A little vid showing you lot how easy it is to make these little penny stoves. Once you get the hang of it they take no longer than 20 minutes. Would be nice to see a few of you having a go.

Well organized presentation and easy to understand instructions. I've made a number of similar penny can stoves and have been very pleased with them. I've literally burned over a gallon of fuel in one of them and it's still "going strong." As a matter of interest, now two years back a friend of mine used one of the stoves I made to cook his food after a hurricane in south Florida knocked out his power for a week.
Thank you kindly sir. Everyone should have one of these for that exact reason. ATB.
There are many videos in You tube, but yours is the easy and well explained I found.
Thank's and good job!!
Thanks, very kind of you to say so. ATB.
Thank you Sir,,,,your's is by far the best and easiest design. Keep those videos coming. I have chosen to follow you,,all the way from New York,USA,,,,,haha,,LOL GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Thanks Frank. Much appreciated my friend. Great name by the way, my brother is a Frank. ATB.
The bean lid/ primer plate was a great idea 👍🏼
Thanks Justin 👍🏻
Thanks Justin 👍🏻
The very best, I personally have watched hours of alcohol stove videos. I've made four types my self, this is the best all things considered ☝😉
This appears the safest
This is the best style in my opinion, easy to make too. ATB Paul.
put your holes in the top before you put the 2 peices together that way you dont cause air pressure which splits your can!
Top tip mate, cheers. ATB Mark.
Best one I have seen. Great job.
Thanks Mark much appreciated. ATB.
Thank you for answering my question. After thinking about it awhile, I concluded that 16 probably would be the best number of holes to have. There nice and symmetrical around the can, and anymore would probably just eat up fuel at a faster rate.
Thanks again! God Bless & Stay Safe. C-Ya!!!
Simple and effective. Good show amigo.
+carlito1ish - Cheers amigo. ATB.
So simple, brilliantly demonstrated. Thanks very much.B.
Nice job - easy to understand video - thanks for posting
Thanks. ATB Mark.
Like your design and simplicity of explaining how to make it.
Cheers Doug. ATB Mark.
Great work! Btw if you put the hole on the inside of the tin, it concentrates the flames and makes it more efficient
Great job! That's the cleanest penny stove I have ever seen. Makes me kinda jealous when I look at mine now.
Thanks, took me a while to get them to look good. ATB Mark.
wow this is the best one I've seen. the others are hard except you. this helped alot. I will give it 10 out of 10
+Angelo Yu - Thanks man, glad to be of some help. ATB.
Mine split on my first attempt, need to get more cans..
But i think if you put one half in the freezer and heat up the other one they will slide in much easier. That's how i used to replace crackshaft on moped. Worth a try.
I never had a problem with mine. Just take it easy and should fit perfectly 👍🏻
Excellent little stove, just one small thing....put your burner holes in first to avoid risking splitting the can when you push it together. Just a thought. Great little stove 😊😊
+Ashley Cartledge - Cheers. Good idea. ATB.
+All About The Views no problem mate, just thought it'd make things easier, stops the air pressure splitting the can, or at least it should do lol

I'm liking that a lot. Never seen anything like it before and such a simple idea. Nice work mate.
Cheers Matt. Very simple when you get the hang of it. Do you want one? I will make you one. ATB Mark.
Cheers mate. I'm going to give it a go myself. I don't really need one but just have to give it a go.
Best one I've seen! Thanks bro!
Cheers bud. ATB Mark.
Works excellent, I've made 8 of them and finally found the fuel at a hardware superstore. Boils water quick if you just do 1-2 cups at a time.
Brilliant tip the bottom part to start it. Now it works great!
that was nice and easy. thank you for sharing
a good bit of glass wool inside the can help stabilize the fuel inside, and avoid flare-ups.
Brilliant video, i'm definitely going to try it NEW SUBSCRIBER
Good stuff pal, Penny stoves are all i have ever used when out backpacking, easy to make and meths is cheap as chips (literally £2.50 for 1ltr) so its good to see other people trying them out, take it easy mate ~ Ben
Cheers Ben. I haven't tried these out camping yet but I'm confident they will be great for mild conditions, cheap as chips as you say as well. ATB Mark.
Nice. i'll do this for my stove.
great vid , very easy to follow and well explained think I will have a go at making one just to see if i can. thanks for sharing atb steve
You should have a go Steve. If I can make one anybody can. ATB Mark.
Super helpful, and I love that ruler btw!!
Ha ha yeah its a very manly ruler. ATB.
+All About The Views hahahaha
Where oh where did you get that manly as hell ruler? It's awesome to see manly things created with girly tools. Flies in the face of all the usual idiots and their "survivalist" chest thumping BS.
it probably is one of his kid's rulers for school.
@@Steveorino123 really? no kidding? it's not HIS???!!!
Carling stove crew!
Recognised it from the thubnail lol.
😂 Got it in one 👍🏻
Thanks for verifying neither silicone sealer or fiberglass insulation is needed for a good build.
During the initial burns of the stove, the ink layer between the two parts will become enough of an adhesive to seal them........works a treat !
very nice!! but the more the cans have a high side the more heat you should give to keep the alcohol vapor to rise to the holes! so try to make them lower and is definitely easier to light up
+bassel AL moukaddem cheers and thanks for the advise. ATB.
i used to do it the same way as you. but i have since learned to stretch the outside can with a third unoppened can by just gently pushing the cut can onto the bottom of the unopened one.
also it is a bit easier to get the two halfs put together if you make your center holes first, as it allows the air to flow through as they are pushed together
Good video, thanks for sharing.
Cheers Kirk. ATB Mark.
you need a hole in the top to let the compressed out
A hole where?
Oooo. Get you!
I know check me out. Been obsessed with them ever since you made me one mate.
at 11:44 the flames are floating!
iv made one of these but they keep going out or don't work as it should, back to the wood stove lol.cheers, good clear video
+Rickalls Bushcraft - Thanks. ATB.
Yours is far more efficient and cleaner burning than mine. I made mine before your video though so I may try again and see if I can duplicate yours. :D
Thanks. It was all about practice. My first few attempts were awful. ATB Mark.
CHEBSOOT
My first few with other methods were bad too. Half worked, if not all that well. First one after this vid worked perfect (Had to use a few cans) But have built 4 and all work perfect! Thumbs up!
hey i like that i can use alchol for that
The best I saw ... !!! ... Thanks.
+claudiomar santos - Thank you.
FUKIN BRILLIANT BEST ONE IVE SEEN love the primer base New Suscriber
bigearedmouse17 Cheers mate, appreciate it. ATB Mark.
well done!!! glad I saw it!!
+MrSIXGUNZ - Thanks.
If you would nick a starter/centerhole in one end, that you would later broaden and use for filling, it would make it much easier to slide the two can-halves together, and not trap a load of air in them. Thumbs up anyway!
tanks
Great vid bud ,,, cracking wee stove, very nicely made ,, cheers Gaz
Cheers Gaz. ATB Mark.
All About The Views I made a stand
After watching several videos I really like your priming the stove using the bean can lid. Have you tried isopropyl alcohol in your stove?
How much fuel do you fill the stove?. Great video, thank you!
I freaking love it its ginius
vân anh Vo ha ha that is my daughters ruler, its the only one I could find. Small nails will be fine for making the holes. Thanks and ATB.
Yes!
Yaaaaaaaaas 👍🏻
I LIKE CATFISH IT IS WARM
4:03 "be carful with these the edges are just like razor blades and there'll have you'r fingers off"
Oh yeah, lethal.
Nice ruler you have! 😎😜
Glad you like it.
Good job.
+Michael Jordan - Thanks.
hi its better if you put a cotton inside the can so it will have better heat coming out the holes. and thanks i can us this thing for our camping this january 2015. i will share it all over the scouts of the philippines.
Glad you like it.
CHEBSOOT I can start a business with this can stove. I very like this
What a brilliant and easy idea. Can anyone tell me exactly how much Meths was put into the penny stove?
+Philip Wright - Thanks. I think I put about 20ml in. Doesn't need much. ATB.
thank you very much for this video!!!
You are very welcome.
I'd like to remove the paint from the can afterwards, because it will stink at the first few burns if you don't do that.
daand12 with sand paper scrub the paint off. Keep working on it till you got a nice smooth finish.
Nice ruller you got there
Nice job!
Thank you.
cool
Thanks.
Greetings from the states! I know this is an older video, but where do i find carling beer?!?! I cant find decent beer in the us of a! I tried drinking beer, and used the bear grills method to make this stove. The wild life keeps laughing and my stove dies out too quick :(
Please over look what might seem to be a stupid question, but is there any reason (other than symmetry) that you'd only put 16 holes around the top of the can?
I'm just wondering.
Thomas Pigg That's just the number of holes that I thought it would need. Never tried making one with more or less. ATB.
That is so neat !!! Do you know how long one fill up will burn ?? I will try this for sure. Thanks for showing us how it's made.. ATB Maria
Thank Maria. I have had well over 10 minutes of burn time from one of these. So cheap and easy to make as well. ATB Mark.
Make the stove taller to hold as much alcohol as needed to fry eggs in a small skillet. A sturdy pot stand is needed though.
please can you tell me what type of alcohol you put in that stove???
I put methylated spirits in mine
Nice mate
Thanks.
Very simple to do. 👍 tks for sharing. Crack on 👍.
Thanks Carlos.
very thanks but i dont undesrtand this alcol what i do with alcol please help me i like this so no pay nothing free no pay this good i love but i dont understand what i do with alcol
Hi Thanks for posting - im trying to teach our scouts how to make this but I cant tell how much fuel is needed. Can you advise please?
Mine only take about 100ml. Will burn for about 5 - 10 minutes depending on conditions. ATB Mark.
If it is filled up to the center holes, it will spit unburned alcohol and make a mess when that alcohol hits something and ignites. I consider mine full enough at one ounce. Also, I made my holes smaller and had 1/2” flames that were not leaping off the jets. I had fun building seven variations just to see what hole size and placement worked best.
... didn't said how much quantity of ethanol and how many oxygen to mix together to warm-up one Litter of water.
BESIDES: is possible to pre heat-up the ethanol + oxygen from THE TOP .And avoid to heat it from under the mini stove .I think.
Does Carling Brewing Company still make 'Big Cat' malt liquor with the higher percent of alcohol?
Not a clue. ATB.
Carling only do normal standard larger and cider in the UK I don't think they ever released a premium strength lager over here.
Shavenhamster
Oh, but they did at one time, in the 70's.
Carling Special Brew.
Stalkers love this
What?
My first one exploded lol. Working on the second one.
Exploded? Holy shit lol.
Thats the method the North Koreans use to perfect their rockets. Keep building until they get one that doesn’t explode. Then cheer about the success.
cool 😎
+nbenj100 - cheers. ATB.
Hi can u tell that if u can put a pot on it like that
+Thomas williams - I have. Its a bit wobbly but still works just fine. ATB.
Great stuff mate. Think I will make one and do a video response so you can see my efforts. Is it just a case of having to wait for it to burn out or is there a way of extinguishing this if you don't want it on any more?
Not really much you can do other than covering it with a wet cloth or letting it burn out mate. If you play with the amount of fuel you put in you can pretty much judge a boil or how long you need it to burn for. Be good to see what you come up with. ATB Mark.
CHEBSOOT best
can you make a video on how to make a stand but brilliant video tho
+Jcable Thanks. I have no idea how to make a pot stand. Never really needed one.
+Jcable 4 tent pegs stuck in the ground with the burner in the middle
To Gem Barrogo. For some reason I can't reply to your comment. The fuel goes in the holes in the middle before covering with the penny, just a little bit at a time till almost full. ATB Mark.
CHEBSOOT parabéns, eu gostei
저는ㅈAll About The Views
I suppose it would work with just a single center hole then thread in a machine screw after filling. Probably could not call it a penny stove though.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Can you put a pot directly on top or does it need a pot stand? Also guessing a windshield is needed for windy days to light the primer meths in bean lid?
I used to just put my small pot straight on top. Also a windshield is a must.
@@allabouttheviews thanks! I just made one of these with two Guiness cans. Also cut each can side out and joining them together with a stapler to shape a crude circular windshield/pot stand. Used a hole punch to make air holes in it and two tent pegs punched through to hold pot above the stove. Works a charm. Boils a cup in just under 4 mins and the whole system only weighs 102g including cup, lighter, penny, stove and windshield. Awesome for a wild camp! Thanks again for the inspiration 🙏
@@robertbaldwin177 more than welcome mate. Makes me happy that people are still finding this video useful 7 years later 👍🏻
Get vid. Do you not need some sort of wick inside the can? Fibreglass perhaps?
I don't bother but you can, think it just soakes up the alcohol and burns a little better. ATB Mark.
Lance Flanagan I wouldn't recommend fiberglass as there are possible issues with unwanted fumes. A wick isn't needed due to the fact that these stoves work by converting liquid fuel to gas fuel and not a wick.
you do a good simple job of explaining, you should be teaching....
Cheers Dave.
I live on the streets of Camden, NJ, USA, and attempting to make this to make my own dinners. What can I use as fuel?
Methyl Hydrate
What did you fill in the stove which liquid??
+Harsahej Singh - Methylated spirit I think.
How do you keep the fuel source from leaking around the seal ?
Never had any problems myself. Could put a bit of heat resistant silicone on to seal it up. ATB.
After the first use the paint on the inside can will melt and create a seal between the two cans. That's what was said in a different video anyway!
hi very nice vid. and stove, i made some very similar but i added some holes on the sides, since it kept going out if i placed a large pot on top of it.
but a single question, what's the point with the penny? besides the name, i guess if my pot is on a riser it makes sense, but otherwise the pot blocks the fuel holes in the middle right?
Thanks Nicolai. Good question. I'm not really sure what the penny does orther than to block the holes where the fuel goes in. Maybe the pressure is greater with the penny over the holes to force the fuel out of the jets. I have never tried it without the penny. ATB Mark.
CHEBSOOT Yep, the penny is all about creating pressure.
it work with denatured alcohol? also, the priming pan at the bottom, does it need to keep the fire or not?
Yes it will. The priming pan will burn out after about 20-30 seconds. Only need a little bit of fuel in there to get things going. ATB Mark.
CHEBSOOT thanks for the very interesting and useful learning video.. and prompt reply !! :) pls keep sharing !!
You're welcome. Anytime my friend.
what types of oil do you use pls
+muktar yunusa - Not oil. Needs alcohol to burn. I think I used methylated spirit.
Goes out when I put pan on it. Any suggestions. Got 16 holes as well
You need a pot stand.you are smothering it
+Danny Phillips Either make the holes a bit lower or make a pot stand. I've never had a problem, but I only use a mine with a 750ml pot. Its pretty small.
+All About The Views thanks. Will give it a shot. I do believe I was smothering it. Pan was a little overkill for it.
Danny Phillips google pot stand for stoves
Can you just use Sterno fluid? Or what's the best thing to use?
+ATKM 110 - No idea what sterno fluid is. I used methylated spirit but many other things can be used. Just youtube all the other vids for penny stoves to see what was used.
Can small nails work too?
That's cool. Will zippo fluid work ok?
Thanks. Not sure about lighter fluid, I have used meths and bio-ethanol fuel only and both work great. ATB Mark.
How long does it burn? What is the most preferred alcohol (can one use petrol / diesel)?
Shiva Shanker
Petrol yes but it dose have a strong smell and you will not get blue flames causing your pan to get black marks on them. Diesel is harder to set alight and will take a lot of time.
Don’t use gasoline. Baaaaad results.
wwhat is the coin for? what kind of alcohol can be used?
jet ponte ... The coin keeps the center holes from burning alcohol. A slight pressure is achieved by heating the alcohol to vapor and forcing it out the rim holes. Without the coin, the center holes would likely sap that pressure thus making the rim holes burn weaker. However when a pot is placed directly on the top, it would snuff out the flame coming out of the center holes, so actually the coin would not be needed unless a pot stand is used to elevate the pot above the stove surface.
and i have a question how can i stop it burning? because i want to get it fast as much as possible because i can't get it burning and with a high temperature?
I don't normally put mine out. I just let it burn out of fuel. You could cover it with a damp cloth to put it out quickly.
CHEBSOOT can i use the blade to cut the can because it is easier and faster?
You can. It is faster but I found I got neater results with cutting it with scissors.
You can make a "fire extinguisher" out of another can bottom which you place over the burning one to stop it....let a small handle on the bottom for convenient use...
Great video Ches. Can we use white spirit as the fuel?
Thanks. Not sure, give it a try.
Yes.
water?
When i place my pot on the stove it goes out, any clues?
Not a clue. Try putting the holes lower down. ATB
Turns out this stove needs a pot stand because air cant circulate if you place the pot on top of the stove. I built a fancyfeast stove and it works x10 better.
Great job mate thanks
Thanks Paul. ATB Mark.
"Or my WIFU GONNA KILL MEEE!!!"
Jets are too big..but I like it anyway...
That pin is called a thumbtack
it's actually called a "push pin". a thumbtack has a flat round thin head so you can push it in easily with your thumb. the push pin stands up and comes in different colors for marking specific areas. using a thumbtack to make the holes in the can would be a pain. what I want to know is what do you do with this little stove? where would a person use it? if you have access to the fuels needed seems to me you'd most likely have more convenience items around such as a stove, no?
For how many minutes does it burn? (give or take)
It will burn for about 10 minutes when full of fuel.
