I highly recommend picking up a pop rivet gun, if you don't already have one. Aluminum and stainless rivets are readily available in several diameters and lengths and would simplify adding your hangers and pot rings. I'm really enjoying the videos. I can't wait to build something for our family camping.
For sure. I do have a pop-rivet tool. I use it often. For this project I was trying to keep it simple for people who don't have one. Thanks for commenting
Thank you for this little series. I'm in the process of making my own gear. You have explained this really well that even my basic skills can make this too 👍🙂👍
Watched the whole series and loved your step by step directions...just about fool proof. I too shop at Value Village for parts (I previously made a SS pot/bunt pan dry bake oven as in a Dutch Oven), and I might just try this project. My only caution woild be to use only stainless steel hardware, as the galvenized screws, nuts, etc. can give off toxic fumes when heated. Great video.
Once the plating burns/wears off from the fasteners, they will rust. The acids in some foods will also degrade the plating on screws, so 18-8 or 304 stainless fasteners would be the best choice. McMaster/Carr carries all the fasteners you will ever need. They also have stainless wire and aircraft cable. mcmaster.com
Hi ya Mark! I don’t know where u’ve been the past few months, but I sure am glad I found u, what ur showing I can afford compared to the price of the name brands, and that’s what a person is paying 4, is the name. Ur project r very affordable. Now I’ll be on the hunt for these things. U just don’t know how much I appreciate what ur showing! Thank u
Thank you my friend. I also love DIY bushcraft items. To me it is in keeping with making use of available resources, if not natural ones found in the woods. Also says you don't hvae to spend a lot of money to get out and enjoy nature
Thank you Richard. I see myself as an amateaur with an interest in saving money and doing things for myself. Thank you for your continued support. I am doing okay with only minor issues from the chemo
That turned out awesome! I also saw another guy post a video where he uses two stainless tent sticks to make a pot stand by poking them through the holes in the drainer.
Glad you found the video helpful. Tent stakes work great as long as the pot has a smaller diameter than the stove and can sit down inside. I have made a few new setups like this. I also started using conduit clamps for feet on the bottom. I will share that in a future video. Thanks for commenting
vielen dank für die ausführliche anleitung. ich habe alle drei teile gesehen und ich denke ich werde mir dieses kochset nachbauen. die verarbeitung ist sehr gut und alles hat seinen platz und seinen sinn thank you for the detailed instructions. i have seen all three parts and i think i will recreate this cooking set. the processing is very good and everything has its place and its purpose
Thanks for the video-I like the picture hanger for the lid,I've been racking my brain for a while on a solution for a re-purposed thrift store lid,WELL DONE SIR!!
Great video series. Now if I can just find a stainless steal canister that fits that IKEA utensils strainer. Keep up the good work. Had a great time watching.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I was fortunate to find the sugar canister the same day I picked up the Ikea utensil strainer. I wish I knew where to buy one that size. Thank you for commenting
Dayum Mark. Great idea!! With the picture hangers. Sorry but I am stealing this one for my own..Gotta rig up some of my cookware with those. Love it!!. Thanks for the video.
Great series. I find work gloves too clumsy sometimes, so when I'm going to be cutting bits of can or sheet metal I put some bandaids on pre-emptively, if you will. Most of the dexterity with less bleeding.
Glad you enjoyed. I tend to agree about gloves, although I have paid the price for not wearing them as well. I am still having issue with the chemo and the skin on my fingers..makes fine dexterity a bit of a challenge. Thanks for commenting
You can also bring your new sugar pot to a boil for a few minutes, then after that apply olive oil continuously in the interior of the pot to create a nonstick process. You won't have to worry about food sticking to the bottom of your pot. :)
Nice video series, I learned a lot and I'm going to keep my eye open at Valu Village, There is one right down the block from me. !! Thanks for the new ideas and how to...
Hey Dave. Finding the right size pot is the hard part. I did find another Ikea utensil holder with no holes in it that fits inside the strainer perfectly. Just need to add a lid.
Thank you William. I consider myself a rank amateaur when I see what some of the truly talented crafts people can turn out. Still very fun to make my own gear. Thanks for commenting
OK. Great construction of the cooking pot and parts. Now I need to find such container. I made the same 1/16" dia cable, and pinched S hooks on the loops. Pinch another S hook onto the cable. This detached cabling can carry the fire can from its holes as a single apache fire carrier, or have as a mobile fire-can (night light, mosquito citronella bugger light, inside tent warmer in a dakota fire pit). The bale cable can then be held by the S hook or from the cable (depending on how you hang the fire-can or the cooking pot over the camp fire (from a wooden tripod, or a cable trammel).
I got lucky on the pot finding it at Value Village, our local thrift store. I have since found that Ikea has another utensil holder that fits in the strainer like it was made for it. Only issue is that it does not have a lid. I found lids on eBay that will fit perfectly www.ebay.ca/itm/Dustproof-Anti-dust-Glass-Cup-Cover-Coffee-Mug-Suction-Seal-Lid-Cap-Tool/132537624843?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=431889742829&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
I subscribed for the IKEA vs videos. Loved this set up, as we already have an IKEA utensil drainer, and the sugar jar I can watch out for. I just thought with that much space in the 'billy can' you might add 2 tent pegs (for the height), a small bottle of Alcohol and a soda alcohol stove too. a lighter and/or a small ferro rod. ........and we have a folding vegetable steamer/strainer (I've seen a wood burner or solo BBQ idea with a PC Fan Guard) My wife is going to need something to replace them.. or me.. I hope it the kitchenware she gets a new one of !
Sounds like you are going to be in trouble for raiding the kitchen of utensils😅. Adding the tent pegs and alcohol stove is a great addition. Thanks for commenting
Hey Wayne. Glad you like the idea. First burn actually occurred in my video "Lake Side Lunch and a New Hobo Cook Kit" but I will have to do another one with the set soon. Thanks for commenting
Watched parts 1-3 Enjoyed every minute Of it . Thanks for your time to make these videos, well done 👍. I’m going to make this stove just like you did so I saved the videos.

Just a thought, back to the stove , can’t wait to make and use it . Something to do this winter. By from eastern Kentucky! Stay warm.
Hi Johnny. I am not certain what you are referring to. If it is the stainless steel skewers, I picked them up at Dollarama, a dollar store here in Canada. If that is not what you mean please let me know
It turned out great. The nice thing about DIY projects like this is that there are so many ways of making it and they are all great. Thanks for commenting
Great build, liked thorough explanation of steps. Would like to see how you make your cloth bags. I have made one that turned out pretty good but I am open to any suggestions that would make it better.
Glad you found the video helpful. I have two videos on my channel showing how to make different stuff sacks if you are interested. Thanks for commenting
Great homemade set! I may do take on this project one of these days. In the meantime, I currently have a Lixada stove with a Stanley adventure cookset all in a Condor H2O pouch. All together mine costs a good bit more than yours, so congrats on a great budget set up!
Nice video. I think the lid would have only needed one bolt in the picture frame. I need a center finder! When drilling a hole in the sides of the pot, I would use a small drill and then a larger one.
Great video(s) and a superb project. I will see if my kids are interested, but I love the Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox XL stove even though it is pricey...compared to thrift store purchases ( I also usually check out a few stores almost weekly). I am VERY interested to know where the circle template was purchased; to date I use a rafter square and a speed square for the 45o angle to mark lines @ right angles to give me the centre - it works but not as efficient as what you have there.
Great project for the kids. I have a new Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox LF on its way as part payment for some work I did. I am looking forward to trying it out. Here is a link to the center finder. Thanks for commenting www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=72277&cat=1,42936
When I make my pot I will try attaching the handle to the lid using JBWeld instead of screws. That may attract less food debris and make cleanup easier. Just a thought.
Enjoyed. Just had a thought that instead of nuts and bolts on this project pop rivets might be a cleaner look. Those pop rivet tools are not expensive.
An easy way to punch a hole while maintaining the curve of your canister would be to fill it with water and freeze it. Punch the holes then thaw the water = no dents.
Right on...Yes, still using the stove. I have at least a half dozen Ikea stoves so I tend to make them and give them away. I will be doing a series of videos comparing the Ikea stove to some well know production stoves so the one in the video will likely be used for that.Thanks for commenting
Another great cheap alternative. For the holes though, in the firebox, they are at 90deg, to each other, and offset, so the sticks will cross, and well as pointed upwards a bit, like holding a match. This was done so that you can actually get a little control over how hot the fire gets. You can use two small, or three or 4 very small twigs, and the smaller the hotter due mostly to surface area. Long story short, maybe you should have made them like that. Two smaller, offset holes. Also, you could use your skewers to hold an alcohol stove inside your stick stove, but may need a slight adjustment to a couple holes. I think this is an important feature in a stick stove, for use when dry fuel is impossible to find. And all the components could be put inside the set up. Really though, a brilliant idea for someone who doesn't have the cash. As much as I adore my firebox, this is tempting me to do just for the fun of it.
Great ideas Jim. I have a couple of extra Ikea utensil strainers I have been planing to set up similar to the Firebox with staggered feed holes. It will be different but remains to be seen if it will be better. Thanks for commenting.
Mark Young Well, I haven't played with making my own stove or anything, so I'm certainly not an expert, but I love my firebox, and has studied how it's designed, and why etc.....and I love it. 🙃🙂 Have you seen any of the videos from firebox? The guy is awesome. Goes out all the time trying shit with it. Great stuff to watch. Anyway, great videos. Thanks
@@jimf1964 Sure have. I watch Steve's videos all the time. I own and love both Firebox stoves. I consider them the best stick stoves on the market. Coincidently, I am planning a series of video comparing stoves. The two stoves I will compare first as I feel so strongly about both of them are the Ikea hobo stove and the Firebox.
Mark Young Someone already has, kinda. The steel fishing leader I came up with after watching this. th-cam.com/video/3KmFajqCgf8/w-d-xo.html But I like your picture hangers better than just holes.
Good question. To the best of my knowledge, as long as it is just stainless steel and does not have a coating of some type it should be safe to use. Some water bottle and food containers have a plastic coating on the inside. Hope this helps. Thanks for commenting
Just wondering...when All was said and done... including all the materials used, your time...needed tools and anything else that might be applicable ...what do you estimate the overall cost of making this is/was?
Good question. Material wise, maybe $10.00CAD for the items bought specifically for this project. Although some of those items were only partially used (aluminum bar, skewers, mounting hardware). I probably put 3 hours time into the project. Although it takes longer when recording. If I measured my time in terms of what I would charge as a consultant, it would be very expensive but in terms of using my free time to apply what little skill I have and enjoy the process..that was worth it. Tools I had but I tried to show some less expensive alternatives, including using the items just as they are...Hope this answers your question
Interesting... great ideas... & ambitious undertaking for me...I love to watch people build things but I have a feeling I’d botch this all up! Lol... In the long run it’d probably be better for me to buy something... I tried to do the ikea stove but having minimal tools I messed up cutting the hole... think I’ll stick to feather sticking and tying knots! lol... I so admire those who can do these .. I enjoyed watching... thanks!
Pop rivets are certainly and option. I did consider using rivets and some type of bracket that would hold a bail wire but opted for simplicity. Let me know if you try the rivets. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Have found rivets to work quite well. An anvil, which you already have, is needed to peen the rivets to the required tightness. Once the rivets are firmly in place, you need never be concerned about the nut & lock washer working loose and falling into your cook pot.... be well, stay strong, live long; your knowledge and innovation are remarkable...Cheers.
Still a great little kit. I have too many stoves now so this one does not get out all that often but I have another Ikea stove and pot kit I have been using for about seven years that still works great. Thanks for commenting
Glad you enjoyed the video. I was fortunate the day I found this one. I seem them once in a while but not often. Thank you for commenting and for subscribing to my channel
You absolutely could. I would think steel rivets would resist any heat better. I chose nuts and bolts as something more people may have access to. I recently started using 3/4" conduit clamps as swing out feet. The make for a more stable setup. Thanks for commenting
If you would like to send me an email with your address I can find out what shipping would be. My email address is under the "about" tab on my channel page
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Yes sir my email address is sidesjohn58@gmail.com and my mailing address is 210 Duckcircle Sarepta L. A. 71071. Thank you for responding so quickly 😊 I need to know how much in case I can't afford it because I am a Disabled Veteran and on a strict budget. I really like that stove set up of complete cook set👍
Mark, I was looking at my Ikea utensil holder. Have you ever thought of using the Ikea stove by laying it on it's side? Like a pot belly stove. Putting feet on what you choose as the bottom and cutting open the chosen top. Placing rods across the top as pot holders. I understand this would work better for car and cabin camping because the feet end up on the side and it would not fit in the stuff sack as well as when the feet are on the bottom. I considered this after seeing how precarious the stove is upright, with the weight of the pot on the top. I saw a video where the whole thing fell over. As a pot belly stove it would be more secure.
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I have some ideas but I think that someone like you who is further down the rabbit hole will be more inventive.My thinking is that if you can suspend a can from the top portion you may have a small oven or using your metal rods and a sheet of tin can you can create a cookie sheet. By covering the hole at the top with foil you could reflect some heat down. You would need to be working with coals at this stage not direct flame. You have spiked my imagination. Thanks. Nothing like a good day dream.
Hi Mark, I am assembling my kit, using your videos as a guide. And your information and instructions are very helpful. I have the taller version of the IKEA strainer, and was noticing that when the pot sitting on top of aluminum bars, the setup becomes a little unbalanced, at least for me and my shakey MS related hands. So, I was wondering if you have ever used your setup with either a Stanley pot or GSI cup? My idea was to ultimately lower the center of gravity. And since these pots are slimmer than the IKEA caddy diameter,they can be used by lowering them into the IKEA caddy and suspended by skewars or tent stakes put through the holes of the stove. Do you think that the air flow would be beneficial and sufficient using this method? Thanks again for the information and instructions on how to properly build the stove!
I am glad you are finding the videos useful. Couple of suggestions for your set up. Take a look at the two-video series I did on making simple stuff sacks. In the second video I make a sack for a Ikea hobo cook kit. I use metal conduit clamps as feet for that stove. They can swing out and create a wider more stable base. Also, the pot in that set sits down inside the stove. On testing I have found a pot that is smaller in diameter that the stove works very well as the heat and flames can move up the sides of the pot. A couple of tent stakes are all that are needed to support the pot at varying heights. Let me know how your set up works out for you
Mark Young I will go check out the videos that you have referenced‼️ And I will most definitely let you know how the project turns out. 😎 The conduit clamps as legs sounds like a great idea, as it should greatly mprove the stability. ➡️Thank you very much for your quick response👍🏻
Funny thing i beult my one stove. Well you use a somting to protect the earth . I use a rvs sigaret ass trade . Its litte bigger than the stove u use now. So the stove fit in it . This way air still can flowe and the heat is asway from the earth and ass i stay in thare .
@@MarkYoungBushcraft no problem. Together we go survival, hobo and not forget Scouts. We are here to help or just for fun to make stuff Nothing more fun to see something works what you make .
After all that work, why didn't you show how well it fit into the stove. You just passed by that whole part the only time we saw it with the stove was when it was in the bag. I just don't understand that.....

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for commenting
Nice video. I think the lid would have only needed one bolt in the picture frame. I need a center finder! When drilling a hole in the sides of the pot, I would use a small drill and then a larger one.
Right on. Lots of ways this could be made. Yes, the center finder is an amazing tool. Thanks for commenting
Very detailed 👍👍👍

Your awesome. Thanks for the knowledge friend.
Thank you again
That's a great idea
thanks Jim
Clever and well done.
Thank you Bruce. Turned out to be a great little piece of kit
You've turned me on to stainless steel skewers. I'm busy thinking of things to do with them. So, thanks for that!
Great video(s) and a superb project. I will see if my kids are interested, but I love the Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox XL stove even though it is pricey...compared to thrift store purchases ( I also usually check out a few stores almost weekly). I am VERY interested to know where the circle template was purchased; to date I use a rafter square and a speed square for the 45o angle to mark lines @ right angles to give me the centre - it works but not as efficient as what you have there.
Great project for the kids. I have a new Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox LF on its way as part payment for some work I did. I am looking forward to trying it out. Here is a link to the center finder. Thanks for commenting www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=72277&cat=1,42936
For thin strong cable you could use steel fishing leaders.
Good suggestion. Thanks for commenting
When I make my pot I will try attaching the handle to the lid using JBWeld instead of screws. That may attract less food debris and make cleanup easier. Just a thought.
Worth a try. If it doesn't work out, you could change it later. Thanks for commenting
Enjoyed. Just had a thought that instead of nuts and bolts on this project pop rivets might be a cleaner look. Those pop rivet tools are not expensive.
Glad you enjoyed. I agree pop rivets would work well. I have seen others use them very effectively. Thanks for commenting
Be sure and get stainless steel pop rivets.
Pop rivets would probably be cheaper as well, assuming of course that one already had the tool.
An easy way to punch a hole while maintaining the curve of your canister would be to fill it with water and freeze it. Punch the holes then thaw the water = no dents.
Interesting idea. I may try that on my next project. Thanks for sharing
Get an automatic centre punch. They're cheap at Princess Auto. Helps by not needing a third hand.
Another method, clamp a piece of metal pipe into a vice and use that as an anvilhorn.
Another useful tool for the shop is sandbags, two on either side of the cylinder and one inside for stability.
So how this stove doing... do you do a vid of it boiling water? Any issues or design changes after use? Great project!!
Right on...Yes, still using the stove. I have at least a half dozen Ikea stoves so I tend to make them and give them away. I will be doing a series of videos comparing the Ikea stove to some well know production stoves so the one in the video will likely be used for that.Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft `Very good old boy but do you have a video of it boiling water.....cheerio.
@@HLsab I actually tested the set up before releasing the build videos. th-cam.com/video/GmyWa-jpbws/w-d-xo.html
awesome gonna try this only critic is that i'm sure there is a T in picture :D love from England
I'm pretty sure there is a T in picture as well...where did I misspell it at?...Let me know how your project turns out. Thanks for commenting
Another great cheap alternative. For the holes though, in the firebox, they are at 90deg, to each other, and offset, so the sticks will cross, and well as pointed upwards a bit, like holding a match. This was done so that you can actually get a little control over how hot the fire gets. You can use two small, or three or 4 very small twigs, and the smaller the hotter due mostly to surface area. Long story short, maybe you should have made them like that. Two smaller, offset holes.
Also, you could use your skewers to hold an alcohol stove inside your stick stove, but may need a slight adjustment to a couple holes. I think this is an important feature in a stick stove, for use when dry fuel is impossible to find. And all the components could be put inside the set up.
Really though, a brilliant idea for someone who doesn't have the cash. As much as I adore my firebox, this is tempting me to do just for the fun of it.
Great ideas Jim. I have a couple of extra Ikea utensil strainers I have been planing to set up similar to the Firebox with staggered feed holes. It will be different but remains to be seen if it will be better. Thanks for commenting.
Mark Young Well, I haven't played with making my own stove or anything, so I'm certainly not an expert, but I love my firebox, and has studied how it's designed, and why etc.....and I love it. 🙃🙂
Have you seen any of the videos from firebox? The guy is awesome. Goes out all the time trying shit with it. Great stuff to watch.
Anyway, great videos. Thanks
@@jimf1964 Sure have. I watch Steve's videos all the time. I own and love both Firebox stoves. I consider them the best stick stoves on the market. Coincidently, I am planning a series of video comparing stoves. The two stoves I will compare first as I feel so strongly about both of them are the Ikea hobo stove and the Firebox.
Mark Young Cool, I'll look out for it.
I like the small picture hangers on the sides. But instead of the skewer how about a steel fishing line leader with a couple fishing snaps?
Great idea. I have used bicycle brake cable as well with great success. Let me know if you try the fishing line leader idea
Mark Young
Someone already has, kinda. The steel fishing leader I came up with after watching this. th-cam.com/video/3KmFajqCgf8/w-d-xo.html
But I like your picture hangers better than just holes.
Any chance Pop Rivets would work on the lid. They just seem smoother?? The holes would escape the steam also.
Pop rivets are great. My only caution would be to use stainless steel ones if they will be exposed to direct flame. Thanks for commenting
Have to ask- so, ALL non-cookware stainless is safe to cook food in? Love the diy!!! New subscriber!
Good question. To the best of my knowledge, as long as it is just stainless steel and does not have a coating of some type it should be safe to use. Some water bottle and food containers have a plastic coating on the inside. Hope this helps. Thanks for commenting
Careful with drilling! I drilled metal once and my bit broke in two and the remaining part of the bit drilled into my thumb
I agree...half to protect your hands (and other body parts) as well as your eyes. Thanks for commenting
Quench the drill bit in water or oil as you drill and try to slow down the rpm’s
Good suggestions. Thanks for commenting
Great 👍
Thank you 👍
Just wondering...when All was said and done... including all the materials used, your time...needed tools and anything else that might be applicable ...what do you estimate the overall cost of making this is/was?
Good question. Material wise, maybe $10.00CAD for the items bought specifically for this project. Although some of those items were only partially used (aluminum bar, skewers, mounting hardware). I probably put 3 hours time into the project. Although it takes longer when recording. If I measured my time in terms of what I would charge as a consultant, it would be very expensive but in terms of using my free time to apply what little skill I have and enjoy the process..that was worth it. Tools I had but I tried to show some less expensive alternatives, including using the items just as they are...Hope this answers your question
Interesting... great ideas... & ambitious undertaking for me...I love to watch people build things but I have a feeling I’d botch this all up! Lol... In the long run it’d probably be better for me to buy something... I tried to do the ikea stove but having minimal tools I messed up cutting the hole... think I’ll stick to feather sticking and tying knots! lol... I so admire those who can do these .. I enjoyed watching... thanks!
lol@ center finder. i like the video
thanks
Perfect 😊😊
Glad you think so! Thanks for commenting
I can't find those kabob skewers any where. Not even Amazon
Unfortunate. I buy mine at Dollarama, our local dollar store. They are only out during BBQ season
i think you've just created you side job custom orders ikea pots from this video :)
maybe a small cottage industry that will help save the province😬...thanks for commenting Jim
Would rivets work for attaching the bail hardware?
Pop rivets are certainly and option. I did consider using rivets and some type of bracket that would hold a bail wire but opted for simplicity. Let me know if you try the rivets. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Have found rivets to work quite well. An anvil, which you already have, is needed to peen the rivets to the required tightness. Once the rivets are firmly in place, you need never be concerned about the nut & lock washer working loose and falling into your cook pot.... be well, stay strong, live long; your knowledge and innovation are remarkable...Cheers.
How is it travelling now , is it still working .
Still a great little kit. I have too many stoves now so this one does not get out all that often but I have another Ikea stove and pot kit I have been using for about seven years that still works great. Thanks for commenting
Thank you for this very interesting and informative video! I hope ill find this sugar canister) Subscrebed!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I was fortunate the day I found this one. I seem them once in a while but not often. Thank you for commenting and for subscribing to my channel
Is there a reason why I couldn't use aluminum or steel rivets instead of nuts and bolts
You absolutely could. I would think steel rivets would resist any heat better. I chose nuts and bolts as something more people may have access to. I recently started using 3/4" conduit clamps as swing out feet. The make for a more stable setup. Thanks for commenting
Stainless steal welding wire would made a great bail
it would Jim. the skewers are cheaper
You could use eye bolts
that would work
Mark how has the pot held up to use?
Very well. No issues at all. I find I usually leave the lid sitting loose on top when boiling to make it easier to lift off. Thanks for commenting
Yea I mention if you could make me this cook set on part 2 but also the complete cook set on part 3 also included

Thank you for responding so quickly 😊 I need to know how much in case I can't afford it because I am a Disabled Veteran and on a strict budget. I really like that stove set up of complete cook set👍
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I'm hoping that it's just one complete set.
@@MarkYoungBushcraft
Mark I went to about on your home page but I COULDN'T FIND A EMAIL ADDRESS?
Mark, I was looking at my Ikea utensil holder. Have you ever thought of using the Ikea stove by laying it on it's side? Like a pot belly stove. Putting feet on what you choose as the bottom and cutting open the chosen top. Placing rods across the top as pot holders. I understand this would work better for car and cabin camping because the feet end up on the side and it would not fit in the stuff sack as well as when the feet are on the bottom. I considered this after seeing how precarious the stove is upright, with the weight of the pot on the top. I saw a video where the whole thing fell over. As a pot belly stove it would be more secure.
Wow...really cool idea. I think I may have an extra Ikea strainer I can try this with. Thanks for the idea
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I have some ideas but I think that someone like you who is further down the rabbit hole will be more inventive.My thinking is that if you can suspend a can from the top portion you may have a small oven or using your metal rods and a sheet of tin can you can create a cookie sheet. By covering the hole at the top with foil you could reflect some heat down. You would need to be working with coals at this stage not direct flame. You have spiked my imagination. Thanks. Nothing like a good day dream.
Waarom geen rvs popnagels ?
Goei strakke afsluiting .
Stainless steel pop-rivets would work great. I did not have any at the time of making this video. Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark, I am assembling my kit, using your videos as a guide. And your information and instructions are very helpful. I have the taller version of the IKEA strainer, and was noticing that when the pot sitting on top of aluminum bars, the setup becomes a little unbalanced, at least for me and my shakey MS related hands.
So, I was wondering if you have ever used your setup with either a Stanley pot or GSI cup? My idea was to ultimately lower the center of gravity. And since these pots are slimmer than the IKEA caddy diameter,they can be used by lowering them into the IKEA caddy and suspended by skewars or tent stakes put through the holes of the stove.
Do you think that the air flow would be beneficial and sufficient using this method? Thanks again for the information and instructions on how to properly build the stove!
I am glad you are finding the videos useful. Couple of suggestions for your set up. Take a look at the two-video series I did on making simple stuff sacks. In the second video I make a sack for a Ikea hobo cook kit. I use metal conduit clamps as feet for that stove. They can swing out and create a wider more stable base. Also, the pot in that set sits down inside the stove. On testing I have found a pot that is smaller in diameter that the stove works very well as the heat and flames can move up the sides of the pot. A couple of tent stakes are all that are needed to support the pot at varying heights. Let me know how your set up works out for you
Mark Young I will go check out the videos that you have referenced‼️ And I will most definitely let you know how the project turns out. 😎
The conduit clamps as legs sounds like a great idea, as it should greatly mprove the stability.
➡️Thank you very much for your quick response👍🏻
Funny thing i beult my one stove.
Well you use a somting to protect the earth .
I use a rvs sigaret ass trade .
Its litte bigger than the stove u use now.
So the stove fit in it .
This way air still can flowe and the heat is asway from the earth and ass i stay in thare .
Great idea. A cheap pie plate works also works well. Thanks for commenting

After all that work, why didn't you show how well it fit into the stove. You just passed by that whole part the only time we saw it with the stove was when it was in the bag. I just don't understand that.....
