that's awesome thanks for sharing. I've done the exact same thing using the larger Arizona iced tea cans in fact I will be releasing a video here very soon about it
Living in hurricane country, your little stove would have been great to have when going 2 wks. without power. You did an excellent job of showing how. Thank you Going to make a couple.
Nice video! When you add more alcohol (at 18:09 ), instead of pouring from the bottle, it may be safer to put some in the screw cap of the bottle (or the lid you use at the end of the video) and pour that on the stove, with the bottle at a safe distance. Just in case it's still burning (outdoors on a sunny day, those flames are almost invisible).
Thank you so much for this video. I live in a very cold climate and we often lose hydro. Last time my daughter and I wanted some morning coffee so bad and no way to make it. But I believe I can make a penny stove like yours. Only problem left for me is how to put the coffee pot on it. Thanks again and stay safe and healthy.
Dude! I've been wondering when I would see Jiujitsu overlap with my other main interests! Making stuff, fixing stuff, outdoors, increasingly firearms, and jiujitsu! I like you! Subscribed!
I made one lastnight but I made mine a double wall with the aluminum ring that fits inside the ring at the bottom of the can then seals to the ring on the top when it is pressed together. after the heat and pressure came up and the jets kicked in it stayed lit for 45.min and boiled a quart of water really well using 70% rubbing alcohol. I also made another one (Double Walled) that has the center ring in the top completely removed and is stuffed full of cotton. It burns about 30.min but burns like a can of sterno fuel. It is nice though because the fuel wont spill. These are pretty fun to make and could come in handy. They actually produce quite a bit of heat. enough to warm up a small room if you really have too. I have been a survivalist (prepper) since I was 13 and I am 44 now. I enjoy making and testing new stuff. It is a fun hobby.
Nice project. I used something like this back in Vietnam. I took a small c ration can and used a P38 can opener (The military guys will know what that is) to cut holes all the way around top and bottom in the sides of the can. We had nasty heat tablets we could use for fuel but the fumes were horrible. So, we opened a Claymore mine and dug out the C-4. If I remember correctly I rolled a piece to about marble size and lit it with my Zippo lighter. I sat my canteen cup on top of the can. The flame was white hot and burned long enough to boil water for a dehydrated LRRP meal. Never had one blow up in my face.
Great video! We used to make these when I was a kid. A few thoughts. By using a larger can you can increase burning time. Place the stove in a hole about one inch narrower than the pot you are heating and at the same height as the top of the stove to stabilize your cooking pot. (I usually did not have to vent the hole YMMV. I have used about any liquid that will burn. Be safe, stick with alcohol unless you are in a serious jam. The comments have a few inaccuracies. Apparently some people are confused about the various types of alcohol. The last time I checked Heat contained Methanol not Isopropyl Alcohol. Still makes a good fuel just not IPA. Denatured alcohol is Ethanol with various chemicals added to make it undrinkable. Makes a good fuel. Isopropyl Alcohol is Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) not to be confused with other types of alcohol. A good fuel if it does not contain too much water. No mouth wash contains Methanol. It is poisonous and will kill you if ingested. (I don't want anyone to poison themselves by thinking any of these forms of alcohol are drinkable.)
+jiujitsu2000 so nice!!!! but next time dont make your stoves high that much, because the more its higher the more heat you have to give it to keep the vapor inside and glide the the holes. I had so much problems to make one of these, but at the end I foud a small nivea can and punched holes in it and its working good!!
I just made one and it works great!! I only used rubbing alcohol and it burned for 15 min till I blew it out, there was still half the amount of alcohol left! I cant wait to use this to percolate some coffee on my next hiking trip. also, I used a new penny.... and it worked just fine. Thanks for the video!
By far the best penny stove video I've ever seen. Doesn't call for anything fancy and unnecessary, just simple and to the point. I do have to call you out on one thing though, I honestly doubt that stove is putting out 8,000BTU/hr. I might be wrong on that, but a pocket rocket only puts out 8,200BTU/hr, and I've never seen an alcohol stove boil water anywhere near that fast.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support you get my channel I appreciate you stopping by as far as the btu output rating that was just a guess if I remember correctly. Have a beautiful day my friend
I made a few of these (similar) in the falklands during the war when we were let down by supplys and they delivered when they deliverd coke instead. Nice videobrother.
One hell of a brilliant little video on how to make an effective (and very cheap) stove that will make life seem a little bit more worthwhile. Thanks jujitsu.
you can use three coke can alloy or tin sheets and make either flat designed panel sheets and hinge them to fold flat using wire for hinges. then erect them as a wind protective screen and pot support just like those ones that are designed for use with the Nesbit solid fuel tablets which the army use as they have small flames and u can even dig a small hole in the ground and put this stove in there resting your pot of water just above the ground
Sorry about the earlier comment .It was my mistake that I didn't put the penny on the stove. I thought that I will have no problem if the flames started to rise from the middle of the stove. But I tried this once more and I was 100% successful! Thank you very much for the video and the information.
+Lynn Bauldree that's a good fuel. did you spill it all over the stove and create a fire around the stove? if so this will create very high pressures. did you use a push pin to make the burner holes?
Just made this and it actually worked. Only thing I had different was I had a mini screwdriver that I made into a poker, was much easier to poke the holes and I also have ductwork crimpers that made a perfect crimp for connecting the 2 pieces. Made this in less than 5 minutes. Thumbs Up!
I lost my Swedish design Tangier Stove which this design is based upon and I really appreciate this video thankyou now I will be able to make and replace it. If you place a wind guard metal skirting around this little stove or a metal cyclinder like a tin with holes in it to rest your cooking mess tin or pot you will really cook in no time at all. I cycle tour across Europe and I prefer not to hassel with cooking and eat raw vegetables and tinned tuna, sardines while on the road and then make up for it with a good meal in the the city but this stove has excited me to get back to some homemade cooking spaghetti carbs loading on the road. I also take my dog now in his doggie hut trailer and he would love some cooked stew for a break from doggie tinned food added to his boring biscuits. love this stove thanks dude!
good job just so you know to run a gas stove 15 minutes here is 2 dollars but with this stove for a dollar in alcohol you get 2 hours run time almost so i am not bored i am frugal and saving money
Bottled gas sellers are filthy thieves. Prices for a small gas cardridge are extremely expensive. Would prefer butane or propane if it wasn't that expensif.
Best way to Prime this Stove is from 'below' - just a little fuel dripped underneath, like you did at (18:20); If you try Preheating from the Centre as you did initially you might find (As I did) that A) Not enough heat is reaching the internal alcohol as it rests below the Priming Flame & B) Fumes escaping from the internal reservoir 'might' ignite around the Penny causing you to burn your internal fuel before it has a chance to Pressurize/Boil. I rest my Penny Stove on a bit of Foil/Aluminum in which I drip a little fuel which works every time. Great Video btw thank you; The crimping technique you used was a neat trick - one I will remember (I've seen people doing small cuts in the perimeter of the bottom can in order to get it to fit , but I would worry about that split travelling down at some point and causing a leak)
I’m planing on going on a camping trip up to my cabin and was wondering if this would be safe to use for heat in a enclosed area and would I be inhaling any toxins depending on what fuel I use
Good stuff! thanks for your service. I tool your advice, used a Sterno folding stove, a tuna can lid for the base, used 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and after primed, boiled 2 cups of water in an open top canteen cup in 7 min and 50 seconds. I threw in a Romen Noodle soup and ate lunch. put the cap on that you made and a week later it still had alcohol in it! Your the man! keep 'em coming! OORAH! LEATHERNECK OUT!
awesome comment! thank you for the support and kind words. I loved serving my country and if I was needed, I'd go back in a heartbeat. have a great day! Hooyah!! :-)
I've been promoting you page to all my military, law enforcement and hunting friends. Im disabled, USMC retired but I enjoy sharing good stuff to my prepper friends. Thank again for your great Ideas.
Sure glad I found your video first. Checked some other videos on soda can stoves and could not believe how complicated they were and so many tools etc. one would give up after a couple of minutes. Thanks again.
Very nice informative video. Your verbal instructions were perfectly clear (appreciate the safety advice) and your shots were nicely focused. Great job. I'll be making one of these soon, just to add to my post-apocalyptic skill set.
+anon ymous thank you for the very kind words and support that you give my channel. Please feel free to check out my soda can stove video as well it's very similar to this one and soda cans are everywhere
Very concise ...and that makes it easy. That last little bit where you threw the coke bottom on top of it ...looked very clean afterwards, but throwing something at burning alcohol ...well you know if many people do it, someone is going to start a fire. Why not leave a small tab on that coke bottom so you could use it as a small handle like they had on candle snuffers? And I saw someone question about a place to put the pot. If you going to stay in the frugal status ...then find a food can that's bigger in diameter and taller, and cut it down to where it's a couple of inches taller, then make vertical cuts about two inches down and fold every other one down (keeping them all the same height) and voila! You have a pot stand. Just put your alcohol burner in the center of the larger can and set your pot on top. Keep the ideas coming.
This was an awesome video. I'm gonna make one. Off topic but can you tell us what camera you were using to make this video? It has great color, focus and was good at the macro shots too. Thanks!
This project is one of the simplest and best described of all the 'penny can stove' vids I've watched today. You also had the foresight to know someone will ask how long they burn for! That was my main wonder. Great vid. Will share that around...
Cheers for sharing this. A nifty lil stove indeed. Whipped one up in a couple minutes at work last night with just 4 burners to provide a little ambience in the smoker's courtyard. It was a hit. Aussie 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins are 75% copper and 25% nickel, while the 1 and 2 dollar coins are 92% copper, 6% aluminium and 2% nickel. They're plenty tough :-)
jitsu that is nice men I like it it remind me when I was in the service specially in germany graff if u been there u know what I'm talking about thanks DAVeteran joseph
Thank you, you are a very good teacher. What kind of frame do you use for cooking over it? I know there are quite a few , but am curious as to what you find most useful.
Wow. What a nicely made video. I followed along and made my own adorable little stove. Now I'm taking it into the North Cascade Mountains in Washington State. I'll be thanking you when I'm cooking my breakfast!
My stove was stolen and ended up in this video looking for something how i can make fire temporarily for me to cook rice hahaha. Im serious about my stolen stove btw
+jiujitsu2000 hey man! it really works! I have bottles of lighter fuel at home. Will it also work the same? Havent tried it yet im afraid it might explode lol. Thinking of bringing this to a mountain hike
kaboom, anything with a low flash point don't use, anything like Naphtha or gasoline. use fuels like alcohol a because your food won't taste like the stove fuel you used and b its not likely to blow up in your face
Thanks for sharing! Common sense is hard to come by these days!! Its amazing to take things we take for granted on a daily bases and throw in the garbage. that are actually survival tools.
CAUTION!!! Choose your 1982 penny wisely....In mid-82 the penny metal composition changed. It went from 95% copper, and 5% zinc to 97.5% zinc, and 2.5% copper(copper-plated zinc). So not all 1982 pennies are created equal. If in doubt check the weight. Using a Gram scale, 95% copper pennies weigh 3.11 grams. The 97.5 Zinc pennies weigh 2.5 grams. If you have no way of checking the weight of the 1982 penny, be on the safe side, find your self a 1981 or older penny.
+mark miera If you get it wrong, with a Zinc Penny, and a temp of 786 deg.F, it could cost you BIG, like a Penny! I'm going to have to try a new penny myself, cause I live on the Wildside!
Thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel! I use a $5 Sterno stove base from Wal Mart. You can see it in my cooking video. Life is amazing! Have a beautiful evening... :-)
What is the purpose of the alcohol? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Geee wizzzz. Don't ya know? He even explained it in the video. It can be used as a fire source. Hello, hello anybody home? Think Mcfly, think!
So I followed the directions and I think the side with the holes should get the bends in it then push the side with holes down into the solid cup. Doing it this way prevents fuel from spilling out the bottom.
great video! would have way more views if you just named it fart stove. hahaha
SuperDOCK91 that's true! ha ha
Lol XD

I followed this tut using larger fosters cans. Worked supremely. Thanks so much for sharing!

Easiest penny can stove demo I've seen. I'll have to try it.
thank you
You do put on a good instructional video which is just fun to watch while not being boring.
thank you! have a great day!!
I must say! This method without the use of any cotton or fiberglass burns 10X better! Thanks for the upload!

good job just so you know to run a gas stove 15 minutes here is 2 dollars but with this stove for a dollar in alcohol you get 2 hours run time almost so i am not bored i am frugal and saving money
Bottled gas sellers are filthy thieves. Prices for a small gas cardridge are extremely expensive. Would prefer butane or propane if it wasn't that expensif.
Best way to Prime this Stove is from 'below' - just a little fuel dripped underneath, like you did at (18:20); If you try Preheating from the Centre as you did initially you might find (As I did) that A) Not enough heat is reaching the internal alcohol as it rests below the Priming Flame & B) Fumes escaping from the internal reservoir 'might' ignite around the Penny causing you to burn your internal fuel before it has a chance to Pressurize/Boil.
I rest my Penny Stove on a bit of Foil/Aluminum in which I drip a little fuel which works every time.
Great Video btw thank you; The crimping technique you used was a neat trick - one I will remember (I've seen people doing small cuts in the perimeter of the bottom can in order to get it to fit , but I would worry about that split travelling down at some point and causing a leak)
Thermal distorsion can certainly help getting those cuts down and cause a leak. Good thinking.
I’m planing on going on a camping trip up to my cabin and was wondering if this would be safe to use for heat in a enclosed area and would I be inhaling any toxins depending on what fuel I use
It needs ventelation like any fire. Thank you!
Thanks for such a well presented video, and a great stove.

Wow. What a nicely made video. I followed along and made my own adorable little stove. Now I'm taking it into the North Cascade Mountains in Washington State. I'll be thanking you when I'm cooking my breakfast!
+cathy townsend Thank you!
My stove was stolen and ended up in this video looking for something how i can make fire temporarily for me to cook rice hahaha. Im serious about my stolen stove btw
+Allan Bartolome Dang! That's a bummer. Thank you for stopping by!
+jiujitsu2000 hey man! it really works! I have bottles of lighter fuel at home. Will it also work the same? Havent tried it yet im afraid it might explode lol. Thinking of bringing this to a mountain hike
How do you even steal a stove
Now you see, now you don’t! Oh ohh my stove got stolen…or it grew legs and walked off on it own 😂😂😂
being retired i am always looking for small projects to keep me occupyd ,so thanks for aan hour or so messing about in my shed.
what if we try with gasoline instead of alcohol
Don't try. Air and gasoline may cause explosion, may be sooty too.

kaboom, anything with a low flash point don't use, anything like Naphtha or gasoline. use fuels like alcohol a because your food won't taste like the stove fuel you used and b its not likely to blow up in your face
Thanks for sharing! Common sense is hard to come by these days!! Its amazing to take things we take for granted on a daily bases and throw in the garbage. that are actually survival tools.

Brilliant video thanks for sharing mate
Thank you!!!
CAUTION!!!
Choose your 1982 penny wisely....In mid-82 the penny metal composition changed. It went from 95% copper, and 5% zinc to 97.5% zinc, and 2.5% copper(copper-plated zinc). So not all 1982 pennies are created equal. If in doubt check the weight. Using a Gram scale, 95% copper pennies weigh 3.11 grams. The 97.5 Zinc pennies weigh 2.5 grams. If you have no way of checking the weight of the 1982 penny, be on the safe side, find your self a 1981 or older penny.
Lol
+mark miera
Is that a penny ante concept ?
Who says " Pennies dont add up, or money makes the world go 'round"? L.O.L.
+mark miera If you get it wrong, with a Zinc Penny, and a temp of 786 deg.F, it could cost you BIG, like a Penny! I'm going to have to try a new penny myself, cause I live on the Wildside!
best description for this type of stove on youtube .. thumbs up
thank you!!
what about two tuna fish cans?
lmao
great video. Thanks for sharing. Question do you have to use a pot holder on this stove or just put small pot for boiling water right on top?
Thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel! I use a $5 Sterno stove base from Wal Mart. You can see it in my cooking video. Life is amazing! Have a beautiful evening... :-)
You used HEET, but what is the purpose of the alcohol ?
I think Itz either or
to drink hahahaha
What is the purpose of the alcohol? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Geee wizzzz. Don't ya know? He even explained it in the video. It can be used as a fire source. Hello, hello anybody home? Think Mcfly, think!
hahahahahaha
NurdWarrior_RBLX -victim lol
So I followed the directions and I think the side with the holes should get the bends in it then push the side with holes down into the solid cup. Doing it this way prevents fuel from spilling out the bottom.
like si vienes por un poco de todo
I enjoy watching your penny can video and I’m going to make one myself
nice. put a hotdog on a fork and cook it
Richard Samaniego Over methylated spirit fumes?

Nice vid, dude...but you really need to make use of editing. No reason your video should be this long.

+Joshua Boyd I know right? We didn't need to see all 16 holes being punched. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
+MrTdw1954 thank you for the feedback!
I've seen several of these but this is the best video on the soda can stove.
