I have made my own stove from an old soda can and watching many different YT videos - finally came up with my own design. I love this idea and can't wait for my next shopping trip to pick one of these cans up!
Not only "Fun" to make your own stuff. But it keep's your brain and motor skills in problem solving and creating mode. Great tip on can ribs being measurements. Never knew dat! Good vid! Cheers! (Even 4 years later) :)
I'm one of those brand fools that can't resist some stove 'bling', only because I haven't got a clue on how to make my own stove. I seen some superb homemade alcohol stoves on TH-cam, just wish I had the ability to make my own. You are a classic example that you don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy yourself hiking. Keep up the great vids fella!
6:14 "...we're not saying this is better than a titanium pot..." I think it is, actually. I understand that it's not as durable as titanium, but titanium is a lousy heat conductor. It's great for eating utensils, but kind of sucks for pots and pans. I love this - I'm going to do it. Thanks for the clear instructions. BTW, I love the thumb cozy pot holder!
I will stick with my precious titanium. When I heat it...amazingly patterns of colors magically appear on my precious. It remains preciously cool to the touch. After a little while in the coals, if I look closely, I see markings that look precious. Ancient markings....all very very...precious. Of course had I not already spent $40 (or was it $60?) for my precious...I would make a pot from a coffee can. It too could be my precious...But for now, THIS is my precious. Mine. My precious...
LOL! I can't argue with that! ...Now I feel jealous and deflated - I have no precious. My pot shows no colors, no patterns, no ancient markings, and it burns my hands. Pity me. ;D
Cool video, love the DIY stuff. I've been using a #10 can for group cooking for years. May I suggest wrapping the can with fiberglass drywall tape, about 6-8 wraps, mid way up the pot. With the wrap you can pick the can up with out the burning your fingers. It's easier than the thumb cozy.
Great video.. I'm quite surprised more people haven't thought of using these tin cans as makeshift tin cups. I used them a lot in past Deer hunting trips maybe 24 years ago with my father. He didn't pack many cups and I'd just use the veggie tin cans as a makeshift coffee and bush tea cup.Going to check out your other vids..
cool set up, ive made a few of these in the past & they work great! for some reason it seems better using something made rather than something bought! nice job!
You can also use an illy brand coffee container. It comes with a lid that screws on and I just used a rubber band around the container to make a nice tight seal. Coffee is about 7 bucks here in Canada.
It's a SOG Blink with optional black TiNi coating. My fave light-duty EDC knife for about a year and a half now. Thin profile and a bit of style for dress clothes carry, and still rugged enough for outdoor adventures. You can find it at most online retailers.
I cook on coals only with my 1 gal old folgers can. i have had this can about 9 yrs. asvlong as you take care of the can, making sure can is cleaned right after eating they will not rust. you treat the metal ascyoubwould cast iron and oil it after every use. I also use liners inside to stew liguids to avoid the coating on the can from boiling off the can. if it boils off you have to re season the can, just like cast iron. thaks for the video.
Haha love the special effects! Great video. I’m a huge fan of MYOG stuff, especially discovering cook set alternatives... I’ll have to make a video of my setups sometime. Cheers!
I use a pineapple pot. A Dole pineapple can that has the pull ring on the top. Opened it using a similar opener to yours that unrolls the crimp and put a bread tie under the pull tab for something to lift the lid with. Never thought to look at the rings on the side of the can as a measuring mark. Will havta do that. Thanks!
Very good video. Very good idea. I would’ve bought two cans of coffee then side cut the bottom of one of them to make the lid for the other. Like you said, put all the coffee in Ziploc it will be no waste. Thank you so much for sharing this video. God bless you.
Have found that a cheap, small, pair of vise grips makes not only an excellent pot & lid handling device, but is a very useful tool around camp, and well worth the few grams of extra carry weight.
The one in the video is made by Kuhn Rikon and came from Kitchen Capers. Oxo makes them too, plus a few other brands - They're called "safety can openers" or "smooth edge can openers".
Have you heard of the Devils Path in the Catskill park in NY? Said to be the hardest hike in the northeast. Would love to see you do a video of that hike
I actually made myself this same pot. There isanother problem I came across, most coffee cans are cardboard sadly, but I fould a Mexican Espresso can that is just like the Chock Full o' Nuts.
Great video! love this kind of cook set, I have a large vienna sausage can I use for a tea/coffee cup with a monster can lid and, yes I also know what it's like to walk up and down the canned food isle feeling a bit eccentric. Once I actually let a stranger in on what I was doing...very positive reaction. Didn't call the cops, the store manager or anything! Thank you for sharing. I really like what you did...
Instead of cutting the rim completely off, just cut a fairly wide "v" in it to use as a pour spout. You can twist a wire coat hanger to make a handle, and use an aluminum pie pan for a lid, it will fit better and is stronger.
in the tomato cam what if you pit in a oven and put it 500 degress in a cleabing cycle. do you think that would cause the bpa either to burn off or at least flake off quicker
Great video. I have also tried this, but found out the the tin rush after 1 time used. The rust specially happened on the join portion of the can (where you can see the black line from top of can to the bottom). Maybe this happened only in my area (high humidity).
I wouldn't use a can without a molded bottom (usually a rounded stackable base ) since both ends are attached to the can with adhesive unless metal folded together type. Old coffee cans were the folded type, and secure, but many food cans today are adhesive. After a time, the bottom could just fall off in the fire and take dinner with it. A good way to test the line of cans you want to use is one of those can openers that separate tops from cans without sharp edges, because that hand opener depends on the principle of loosening adhesive . If the bottom comes off too then for long term use cook can, choose a molded bottom. Sidebar: If you have cans but no can opener, flip it upside down and rub vigorously on a smooth rock until it leaks, then slide top and can together to flip it right side up. You should be able to peel the lid off now that the adhesive is warm and loosened.
one thing that i like to do with the coffee can is to take a nail and jam it into the top part of the can and take some type of snare wire (not to where it hurts my hands) and make a little handle out of it so i can put it over a fire too but also great idea with the snug thing
Hey guys. For one ounce in weight penalty you can have a Brunton (the compass mfg.) .9liter anodized aluminum pot with insulated handles and vented lid. I've been using it for four seasons so far and it's doing fine. Take off the handles and the weights would be almost the same as this coffee can contraption. Fun to fool around and make stuff but for me to do this I'd have to buy a can of coffee and the horizontal can opener. Pretty expensive "free" pot.
This same cook can system works over wood cook fires, make sure to season the cook can a few times with oil before using for human consumption. With each use season the can a bit more with Olive Oil. I implore anyone using cans with liners to fully burn off all plastic or other can liner residue before human use, if at all possible use an all tin can from the start. Also at the end of each meal let the can stay on the heat to boil remaining moisture off & away from the seam on the cans bottom.
Oops I found the coffee but it was in a larger can. Interesting. Found some of the soup cans more in line with what you are looking for do not have bpa liners.
Another great video. I haven't checked on this, but the steel isn't galvanized is it? one suggestion for your set packing. One should be careful with storing a alcohol stove in your pot or cup. It can cost the inside of the pot. To be safe I store mine in double zip lok bags if I store out in a pot or cup.
Ugh! Getting harder to find metal cans like this now. Finding plastic and card board instead. Trying to make the Fosters can but the “tuna” can ring just won’t fit. Fosters can tears when trying to stretch it. Can leave it as is at only 1 oz. but fragile. Will look for this can though. Light weight is mandatory for me for physical reasons. Thanks for the video!
Haha, actually no. The closest I have is a generic $5 canister stove - similar to an MSR Pocket Rocket, that I did a separate video on. My primary fave is a home-made cat can alcohol stove.
I've read things where people will season these sort of like a cast iron pan to aid in cleaning inside if you cook in the pot and also to inhibit rust. Give it a try. Not sure if it works or not.
Has anyone used the cans with the gold lining? Or know if that lining is safe. I have a large curry powder tin with a lid that would be perfect for soaking dehydrated meals in. And it fits perfectly inside my large Milo unlined billy can.
Thanks for the video. This was a really get primer to building your camp set for low cost and keeping it lightweight. Luckily I skipped your other video with the Hunts can a few minutes into it. This one is better and safer.
Doing research for ultralight cooking pots and this video helped big time! Thank you Sintax77! I'm a bit concerned about aluminum dissolving into my camp food. Anyone have any suggestions as to safest ways to use this kind of cooking system or alternative material thats also lightweight?
Love watching all the tips , just a quick question that's unrelated , In one of your previous videos you mentioned your dad had a channel here , what was its name?
+Rspene smit I know for sure that the can in the video isn't an 11 oz. I can fit close to 3 cups in mine when using it, so the 30.5 version you saw sounds about right.
+sintax77 REMEMBER: the "11.3oz" is THE DRY WEIGHT OF THE COFFEE GROUNDS!!! As for VOLUME: I'm standing a new can that I bought for this project (thanksSyntax77) next to my 32oz/1 liter Nalgene bottle, and thus it looks like the "11.3 oz" coffee can will hold about 3 cups of liquid.
Heyyyyyyy...pretty good! Info about the measurements is priceless; thanks! I'm going to make this, and I will use flameproof paint on the outside to prevent rust. Darn can oughta last a lifetime, LOL. *sub*
What are the dimensions of the can? They make a whole bunch of can sizes( 11, 30.5, 33.9, 48 etc.). I will not be able to figure it out because it's not sold locally, so I'll have to order the coffee online. Thanks
+Troy Belanger I have a 40oz yams can (dia. 4", H 6"), unfortunately, with a liner. It matches the 28oz tomato can's diameter. I estimated that the yams can could hold up to 14oz of coffee. So I believe that the 11oz coffee can is the correct one please verify thanks.
Dear Mr Sintax, Good show lad, learned a few things I did. Where did you get the side cutting can opener? (specifically the green one you have in the vid) Thanks again, pierre from New Mexico
I appreciate your videos, I have subscribed, I have a request A "bargain basement" overnighter, thats right the most low budget dollar store , megamart stuff you can get. I really like your videos they are real, and fun. Please keep them coming
Most Trader Joe's cans have no liner accept Tomato based products. They have a larger can of Lentil soup that would work. Also Costco and Sams have Nut cans I collect that have no bpa lining as well.
Question: Your gear list shows this cook pot and set up and disposable water bottles and bags. In another video, you cooked right in the military cup that goes on the canteen. (I might be confused, of course). Is it lighter that way or do you prefer the DIY cook set up for other reasons? I'm making my own DIY set up because of this vid but the canteen and cup look cool too. BUT, I don't want to spend the money on the canteen if I'm just going to leave it at home anyway. Thoughts? I probably sound like I'm getting picky here but you're a really good teacher and I take your advice seriously.
Ding Dion Yes, I used a canteen cup and stove / windscreen on my first solo video in NH. Like you said, it's a pretty cool setup, and functioned fine, but was a good deal heavier than the DIY system I switched to later. Mine stays at home now, but I still like it for nostalgia.
Thanks!! Got my can at the Dollar General Store. Clover Valley's Country Sunrise Dark Roast coffee can is identical to this one. Their other flavor is not. The coffee kinda sucks, but I'll blend it. ;)
great idea, one thought use the top (which is aluminum) as the lid. Simply, don't pull off the top, instead use the safety can opener to cut the top off with the aluminum still in place. Add a tab of muffler tape to the top for a lid handle, and Voila!
Next time you run out of Chock Full Of Nuts coffee cut the bottom of the next can you buy and use that for your lid for your cook pot. I had to do that with mine and it worked great ! Great Video ! Keep it up !
The next time I get out I'll show it...It's not much and I've seen better (see Intense Angler) but it's fun to know how easy it is, Be a nice camp site project...
Bobcats31 It works good. You just have to pay a little extra attention to keeping it dry before storing it though, or can start to get a little rust. Not the end of the world though, as long as you drink enough coffee, you can always make a new one.
I have made my own stove from an old soda can and watching many different YT videos - finally came up with my own design. I love this idea and can't wait for my next shopping trip to pick one of these cans up!

No problem. Glad to hear it works with your canister system as well. I'll be switching to that from alcohol once the snow season kicks off.

Take another coffee can, use the same can opener and cut the bottom of the can for a perfect fitting lid

I have done this same process with a mixed fruit can. I used the top as my lid and it's about 800ml which is over 3 cups

A small military can opener will remove the lip flush with the inside of the can leaving the rest which strengthens and supports the top of the can.

Awesome vid! LOVE that you addressed the BPA concern. It is a major issue, IMO.
You're that weirdo in the canned food aisle! Love your videos and editing style! Cracks me up!
That C.F.O.N can makes a great wood gasifier stove. A 19 oz. Progresso soup can fits almost perfectly down into the top with minimal persuading.

BPA poisoning makes backpacker's brains work more gooder -- dont knock it.
seems like you're feelin' some better now. :)
@@Freeorg0917 Don't use a coated pot if it bothers U, just plain titanium, stainless steel or aluminum.
Have a cozy vid yet? I've played around with some but can't quite get one as functional looking as yours.
What is the can made of? Aluminum is a no go for me but this looks like possibly steel.
Ugh! Getting harder to find metal cans like this now. Finding plastic and card board instead. Trying to make the Fosters can but the “tuna” can ring just won’t fit.

Awesome find! thanks for sharing! what brand of sidecutter are you using?
If it is a coffee brand you use often could you not use the bottom of one can for the LID of your cook pot?
+Steve Mazz Simple and effect - excellent point :)
Nice, cheap cooking system. Out of interest, do you own a branded stove? If you do, what one(s)?
Thanks for the video. This was a really get primer to building your camp set for low cost and keeping it lightweight. Luckily I skipped your other video with the Hunts can a few minutes into it. This one is better and safer.
This is BRILLIANT!!!
for those who watch Shug or like espresso, medaglio D'oro espresso (not the instant) comes in the same can, and is excellent coffee!
Doing research for ultralight cooking pots and this video helped big time! Thank you Sintax77!
I'm a bit concerned about aluminum dissolving into my camp food. Anyone have any suggestions as to safest ways to use this kind of cooking system or alternative material thats also lightweight?
Save your money and buy titanium.
i think you can test if the can is either aluminum or not with a magnet. not all tins and made from aluminum. I can't remember how, just google it.
Does anyone know of a pot without lines/ridges? I'm thinking a smooth inside would be easier to clean for cooking things directly in the can.
Love watching all the tips , just a quick question that's unrelated , In one of your previous videos you mentioned your dad had a channel here , what was its name?
I've seen the videos on the foster's style aluminum can pots, but this idea seems better to me.
Great idea. Thanks for can opener tip too.

Curious to see how your version held up after 5 years.
What are the dimensions of the can? They make a whole bunch of can sizes( 11, 30.5, 33.9, 48 etc.). I will not be able to figure it out because it's not sold locally, so I'll have to order the coffee online. Thanks
+Troy Belanger I have a 40oz yams can (dia. 4", H 6"), unfortunately, with a liner. It matches the 28oz tomato can's diameter. I estimated that the yams can could hold up to 14oz of coffee. So I believe that the 11oz coffee can is the correct one please verify thanks.
what brand of can opener? where to buy one? I've never seen one like that before
could also make a handle out of a metal coat hanger that catches the ribs and would only way a few grams. or hell even some haywire would work
What brand is the can opener? I bought one at Kitchen & Company that said "no sharp edges" but it was a lie!
tmion Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Master Opener
what's that can opener you used? can't find a cut & crimp can opener on amazon

Most Trader Joe's cans have no liner accept Tomato based products. They have a larger can of Lentil soup that would work. Also Costco and Sams have Nut cans I collect that have no bpa lining as well.
:( i just sat in traffic to get that from trader joes and all 3 cans had liners
great video sintax!
His channel name is Whiterook85 - does mostly firearms (modern / old west) and hunting related vids (feeders, gear, etc).
As the guy below me said, I also need to find a side cut can opener, but good DIY video.

thats the beauty of coffee,no blend is wrong.
great idea, one thought use the top (which is aluminum) as the lid. Simply, don't pull off the top, instead use the safety can opener to cut the top off with the aluminum still in place. Add a tab of muffler tape to the top for a lid handle, and Voila!
Could you not just use the lid that you just cut off the can for a lid?
How did you attach the push-pin handle to the lid?
Make a hole in the top - may can use the push-pin; insert the push-pin and bend their tip, e.g. in a circle.
Great job. Really going to try that out 👍
Excellent Brother! Thank You for Sharing
Can you use this on open fire?
Next time you run out of Chock Full Of Nuts coffee cut the bottom of the next can you buy and use that for your lid for your cook pot. I had to do that with mine and it worked great ! Great Video ! Keep it up !
Oops ! Replied before I saw the end of your video about using another can for the lid. That will teach me to watch the videos to the end ! Lol !!
MrKelso159 No worries, I like your tip too!
The next time I get out I'll show it...It's not much and I've seen better (see Intense Angler) but it's fun to know how easy it is, Be a nice camp site project...
What material did you use for your cozy?
Reflectix. In fact, here's a whole video I did on it if you're interested How to Make a Reflectix Pot Cozy for your Ultralight Cook Pot

how does the coffee can work?
Bobcats31 It works good. You just have to pay a little extra attention to keeping it dry before storing it though, or can start to get a little rust. Not the end of the world though, as long as you drink enough coffee, you can always make a new one.
lol, love that "slice it right off" slow mo...classic, nice jokes
