (match or lighter) or spark thrower much like char cloth.

As a Boy Scout we made a thing called a "Buddy Burner" that used a tuna can filled with wax and rolled up corrugated cardboard for the fuel source. Over the top of that was placed a large fruit juice can ( Tomato juice can still be found in the cans I'm referring to). We didn't double up on the top of the stove with the cut out lid, which was a great addition, BTW, and we didn't need an access hole for twigs, because we were using the tuna can, cardboard and wax fuel, therefore no air hole either. In that design, it was imperative to cut as many triangular holes as possible around the bottom edge in order to supply air to the Buddy Burner, otherwise it would choke you to death! I'm not surprised that you needed to punch those extra holes. I also seem to remember that, since the diameter of the can we used is smaller than the #10 can you used, we had to punch a few triangled holes through the sides, up at the top, as well, because it was possible to cover all the top holes up with a relatively small pan and that would kill the draft. Really good video, again.

Same stove we made in the girl scouts. It works like a charm and I still use it these many years later (never mind how many years later this is). 👵 Here are some pointers from an old, I mean experienced, girl scout. 1. Turn the second lid upside down and it will give a better result to avoid burning/scorching. 2. Make a burner unit with an empty tuna can, filled with rolled cardboard (cut to the height of the can) cover with melted bees wax and when cooled you can light it like a can of sterno. 3. Using the burner from #2 you can now cook bacon and eggs in a brown paper lunch bag. Line the bottom of the bag with bacon strips (usually one or 2 strips) crack the eggs 🥚🥚onto the bacon. Roll down the top of the paper bag. Place on the stove and check after a few minutes ( usually 5 or so). Cook until it's to your liking. Then you can tear off the top of the bag and eat it right from the bag. *bonus; the only dish is the fork. Fun project for the kids. 😁

Plus it was part of the fun, we thought we were 'living off the land.' Along with a couple of cans for cooking, we'd take a hatchet or a big knife, some matches, fishing line and hooks. Make your own pole, catch crawfish, lizards or hellgrammites for bait. Catch sunfish, rock bass and chub out of the creek for food, sassafras for a refreshing drink, and enjoy the freedom away from school, parents, and adults in general. aah!

We as kids used to make these to camp with in the 60s. I can't remember doubling up the top. We church keyed holes all along the bottom, at the top as I recall we cut the holes on the sides of the can at the top leaving a totally intact cooking surface. I can't remember but we somehow used a smaller soup can, inverted on top of the cooker surface and you could bake small items. I remember cooking eggs and even hamburger straight on the top.

I'm an old ex modern hobo.. have 20 years of hopping trains under my belt... traveled this entire country... old school ways kick ass.. we used grocery carts to cook all our food and old pots we'd find in the trash, basically grilling out.. sometimes there will be a pot and grocery cart on site at the camp next to the train yard that previous travelersleft behind and sometimes the bulls will destroy them so have to make a new one in a different spot.. always carry a BB gun so you can kill squirrels or rabbits for meat... being on the road your basically on the keto and beer diet the entire time...

I've been cooking out of cans daily since 2010, 5 gal buckets great wood stoves for 12x12 cabin 6 in pipe attach to metal lid send 8 to 10 feet up, w damper, that pipe heats the cabin nicely. 1 gal Paint cans work great picking up 4 new ones next day or so for storing in out in field great seal camo paint them, easier to stash than Plastic buckets, also can be converted later for stove. Also coffee ☕ pot cut a power Ade bottle at the deep groove, cut two short piece weed eater string shape, trim excess cross in bottom, this let's the coffee flow with out a vacuum drop in filter grinds just before boil , pour water thru little at a time first gets the heaviest oils then add more as able fresh as it gets and the pot basically weightless 🤓☕😋

I’ve made a similar size 10 can cooker. Only mine was inverted. I punch a hella lot of holes into it for circulation and then put a 1/2” mesh round on the opened top. Loaded with hot coals, I barbecued marinated meat on this “grill” at least 3 times before discarding the can. By then the heat was too much and it was starting to collapse. But the food was phenomenal and so it was pretty worth it for me. Your design is much better with the open side down over the coals and ashes. Less wear and tear on the can itself. Subbed to your channel!

In the late 1960s my grandfather showed me how to make a simpler version of your hobo stove. Every weekend I carried it all over the state of Texas backpacking from 1973 until about 1980. We made it out of a coffee can and the bottom of the can held the wood. We used the church key on the sides of the bottom to make 4 air vents. On the top of the stove (the opening). Take a nail and make holes in the top side of the can to slide coat hanger or barbed wire rods into so as to make a tray to put your lid onto for the burner. This design makes a rocket stove that will boil water faster than any stove on the market. Funny I should see this. I was cleaning out the basement last weekend and found my old stove!

I did a stove video like this 3 years or so ago. Mine used a small battery pump to add forced air to the mix which burns the wood even more efficiently. However, it does burn well just by itself. I used strapping material, non-galvanized, for the cross pieces to cook with.

Instead of punching the holes in the top, punch them around the top edge and you have a surface you can fry eggs on without loosing them through the holes. Instead of cutting the piece out of the side of the can, just cut across the bottom and up the sides. Fold it up against the can and toast a slice of bread there while the eggs fry. For that matter, just cut up from the bottom. It will still work. These ideas come from my mother who was a girl scout leader in the sixties. These stoves were left behind and made again when needed as there was plenty of them along the tracks and in back alleys. They can be cut with a decent pocket knife.

Ive talked to mother at length about hobos. (Tramps as she called them). She lived next to a railroad growing up in the 30s. They always slept in the barn and worked a few days in exchange for food. I’m sure things varied widely but to her memory most of what they carried was a metal coffee cup, pocket knife, an extra shirt. Their belongings were wrapped in a dish towel / face towel. Generally they did not carry things they could make easily. Who would? Their bandana and knife were in their pockets. And again - she maintained they wrapped their shirt / cup and a few other items (coffee & some food items) inside of a dish cloth not the bandana.

Cut a hole in the side for feeding wood and used one of those round grates with a handle to set the cook pot on, but you could easily thread shish kabob skewers through instead. It's bigger than a coffee can and a little heavier...but will last many years

Nice!!! I never used a stove top like that when I had an open fire so mine always had the closed side down. One thing though, if you put a feeding hole on both sides (rather that the air holes) it'll take care of the air flow problem AND give you some more leeway on the size of fuel that you can use.

I learnt that in cub scouts. But you put the triangles in the side at the top, not in the lid. And if you want a cup, you peel the top off a can most of the way and then twist it so its verticle down the side, and is used as the handle. A bigger tin you take the lid off, and punch two holes in the top edge and put some wire through it, and its your billy.

I remember my sister doing something similar for Girl Guides. Called them buddy burners, use a large can as the cook surface, holes punched along the top side of the can to keep the integrity of the top for a cooking surface and used a candle inside a smaller can placed under for the heat source. That version, as long as you use an indoor safe candles, would be safe to use indoors in an emergency.

Young fella, I always used the other end of the church key to smush down the triangles. And usually, a pit and vent fire for the can so I didn't need the back vents. Fatigue bending a scrap of barb wire and unraveling it for bails. using another # 16 with fewer vents and a couple of green hickory sticks run through both cans into the coals would allow smoking lunch without having to tend it (squirrel or catfish from the trotlines). No open flame to give the position and with the ten-foot bare ground circle, even a cop usually left a business card. Also did okay with a tuna can biscuit (bisquick didn't cost an arm and a leg then).

If you're putting the open end on the ground, another way to solve the air flow problem is to just dig a narrow trench and straddle the can over it. If you're going to put the cut lid in the bottom of the can, put a few pieces of gravel in first so that you can create an air gap between the lid and the bottom, it will last longer that way. And if you want a griddle for your stove, put church key holes around the rim and thread green sticks thru them. Soak the sticks in water first, and strip the bark off the sides that are going to be facing upwards.

You can still get metal coffee cans. Generic coffee like Always Save comes in a metal can. I just bought one a few weeks ago and it was under six dollars for a project. The coffee isn't the best but I mixed it with my normal brand and it wasn't bad. When we were teens we made little cooking pots and stoves like that. They work pretty good and I've got one in one of my spare bug out bags I made to give to my friends who might need one someday. For commercial made gear I like the Zebra pots better than the other ones I've tried. They are heavy duty and will last forever.

The holes you punched in on the bottom of the can opposite from the wood opening I did different. I used the church key and punched in 5 at the top of the can but on the side allowing better draft in the bottom hole heat rises to the top and out also creating air flow from the front to the top back of the can. I had very few holes in the top. I see this can for years for cooking bacon and eggs. The object is to make as smallest fire possible it don’t take much to make the can cooking temp. I had this in the trunk of my car with some charcoal 2 or 3 bricks is all that was needed. Lots of fun. Small fire small fire danger.
