Homemade "Gallon Can" Wood Stove!. DIY Tin Can Wood Stove. Made using only 2 cans! No special tools required. Easy DIY. Cost $5.00. only fuel needed is twigs, leaves and small sticks. works by pulling air in through holes drilled in the center section of the larger can - then into (and up through) the smaller "inner" can. small, portable and powerful. stove will burn for 10 to 15 mins on each "fill up". was designed to be a fully self-contained. (all ash collects in the bottom third of the gallon can - for easy disposal). wind and "light rain" resistant. only tools needed: drill, tin snips & pliers. was $4 for the gallon paint can (at ace hardware) and $1 for the smaller can (dollar store).

The classic construction of a woodgas stove. In those I built it paid out to put some insulation (glass fibre fabrics) on the outside of the inner chamber, fixed by wire and/or an additional sheet, cut out from another can, to attain the crucial 495 degrees Celsius really fast.

I missed where you added holes top of inner can. Anyway, I would suggest removing the bottoms of both cans, threading wire (or insert grill) bottom of inner can (with > 1 cm² spacing) and keeping widest bottom to collect ash. This gives more air to bottom of wood fuel and much easier to clear ash in operation.

@wwhb4780 Жыл бұрын

you must determine the amount of oxygen which enters at the bottom of the inner chamber really carefully, which is not possible with a wire mesh etc. The most part of burning should happen at the upper end of the device, not down there in the burning chamber; there should only enough heat to gasify the wood, which MUST NOT get oxygen to burn. I always made two bottoms, so I could twist them against each other and regulate the air flow. Ashes should not be a problem. If the device is built well, trying to attain the "Holy Grail", sorry, the blue flame burner, there would be less than one teaspoon full of very fine, light grey dust.

@RubberSmuggins 3 жыл бұрын

Do not put holes in the side of the inner can. Once the burn gets below them it will suck air through them as the bottom holes are covered in ash and therefore a bit restricted. Without them the ash will be fed with air and keep glowing until there is nothing left of the ash to keep going.

Love these Gasifier Stoves, But burning those steel cans like that what is the life usage of this type of stove, before a can Burns out. Looks like the two smaller cans probably the upper smaller can would be first to go, and have the shortest life span. But making up two or three extras could resolve that problem. I have a Few professionally made stove of this type one is the Silverfire survivor stove, and a Stovetec stove, both are Very good and durable. I would not mind building a few of these for a travel type disposable, if need be.

Remove the top holes. The air gap is to provide heated air, which heats the unburnt wood to produce wood tar gas. This provides better combustion and a hotter flame.

A steel can will eventually fall apart. It'll be usable for a long time and many burns, but will become corroded and brittle, rust-like.

@wwhb4780 Жыл бұрын

I never purchased or made a woodgas stove which did not, in the first minutes, soil the pot with a thick layer of soot. It's good for garden, outdoor, week-long electricity blackout, war or catastrophe. In daily use this is not practical. They will cast you out of any truck stop etc. if you try to wash up your gear there, and it will soil you, your clothing and your car beyond recognisation within a few seconds. Buy a flat little gas stove, they are good and cost next to nothing.

Derek Everyguy hi there. yep, the ash falls through the inner can and into the bottom of the gallon can. with this large "storage area" for the ash (bottom third of can) you could probably run stove for 8 hours before you needed to dump it. (after running it for 30 mins the ash was only 2 to 3 millimeters deep).

Nothing beats the fancee feest design for simplicity and performance. 3 oz aluminium cat food can ("fancy feast"). 5 or 6 oz tomato paste can (probably steel) cut so it's 1" taller than cat can whilst inside (taller burns faster, less efficient; shorter slower but more fuel efficient). Punch a hole or four at the top and bottom of tomato can (to prevent vacuum and suck alcohol outward to be wicked up). Line with carbon fiber, insolation, or just toilet paper between cans. // Bigger is not better. If you want more heat, wider might help, but not taller. Rather build several cat and tomato stoves.

@vegahimsa3057 3 жыл бұрын

Keep fuel in pocket to keep warm in winter. The catomato stove will light at negative Fahrenheit. A wind screen is a must. Recommend tall aluminium beer cans, cut flat, folded together (two or three should be sufficient). 1/2 inch space between aluminium windscreen and your pot (metal cup) which sits directly on top of your lit tomato can.

***** hi there. while it's true that you need to pick up the pan to fully reload the fuel supply (versus the direct "bottom feed" of a rocket stove) it only takes a few seconds and burns for 10-12 mins per "fill-up". also consider that this stove has the benefit (over the rocket stove) of not needing to remove the ash nearly as often (every couple of hours vs. once every 8 hours (assuming continuous burn) due to it's large "storage area" for the ash under the burn chamber.
