This reminds me of the Hobo Stoves we made in out of Coffee cans in the Boyscouts. The coffee can is large and bulking, but strong enough to support a skillet. I like the Tuna Can better being compact. Great video.
DANGER! WARNING! Yes, you mentioned at 3:34 "You do not want to knock it over, because where the liquid fuel goes, the fire will follow". With one of these tuna can stoves, I made this mistake and accidentally bumped it and did just that. I had an instant fire about 3 feet or 1 meter wide! The fire was quickly put out, but things could have been worst if perhaps I was indoors or around flammables. Not to say you shouldn't use this stove, but be aware of this and use outdoors. Be safe!
Know you made this video ages ago but still want to say thank you. A damn sight easier than all the fussing over a soda/beer can gizmo that really doesn't work very well anyway. The slightest breeze kills the flame. Was able to put your style of stove out and save fuel by covering with the inverted empty water pot. Hope to see future videos.
Great video. I just tried my own version of it using Everclear (75%) and a can of water chestnuts (not as wide as tuna can). Took a lot of testing, but eventually found I could boil 1 cup of water in 2.5 minutes using 1/8 cup of the Everclear. The can only weighs 1.15 ounces and the 375 mL bottle of Everclear weighs 11 oz. So the whole kit weighs a little more than 12 oz! Thanks for the video!!
You make it look so easy. I tried it with a hole punch and could only punch one hole before the hole punch gave out. Then I tried it with a mini craft drill, and it wouldn't work. So then I tried it with my Dad's mega drill, which takes me two hands to hold in place, it's so big and heavy, and that works, except I squashed the can by twisting the vice grips the wrong way, lol. Now I'm waiting for Dad to do it for me :-).
Just a tip, a metal drinking cup, slightly larger can, small pot... Turn upside down over the lit stove and it will snuff shortly and you don't have to burn all your fuel. Good video and we'll presented. (And nice presenter. ;) )
Great explanatory video about alky stoves and how to make one. One thing to improve the stability of the canister stoves is to add teh 1/2 ounce of weight of a canister stand. Jetboil, MSR, Fire Maple, Optimus, and a bunch of no-names-on-Ebay make the tripos style that fold up for storage and attach to the bottom of the canister for stability. I've got 2 or 3 and they work really well.
Very true.. the yellow heat is cleaner. However in my testing Regular Debatured or the Green also burn clean and burn a bit better. Just a lil helpful tip.
That is true. Denatured alcohol and "Green" alcohol have an element of ethyl alcohol (anywhere from 15-80%), which has a higher BTU rating than the methyl alcohol in yellow HEET or the isopropyl alcohol in red HEET. So they will burn hotter than those fuels.
If you smother the "can stove" by flipping that pot over on it, you could reclaim the excess fuel, then burn off any residual still in the can, for a clean / safe transport...
As I move away from study of sleep gear for nearly the last decade or so, I would like to get more into cooking & food. Hopefully someday I can hit some of Dixie's trails: she has been a great guide through the years...much appreciated Shug, Sintax 77, The Outdoor Gear Review...they are still going too. I saw Darwin announced his retirement from TH-cam though...very thankful to all of these creators of the early 21st Century!
I might give it a shot. My arizona can stove blow up on first one I tried the second flamed out of the center hole for about 20 seconds and went out. This looks much easier
Any alcohol stove benefits from a wind screen, often made of heavy aluminum foil, like a disposable turkey roasting pan. Also, to compare stoves, you must compare total weights of stove, fuel container, and a standard time's worth of fuel.
Isopropyl 91 is like a dollar a quart and burns 12k BTUs per pound . You can use green sticks or rocks as a pot stand , if you can get a handful of fiberglass insulation pack 2 inches in the can and your fuel won't slosh out if it's bumped. . Lowers fire risk having a dog clean the can is the approved method . Nice video
It's cool to make an alcohol stove out of a can. Some have suggested using cans as cooking pots. All cans, including aluminum, are coated inside with plastic, BPA plastic. This is not something to ingest. When 'burning-in' an alcohol or twigs stove avoid the initial fumes.
I like this video. you have a simple, natural way of explaining and demonstrating which is very effective. a natural teacher. And I also, am interested in dehydrated meals and more healthy food on the trail. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I made the switch to diy alcohol stoves a coupla years ago and I can't imagine going back. this type, the low pressure sideburner w/the stove also serving as the potstand is my favorite type of design. I've come to the view that alcohol stoves are best thought of as systems: with the stove, cookpot and windscreen designed and sized to complement each other. your AT videos are great.
I've compared yellow heat to denatured alcohol and found that denatured alcohol gave a longer burn. I don't know why but just an observation. More dehydrated meal menus definitely.
True, yellow HEET is methanol and both liquid and VAPOUR are very toxic compared with denatured alcohol, which is mostly ethanol Once totally combusted though, methanol FUMES are no more toxic than ethanol fumes. In fact, as it has a higher hydrogen to carbon ratio, more of the fumes are H2O rather than CO2, or CO (carbon monoxide) Ethanol burns at a higher temperature than methanol, and is a larger molecule, so there is more to burn
When I was in scouts we made something, only we used rolled up cardboard then poured wax over it in the tuna can then we used a lg coffee can with holes in it and we cooked hamburgers on it, I have the rocket stoves as well and was thinking of using the coffee can with both ends cut out after making some holes in it to hold the pot may be able to push into ground or surround with rocks
I suggest at least examining the Mini Trangia alcohol stove. With it ,you can adjust the flame and also keep unused fuel. It has a cap with an o- ring for saving unused fuel. Although you can take just the burner with you, it comes with a dandy little pot and a lid that can double as a skillet. I just love mine. It is a stove that lends itself to more than just boiling water. You can really cook creatively with it.
DIY can stoves is made for work with alcohol. Generally they take up to 2 oz ~60 ml of fuel, what allow burn for ~20 minutes. 1 oz is more than sufficient for boil 2 cups of water, the typical need of super-light hiker, for reidrate food, make hot beverage. They are not adequate for conventional cook* (your 1 hour autonomy), neither cook with alcohol represent economical advantage over traditional methods of propane, electricity. * But can cook paste, small rice portion, fry eggs, sausage, steak.
Same concept but look up Hobo Stove or Buddy Burner Stove. Reusable. No alcohol needed. Save the lid of the can to extinguish the fire. Use old candles of paraffin. Very simple.
This video may be old but I just wanted to say over the years I've seen similar stuff like this but they was never used as an alcohol stove. To risky, dangerous, and a hazard if not careful with them. The ones I saw people used esbit stove tablets, homemade fuel tablets, and mini buddy burners in them.
Great on making the stove from a tuna can. I'm totally shocked that the paper hole punch can punch though the can. Did you really sit on the rock's edge? Yikes!
my oldtimer showed me how do a candelwax . its alsome .your fuel turns solid no mess . you just rol cardbord leave about eighth of a inch sticking up. looks just like a burner on a kitchen stove. works great in wind too.
Rather than pouring the fuel into the can, would you be able to pack some cotton balls and soak them in fuel and light them instead? Seems like it would help control the flame a little better that way.
Yellow can HEET. Dump the red can. Next, Denatured Alcohol. The absolute best (after gallons of testing) "Methanol Racing Fuel". Hotter, cleaner, cheaper. But you must find a speed shop. And the only sell it in 5 gallon cans or 55 gallon drums. I prefer the 5 gallon cans. When you break it down oz for oz, it is the best price. I also reload my canister cans with butane. Adapter cost was high but use of the canisters made things Ok
I have a beer can alcohol stove that a friend made me & that's all we've used. It's great. Very light & boils pretty well to, though not as fast as my dads jet boil! Do you have any idea how long it takes to boil say 2 cups of water? I enjoyed your video! I had no idea it was so easy to make that stove! Thanks!
Hi, was thinking of making the switch to alcohol. Where do you stow the stove? I know denatured alcohol is poisonous so I would be a bit leary about stowing it in the pot. Also, I saw someone on youtube make a "simmer ring" out of a soda can which he used for dry baking giant muffins. Looked pretty cool. Have you ever seen that done in the field? Thanks :)
Gotta love DIY/MYOG stuff! I think the Trangia burner is the best, as its got that simmer ring to control the heat - but i made my own 79g/2,8oz stand/windscreen (31% less weight than the "Trangia triangle") for it, by drilling a bunch of holes (for airflow and lower weight) in a thin aluminum pot from an old cheap cookset. This makes a *perfectly snug* fit around the 0,9liter Trangia kettle (i dont want to change it for titanium pots), so it takes almost no extra space in the backpack than the kettle itself. To support the kettle, i place a couple of V-shaped tentpegs on top of the windscreen/stand.
Not the dreaded, sooty red Heet ! I always use non-toxic Everclear (grain alcohol). Yep, it's more pricey than Heet ( methyl ) or denatured (toxicized ethanol) or rubbing alcohol (isopropl... with water added).... But pure grain burns ultra clean, no toxic additives, and a half shot in my cup of lemonade mix at the end of the day chases away bad dreams, fear of bears,weather concerns, and can be applied without poisoning oneself to scratches, itchy feet, ...numbs toothache, ... an all around topical antiseptic.... worth the cost... and the weight of a more generous bottle.. it's the Miracle Alcohol in my book !
You bought the wrong fuel . . . see the yellow flame? You need to buy Heet in the yellow bottle and you'll have a much more efficient burn with a blue flame.
I used a large can. There are supply drop options made available by the local hostels, though. So, you could carry half of what you need and a small fuel can and then get a drop in the middle of the 100 mile wilderness.
Hi Dixie, New to your site, very good vids. Can you do a review on the rocket stove verses some of those potable wood stoves. Although bulky the Kelly Kettle looks to be the best. Thanks.
It's very interesting workshop! One question, are they made of steel, or aluminium? It looks like to me steel cans. question from Japan. There is no such a large size canned food in Japan except Costoco.
Hey, good comparison video. Cheap lightweight option. When you saw these on the AT, did anyone using them say anything about how they liked using them, pro or con? Thanks!
@@HomemadeWanderlust Thanks, figured it was something like that. At this point I've watched hours and hours of your videos and I'm itching to get geared up and try my first backpacking trip! Thanks for all the outstanding content!
HEET in the YELLOW bottle burns much cleaner! Thanks for a good video!

Doggies got an excellent treat: nice can stove. Beautiful.
That was good singing: The Doors!

With alcohol based fuel, you can put out an accidental fire with water. Alcohol mixes with water, unlike gasoline.
I like how she gave the contents to the dogs. Its funny.

Here we are in 2021 with uncertain times, I've been searching all kinds of stoves and this is quick and easy! Thank You Sweetheart! 🤟😎

Yeah, but Everclear is super expensive compared to plain old denatured alcohol.
Some poor drunk is crying because you burned his Everclear.
You make it look so easy. I tried it with a hole punch and could only punch one hole before the hole punch gave out. Then I tried it with a mini craft drill, and it wouldn't work.

Now I'm waiting for Dad to do it for me :-).
Not trying to be a know it all but, if you would use Heet in the yellow container your burn would be much nicer and no smoke.
Thanks!
At least we've seen 1st hand why you're not supposed to use the red. Looks like a little camp fire lol
I use heet in the yellow
I was gona point it out.
Just a tip, a metal drinking cup, slightly larger can, small pot... Turn upside down over the lit stove and it will snuff shortly and you don't have to burn all your fuel. Good video and we'll presented. (And nice presenter. ;) )
I just made mine yesterday and made my first coffee on it last night (of a chili pepper can)

So they will burn hotter than those fuels.
I like the simplicity of the tuna can stove.
Cool picture at the end.
If you smother the "can stove" by flipping that pot over on it, you could reclaim the excess fuel, then burn off any residual still in the can, for a clean / safe transport...

These videos are highly informative and much needed. Keep up the good work! Love this!
Nice to see Red Heet in Action. Yellow is what everyone recommends for less soot. Still, nice to see that other type in action.
@@numbereightyseven
Burns much cleaner.. no soot !
Yellow Heet works better, and burns cleaner than the red Heet.
I agree. Wally world has the best price.
I got the yellow heet how do u put it out do u use water to
+Sara diamond You can deprive it off oxygen. Cover it with your cup or pot. Don't blow it out.
+Roaming Gnome OK thanks so much cuz I'm only 17 and I really didn't now I just got the heet yesterday thanks for answering back so fast

Dixie has a dog named Hank. Awesome!
I second the yellow bottles, much less soot. I buy the Dollar Tree version, can't beat fuel for a buck.
Haha, yes! He's the best. Thanks for the yellow vs. red input!

Great Tip. Hope you are enjoying the CDT. Post some of that soon Dixie.
most the cat stoves are made with the 3oz size can. this is interesting. yellow heat is good, though you paid to much.
I might be wrong but someone told me to only use the heat in the yellow bottle
I've compared yellow heat to denatured alcohol and found that denatured alcohol gave a longer burn. I don't know why but just an observation.
More dehydrated meal menus definitely.
Don't use that HEET in the yellow bottle--it's very toxic, fumes and liquid.
Roaming Gnome denatured alcohol is more refined, that's why its almost invisible and so much hotter
True, yellow HEET is methanol and both liquid and VAPOUR are very toxic compared with denatured alcohol, which is mostly ethanol
Once totally combusted though, methanol FUMES are no more toxic than ethanol fumes. In fact, as it has a higher hydrogen to carbon ratio, more of the fumes are H2O rather than CO2, or CO (carbon monoxide)

Thank you so much. I needed this. I made one that didn't work but now I know why. Good day :)
Use Heet in the yellow container for $1.60.
Using rocks and/or sticks to raise the pot over the flame you can control the heat to some extent.
Does this work the same using alcohol?
And whats the fuel efficiency, i mean how much alc is needed for a 1 hour burn for example?
DIY can stoves is made for work with alcohol. Generally they take up to 2 oz ~60 ml of fuel, what allow burn for ~20 minutes.
1 oz is more than sufficient for boil 2 cups of water, the typical need of super-light hiker, for reidrate food, make hot beverage.

* But can cook paste, small rice portion, fry eggs, sausage, steak.
Cool stove idea.. light & simple.
What about using pellets in this? Could you do that instead of fuel?
You need a different stove for pellets, look at DIY wood gas stove videos.
Looks more like a combination stove and campfire!
Same concept but look up Hobo Stove or Buddy Burner Stove. Reusable. No alcohol needed. Save the lid of the can to extinguish the fire. Use old candles of paraffin. Very simple.
Love the music on this.
Great and informative video, thank you so much for posting.....when will your book be out?
Should be next month. Going to announce a date, soon!
Also, try a cat food can. They are smaller and use less fuel and the flames will burn nicely through the holes. Great video!
Thank you! I appreciate the input :)

A P38 would save weight as a can opener. (P38 is the can opener that came with C-rations).
definitely check out the soda can type stoves or "penny stove" are very simple to make and self pressurize for a very tidy flame ring.
my oldtimer showed me how do a candelwax . its alsome .your fuel turns solid no mess . you just rol cardbord leave about eighth of a inch sticking up. looks just like a burner on a kitchen stove. works great in wind too.
Nice! Thanks for the input :)
Thanks for the diy stove idea, as always.
Absolutely! Thank you for watching.
Must use the yellow heat!!
Rather than pouring the fuel into the can, would you be able to pack some cotton balls and soak them in fuel and light them instead? Seems like it would help control the flame a little better that way.
And safer if knocked over with the cotton balls,,,no liquid fire run!
love the hole punch idea!
I love your content. A shotgun mic would really help the sound quality if you have a mic input on your camera.

You can control the flame with a piece of foil wrapped around the can to cover some of the air holes
Not the dreaded, sooty red Heet !

HOLY MOLY! I'm kinda scared of that paper punch!
little wind shield around that would really help miss:) Cheers nice vid
Yes, it would! Thanks :)
:) anytime:P
I love the music at the beginning of your video. Who's the band?
Great video. If you make the holes a little smaller, about 2 or 3 mm, you’ll get a neater flame 🏵rosette 😁👍🏻
You can also make it with a real tuna can, with tuna in it. th-cam.com/video/Qm07YvWwd2w/w-d-xo.html
Nice presentation.. thanks for sharing.
dose the can stove work with solid fuel as well?
Using a wind shield improves the burn make it from a folded piece of aluminum foil
Man took your advice and put the can and fuel on my dash close to the windshield, and torched my new mustang to the ground.
You bought the wrong fuel . . . see the yellow flame? You need to buy Heet in the yellow bottle and you'll have a much more efficient burn with a blue flame.
could you use this stove with diy waxed cotton pad fuel disks?
When u said "pocket rocket" my imagination went wild!😁
don't ask me same
Is breathing the fumes off the burning HEET toxic..?
That's a cool idea.
Need a link for the hole punch used. I can't find any that actually work.
Did you use the large fuel can when you were in the 100 miles of Maine where there was no resupplies or did the small can work?
I used a large can. There are supply drop options made available by the local hostels, though. So, you could carry half of what you need and a small fuel can and then get a drop in the middle of the 100 mile wilderness.
I'd prefer using solid fuel tablets (hexamine) rather than carrying liquid fuel. You can easily blow them out or smother them and use them again.
That was going to be my question.
Hi Dixie, New to your site, very good vids. Can you do a review on the rocket stove verses some of those potable wood stoves. Although bulky the Kelly Kettle looks to be the best. Thanks.
Dollar store has alcohol bottles for cheap. Yellow bottles don't smoke and blacken pots.
1. Cat food or tuna can emptied.
2. Strips of cardboard rolled into can.
3. Fill with hot wax.
My problem with the alcohol stove is the sticky residue that remains or drips into my cup during storage. How do you avoid this problem?
It's very interesting workshop! One question, are they made of steel, or aluminium? It looks like to me steel cans. question from Japan. There is no such a large size canned food in Japan except Costoco.
Look at Tetkoba's YT channel, his is from Japan.
What are your thoughts on the solo stove
Hey, good comparison video. Cheap lightweight option. When you saw these on the AT, did anyone using them say anything about how they liked using them, pro or con? Thanks!
I didn't see many of these on the trail, to be honest. I saw other alcohol stoves, but most people use the pocket rocket, jet boil or similar stove.
Great video.I just subscribed!
Cool idea
Everytime I lay my pot on my tin stove it smothers it, the flame will reach about a foot or 2 so I guess I've been adding too much kindling to it?
dlmad4561 is correct, use the YELLOW HEAT,
RED is dead.
Yellow is a friendly fellow. LOL
Love these things!
They are nifty!
Ótimo vídeo Parabéns 👍👍🇧🇷 ótimo Fogareiro aí Parabéns
How much fuel/heet should you bring with you for a long trip?
Can you substitute twigs/wood in this can method?
Thanks for the video
how do you usually deal with getting the pot off when it's hot from cooking?
jclovebrew A bandana. Or a wool sock lol.
@@HomemadeWanderlust Thanks, figured it was something like that. At this point I've watched hours and hours of your videos and I'm itching to get geared up and try my first backpacking trip! Thanks for all the outstanding content!
Did you see anyone using solid fuel stoves (UST wetfire or Coleman solid fuel for example)? And if so, how did they like them?
Hey there! I didn't see anyone using those, but that doesn't mean they didn't.
2 very willing volunteers lol.
Wow, and I just bought an EVERNEW TI Stove DX Set.
just just don't screw up and use scented candle wax like I did LOL
Bet that tasted lovely.
lmao
You can also make it with a real tuna can, with tuna in it. th-cam.com/video/Qm07YvWwd2w/w-d-xo.html
What about a big soup can that is wide and taller?
