I’m a natural born Viennese man. You can’t make me more proud. The name of the sausages was an invention of a butcher from Frankfurt and via some weird twisted history the result is that Germans also call them Vienna sausages today, while we in Vienna here call them Frankfurter. No joke. I appreciate your Videos.

I'm a homeless guy I really thank and appreciate the knowledge you shared with me 🤠

Eating my can of vienna sausages as I'm watching. Going to ask my wife to make some spanish rice for dinner to get the tomato paste can empty. Next stop.. the garage.

I want to thank you so much.. I’m a single mom, trying to get ready for any terrible turns of events.. and this video right here.. has made me feel refined… ❤big thanks to you…. Stay blessed…

You are a THOROUGH teacher with the best inventions. Keep going! 😊

Built my first one today. Just as simple and effective as you said. I built mine for home use if the power goes out, so I will have a way to boil water for coffee or meals. I put my stove in an empty canned chicken can and filled around the inside of the chicken can with pea gravel for extra stability, since the original stove is more tall than wide. Also gives even more insulation. A new one-quart paint can from the big box hardware store snuffs it out. Indoors I will use Everclear if I also want to heat a room while cooking. On the porch it's denatured alcohol or yellow-bottle HEET. Thanks!

Tip on drilling thin metal - run the bit backward!

In fact, after a long search, I found your invention to be the easiest and best. Thank you

Great video ,good to know how to make a simple stove without all of the hassle and expense involved that I have seen on other sites and I have used your penny stove for a demonstration to show my grandkids how to make one and how it works and what you can do with it. Grandkids are in their early twenties and they are amazed at what they can do with simple things and not relying on Amazon or the internet. Grandpa was a Eagle Scout and I was in the military so survival was pounded into my brain from the beginning. Love your videos. Keep up the good work !!👍

Fantastic! I've tried almost every type of DIY stove on the internet, and this one is the easiest, cheapest, simplest, most ingenious, longest lasting and most effective I've ever come across. Excellent Sir - well done!

I love it! Mine burns about 28 minutes on 4 ounces. Last time I had it out I made a Velveeta Skillet. Fried the burger, then cooked the pasta for 10 minutes. It ran out just as I was stirring in the cheese. Worked great and I like that it doesn’t soot up the pans like a wood fire.

Very good video, an easy way to make version of "Fancy Feast" stove, with cheap materials. BTW - In my "corner of the world" materials like carbon fiber and similar is expensive and difficult to get, so I try alternatives materials for wick, like cotton, jeans, steel wool (works OK but degrade fast)... ending using a "capillarity wick". A "sandwich" of beverage can aluminum sheets: one flat + one with vertical "grooves" + one flat, whit the same height of the external can, this create sufficient pressure for keep two tomato paste (here cats eat Fancy Feast from plastic sachet) cans - of different sizes; together and the capillarity between the sheets vaporize alcohol well. Bonus: is easy recovery some leftover of fuel.

I just fell in love with the Vienna/tomato stove. So excellent! What a very useful, compact, easy to make tool.

You are the MAN!!! Best and easiest fuel stove that we have seen thus far. Thank you and please keep schooling us.GOD bless and be safe.

Made mine today exactly as instructed. Cooked spaghetti and coffee tonight. Suits me fine. I like the extra fuel capacity.

That's an awesome stove! So I went out this evening to the Dollar General and I bought 3 cans Vienna sausage barbecue and three cans of tomato paste. I thought about making three of these for my grandkids for when they go camping, if they ever do go camping.

Great video! Easy to understand and the stove is so simple. Forget the penny stove, to much effort but the Vienna Stove, so very easy. I will build one today. Thank you so much for sharing!

Wanted you to know I made this stove. Burned it to trim the wick. It fits in my Tomshoo twig burner for use as well as carry. A micro pocket rocket knock off fits in the tomato paste can. Back up to the back up. Thanks for a great bomb proof stove

Dollar store is a great place to buy everything needed for your simple stove.

Been wanting to get myself a simple camping stove but I didn't want to spend too much on one. You sure not only solved my need for a stove but also gave me something to make with my own two hands. Thank you!

Love your vids and I'm sorry I missed this one. So glad I found it because I just made one and this stove is amazing! I used a 100% cotton bandana and get a nice blue flame with denatured alcohol!

DIY KING! Simple. Easy. Works. Everyday materials. No big deal. Perfect!

GREAT VID! You made it so simple. I'm a stove-a-holic but I still had to make this one. I took it out today and it worked out great. Lasted well over 30 min burn in real conditions w/o a wind screen. Used it to heat my coffee water as I prepared my Firebox Nano to heat the hash. I needed this like a hole in the head.....but like I said...stoveaholic!!. Thanks for all you do!! D.

LoL I literally just did this last night and then I see this video:) I had an empty tomato paste can and a small tuna can sitting on the edge of my sink for the past year (I made a super large version using a large can of beans and a soup can and I wanted a smaller version that doesn't suck up a huge amount of alcohol to just get it started) and I finally got around to buying more felt so I decided to put the smaller stove together and didn't trust myself to trim the tomato paste can even enough for me to trust to balance a pot of boiling water, so I dug through my cupboard and decided that the Vienna sausage can was pretty close (I was looking for a one and a quarter inch extension). Yes, I verified that I should have put a saucer over the bowl of Vienna sausages when I microwaved it. Another thought I had was that if I was going to try cooking something that took longer than I planned, if I had a second stove, I could just light it up and switch over without having to wait for the first stove to cool enough to refuel. Bonus: it looks like 2 of the Vienna sausage can stoves will fit inside my larger one.

Awesome demonstration!

Thanks so much for sharing this information about the simplest way to build an alcohol stove. I want to be able to make my own gear for outdoor activities, but due to living with Multiple Sclerosis, my hands don't know how to carry out the thoughts of my brain, LOL! This is truly a blessing to share with your audience! Happy New Year, my friend!

I was about to get the stuff to make a Fancy Feast, but I'm going this route. Way cool and informative video.

Tomato paste and Vienna sausage sales just sky rocketed!

Tried it today and have to say that this design is simple to do, takes no time and is very effective. Mine run for 30 minutes with 100g of methanol it took 8 minutes for 1l of cold water to boil.

Glad to see this: was thinking of doing something this way. Yeah, vienna stove sounds A LOT better than weeny stove! [insert smily face here]. AND, thank you, you answered my question about wick material. This matches what I would have thought. People use fiberglass and more exotic materials - some of which I wonder about when they are lit! The natural materials match what I have found when making things like tablets, fiber/tin stoves, buddy burners, etc., with wax. Basically if it burns or smolders... Here, I like what you're doing - if it wicks and is not toxic, it works! Thanks for no B.S.!

Harim Cook made a fancy feast stove using sand to wick and it worked great. That's a option.

Awesome stoves! Vigilence is required with using alcohol, though. I carry with my Ikea Wood stove as an additional insert. The Ikea gives it more stability and more wind protection. They do go through a lot of fuel!

Really cool video! A long yt rabbit hole got me here, but I’m glad I found it! Thanks again!

U taught me something today... the last day of 2018, thank you! I'll be making one of these after eating some Vienna n making spaghetti... something I've been wanting to do lately!

Thanks to telework, I've been looking at some easy DIY stuff I can do with things I have at home, and I really like the way you go about making your stoves. Thanks!

Just made one to see how good it work. Thanks ,I'm impressed. Man it puts off some heat

This is better than the Arizona stove. Love it mate. Will give it a field test on the weekend.

OMG loved your video,seems so simple and down right affordable. I look forward to making one. My pots aren't notched but I'm sure I can figure it out. Thanks again for a outstanding video.

I like simple! Thanks dude

Love the simplicity and cost effectiveness, I can't think about spending 20 dollars on a camp portable stove, plus now I am just itching to see what I can make using this simple concept.

Great video as always! I've made quite a few alcohol stoves over the years and actually had to use them in my house a couple of times due to power loss. I cooked a spaghetti dinner for 3 over a fancy feast stove I made. Mine was a different design by using a hole punch around the sides of the cat food can, but doesn't hold as much fuel as yours.

By far the best stove I've seen yet awesome. Thanks

I made one of these and it is a great little stove Thanks .

Wow! I am impressed! 🤩

I'm from Vienna and I can say "perfect" :)

Very good explanation. Easy to assemble and use this stove. Simpler then this it is impossible! Very good tutorial. Thanks.

Thanks Buddy ! I'm going to make one of those ! looks like a great coffee maker for me on a Bike ride !

Awesome. I love these little stoves 👍👍👍

Best stove video I have seen...I have watched a few. Thanks so much.

Very cool stove. On my list to make!

thanks for all the ideas I like to try to make one.

i am pleased to see this & will make one soon.

Simply wonderful video! Thank you sir!

A Happy New Year to you my friend. Thanks for all the knowledge you pass forward.

I love it! Just the right video to test what I was looking for. Thank you for a Super demonstration along with full explanations to show how and why the Vienna Stove works! I'm a Believer! Can't wait to try it!

Nicely done, i do believe i will make one.

Another version of this stove that i have made which is slightly bigger is to use a John West Tuna can and a small can of V energy drink and some toilet paper as the wick , i dont know what kind longevity it will have but these are all items that my Scouts have taken on camp so therefore can be used in a pinch to make a stove.

Thanks for educating me!!

Good job man . I LOVE learning new stoves .thank you .Vienna stove is on my list

I am gonna make one of these man. Great video and great instructions!

Thats a great idea of using a veanna can with a tomato paste can… im with ya brother im glad i found your youtube channel

I will make one of these stoves right now 👍 great job and information Thank You

Cool stoves....great video CC

Great video (and your presentation is fantastic). Thanks a lot.

Love it. I'll give it a try. thank you nery much!

Thanks for all the information, trying suv life and couldn’t find 8oz butane for my butane stove. So I made one of these, can’t wait to use it. Nothing compares to survival stoves for me. Good information!!!

Absolutely the greatest prepper survival stove I've seen, as long as there's a Walmart open nearby!!!!???

Cool video! I will be adding this stove to my collection. Thanks!

Sir.... your idea is good. Your enthusiasm is contagious!

That is cool. Thanks for sharing.

Man I just found ur channel yesterday and I really like it thank u for the helpful videos

My man!!! Good stuff, thank you!

Absolutely the best wicking material....Kotex or tampons.

Thankyou , a really helpful video I will be making/ using one of these.

Thanks for sharing, I'll have to try it !

Great video. I built one of these with a can of tomato sauce and paste. Works great.

Excellent, Thanks

@JIUJITSU2000 Hi Skeet, I have been watching diy stove videos for quite a while, trying to get up the motivation to tackle the project. Yours is the first I feel capable of completing without tools and complicated plans. Why did the platform take so long to show this to me? Blessings to you for fine-tuning this so someone other than a hard-core hiker can do it. I've got my cans & hole punch ready! 😀😘💕💖

Estoy sorprendido por la sencillez y efectividad de esta estufa. Felicitaciones.

So glad to've found your channel =) Your mindset is solid and enlightening ") Thank you

This is SO COOL. Thank you!

I love this!!

great video will. defiantly make one of these soon. Thanks

Hey Brother I just made my stove and it worked Great thanks for the information but I think the cat food taste better?

THANK YOU for this re-education! Cheers!!

This is life-changing for me. I have two expensive ($250) Silver fire rocket stoves and the smaller Scout for another $100, from years ago. I can't seem to keep a flame going. I will rig your Vienna stove to slip inside with something to prop it up enough so I can use the unit as a platform to cook on. I can make a wire handle to pull it out. I will make a second one to carry to the park when I walk my dogs and be able to relax with coffee or a snack. Thank you, sir this has got to be the best video of its kind that I ever saw and I have seen just about all of them. I have made many stoves even though I have two commercial ones. I will be making this today, the only thing: I do not eat canned food. :) thanks so much. I am subbing to your videos.

Great when things get repurposed like that. Good presentation !

I love the idea and will be making one soon. The only thing I'd like to find out is how long it takes to boil the two cups with the proper sized wick and flame. Thanks for the video!

You explained all this very well and easily. One video I they were seen using buddy burnres for cooking instead of Vienna sausage cans. They put holes in a can all across the top and bottom and they cooked on the top if can as a frying pan substitute.. Your video is one of my favorite on here because you make it so simple where as some act as though they are building a rocket ship to the moon.lol

I just got a litre of alcohol 99.9% and i am waiting on some oven door fire blanket type material though i can not wait and i do struggle for dexterity so it looks like i will go with just an unused paint tin. And i already do have an oil lantern heater that i made from 2 cake tins and a small sheet of 1mm thick mild steel that the lantern sits inside and it heats the top cake tin up great, i had my main room at 20 degree's C last night though it is not very cold here in bonnie Scotland yet but i sure am glad i came across this channel, i enjoy watching and making what i can myself so these vids are great for everyone as i think that we are all going to be left in the dark when folks need the heating or go very cold. If you have mobility or issues with dexterity you can just use a very clean paint tin filled with fire blanket and pour the alcohol in and go from there. But be sure to use all of the safety tips shown and used right here in this video. 👍

Great video.

I tried this. Jeez, it's the easiest thing to make, I used blue paper hand towels from the works toilets for a wick and it works like a dream, great vid man.

Can’t wait to try this!

Men! Koreans turbo stove, another fancy stoves but this video is 1 of the best sample easy survival! Men I susc.,,, like !! and if I can stamp 10 starts I will do it ! Thank you !

Awesome i love the fancyfeast stove but looks a new build coming shortly thanks for sharing man

Thank you so much for sharing your invaluable expertise. I am using candles to heat up water & it takes 20 minutes. I have a big bottle of 91% alcohol & was thinking about an alcohol stove. I was refilling the Fancy Heat cans but had one explode when I lit it & shoot the lit 🔥 wick through my tarp shelter. Just learned there's a recall & not available anymore. This is going to be easy & perfect for my needs.

Neat twist on fancy feast stove. I agree also use paper towels 4 a wick. IMO Mr. Hiram made a mistake by not commercially making his idea, someone else did thou. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Amazing !!! Thank you so much . 👏🌹👏🌹👏

This is really cool, so simple! I am making one tonight.

Great video, thanks 👍
