You can avoid the blackening of your pots just by coating the outside with a small amount of liquid dish soap before you cook with it. The black easily washes off when you are done.
🌷Living in North Pole Alaska here, my house kitchen is my grid down kitchen. When I moved in here 40 some odd years ago. The power would go off for a Month at a time so when I remodeled the all electric house and kitchen, I Installed a propane cook stove and a wood stove to heat the house. I just need a bug out stove. 🏡😊
Thank you for your survival lessons presented in your gentle way. Im q new prepper and have come a ling way since I started watching these channels. Don't want to be scared, just prepared for my family.
Way back when I was in Girl Scouts we wiped liquid dishwashing detergent on the bottom of our pots and pans to keep the soot from sticking to the pan. This was back in the late ‘50’s/early ‘60’s. We have a small percolating drip coffee pot at home that has come in handy without electricity. We also made a “Buddy burner”. made from a tall Hawaiian Punch can with one end removed. You use an old fashioned can opener.( the part to punch triangular pour holes to cut four holes along the bottom edge and three holes on the opposite top side where the lid is still attached. You use an empty tuna can with rolled up corrugated cardboard inside of it covered with melted parafin for your fire. We cooked a sausage paddy on the Buddy burner first, then an egg.
Just a note. For the Suite on the pan. When you do the alcohol or a campfire , to make it EASY to CLEAN UP! COAT the OUT SIDE of the pan with SOAP. Recommend, bar bath soap. Suggest Unscented (like ivory). To your comment about no flame adjustment. Just raise up, or lower the pan or rack.
Thank you for the video. For alcohol I use denatured alcohol or go to the liquor store and buy Everclear 190 proof, they both burn hot and clean and with Everclear you can also use it as an antiseptic and for a cocktail to knock the edge off of a life and death day of survival and as a pain killer in a emergency.
Excellent. Finally something practical. Have been doing alcohol cooking for years. Alcohol and #1 diesel heating also. Caution, if you know that you are stupid, don’t do this.
I've been binge-watching your shows and forgot to note on an earlier video, good job frying an egg on cast iron over open flame, Chef! I'm glad you showed the left over water in the alcohol stove. Something I hadn't expected. Thank you for showing the soot build up, too...🇺🇸 👍☕
I learned a lot of these things back in 2021 but when you live in a city and dont use that knowledge, its easy to forget. I actually bought that Stanley coffee press but may have forgotten how to use it. We had tornados come through Omaha a couple of days ago. 40,000 have been without power for 2 days already. This is a GREAT REMINDER on how to keep cooking and surviving ❤
THANK YOU for the links that you put below video..... I urge anyone to vist those links.....I have most of that already.....but..... gonna get more Lodge and also other things ...yup.... thanks..... give me a link to the best buy on butane fuel for the camp stove in that kitchen??
I didn't know that Cafe Bustelo had an instant version! I usually use Gold Medal Espresso for my instant, but will look for the Cafe Bustelo now! Ole'!
Chef Prepper, I love this! I have saved many of your videos and this one will be added to my collection! You have a wonderful way of presenting information in an easy to understand manner. Thank you!
Just stumbled onto this video in my feed. Awesome! I never even knew there was such a thing as a fire blanket for home use! I immediately subscribed and went to Amazon to order this very important item! Thank you so much for sharing! Extremely helpful video!
Tea candles are another option. A roll of cardboard soaked in wax works too. I prefer sterno to all the rest if im not using a gas stove. Or outdoor of course firewood.
We have been campers for years and we found if we rub the bottom and sides of a saucepan with a light dish soap (film) it helps with the cleanup of the pan so much easier. Thank you for the video, gave me some more ideas. Liz
This may be a silly question, but have you ever boiled dry beans on this? I see so many talking about storing dry beans but if you don't have power how would you fully cook them? They take 3 hours to cook, over an hour if you soak them overnight.
No, I don't think these type of stoves would be a good choice for cooking dry beans. I suppose it could be done, but would take a lot of fuel. Would probably be better to use commercial stove (butane or propane) and use a pressure cooker. Or, use canned beans.
Good informative video. I noticed your individual instant coffee packets. These are quite expensive. As a diabetic I accumulate a lot of test strip canisters, which are very sturdy and watertight. Three grams of Folgers instant in one of those canisters makes a great cup of coffee at a huge savings over the store bought packets.
I love this idea! The only thing that concerns me is that I have coil stoves so I wouldn't know where I could put it that it wouldn't overheat the surface that covers the coils. Also, I heard somewhere else about cutting cardboard into strip about the same width as whatever tuna or chicken can you're going to use and then pour wax in there as fuel. Would that not last longer?
I think a lot of people use alcohol, they just usually use a commercially made alcohol stove like the Trangia or something similar. Those type of stoves are a little safer to use, especially if you are not on a good solid, flat surface. But DIY stoves like these can come in very handy in emergencies. I haven't ever measured any Carbon Monoxide from alcohol fuels. But still you should have a Carbon Monoxide Detector if using any alternative fuels indoors.
Didn't know Stanley made a French press , but noticed it seems to be made of plastic ,i love a French press but must be glass and stainless steel only and trust me u can taste the difference been using the 50 yrs
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS Use a cover on the can before adding fuel. In daylight, you can have a flame even though it looks like it has gone out already and that could be disastrous.
I will try that 4 minute and four seconds or as close to it as I can get the next time. The French Press I have is a Stanley. I think I got it from Amazon. I have had it for several years. I really like it for when I am only want to make a couple cups of coffee.
I woukd stay away from the dollar tree or one like it grate/rack. Those things are too flimsy to mess with for hot liquids. Look for a more heavy duty one thats harder to bend. Or else maybe double up the cheap bendy one. Plus for those that dont know it. You wantt to keep those unopen cans away from the heat. They can ex. Plowed (spelled wrong on purpose) . But usually take a lot of heat. Back as kid we thru a few in a campfire for science of course. And they bust and jump and open real nice in a campfire.
Personally, I'm very hesitant of buying anything important like a lighter or matches from the dollar store. From my experience, they have a very high rate of not working
I have bought the three pack of lighters for years and they all have worked perfectly. I use on a daily basis lol. The matches are good as well.. They’re the same ones Walmart sell. Though I do believe Walmart has them for a little cheaper, a few cents.. But same company and packaging. So go ahead and stock up!!
@@Momma4210 your anecdotal story doesn't mean much to me since I also have several lighters and matches from them. About half the lighters don't even work right out of the box, and about three out of four matches won't light no matter how many times I try to strike them and will fall apart long before they ever strike a flame
If you would like to buy me a cup of coffee: buymeacoffee.com/ChefPrepper
You can avoid the blackening of your pots just by coating the outside with a small amount of liquid dish soap before you cook with it. The black easily washes off when you are done.
Thanks for the info. I will try it!
Thank you for the suggestion
Thats what I learned when we went camping as kids.
Finally someone not freaking out about the latest things you won't be able to get/panic/fear mongering. Just good info.
Probably the most straightforward and informative video compared to the countless other TH-camrs out there.
Added to my playlist.
Thank you. Glad it was helpful.
i am blown away at how easy it is to make a stove.. just rubbing alcohol?!! wow..

For the Suite on the pan. When you do the alcohol or a campfire , to make it EASY to CLEAN UP!
COAT the OUT SIDE of the pan with SOAP.
Recommend, bar bath soap. Suggest Unscented (like ivory).
To your comment about no flame adjustment. Just raise up, or lower the pan or rack.
Thank you for the info about the soap.
Raising and lowering will adjust the heat, just hard to do after you start cooking, but can be done.
Why bar soap instead of liquid?
I believe my folks used liquid dish soap to coat pans/coffee pot when camping.
Thank you for the video. For alcohol I use denatured alcohol or go to the liquor store and buy Everclear 190 proof, they both burn hot and clean and with Everclear you can also use it as an antiseptic and for a cocktail to knock the edge off of a life and death day of survival and as a pain killer in a emergency.
Lol. Great advice.
You can buy 10 boxes of matches for $1.25 there
Yes one of the best buys at Dollar Tree

Thnx and especially for mentioning the fire safety items too.
You are welcome.
Chef Prepper, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!
Thank you IOSALive! And Welcome to our channel!
I do have a couple sterno stoves and cans of sterno
You do have flame adjustment on a stove like this - raising or lowering the rack the pot sits on.
Ya know, if you take a wool welders blanket and cut it the circumference and hight then line the can, you will save ALOT of alcohol!
THANK YOU for the links that you put below video..... I urge anyone to vist those links.....I have most of that already.....but..... gonna get more Lodge and also other things ...yup.... thanks..... give me a link to the best buy on butane fuel for the camp stove in that kitchen??
This was great! Thanks! I live in an apartment, and many things, like propane stoves, are prohibited!
Glad it was helpful!

Your oven rack works well and is very sturdy for this style of cooking.
Yes, true, true idea.

Great ideas. Sounds like you have a some experience in such things!
Thank you so much, I'm learning all I can the last couple of years. Praying we all stay safe and have food to eat.
We have been campers for years and we found if we rub the bottom and sides of a saucepan with a light dish soap (film) it helps with the cleanup of the pan so much easier. Thank you for the video, gave me some more ideas. Liz
You are welcome! I will be trying your idea, thank you.
i really learned and enjoyed this video! thank you so much
You are welcome! I am glad it was helpful.
That was a reallu good video. Thanks. Didnt knlw about the alchol can.
Thank you, glad it was helpful.
You can adjust the flame by lowering the amount of alcohol in the can
Lowering the amount of alcohol will only shorten the burn time in my experience
Great demonstration. I learn something each time you put a video out.
Thank you. I am glad you find our videos helpful.

Coat the bottom of your pan with bar soap suds before putting over flame to make cleanup easy.

Your videos are so full of great information. Thank you for the time you put into them.
Thank you even for showing us your mistakes. We learn also.
I have a lot of left over sanitizer. How well does it work?
Thank you,this is very smart,very knowledgeable, for someone who might not know hoe to survive,ty for your teaching.ty
You are very welcome
Maybe put a piece of metal over part of can to adjust heat some
It will probably work, but be careful and don't get burned.
I love this idea! The only thing that concerns me is that I have coil stoves so I wouldn't know where I could put it that it wouldn't overheat the surface that covers the coils.
Also, I heard somewhere else about cutting cardboard into strip about the same width as whatever tuna or chicken can you're going to use and then pour wax in there as fuel. Would that not last longer?
Very nice.
I have Used one before.
Works well.
Yeah, can come in very handy and is actually kinda fun to use.
Thank you for watching.
Why do more campers not use the alcohol tuna can stove? What about Co carbon Monoxide compared to other fuels?
I think a lot of people use alcohol, they just usually use a commercially made alcohol stove like the Trangia or something similar.
Those type of stoves are a little safer to use, especially if you are not on a good solid, flat surface. But DIY stoves like these can come in very handy in emergencies.
I haven't ever measured any Carbon Monoxide from alcohol fuels. But still you should have a Carbon Monoxide Detector if using any alternative fuels indoors.
Thank you sir !
Most welcome!
You are very helpful.
yup....100%
Thinking out of the box Good job
nice. thanks.
This was actually informative. I didn’t think of this way, thank you!
You are welcome.
What is themname of the liquid you put in the Alcohol the red. Ct
It was the same Rubbing Alcohol.
In the toilet paper stove could you roll newspaper up in a tight roll and use it instead of toilet paper?
I made some buddy burners, alcohol burners. They will sit in a baking pan with a rack over. Also oil candles with thick wicks.
Thank you for this! Great advice.
You are welcome!
Nice but it seems like more than 30 % water in that alcohol. Have you tried the yellow bottles of gas dryer from the dollar tree ???
That is awesome and thanks for sharing this we’ll help people who don’t know about this
You are welcome! And Thanks for watching!
Great work bud.👍

Thanks
You are welcome.
Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Thank you and Yah's Blessings to you and yours.
How long does this mini stove burn?
Depends on the amount of alcohol, but with an ounce of alcohol about 10-12 minutes or so.
Thank you good post
You're welcome! and thank you for watching.
THKS
Good info
Thank you, I am glad it was helpful.
Didn't know Stanley made a French press , but noticed it seems to be made of plastic ,i love a French press but must be glass and stainless steel only and trust me u can taste the difference been using the 50 yrs
Yes the Press is plastic and I will keep that in mind if I get another one. Thank you for the info.
Thank you for your video
You are welcome and thank you for watching and commenting.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS Use a cover on the can before adding fuel. In daylight, you can have a flame even though it looks like it has gone out already and that could be disastrous.
Perfect time for the coffee to brew is 4 min and 4 sec., according to coffee experts. Where did you get your French press?
I will try that 4 minute and four seconds or as close to it as I can get the next time.
The French Press I have is a Stanley. I think I got it from Amazon. I have had it for several years.
I really like it for when I am only want to make a couple cups of coffee.

Match inefficiency is a result of federally mandated changes in the formula. Don't you feel safer?
Rocket stove
70% doesn't burn well...91% is better.
Yes, the higher the alcohol content, the cleaner the burn. You can also use 50%, but you will have water left over after the flame goes out.
No ❤s on comments?
Seriously?
@ng3069 seriously I don't see 1 heart ♥ on any comments
Feelin a need for validation are we?
@@DonalldArmentor nope not at all
Thanks for keeping check. It is good to know someone is watching such things.

Always appreciated Crisservin!
Great job , love the video .🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🌴😎🌴
Thank you and you are welcome!
Looks dangerous. I did not like seeing that flame billowing so high.
More dangerous than commercial stoves. You have to be cautious, and have the proper safety equipment.
No way i will have a power outage , click on video because i saw Fire in thumbnail 😂
Thank you
