I've been building these since I saw your first alcohol stove, and tried several other DIY stove instructions. I gave the first one using your original to my daughter-in-law (Active Army Reserve) & she loves it. I think this one I will be giving as one of my Christmas gifts to my son (Blackhawk pilot, one to his wife (same as above) & another for my son-in-law (Avid hunter & camper.). Of course I'll keep one as a gift for myself. Joe
The best alum can stove I’ve seen so far, genius!
Absolutely AWESOME Design and EXCELLENT Video and Commentary!!! Great Job Dude! I honestly think this is the Pinnacle in the evolution of Wood Gas Stove design and function. It is simple, One Cut, drill a few holes, compressing the two parts together can be done in the field AND it has a large reservoir for longer cooking time. You win the prize for best design and manufacture!!! Good job.
+Michael Warren Thank you so much for the kind words and support you give my channel! Have a great night !!!
the board said "I love you very much" Lol nice video too. :)
Thank you! I love my daughter... It was her writing!
I use those Aluminum bottles as the center of my Wicked Catfood can stoves. It fits perfectly, there is plenty of room for the fiberglass cloth I use as a wick and it is strong enough to hold up your pot.
great video. .. I can't wait to make a couple of those stoves. ..it's amazing how simple and effective things can be. ..the grinder he's using doesn't have much power at all so if he did hit his finger it would probably just cut the surface at most and if people don't have enough common sense to be safe when using tools , that's not his problem. ..
Thank you! They're fun and fairly simple to make! I appreciate the support you give my channel! You're exactly right about the grinder... Have a great day. :-)
Thanks for all your informative videos. I love them. Just a little tip: if you use a little grease, the roll will go much smoother.
Excellent tip. Thank you for that, the kind words and support you give my channel! Blessings from Arizona!!!
great design and step by step instructions!
thank you!
Fantastic video.. Never occurred to me to use that curling trick.. Gonna give this a try. Thanks for the upload!
Thats great.. I saved a few boxes of my brothers red budweiser can bottles because I knew there was something to make with them and it seemed like a waste to toss them.. nice thick aliminim bottles... for creative people, nothing is junk. I dont have a cutting wheel, but maybe they make a cutting wheel for a drill? id like to see how you got the 1 bottle to fit in the other bottle end to roll it. I made a stove from 16 oz budweiser cans from your other video using arizona tea cans. It worked nice with 16 oz cans. . I have been cutting up can butts trying to make something above the flames to set a pot on. I tried to make one with ears but cut one off trimming it. lol. I have plenty of cans to experiment on. I only had 70 percent rubbing alchohol and it worked great. Also, I didnt have and pledge, so wd30 worked just fine.Anyway, the 70 percent rubbing alcohol had a pretty blue flame... when it started comming out of the little holes when it primed, it looked soo cool.
Thanks, very well made & performing little stove. I also like that the aluminum beer can used is much stronger than others & I like that.
I believe you got the perfect distance from the top to the ports for the flame 🔥 length for heating whatever container , good 👍 job .
Great design, quick and eloquent. Just make sure nobody drinks that crap, pour it out!
Thanks for taking the time.
awesome! thank you
I enjoy your videos. I have purchased a few of the Stanley cook sets based on your reviews. When it comes to the stove building You should take the time to build a few jigs to obtain square cuts.If you are going to roll the edge of the outer can this becomes even more critical.As for fuel the absolute best would be a blend of around 50/50 of methanol and ethanol. The SLX denatured is unregulated an can contain up to 20% MEK and other toxic chemicals.The Klean Strip Green contains 96% or more methanol.Same mfg just their green line. The good fuel is called Green Envy made by Sunnyside and can be ordered online. It is a 50/50 blend.That blend gives the burn time of one and the BTU of ethanol.Isopropyl should be rubbed on sore muscles but only cooked with when nothing else is available. 48 ounces of heet is $5.87 at Walmart Just helpful hints I hope.
I dont think it does much different than a wick in a can . You can see the center boling too and a big flame up the center .
Russian stove

From Russia with love !!!
Best one I seen yet
Nice .I've seen many similar stoves on TH-cam.your is one of the best and easyest one seen.I am going to make this one thank you I appreciate your ingenuity.
Very cool cook stove! Now I have to fine some who drinks so I can make one of your stove. Great idea! Thank you
Wow Mark Gibbs explained but to see this actually being done is awesome thanks
I think it's cool your kid still leaves you "I love you" messages even though you steal their play-doh :)
+1pdigit Ha ha. She was upset about her play doh, but still loves me... LOL
Oh gotta try that one, beautiful flame. Guess I gotta drink a few beers before getting started🤣
Thank you!
I love that little stove, It's very cool,thank's for sharing your idea.
best can stove i seen on youtube
nice I like this design. plus the grinder works better than a razor blade. a lot safer too
Nice regular flames all around. Like it.
Nice! Thank you for your service and sacrifice!
Semper Fi, someone showed me that when I was a kid totally forgot about it! was looking at video's on camping stoves for back packing and I'm going on camping trip with my new Honda XR650R street legal dirt bike needed something small and lite weight this will do, cheap, won't care if I damage it and it will impress my friends, Thanks Marine Veteran Guy Young III
Thank you! They work great and they're fun to make. Serving was an honor. I go back tomorrow if needed... :-)
Great video demo, I particularly like the heavy duty can.
Thank you. I agree, the aluminum bottles are much thicker and hold up longer. :-)
Great video, very well detailed and explained. Thank you
Thank you! Glad you liked it!!
3:25 it is very dangerous to keep your fingers on the cut line...
An excellent design, well demonstrated. Thanks for sharing.
Regards
thank you
Awesome video as usual. Your videos on reloading are some of the best I've seen on TH-cam. And my son and I are going to make one of these stoves soon. Keep up the awesome work.
You started this video with a note of safety' Too bad that's where it ended. But I do like the stove idea. Be safe or what you're doing could be for nothing.
Alyssa & Cody Thank you for the concern. What are you referring to?
I've shared it with 3 of my friends.They will love it !!! THANKS FOR THE VID BRO !!!
Thank you for the support you give my channel as well as the kind words!
Just found your channel! Looks like your vids our right up our alley. Thank you for doing these.
Gotta make this one soon
Great diy, me and my dad are going to make us one, either this one or a fancy feest
Nice demonstration my friend, I have made loads of these little stoves along with the penny pot stove, thanks for sharing

You had me worried when your finger was in line with the blade on your first cut. Thanks for the video.
A good use for Bud Light!
very very very good
Thanks!!
I like this one most of all I've seen. And you showed us all the fuels .without flashing them so fast were left gassing what the hack was that .that can be so flushrating ty much
Enjoyed the video, really loved the background music, Jack Johnson- Where'd All The Good People Go?
Thank you for the support and kind words. Have a great night!
Thank ;you for sharing this, great idea, works well, lightweight that is good for backpacking or survival situations.
great job, clear instructions
Awesome way to make a stove!
Sorry this question might be off topic but anyway I am wondering if how long a 25 ml denatured alcohol would last when burning? Would it suffice for let us say boiling 5 liters of water for hours?
Also I noticed the way you use the tools, please don't be acrobatic... always safety first as you said... however, your video is very much informative... you gave me idea, thanks.
I doubt it . I got a coleman gasoline stove for that . This one makes blue flames sticking out . Thats why we are all here isn't it ? So cool to look at . And make coffee .
No, 25 ml is less than one ounce. At most, you'll get maybe 10-15 minutes (+/-) of burn time depending on wind conditions. That little amount of fuel will give you a nice hot cup of coffee, but not much more.
Thanks for explaining about the fuel. And thanks for sharing your idea on stove, and how to extinguish it! Ha,ha. I must say You made me nervous watching you use that grinder - even though you said it wasn't that powerful; I felt that you should have kept it well away from fingers and leg. Great little camping stove/barbecue stove.
Accomplish the marking using a strip of paper wrapped around the bottle. Fold it a few times to get evenly distributed markings.
thought I was going to see some arterial spray, but very nice design especially the rolled edge
+Luis De Leon Thank you! It works great!
notice at 12:45 the board says "I love you very much"
Nice video and surprising craftsmanship with a beer bottle. Have you tried smaller holes? That flame is pretty high and it would burn longer.
Thank you! I haven't tried smaller holes. If you do, please let us all know how it works. :-)
Ouch!!!!! Great ideas, but man that's dangerous working.
best intro
Good video! Thanks for ur tips! And I'm a first time subscriber! Big Boy Frank from Texas!
Frank Simental thank you!
I do not recommend showing people that using your leg as a cutting surface is ok.
That was an awesome presentation. One question I have is, do you have to make the stove that high?? I was thinking of a stove a third of that size that you made...
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel. You can make them as high as you want. My thought was... slightly higher = more fuel = more run time for cooking... :-)
very good video well explained on how to reload 223 bullets will make me want to start making my 223 bullets, because you don't make one of 9mm bullets.thanks
Does it melt the aluminum? How l long will it last? That is just about as cool as spice racks! Thanks! Very impressive.
12:30 Or use a bench vise with two blocks of wood, one on each end.
I was waiting for blood. No blood. haha. Nice.
Well done
Nice stove thanks for sharing.
I've been wondering about alcohol versus the smaller propane cylinders as far as cost per cooked meal.
Wonderful! Could you use kerosene lamp fuel? Thank you and God bless.
thank you! this is an alcohol stove. denatured alcohol works best. "heet" in the yellow bottle in the automotive section world great too 90% or higher isopropol alcohol works ok, but leaves black soot on bottom of the pan. hope this helps. God bless you too!!
Glad to see the finger move.😵
nice, the simplest one I've seen, n best I must say. my question is, how long will this one burn for? thanks.
NICE WORK,,,,,,,
Geeeeez thought you were going to loose a finger @ 3:34
+Peter F It looks scary I know, but the truth is that grinder is so low powered. It would be lucky to break the skin. Thank you for the concern and for stopping by. Have a great day!
The 9 volt Makita is not low powered it is just your battery is not charged
Chet Gravatt it's only 7.2 volts. it's a great little light duty grinder
Very nice stove … i hope my effort will be as nice
Very cool. I will have to make one. Thanx!
Awesome bro.
Ótimo vídeo Parabéns 👍👍🇧🇷 Fogareiro bom
great video better than pop cans, I noticed after you crimped the top the camera cuts and when I see it again it looks like it's rolled a lot better on top did you do something to additional to roll the top and also what type of can or brand do you put on top when you're crimping
To turn it off? you use the Arizona half can as a lid correct? Hopefully without getting burned in the process...
It needs to be smothered to kill it. Thank you for watching!
hello, nice project, I would like to know the burning time for a single fill on denatured alcohol?
Nice. The only thing I would wonder about is? Since your top is sealed view do you pour out the excess of you have fuel left over? It's possible through the jet holes but could get messy.
thank you. when I'm done cooking I snuff the stove out by covering it with a metal cup. this puts it out. if there's not much fuel left I'll let it burn out so it will be dry in my bag.
Hey do you have to use a vice or clamp or can i press it against the table with the other can bottom to round it just wanted to find out before i buy a vice
ILike this one Sir the lios Blue? How Much that one Idol?
The best way to get rid of that awful stuff in denaturated alcohol is using coal,the same thing you use cleaning up your tap water.Every shop that sell equipment for brewing wine has it in their shelves,at least here in Norway.................................................................................Here is how you do it, follow this advice and you are guaranteed a good result.Denaturated alcohol is some pretty mean stuff,don't expect it to be drinking liquor but it is clean enough for use in a small cabin or a tent without being forced out of your "house"!However the same procedure used for cleaning homemad liquor works out perfect!................................................................................Most homebrewers lack knowledge about the nature of these tiny coal particles,the same product used in gas masks,really.People is looking more at the costs of the coal and usually cut down on the needed amount that is required for a good result!And most people pour the liquor down the coal pipe instead of making it start from bottom and slowly work it's way up and out .IT IS TOTALLY WRONG!!!!!!!!!!.................................................................................The proportions of the pipe is also important,inside diameter must be at least four centimeter and the length about three meter.AND USED FOR DRINKING LIQUOR,THROW THE COAL AWAY FOR EVERY SIX LITER 45 PERCENT YOU HAVE MADE.REMEMBER,BEST RESULT WHEN THE STUFF IS ABOUT 45 PERCENT.................................................................................When poured into the top of the pipe,the moisture makes a track for the following drops and the result is not very effective,the liquor tends to follow a narrow track and does not spread out and use the fully potential of the cleaning effect.The right way is to let the liquor into the pipe from the bottom,you do it by hanging the liquor can on a higher level then the top of the pipe!Then the liquor will spread out evenly and take advantage of every single coal particle.The speed where you introduce the liquor to the coal is also important,a golden rule is the same speed as it came out of the distill when making it.The best cleaning effect for drinking liquor is when it is about fifty percent,it's just so.Forget that now as we are dealing with denaturated alcohol.
yo omg does any one notice how close this guy comes to cutting off the tip of his index finger???? if your doing this for survival then your not gonna last bro
You must not use power tools much bro, its a low powered cordless grinder. Looks much meaner than it actually is. :-)
yeah but if i learned correctly in science class aluminum is harder then skin so im sure it wouldnt have any problem sawing a finger in two
but youd know better then i, i suppos
You should go back to English class, bro. Ha!
Roberto Caban i
how are the flames going through the holes.. I thought it was sealed tight?
In another video i cant seem to find, did you say that when doused in a sense ( smother the fire) that the 91% alcohol is cold to the touch and can be poured back into the bottle for later use?
super buen video te felicito buen proyecto
Thank you!
Very nice 👍👍👍✌🤘
In nearly every video, people are making some combination of 8 holes.
8, 16, 24, 32 and one person said 19 holes for some odd reason.
I wonder why all the holes?
Some use push pins to make holes in pop cans, other use #57 drill bit for drilling holes.
Other use 1/16" and still others use the next size down.
I have seen some people mix as much as 50% of the 91% and 50% of the Denatured Alcohol. I think they said it alters the burn rate and temperatures a bit for a less hotter burn and longer burn.
Instead of lots of small holes for the jets, have you thought about making some slots instead? Say about 1/4" horizontal slots, same height, and only have about 4 or so of them?
Slot size about the thickness of a hacksaw blade or smaller?
If you took that bottom can part you made a jig out of or a longer one and cut some holes in it after stretching, you could place that inverted over the stove and rotate to make a simmer ring. Maybe JB Weld something on the simmer ring to use as a handle of sorts? Maybe leave a 1/2" extra length and width (strip) on one side of the simmer ring to roll/fold it to make a handle?
Side burning is great but most of the heat is lost up the sides. Probably best for a skillet?
Perhaps a smaller flame kernel to use on both pots and skillets?
Some builders claim that if you place the stove in a shallow pan of water, it slows down the burn - not sure if this is good in cold weather though.
Some builders use a wicking material in their stoves.
Another suggestion is to use a can lit from a tuna can and JB Weld that to the bottom to give more stability and for use as a primer pan.
Out in the woods it is hard to find a hard, flat, level surface for the stove.
Your thoughts?
Awesome!
So, you do not drink beer, but you do eat cat food. So now you have a bunch of drunk cats, with no fancy feast cause you ate it? lmao
How do you pour the unused full out ?
I pour out into a container using a funnel
Very cool!
Thanks!
Nice job! I can do this! (And I think he was trying to keep the job in front of the camera for the video's sake. Would be easier to keep fingers and crotch out of the way when not filming!)
Hi nice vids how Many onces have you put ? And how long does it lasted? Thanks
Nice bro.
Holy Jesus, dude, did you just dump about 3-4oz of denatured alcohol in that thing?
As a backpacker, we typically use subtract new total weight from original stove +fuel wt. To determine remaining fuel.
7) NOW you have a very good idea how much fuel you need to use/ take with you for little/ no waste.
* tips: a wind shield of some kind yields faster/ more uniform boil times
* if making knorr noodles, next project is a bubble foil (radiant barrier) "pot kozy"... reach boil temp, extinguish stove, place pot in kozy with food contents- it cooks it for you w/o burning fuel!
jiujitsu2000 Do you HAVE to roll the top edge of the stove?
Thanks!
Hi I wanna build one of these jet type stoves I bought a heavy aluminum water bottle , my big problem is going to be able to roll that top edge ,I’m going to need something a lot more sturdier than an aluminum can bottom to roll that edge ,I’m guestamating it’s a 16 th of and inch thick , any ideas🤔 the container is about 2-1/2 “ in diameter.
That is COOL!!!
Its a good video. i want a faster version with the other compressed can included. how did you force one can on another?
+Ronald Shorey Thank you for stopping by. Have a beautiful day! I used a vise to force them
Now that' looks like a nice way to lose a finger. Happy times! You still have any?
no problem brother
Hey,I am a Norwegian,we have that denatured alcohol here to,and it gives away too much smoke,black stuff that sticks to the tent and to the roof inside boats.The put that stuff in it to avoid people getting alcohol in a not so expensive way.................................................................................So what do you do!?Two choices really,either you produce pure alcohol yourself,or you clean up the grous stuff in the denatured alcohol you buy.Producing pure alcohol is not for people in a hurry,the final product is at least here in Norway about twenty percent cheaper then buying spoiled alcohol from the store.................................................................................
