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.
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.
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 👍
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.

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.
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!
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
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 .
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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.
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!
Here's another great project for your outdoor adventures! Thanks for watching and please leave me a comment in the section below!
Lol amazing .that would work. Dang jim ypu need to write a book
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?
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.
Thanks so much!
Well said!
The guy is my alter ego..j love hus stuff ❤️
Yeah I can see that flimsy wind guard being blown away 🤣😆🖕
The Altoids tin slots are a great addition!
Thanks!
Right?! Better stability, almost locks it in place!
I love this compact but yet efficient pocket stove!
Thanks so much!
