Have that exact build, and you can start charcoal with using news paper real easy. Wood pellets burn very nice, but I have only tried starting it with lighter fluid.
@@mitwild if you want you can load your stove with the large fuel chunks in the bottom and start it with kindling on top of the fuel load let it burn down as a single undisturbed burn don't add any other fuel as it burns. Used this way you will have a single can TLUD stove (Top Lit Up Draft stove). All the smoke your stove makes on start up could be burned as fuel when you load the stove as suggested and lite it on the top of the fuel load. Used as a TLUD your stove will burn hotter cleaner and longer on any given size load. You can improve your burn by reducing the number of primary air inlet holes (the ones on the bottom of the can). A good range of Primary to Secondary (the ones at the bottom of the can are the Primary and the ones at the top of the can are the secondary) holes is P:S 1: - 4 up to 1:5. Give this a try. As shown your stove is generating more smoke as a result of all the primary holes than you have available secondary air to burn and so smoke escapes your stove but you can adjust the stove so it can burn all that lost smoke (fuel). As used your stove is more like a simple Hobo stove. I hope this is of interest.
@@mitwild here is a design for a very good stove which I use as a reference for my own stove builds. Build one and see what you think. Remember you may need to make fine tuning adjustments for where you are at or above sea level. The Ranger stove was designed for an altitude range of 4000 to 6000 feet above sea level. th-cam.com/video/qMTUfNoJPws/w-d-xo.html
Certainly! You could use it many more times then that! I would actually suggest doing a test burn first before actually cooking with it in case there is a plastic lining inside the can. One good burn should get rid of it!

These little can wood stoves really come in handy, practical efficient and don´t take up a lot of space.
Awesome video my buddy, keep them coming, great ideas for us to try...

Very nice! It has been a very useful tool while camping!

like that tripod 👍
Thanks! Used 1/8" GTAW welding rod for the legs and steel tubing to hold it together!
After that burn do you think that can could be reused for another 5-6 more times cause of that hot heat?

@@mitwild Thanks for sharing 👍
