When I was a kid we made a heater we called a duck blind stove. To make the stove a can of any size can be used, coffee cans and paint cans are best for blind stoves. To make, tightly roll some corrugated cardboard to fit into the can. Then melt paraffin wax and pour it into the can with the rolled up cardboard inside. That's it. These things will burn for hours and can be use to cook or brew coffee. The only negative thing is that the paraffin gives off a black greasy smoke, although not horribly but it does blackens pots and pans, so is best used outside. Paint cans with bail handles are really the best and the lids fit nice and tight for transport. I imagine veggie oils and alcohols could be uses as will as paraffin.

@warrior7787 3 ай бұрын

Are you lighting the cardboard? I didn’t understand

@gregswank547 3 ай бұрын

Just like the toilet paper doesn't burn until the alcohol is gone, the cardboard is just a reservoir for the paraffin which produces the flame, a candle if you will. Eventually the cardboard will function as a wick burning down as the paraffin is used up. I hope that helps. We called them a duck blind stoves but there is no way it could keep the blind warn but it did brew the coffee and keep it warm.@@warrior7787

Great little video for preppers on repurposing common materials and spending minimal coin to get it all up and running. Many dollar stores carry 100% cotton indoor clothesline cord which I've used for wicks in different projects. It makes a great waxed fire extender for lighting campfires. I wrap them in a piece of rolled up aluminum can where I can just pull the cord inside the tube to extinguish. Another good wick is the dollar store 100% cotton white mop. Just cut what you need and you're off to the races.

My DT sometimes has gas line anti-freeze, which is just methyl alcohol and burns well. I add a tiny pinch of salt to it and it turns the flame orange so I can see it better. You can't cook directly over the open flame (no toasted marshmallows) but you can cook in a pot with it. I also made a very stinky sardine can lamp once, just using the oil the fish came packed in. I've seen baby oil used to make lamps, but I've never tried it myself.

i have 2 of the single sterno stoves you show here. a couple years ago i made a grate plate for the bottom. that sits where the can of fuel sits. this allows me to put 6 to 9 charcoal briquets on the grate for grilling. i have also added a 2nd grill grate on the top that has smaller spacing between the bars so my food dosen't fall into the fire. it lets me cook a burger or a couple of hot dogs at one time. i get about 1 hour cooking time from this setup. as i am cooking for one. so far i have used briquets & wood in this way. the wood was cut down to 1/2 x 1/2 inch x 4 to 5 inch pieces that fit. twigs are good.

What I would like you to test out is a regular tea candle vs a tea candle made of vegetable shortening in a side by side contest. It’s proof of concept that a vegetable shortening candle will outperform any regular candle hands down. I’ve heard it said that a regular tea type candle will burn maybe two or three hours tops. It would blow most people’s minds that a vegetable shortening version would burn many many hours longer. Just in a pinch you you’d have a very small dirt cheap candle that would last for hours.

@ChefPrepper 3 ай бұрын

Heet is primarily methyl alcohol. It is not the same kind of anti-freeze you would put into your car radiator, instead it is supposed to keep your cars gas lines/etc from freezing due to water content in gasoline. Being that it is an alcohol, it makes for a good alcohol fuel. Not one to cook directly over with something like marshmallows or hot dogs, but instead cook with a kettle or skillet. Hope this helps.

Old vegetable oil- RUST PROOF SURVIVAL GEAR. ... REMOVE RUST. ... MAKE EMERGENCY FUEL (BIODIESEL) ... LUBRICATE A CHAINSAW. ... LUBRICATE SQUEAKY JOINTS. ... PROTECT GARDENING TOOLS. ... CREATE LIGHT. ... KEEP PESTS AWAY…. And I think there’s a couple more uses, but I can’t remember. ☺️

70% works but has lots of water in the Alcohol. Another fuel still cheap at Walmart is Heet in the Yellow bottle, not the Red.

Oh I got all these I was hoping for something new but it's still interesting video Hand sanitizer is the best it lights quickly but Burns quickly but it's a good fire starter

I had a tea light catch on fire with me once. I couldn’t blow it out!!! Stuck it in my sink and the water blazed it up almost on my face but it went out. I was young then

In future have a cup or bowl to put over it which will suffocate it. No running thru the house with a flaming torch 😉

@@melodyclark4347 exactly. I was a young 20s kid and didn’t think about it then. Hope instead of panic I would think then. Dunno.

Salt works good to put out fires, use plenty to cover the fire.

Yeah, anything with fire…Make sure you have something nearby to snuff it out or have a fire blanket nearby. Could save your life… anything nearby little flames catch on quick .. son is a firefighter. Also make sure the large quantities a vegetable oil or flamables are nowhere nearby. My mom burned her house down like this. 😞

Thanks for sharing these materials, Chef Prepper! I love the thought that these items can be bought at The Dollar Tree. No, I've never seen an anchovy can stove before. I like the tinned gel cans; I'll look for them. I found a single burner mini stove. Now to get some oil for it. LOL. Peering through a facepalm. Yes, I am listening. Best wishes!

On the glass canning jar if you don't have a canning jar lid to cut the opening in for the wick,you can take a piece of old or new window screen cut hole in for size of wick or you can use a hand strainer,the metal mesh for a top on the jar and cut hole in it to the size of your type of wick.l had a broken plastic handle on one of my hand strainers and l cut the mesh wired strainer part out and formed it around the canning jar and put a hole in the middle of the mesh strainer for the wick.worked good.nice video on comparison fuel ideas.😊

I use meat grease. I bought floating candles on amazon. I watched a video about putting a wick in a jar then put rocks in to hold the wick up then pour in the grease

Very nice!!! You missed one though. They sell both the yellow and red bottles of knock off Heet auto fuel treatment. The yellow is best as it burns the cleanest, the red soots.
