    After making the solid fuel stove, I wanted to make the fuel too. Here is what I came up with. It uses mostly common items and is easy to put together and use for cooking. It burns strongly and will work in all solid fuel stoves. It's also a great fire starter for wet weather. Thanks for watching!

      Love this stove ! Great idea ! And I really like the fuel tab; question, how about seeing if crushed (not too fine) charcoal briquettes would substitute for sawdust and see how long it would burn. I do not have access to sawdust but do the charcoal. I think I am going to make it with the charcoal and will let you know how it faired for me. Let me know if you try this. Grandma in Texas

      Please correct your statement regarding lids on cups .
      The boil time of water is identical regardless of the presence of a lid .
      There's no difference between the boil time with a lid or without a lid .
      That said ,a lid is good for preventing loss by evaporation and also for keeping debris and bugs out of your water and food.

    Oh, this is definitely on the list! I love experimenting with different firestarter and flame extenders, but haven't tried anything with solid fuel tabs yet.
    My favorite ready-made tinder/ extender (so far) is cotton rounds saturated with coconut oil, dipped and sealed in candle wax... Using them as usual (break open, fluff up, spark) I have gotten 8-10 minute burn time in a stiff breeze. They do get messy in warmer weather, which in Louisiana is 85% of the year lol, but a sandwich baggie or something will keep them from making a mess... And any oil on my fingers just gets rubbed on either my knife blade, or my beard! LOL
    I did see someone who suggested substituting beeswax; that way you've even got a second potential use for them- emergency calories in a survival situation! Chewing the wax and extracting the calories and large amount of fats from the coconut oil might save your life, who knows.

    • @WayPointSurvival
      @WayPointSurvival  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You could do that as long as it's just beeswax. However, I would most definitely not recommend using the method that I used for anything that goes in your mouth.

      @@WayPointSurvival As I was looking at a stash of toilet paper rolls I've saved this morning...I got to wondering if cutting the toilet paper tubes in like 1/2" or so rings and putting the contents into that (making it a round little puck) wouldn't work. Instead of a silicone mold (for people who don't have or want to buy a mold). I'm thinking it ought to work...? What are your thoughts on that? A person would just have to put all the little "rings" on an old cookie sheet (maybe lined with wax paper, or foil) and then fill with the contents before allowing to cool.

    • @WayPointSurvival

      This recipe in a very slightly different form is from WW2, saw dust and gulf wax, poured in to a cardboard tube. However the way point group seems to have spent some time refining the idea in to a nice system.

  • @fookingsog
    @fookingsog 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I'd like to try something similar except for using cardboard toilet paper tubes with corrugated cardboard rolled up and packed inside the tube, wick added for ease of lighting and then dipped in wax several times to fill the voids in the corrugation. Gulf Wax is inherently soft, so a hardness modier can be added, in this case, stearic acid. Just 10% of Stearic Acid added will increase the melt point for higher temperature stability and increase the burn time. Stearic Acid can be easily purchased on Amazon.

    • @WayPointSurvival
      @WayPointSurvival  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Really good tip with the stearic acid, I wasn't aware of that. These do seem to harden up pretty well with all the other ingredients added but it would be nice to increase that a bit.

      We made these too in Boy Scouts. We used cardboard coiled up in a tuna can and covered in wax. They are called Buddy Burners and used in a coffee can Buddy Stove. You cook your food and then snuff out the buddy burner and let it cool. Then you put it back in your pack for the next time. The nice thing is that you don't have to worry about spilled fuel and it is reusable until the cardboard and wax is all gone which is about 5-6 campouts.

      Beeswax has an inherently longer burn time as it is harder and has a higher melt temp than paraffin wax. That being said, you could probably make a beeswax burn tab 1/2 the size of the paraffin tab and get the same results!!! I also believe beeswax burns with less smoke but that can also happen due to an improperly trimmed wick!!!

    I wish I'd seen this before buying fuel cubes. Will make these for summer. Made a second sink stopper stove, picked up a small toaster oven slotted shallow pan. Voila! I have a two burner stove that will cook a full meal (once I've made these fuel cubes with cotton balls) in no time! Yee haw! So much fun, so little money spent! Thanks so much!

    Waypoint survival: thank you very much for this! It’s kind of nice to have something like this on hand for the times when you expect your fire to be a little harder to set, or for when drought forces prohibition on open campfires. Or even when you just wanna get something to eat quickly and get back to your hike.
    There’s a whole host of things sitting around the house that might work in this recipe. For anybody can’t find paraffin wax, maybe broken old crayons that the kids don’t use anymore, or even old lip balm you’re fine in your bags that are too old to want to use for anything else; that sort of thing might do; it’s gonna be fun to experiment with this! This is really awesome and well thought out! :-)

    This is really cool....I like to use the plentiful materials around my area....mainly being, Cardboard & paper....I soak it up , shredd it to a pulp form it into a cube, add my DIY fire gel and voila...done....
    Your wood dust/chips are good, if you have access to that in your city. Cardboard is everywhere .

  • @wjf213
    @wjf213 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great idea. I didn't read through all the comments, so maybe someone suggested it already, but have you thought about adding some fine magnesium shavings to the top of each cube as soon as it's poured, and kind of push them down a little. Then when you're ready to light the cube, scrape a little of the top off to expose the shavings. I think in windy weather, those mag shavings will really help keep the cube going. Keep up the great work.

    • @WayPointSurvival
      @WayPointSurvival  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had not thought of adding magnesium shavings, but there's no reason why a person couldn't do that if they wished. Thanks for watching.

  • @SuperGlacierGirl
    @SuperGlacierGirl 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just thought, maybe add a small piece of string to the top of the pour. It can act as a wick to get it started quicker than lighting the edge. It can lay flat when dry, just peel up an end to light.

    • @WayPointSurvival
      @WayPointSurvival  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, that would be a good addition indeed.

    Try an empty tuna fish can with a coiled cardboard wick and wax. Makes a really hot fire and burns a lot longer than 16 minutes. Of course the fuel pellets are much lighter to carry than a tuna can but as a Girl Scout I have carried them on overnight hikes. One lasts for several meals. The addition of sawdust makes them even hotter.
    Really want to try your sink stopper stove. It’s genius. Hope my burner fits my strainer.
