This is pure genius. I didn't like the stand not having a stable base. But turning the tin into the base really makes sense. I'm totally blown away by you taking common items and making useful gear. You are spiritually blessed. Thank you James.
very nice. I really like your informative videos. I just went thru hurricane ian and got hit pretty hard. no power for 3 days. other people complained about no way to cook or make coffee. appears their propane didn't work either. I got out my Sterno/grill combo and made breakfast. they laughed and walked away. by noon they came back and ask to borrow mine. I did. I then got out my twig stove and have been cooking well ever since. power came back on this am. I really enjoyed my little SHTF scenario. kind of sorry to see it go. but with 9 trees down and the loss of 3 outbuildings @ 70+ yrs of age. it's time to run away from the farm. taking the Yorkie and miniature pet goat with me. THANKS FOR ALL YOU TEACH US. IT IS VERY ENJOYABLE LEARNING. THIS LAST WEEK, THOSE SKILLS I HAVE LEARNED THRU YOU AND PRACTICED BECAME USEFUL IN THIS UNEXPECTED CRISIS. WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR THE UNSEEN CHALLENGES. I WAS PRETTY COMFORTABLE AND ATE WELL. MAYBE A LITTLE BORED. I MISSED MY WAYPOINT SURVIVAL AND PAUL BEGLEY VIDEOS UPDATES. WE ARE ALL GETTING TOO SPOILED OVER THESE COMPUTERS AND EASY WORLD ACCESS. TIME TO CUT THE UMBILICAL CORD. EXCEPT FOR WAYPOINT AND BEGLEY. i MUST TAPER OFF SLOWLY. BE PREPARED.....SEMPER FI....
That's great for a situation where a person wants to be incognito or just doesn't have time to build a fire for cooking. I need to put one together for my get home bag. Great video as always. See you next week 👍
Sir have I mentioned your a Genius! Humble as well! :) you took an idea from a viewer and perfected it! Many others may not have given the credit! In closing, superb video. Please keep em comin!
As I get older, I find it hard to do the smaller projects. I think this will probably be the upper limit of my agility. The slots in the Altoids can. In my humble opinion. Absolutely made this one.
James, may I say "wickedly cool" on this project. We have three favourite backups for when an open fire pit is not allowed or inadvisable. One of those backups is folding Esbit-style pocket stoves. They can be true multi-fuel stoves. We have used solid alcohol cubes, bulk gel chaffing dish fuel from a restaurant supply shop, several homemade fuel cubes and assorted liquid alcohol spirit burners, all with great results. People have used these stoves with small twigs and wood scraps, scavenged for free. We are always on the lookout for small burners that will improve the efficiency of our pocket stove cooking. Thank you for posting man. God bless you. We are watching from our retirement hideout on Luzon island in the Republic of the Philippine Islands.
Well a nother sweet hack keep them coming out there very informative and useful you always come up with the best hacks of stuff you have a blessed day my friend God bless
I like it ! It is good to know these techniques/hacks. Pots and pans, Esbit stoves, etc do not last forever Making new stuff out of found stuff is a good skill to have!
Next video: Jumbo Stove! [Really Works!] How to turn the remaining tin container without the spout and screw cap into a rocket stove that will cook your steak while your micro stove boils your coffee! Well done there James. Your projects are a help to many with their mental health. May you continue to be blessed to be a blessing to many!
For those looking for aluminum for the ring insert, and want something thicker than a soda can, I'd reccomend trying a wet petfood can, or a sardines can since these have a high likelihood of being made of aluminum. Some of these may have a BPA liner inside, which you may want to burn off safely outdoors before making your stove. If you have canned food and are uncertain if the can is made of aluminum, just use a magnet to see if it sticks or not, if it doesn't stick then it is aluminum. I believe some brands of vienna sausage also come in an aluminum can.
depends on the sardine can, some are steel. moist kitten food can sounds like a good idea for an alcohol stove, small, light, easy to take with, and might fit the stand used in this video. probably take 2 of those kitten food cans and some cotton or fiber fill to hold the alcohol. might also make for a neat/cool video.
Completely unnecessary. Alcohol is a SUPER CLEAN burning fuel. I have an ultimate stove (which I designed) made from bottoms if cans the size of 8.4 ounce Red Bull cans. I have an ultimate stove which has 700 burns on it. My only consern about this project is the amount of fuel it can hold
@@angusmacgyver3673 Like I said, using a magnet is the best way to determine if the can is aluminum or not, though I don't think I've ever found a sardine can that was made of steel.
I saved a couple of these empty cans recently due to some of your previous videos, not convinced I was going to go that route. This is definitely a must do for me. Thanks for the steady stream of DIY content.
Talk about a micro stove! Man that thing is little bitty ain't it I guess it's a pretty light too so it really won't put a lot of weight in your pack and it would be great for emergency situations. What an excellent tool for the toolbox, that was pretty clever James thank you so much for showing that. That would also make a nice little project for children that may be getting into Woodcraft. I wonder if you would call that little burner firecraft there's a question for you. Thanks for the video James that was pretty clever. Stay vigilant and keep ye powder dry
Definitely neat idea for small mini survival kit. I never built a alcohol stove l but have in pass turn soup can into wood cooker stove. Definitely neat idea. I personally would never thought of that. Definitely enjoy your talk at rock lake camp .
That's a great diy stove that's free and easy to make. There will be thousands going out to their garages tonight to make one. Rubbing alcohol works okay for the price. Bet it would boil two cups of water with one fill.
Thanks James the microstover is very useful for cooking eggs or coffe , and is easy , cheap en very funny , thanks for sheare your skills so long be fine
Great project. You mentioned about using a torch to melt the solder. If this is a container that held flammable liquids like acetone or whatnot, please remember to take precautions for the vapors igniting... I'd suggest the placing it in a fire method with the lid off if this is the case.
I need one of those! I only use micro stoves/ burners for my needs that are efficient, effective & reliable and this looks like an addition that I’ll have to “copy” to use. Now to your other video for the “new folding H stove” I like not having to buy pot stands that are getting expensive ( 1- titanium esbit, 1- titanium & 1- SS cross stand ) for my different burners…Thanks!
Excellent idea. 👍🏼 I've seen a similarly sized stove made out of an aluminum/steel aerosol spray can. The main difference being no need for the aluminum tape.
👍👍👍 .. another cool project .. thanks. Problem is that I have just run out of space for another 'project stove / whatever' so I'll just enjoy watching this one. Living in a 3rd floor one-bedroom flat (apartment in USA-speak) has it's challenges 🙄. Adding to that, 'gear and stuff' dating back to the late 60's (I don't like throwing away stuff that still does the job) and then one can begin to understand .. 😏. Speaking of home-grown alcohol stoves, besides the 'Fancee Feast', the best and most-used little Burners I have are made from 200ml Aluminium Energy Drink Cans. 1. One Can only (salvaged from a refuse bag at a local riverside recreation park) and some Ceramic / Glass Wool / Fibre Glass (building sites are a good source thereof). 2. Punch some additional holes in the top around the edge opposite the drinking slot. Cut off the top and bottom (at a suitable height .. trial and error will show how much you will need) and remove the rest of the tab fom inside the top. 3. Fill the top with the Glass Wool / Whatever. Carefully (and slowly to prevent tearing .. slightly 'fluting' the Top Section helps) press the Top Bit into the Bottom Bit. 4. Done! A little folding Tripod made from 2mm SS Bicycle Spokes and Aluminium Ferrules (Barbecue Skewers work too and are often cheaper) completes the setup. Once again, another nice little little project .. thanks for sharing. Take care ..
My goodness James, this just keeps getting better and better! I'd love to find a tin can! EVERYTHING is plastic these days.. even the fuel container the kerosene I bought for my lanterns & stove came in plastic.
You can usually get a one-gallon can of denatured alcohol in a hardware store in the metal can. Then use it as your fuel. Nice design, I'm going to try this. I love making little stoves for some reason, lol.
@@WayPointSurvival Hey, I need to redo my wood decking anyway! I never thought of Walmart. I usually get it in a plastic 5 gallon bucket at Home Depot! Thanks!
Pretty slick project. I'm a big fan of alcohol stoves. I use a knockoff Trangia stove when I motorcycle camp. You're project is very reminiscent of the famous pop (beer) can alcohol stove, but more compact. Could see how this stove setup would be great for backpacking. Kinda thinking about doing one just for fun. I think I've got everything but the can already kicking around the garage. Pretty sure I can score a can from work when we run out of WD-40 again. Thanks for the good ideas.
I like it. I will.copy that be I buy the burner and just make the stand and pit it in a tin. I got a bottle already. It's a old lunch box tin. With tin bottle so it make a good cooker set for hiking fishing. I love this idea mate its a good one
I love it! It looks easier than my soda can stoves. They want to rip when I marry the tops and bottoms, no matter how carefully I cut and fold the tabs out of the way.
Would you consider making a comparison video: fuel tabs versus alcohol? Which is best for lightweight, minimalist camping? Measuring cost, weight, volume, efficiency, effectiveness... Thanks again for sharing all your inspired creativity. Thanks also for setting an example of praying before meals and giving credit where credit is due (when passing along other people’s ideas...). God bless!
We have tested many assorted fuels and burners in Esbit-style folding pocket stoves. A little research shows that high purity ethanol has the most energy per volume/weight of all alcohol fuels. In the Philippines, we were able to obtain ethanol at approximately 95% purity from a young lady selling ingredients for manufacturing cosmetics. In our folding stoves, with assorted burners, this fuel outperformed all other fuels in boil tests. That makes sense because high purity methanol is listed with less energy/pound than ethanol. None of the fuel alcohols, fuel cubes or gel alcohol were as fast as the high-purity liquid alcohols. This also makes sense, the gel fuels and solid cubes have other components in the formula that make the product into a gel or a solid cube. You will see the residue left after the burn on the bottom of your stove. Yes, you can use 70% alcohol/30% water drugstore alcohol in an emergency but it will not produce the same heat as the high purity alcohols. For backpackers wanting to use a spirit burner, the high purity ethanol offers the best performance at the least weight and volume to pack and carry. Hexamine is far superior to solid alcohol cubes and the gel we purchase in bulk for practice with our young troops. Hexamine will store well for long periods but it is super expensive in the Philippines due to shipping and import taxes. We stick with the inexpensive bulk gel fuel for practice with the kids and 95% ethanol for all other purposes. Forget about the laboratory grade near 100% pure ethanol unless you have a budget comparable to NASA. BTW, we use the bulk gel chaffing dish fuel for practice with the kids because it will not spread if a stove is knocked over. Remember that you can not see alcohol burning out in the daylight. Spilled liquid alcohol will rapidly spread but you can not see the flame in daylight conditions. Hope this helps
@@bryceherrmann1141 I have read there is a product called "EVERCLEAR" that is high-grade drinking alcohol. I believe it is often used for spiking the punch bowl. Other commenters have mentioned dry gas, which I would think is mostly available in colder areas of the USA. You could try industrial supply houses and chemical suppliers. We used to purchase alcohol and castor oil in small drums to manufacture our own fuel for model airplane engines. We were also able to purchase either at decent prices from these sources. I have purchased smaller bottles of alcohol at paint stores in the Philippines I am sure you could do that in the US because the alcohol is used to thin shellac. Remember that denatured alcohol will work but ethanol has a bit more energy. Use what you can find until you get the exact product that you desire.

Yeah James write a book on these hacks and gadgets. I would buy it and I think other would too.
@@briansherrillruralliving9708 I'd buy it! Can I pre order? :) :)
A book with your top 100 hacks!
Can you fit the stove and the vanilla bottle in the altoid tin at the same time?

Speaking of home-grown alcohol stoves, besides the 'Fancee Feast', the best and most-used little Burners I have are made from 200ml Aluminium Energy Drink Cans.
1. One Can only (salvaged from a refuse bag at a local riverside recreation park) and some Ceramic / Glass Wool / Fibre Glass (building sites are a good source thereof).
2. Punch some additional holes in the top around the edge opposite the drinking slot.
Cut off the top and bottom (at a suitable height .. trial and error will show how much you will need) and remove the rest of the tab fom inside the top.
3. Fill the top with the Glass Wool / Whatever. Carefully (and slowly to prevent tearing .. slightly 'fluting' the Top Section helps) press the Top Bit into the Bottom Bit.
4. Done!
A little folding Tripod made from 2mm SS Bicycle Spokes and Aluminium Ferrules (Barbecue Skewers work too and are often cheaper) completes the setup.

This also makes sense, the gel fuels and solid cubes have other components in the formula that make the product into a gel or a solid cube. You will see the residue left after the burn on the bottom of your stove. Yes, you can use 70% alcohol/30% water drugstore alcohol in an emergency but it will not produce the same heat as the high purity alcohols. For backpackers wanting to use a spirit burner, the high purity ethanol offers the best performance at the least weight and volume to pack and carry. Hexamine is far superior to solid alcohol cubes and the gel we purchase in bulk for practice with our young troops. Hexamine will store well for long periods but it is super expensive in the Philippines due to shipping and import taxes. We stick with the inexpensive bulk gel fuel for practice with the kids and 95% ethanol for all other purposes. Forget about the laboratory grade near 100% pure ethanol unless you have a budget comparable to NASA. BTW, we use the bulk gel chaffing dish fuel for practice with the kids because it will not spread if a stove is knocked over. Remember that you can not see alcohol burning out in the daylight. Spilled liquid alcohol will rapidly spread but you can not see the flame in daylight conditions. Hope this helps
@@NewHampshireJack Thanks! Does anyone know the cheapest way to get high purity ethanol in the US?
@@bryceherrmann1141 I have read there is a product called "EVERCLEAR" that is high-grade drinking alcohol. I believe it is often used for spiking the punch bowl. Other commenters have mentioned dry gas, which I would think is mostly available in colder areas of the USA. You could try industrial supply houses and chemical suppliers. We used to purchase alcohol and castor oil in small drums to manufacture our own fuel for model airplane engines. We were also able to purchase either at decent prices from these sources. I have purchased smaller bottles of alcohol at paint stores in the Philippines I am sure you could do that in the US because the alcohol is used to thin shellac. Remember that denatured alcohol will work but ethanol has a bit more energy. Use what you can find until you get the exact product that you desire.
Thanks James; this is a pretty cool do it yourself micro stove. This and a tin cup is "ULTRALITE"
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
