This guy is a genius, he knows what he is doing. Thanks for educating us!

I think I watched around 20 videos about alcohol stoves and yours is the first one that wasn't completely boring! Thanks for holding my interest and for the great demonstration. Great job!

I'm glad you did a segment on the fuel source. My 70% was difficult to start and I was wondering why. So thanks!!

Long video but very informative and well explained. Great job on each step and on the explaining why you do what you do.

Thanks for the time you took to discuss the differences. Good vid!

This is a great video with lot of information Sir. Good day too.

I enjoyed the video. Also you speak clearly and well and present the process in an orderly fashion that makes following the work easier. Lots of enjoyment watching these alcohol stoves work.

I gave my daughter a survival bag and she needed a stove so I made my second Jiujitsu stove. I played your video while I was making it. This one worked great the first time. I learned from the first one. Thanks again.

GREAT JOB on this video instruction !!! Thanks for taking the time to help design another method of heating for all of us !!

"nothing too crazy." Great philosophy for life! Love your videos!

Thank you! :) I am just learning about these can stoves, watched several videos and you have explained things I hadn't heard yet. I am going to try this design of yours as one of the first I try. :) Thank you for talking all the way through, I learned a lot. Also, thank you for not adding crappy music to make it harder to hear you. lol

Love it! Great naration and demo! Thanks! ❤

Great Video! I need to make a few of these. With having the yellow flame from the lower grade alcohol, or using a campfire a great trick to keep your pots and pans clean is to rub the outside of them with liquid soap. That way if you want to clean the soot off of them, it comes right off.

Sweet!!! You are so great at explaining things simply. Well done! Thank u!

I think I'm going to try this. The Arizona cans are thicker and it makes a wider stove for my GSI boiler 1.8L pot. I can try it out this October's backpacking trip. Thanks for the video.

your techniques are the simplest and the best. i like the fact that you use the simplest tools available to make them unlike some of the other videos. enjoyed watching...will definitely try it. thanks

Very good idea about the best choice of alcohol

Great job! Excellent instructions plus a very positive attitude. Thanks for taking the time to share.

I finally got a chance to finish your video and I'm glad I did because I learned a few things, keep up the good work.

Danke (Thank you) from Germany.

I really enjoy watching your video presentation on this simple Can Stove and yet very effective tool in cooking purposes aside from it is very light to carry on it is not expensive because the material itself is available that most people put only in the garbage but they don't really know his ultimate used. Two thumbs up buddy, I hope can share more wonderful and meaningful videos such like this. From Philippines-Randolph P.

Loved this video - so informative and you took your time explaining each process while making it. Thank you :)

I think this was a pretty good educational video

I like the preparetion thanks good job

mate superb video well explained and from start to finish!!! great job and thankyou for this!!

Very well explained

Really cool to see something out of almost nothing. I can see where this wold help someone who's homeless.

This was very educational thanks

I actually enjoy the longer videos. Sometimes I watch your videos more than once, especially the reloading videos. I find them very interesting and also you sound a lot like John Corbett.

Good information. Im Shah from Malaysia..We also use this in here.. Same practices

I love this thing! People who think they're underpower for cooking have never tried one. I used mine yesterday to make some instant potatoes. Two cups of water was boiling before the stove was fully primed. I could have made stuffing, gravy and dessert in the 50 more minutes it would have burned. The other good thing is you can use them indoors. Most of the time when my power goes out it's because of wind or ice on the wires. Not really a good time to be cooking outside.

Your stoves will prime quicker if you will enlarge the holes a little and if you take the lid from a larger vegetable can (make sure it is unbent so as not to spill any fuel) as a saucer underneath the stove and add just enough fuel to the saucer to make a ring all the way around the outer edge of the saucer (use a can lid that has raised circles in it to keep the fuel just to the outer edge of the saucer/lid) then light the fuel in the saucer also and it will heat the stove for much faster blooming. Also if you are going to snuff the flames while the stove still has fuel in it it would be a good idea if you would stuff the stove with either carbon fiber from a welders carbon fiber blanket material that you can buy online or with any non-flammable attic insulation to absorb the fuel so that it still burns but spills far less if tipped over. Alcohol fuel burns from alcohol stoves have seriously injured and subsequently scarred quiet a few people because of spills.

Cool video, if a little long. I just found out about using Arizona cans. I had tried a Fosters beer can before, but I don't drink alcohol, sooooo.... A suggestion is to use a dremmel when possible. One thing I like to do is polish the bottom of the can to a high gloss shine and therefore have the parabolic mirror effect to start a fire if needed. I like to make something as multi function as I can... Take Care!

You can also use a regular soda can. Its exactly the same size....no stapling. Just thought id help a bit

excellent job man.. keep it on.

Nice video! I made one today with your instructions,it works great.I used Heat as my fuel.Thanks!

Great demo sir , i learned a bit for sure so thank you

Very cool! Tks for to share this!

By the way don't let your house insurance company see these videos Good Luck God bless thanks for your service dude I'm not stupid

Nice one sir thanks

love your video on can stove out of all the videos I have seen yours was the best thank you so much can't wait to make my own for my camping trips.

Enjoying , watching...

Good video.

Awesome video! Very detailed. I would like to try this one.

Better video than those tiktok survivalist who speak like their on Adderall

thank you so much for the video. It's so useful..

Your voice mesmerizes me. Thanks for the info. You crack me up too.

Hi, greetings from the UK,,, great informative video, I'm going to make one of these as an alternative to my Trangia stove, and see which I like the best, ! . Incidentally, I always use a ferro rod to shower sparks to light the Trangia, works every time . ! Thanks again, John

A little tip for when you're assembling the two cans- 20:00, use a full, unopened Arizona can and press the bottom piece on to that. That way, it'll stretch the bottom piece out, and you may not have to tap on it to get it to fit together. It'll be less snug, but still a good fit. Anyway, that way you could replace a piece instead of having to make a new one.

Thank you for the knowledge ..

I like your stoves, especially your new version.

Jiu Jitsu! Back before the Korean conflict we never heard much about Karate and so on, the big thing then was Judo. In th army we had unarmed defense and that worked very well as far as it went. When I was in high school I sent away and got a book on Jiu Jitsu and I loved it. Still do. Keep up the good work.

I know he is doing an example here, but if you blow on that center flame, you can get the stoves to prime in about 10-15 seconds rather than just waiting on them to bloom which can take 1-2 minutes.

Hice for sharing.A really good job!Paco

Very informative, thanks.

Very good video! I am definitely making one, thanks!

You make a good video.Thanks for the information.

I liked the video and am going to try some of your kits. I have followed you for a while but tonight I watched for a long time. I love stuff like this. I have been wantng to build a stove for a long time ... now I think I might work up nerve enough to give it a try.

Hey man that's a pretty cool stove!

Nice stove for storage!

Very cool...thanks...I’m making one today!

Great video. A little long. Could have time lapsed some to cut in half. I've built my own Budweiser stove from 25oz tall cans just today. Heading to Current River for my birthday weekend. Gonna take it for a test drive. Thanks again. 👍👍

It's a KZfaq video I was watching called "No Electircity Needed Heater" she says using crisco makes the candles more efficient more effective.If that's possible you can save money.I will use bigger candles for that experiment and bigger flower pots.And put a metal tea pot filled with water on top with a vent over it with a fan to blow the steam.And carry some extra tea bags and some sugar and try using a metal pot that don't rust.You can Google pots that don't rust and it will give you the names of the pots that don't rust.

Very nice 👍

Another great video, thanks for sharing. FWIW denatured alcohol is primarily grain alcohol with a host of other solvents like acetone, toluene and others added to make it unfit for human consumption.

on the piece you use to put out the stove leave a piece about half inch wide and two inches long as a handle,it folds over to put away

Great recycling product. Thank you for sharing. I will teach people in rural areas to make it. They couldn't get aluminum sheet or any other materials, but they have soda pop cans. Big US drinks mfg make it accessible for them. I am thinking to redesign a (small) pipe cutter and make it adjustable to any size of cans, to cut them clean at one turn.

Thanks for telling me why you place the bottom piece on the inside. I was puzzled about that design. And the cost of fuel and where to find it. I was in Walmart and the worker in the sporting goods section never heard of denatured alcohol. Helps to know where to look for a product.

Buy Heet fuel additive at an auto store. Burns really clean and efficient, and is cheap. I put a small hole in the inner wall at the top. This way you can set your pot directly on the stove and no vacuum will be created between the fuel chamber and the pressure chamber.

I wonder whether some copper wire going through the fuel grooves and upwards would make the blooming go any quicker. A sort of W shape to help conduct the heat from the central flame to the edges.

I've made them for 22 years-- a lot less complex than yours¡!!!! I still use the first one even even the AT and other trails. Also the yellow container of "Heet" which is available all over. Rev.Dr. Howard Lyons

💖 it! Just keep bringing it out!

Super awesome

Very informative. Thank you!

kick ass. I made a penny stove works great. how far can i fill it up. this is more fun than cotton candy & canned beer

best design yet...I'm going with this one...🤔

good info thankx I copied you & made one it works fine.

thanks soooo much for shareing im makeing one this weekend

Nice! But why you made it shorter ?

I just watched the one where you built that smaller stove then I watched this. In the other one you used denatured alcohol and it was nearly primed in 3 minutes. In this one it didn't prime in over 10 minutes. Was the fuel the only difference? I have one about 2-1/2" tall to fit inside my Sterno stove. It takes just over 3 minutes to prime when I pack it full. Burns about 37 minutes. I just made on from 24 ounce cans to fit in the Sterno stove. Holds about 6 ounces and burned 55 minutes! I can cook a whole meal on that baby!

Not at all as easy as you make it look. Been raiding the recycle bins and practicing your penny model. Definitely a plus to be able to make either one of them living a in hurricane area. Thanks again for another great patient teaching video.

Was the Shotgun Shell a 2 1/2 inch? Also any advantage to putting wicking material between the inner Well and outside?

Muito bom Parabéns nota 10 Obrigado

Great video also thanks.

What a great stove. I've watched tons of alch stoves vids and haven't been interested in making any more besides my bud light rolled edge bottle stove (which I love)... but I'm definitely making this one. I like how it's high capacity for fuel, and the different caps you made for it.... I may even make one out of a foster can. Great work and video man, I subbed too!!

Boom. Puts the stove out nice and easy.

fascinating!

I am curious ! what do you use to transport these extremely fragile stoves in.... after making several of these beer can stoves I've come to the conclusion you can't just toss it in your back pack....it'll get crushed ! I was thinking a planters Nut can with a lid ! what do you think ?

Cool project, thanks! I made mine with the big 25 oz Fosters cans for top and bottom and a Rockstar Energy drink tall can fit inside perfectly without having to custom size & staple. Have you experimented yet with wicking on this design? From some other vids I've seen, I would expect the benefit would just be be faster priming.

Good information, a little time speed up would make the video more enjoyable.

haha backpacking and jujitsu two primary hobbies of mine i already like you

Can improve alcohol vaporization, and so short the bloom time and increase a bit the flame of this model if: - Put a cloth tube wick (cotton, line, carbon fiber, fiberglass cloth, steel wool...) around the outside wall of the internal aluminum tube - inside the sub-camera; for create capillarity. Trangia B25 have this wick (see picture in their B25 burner page). - Add a second aluminum wall around the first, up to 2/3 of their height, this extra wall help concentrate more heat and speed alcohol vaporization. or - Add a second wall around the first, up to 2/3 of their height, but with vertical grooves, this will create a "turbo" capillarity. A variation is made the grooves in the inner piece - the top of the can; up to ~ 1/2 bellow the end of straight part, and then make holes at end of each groove, bonus, this grooves will help fit one part in the another.

Heat the gas line antifreeze is a great fuel and its cheaper then denatured alcohol it costs a bit more then 91% and there's no soot either.

I forgot to ask the question I intended. What about Everclear? I use it a lot clean things because I understand it is pure alcohol. I can't remember what it cost me, but I got it at a liquor store. Pretty expensive is I recall, but I bet it burns hot. it sure tastes hot ... Whewww!!!!

The Spider-Man figure Rocks

How long have your circles had corner's

Nice video very informative, what is the smell. Of. Each. Fuel.

How long does it burn for? Thank you!

verry glear

Try using heat. It burns better and leaves no suit. At Wally world it is 1.43 a bottle I believe. I added lamp wicks to my penny stove and when full it burns for about an hour 45 min. Heats a quart of water to boil in about 2 min.
