How To Build A David West Style Of Hobo Stove

- My stoves are fast starting and very hot burning because of their strong updrafts. My design has an elevated perforated floor, extra vent holes top and bottom, and a large feed hole that can be oriented towards the wind.
No, this stove is not a fuel saver, but it will make damp wood burn well, boil water quickly, and last for years if kept out of the rain.

Must fill some deep- down need that the Lord gives a fellow .... , so satisfying to watch.
I hear that a lot.
Made three of these with my sons. Kids started their first swiss army knife and Ferro rod fire yesterday... 😁
That's awesome. My grandson is not interested in these techniques at all. I was at his age.
A new stove for a new year. Time to break it in with coffee, eggs, and bacon. I really need to build a couple of these.
It’ll probably cook well like all the others. Ty!
Like the tradition thing you do…great idea! One just started in California…😁
Hey David ! I built a hobo stove a while back and it worked well, however if I wanted to cook burgers or a steak I needed more surface area. I salvaged an old car tire rim, put legs on it, and used some rebar and expanded metal as a fire grate. The rim already had lots of holes for it to draft properly. I made a grate for cooking out of an old round BBQ grill and welded a piece of square tubing to it. With a steel spike driven into the ground I slipped the round grilling grate over it. I had a "T" handle that I could raise and lower the grill with. I can even swing the grill away if I needed to get the food off the fire for a bit. As the fire burns down I can move the grill closer to the fire or up higher if I want a slow cook. Your hobo stove was my inspiration. Thanks! (Rob in Texas)
How many times have I watched your hobo stove builds and they never get old! Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work! I never tire of watching you make fire.
I have 1 more rust out that I want to replace. That may be a no expanded metal build.
Nice outside the box ingenuity! Next level stuff
Thanks klav!
AWESOME as always, I did build my first hobo stove a year ago based upon one of Your videos.
I will try this one as well cause it's not exactly the same and I want to improve. Thank You very much for sharing Your knowledge about fire. Greetings from France ^_^
Good luck!
I’m going to make one, but with a square plate at the bottom so I can have all-thread legs that go from the ground up past the top. The rods will be the pot support as well as the feet. That way I can use a big cast iron pan on it. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS.
Man, Hootyhoo! That's a great idea. Let me know how it works out for you.
Perfect sir love ❤ from India🇮🇳
Good instructional video David , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks, you too!
Thanks for sharing
Great job, I got a can just for that. I have a rocket stove, this will be my first Hobo stove.
Let me know how it turns out.
Hello David. Thank you for the video. For several years I lived off the grid and made several variations of these stoves to cook most of my meals outside providing the weather was decent. Now I have it made: electricity, running water, propane, and flush toilets. Life is good!
And you’ve skills to fall back on if needed.
Good design 👍
David, you can often find old car or truck air filters that have expanded steel screens that can be cut out. They are sometimes made of stainless steel and last a long time in a stove.
I've seen them, now that you mention it.
Looks great! handy little stove.
How about cooking some simple thing? Coffee. burger?
Thanks again Sir!
The stove cooks well see my Cooking Playlist.
Thank you David I'm saving this video, blessings going out to you and your family 🙏
God Bless you!
Nice work!
Thanks!
Welcome!
I built one of your hobo stoves here a while back. But I needed more surface area to cook burgers or a steak. I found an old car rim and with your hobo stove as inspiration I made a portable grill that works great. Thanks David! (Rob in Texas)
Now that's cool!
Thanks David this year I retired I'm going to try to use the information from your channel to start a hobby
It's a lot of fun!
Thank you David, I just bought all the supplies this week and now this! Perfect. Thank ya! Gonna build this tomorrow!
You’ll enjoy the build and use of it.
Hello and Thank you! I am gonna build one tomorrow!
Let me know how it turns out.
Awesome as always brother thank you for sharing your knowledge with us it’s life changing.
My pleasure!
Ive got a can that is the same size and am thinking of making one of these stoves. I have everything except the flooring and feed screen. I might be able to use something instead of the expanded metal screen. Thats cool that you use the rust from the old stove to do your fire roll with. Thanks for the instructional and you and Mrs White be good-
See hobo stove build playlist for a build without expanded metal.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Yes- thanks Mr West
Would a 3 leg system be better? No wobble even on uneven ground/surfaces.
I get that a lot. The stove is top heavy and would tip over easily.
Those snippers are real cheap at Harbor Freight. They come in 3 packs
I've seen them, too.
David, this is cool. But besides that, you are a prime candidate to be abducted to a space-alien’s museum/zoo, exhibit of the very start of space travel. So please be careful and keep an eye up. ~8O
Wonder if star dust will fire roll?
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Haha, good one.
Hey Dave how do you make a "hobo stove" when you need a fuckin 70 dollar drill?
Ever heard of a hole saw, electrician's knock-out, Dremel Tool, etc? I've cut them out with a pocket knife and have more than one video to prove it.
I would not recommend walking barefoot around that work table.
Metal shavings, Chert shards, and a little broken glass. No “Slip and Slide” either.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl I bought a roll around magnet from HF to clean up after a remodel job. It works great. They also sell a bar magnet with a hook that I tie a 3 or 4 foot piece of cord to and drag around the area. Amazing what you find. Sometimes, forty or fifty year old nails and hardware.
We have a good one... somewhere!
