What about those wood chip and wax pucks?can those be used in these stoves?basically a varient of a buddy burner.same thing used in those stove in a can things that are a bit gimicky.but if some more directed airflow is applied maybe it can be a bit more efficient.thing id like to see is if the soot would be reduced.

@brucehammer7463 8 жыл бұрын

I have used this design and it works very well. It's also way lighter than any similar mass market stove. I did one thing different. I used a sideways can opener to open the large can. That way the top will fit back on, and more importantly, stay on. That allows me to store a penny alcohol stove inside the big can and underneath the small can. I also found a plastic bottle that would fit inside the small can, so I always have a backup in case of burn bans, wet wood etc. I used a drill grinding stone to smooth the rough edges from drilling the holes into the small can so they would not puncture the plastic bottle full of alcohol. Thanks for the inspiration!

Use a second larger can on top of this. Rig the stand-off pot stand above this second can. A fire that's slow & sullen in the base unit , with this second tall an now is a healthy fire roaring above the height of the second can. This borrows from the lessons of the rocket stove: keep the fire contained in a taller conmbustion tube for more complete burn.

That` a real good design, in the purist sense. Folks don`t understand the concept of "afterburning" the wood gas produced by burning any organic biomass, like what yo0u have done. With all the untrained out there in youtubeland building stoves and calling them all sorts of popular names, not understanding the roots of these things. These sorts of stoves will greatly reduce your smoke output and leave your cookware pretty clean of soot, plus there is no signature, so no one can easily pinpoint your location.

Not meaning to be that guy, but this isn't a wood gas stove, wood gas is produced by heating wood with no open flame, charing the wood and releasing a flammable gas, this is just a wood stove

@believeit3203 7 жыл бұрын

Wrong. Wood gas is ALSO released when wood is burnt and usually just escapes into the air. By allowing for it's capture, it can be burnt as fuel and the name wood gas stove is absolutely appropriate for this.

@herseem 4 жыл бұрын

@@believeit3203 No, you're incorrect. A gasifier (which is what is implied by the title) produces gas from wood by heating it in an atmosphere with little or no oxygen, and the gas produced is then burnt separately by mixing with air afterwards - in the same device, but it's fundamentally different from just setting the wood on fire, which is what this stove is about

@herseem 4 жыл бұрын

@@believeit3203 Just to add - the key point about gasifiying wood is that it enables you to burn the wood much more efficiently and produce more heat and less carbon monoxide. A few steam locomotives also use that technique for burning coal, and it produces ash that's much easier to handle as well.

@johnmoore5293 2 жыл бұрын

It is a stove. Wood gas is being produced and wood gas is burned at the top of the stove when it meets the heated air from the top of the stove. The term wood gas differentiates it from stoves that are not double wall and do not efficiently capture and burn the wood gas produced.

Way too late, but It works better if you have fewer holes in the bottom of the small can. You want some air to flow in there, but not too much. Right now your fuel i burning up too fast, with too little hot air able to come in from the sides, hence the yellow flame. A flame with enough oxygen would burn blue. A modification of this design would be to create a venturi effect over the lower holes, sucking air out and creating a downdraft in the fuel stack.

@BibleU777 8 жыл бұрын

Jelle B It would be awesome if you could make a video of the better design, or give us a link to someone who has. Also, one video said that the chimney height should be 3x the diameter in order to get the most efficient gasification, does that sound about right?

@atomicsteameng 8 жыл бұрын

You are wrong about the flame color thing. the reason it burns orange is because there are impurities in the flame which gives it an orange tint. So the flame burns blue when there are no impurities.

@JelleBoomstra 8 жыл бұрын

+Atomicsteamengine yes, those 'impurities' are soot-partices, that result from incomplete combustion. And that comes from too much fuel gas/too little air.

I like your stove but since you lit the fuel directly and burnt the wood, it really is not a wood gas stove. If you only burnt the gas within the wood, you would be left with charcoal and that would be a wood gas stove. Your stove, is excellent, burnt the wood as fuel and so you have a wood stove.

@grayhand9676 10 жыл бұрын

I tend to agree. Wood gas stoves recirculate the gases to burn them so you keep a high efficiency and a cleaner burn. This is a nice design but is closer to a rocket stove. Not really sure if there are any advantages to this design since a rocket stove is easier to feed and more efficient.

@dylanhanson5650 10 жыл бұрын

Cary Howe There are indeed advantages to simple TLUDS over rocket stoves when it comes to lets say, cooking on a large pot, canning, or pressure canning, etc. A proper sized TLUD with compressed wood pellets as fuel can burn for quite a long time while requiring no need to constantly feed like with rocket stoves.

you can't always start a fire, but you may be able to use a stove like this. i've made a couple cruid attempts at these they are not too difficult to make but a little planning goes a long way and fuel...well free around here. unlike alcohol stoves and such. also you leave this behind no big deal, maybe use it on a later trip or make another one orwtvr...ther are huge versions of this in a lot of homes and sheds and such for heating purposes. very little smoke too. oh the "rocket stove" concept can be done with tin foil or srap metal or other materials. but you have to understand the concept of how it works first.

guys the convenience of this design is that you can simply throw in small bits f wood as you feel the need to do so, and because it burns hotter and cleaner there is very little charcoal chunks left unless you smother it like a bonfire.

I've built many a fires in precariously dry and windy areas, that would make most boyscouts cry in respects to being a fire hazard,,,, with minimum wind blockage sometimes... Some very compelling reasons for stoves of these nature, are 1-Like stated, they are much more effecient than a regular campfire meaning you can get a much longer burn and more directed BTU's with use of much less fuel, meaning saving tons of time and energy gathering fuel,,, which in some places is somewhat harder to procure, but with a stove like this, often in these place you can reach next to your seat and have enough too cook a 5 course meal... 2- They can make lighting wet fuel much more simple,,, of course there are other ways to get stubborn wet fuel lit. 3- In extremely dry and windy conditions, you don't need to dig a hole or gather stones for a fire ring if there isn't a ring already at the place you want to heat up a quick meal or cup of coffee... That said, brings us to .,,, 4. You can actually break camp or just move the kitchen stove very quickly and bug out with the smolding embers still burning, ... Say you discover a large bees' nest getting extra lively in your immediate vicinity and just want to move the kitchen stove a quick 50 yards and get directly back to cooking. 5.Much less smoke if you are trying to be stealthy.... And or are trying to avoid one of them meals that taste more like fire smoke than what you actually cooked... And again a good stove can burn only a hand full of twigs that took 3 seconds to swip up, good and hot,,, sometimes up to around 30 minutes. 6. These stoves make for a quick fire in fairly barren dessert systems.

Rebecca Glass I have had to use it for that before. Our power went out and had to use the stove to cook food for my children. Took forever, but it works.

Thank you, John for another great diy video. Easy to follow especially with the written follow along instructions. I am definitely going to try this. I made a few of you essential fishing kits and two of the pill bottle water filters. Thanks for helping this nubbie.

Very interesting I've made myself a similar one but it was a rocket stove, a bit bigger than that but still pretty light and compact and crazy hot. This is different but definitely worthy of trying out, specially just for its simplicity. Nice going!
