I made a few of these, they work great. I made mine just a little different: I did not cut the bottom off I just made a few holes around the bottom. I used craft felt I was using at home instead of insulation cause I don't have that.. Whoever came up with this is a genius. I can take this to the park to make water for coffee: we are not allowed to pick sticks up from the ground so they can't complain. I normally use my Firebox it is just a bit more sophisticated. :) Thanks for sharing I am always open to seeing how others make things.
I dont use a stove when I bush craft I just let my fire burn down till its coals and I set my tin cup right on the coals no black on my cup and no smoke in the eyes. Great video
Looking forward to your vid on camp with home made gear. Using gear we made ourselves was how we did it back in the 50'S. Everything we did was just using what we made or re-purposed. I still do it today. Much cheaper and usually as good or better than store bought.
Fantastic and so simple, just what I was looking for, good when I'm out on my bike and fancy a brew. Subbed and looking forward to more great ideas. Big thumbs up from me .
You should put together. A complete ! DIY survival kit. Made from just ( RECYCLED ) materials. Showing how people can make a Bushcraft Survival KIT. And I mean the knife pack the stove. Everything. That way people SEE THAT THERES NO NEED TO BUY THERE GEAR. Just need some imagination. This would be a good series of videos. I think it would be a BIG HIT ! BUT YOU GOT TO MAKE IT ALL ! . . . BUT YOU GET A LOT OF SUBSCRIBERS THEN. Then take out the kit & show people that can survive with it. That would be a whole another series. That would be ongoing. HOW ABOUT IT ?
I have made several of these and have increased the size to a tuna can and a small sweetcorn can. The principal is the same, the burn is the same but the tuna can gives a little more stability.
I made a larger version using a nut can instead of a cat food xan and a soup can instead of a tomato paste can, first use was during a power outage when I cooked my dinner on it while sitting on my deck
American channels buy this 600 dollar cooker you can't live without it. Green-Craft UK you can build your own out of rubbish 😂👍. That is why i love this channel.
Nah, this stove is what "Los Gringos" call "Fancy Feast" stove - named after de cat can food used as "fuel tank", the pot support is the same tomato past can. For the wick they use Carbon Felt mat used by welders, available in every Walmart.
That's a great little stove Neil and thanks for sharing. Got to admit I'm glad I'm not the only who uses fruit shoot style drinks bottles to store their meths in :)
Hands down, the best meth stove ever made. I always use carbon felt in mine. Also, you can save a gram or two by chopping them down to half size. Cheers from Montreal QC Canada.
Brilliant mate. I can use Mr Scissors 😁. I think a guy gave me a similar one though I use it as an ashtray in my shed. I'm a snooper when it comes to skips Good stuff 👍
All you did was to make a Fancy fest ( Cat food can ) stove. As far as finding a stove for emergency use when on the trial and your breaks down. Find a empty can about the size of a standard Tuna Fish can. Pour alcohol in it ( after you clean it ) and you have a stove. A pot holder for it can be as simple as three metal tent steaks.
As far as stoves go the best and most reliable one i've ever had is a trangia, bought it back in the 90..if not late 80s..and it still works as well. Until you run out of meths, but even for a 3/4 nighter it ain't an issue for me taking enough meths. Weighs nowt and packs away into it's own pans, what more could you want? But a little burner stove like this is so simple and it works. And it costs nowt...nice.
Meth we call methanol in the United States. The hole must be for ventilation? Could the inside can be shorter as long as it is taller than the outside can?
According to trangia I believe 1 in to 1 and 1/4 in the absolute best and the burn videos I've seen agree with that you can boil water in about 3 to 4 minutes with the cat can stove the higher you are off the flame the longer it takes, and the closer you are to the bottom can the more smoke you get
Thanks for that 👍. Have made a couple of these myself. Used inside an IKEA Hobo Stove or a folding Bushbox LF .. makes for a very stable Pot Stand / Support (especially when the Pot (such as a 'requisitioned' and suitably modified SS Tea Caddy) fits down inside the Wood Burners). One then also has the Wood Burner alternative as Plan B/A. With the IKEA Hobo Stove, Tea Caddy Pot, this Cat Can Stove, some Tent Pegs / Modified Meat Skewers / SS Bicycle Spokes to act as adjustable Pot Height Supports and a piece of Tin Can cut 180° vertically, holes drilled therein to suit and placed inside the IKEA (as an adjustable wind screen) .. quite a neat, compact little set to take out here. Your idea for an Outing using only Home-Made Gear 👍. Please do .. am looking forward to it 😊. Take care ..
From my point of view the cost of the stove was zero. The cans were trash the scissors they already had on hand and the insulation was trash. No money out of pocket. If you want to spend money buy carbon felt instead of using insulation.
Great project Neil and yes those stoves work great.

Best stove I have ever used . Nice video
I've seen a lot of people REALLY overcomplicate this stove. You made a perfect little stove, and perfectly easy to make! Thanks for the video mate!
I don’t like tomatoe purée 😂😂😂😂 Thanks Neil, excellent as always👍
Really good, I’m definitely gonna try and make one 👍
I dont use a stove when I bush craft I just let my fire burn down till its coals and I set my tin cup right on the coals no black on my cup and no smoke in the eyes. Great video
great vid Neil, going to give it a go.

fancy feast stove.... there are really efficient !
came back to this goodie after today's video. I definitely want to make this!

@@Sokol10 most have you carry overpriced useless stuff they promote and 5.000 rounds of ammunition.
Good vid Neil. Yep, easy to make out of recycling and rubbish, plus works great. I have used one of these for years when out walking locally.
I love that you gave the exact reason for the amount of water!!! That was priceless. 🤣😂
Love your content Neil
This may be my favorite video now. He seems so happy to be doing this
Super stuff. 👍
That was awesome!
Thank you.

Very nice. I’m gonna try this too. Thanks
Good stove Man, Simple to make and it works well. Thanks and take care.
What a great little idea 😊😊x
Nice one Neil. Might give that one a go ! Take care & all the best Neil !
Nice one Niel👏 DIY is great way to go.
Thanks👍🇨🇭
Great job!!
Cool stove
Great item.
Nice one Neil, am definitely going to give that a go. Thanks for sharing 👍
Put some of that glass insulation over the microphone, to silence wind noise.
Really good video, love dyi projects, keep the ideas coming!!
Good design...............You need a shield for the wind. A lot of heat is blowing away.
Thanks Neil.
Thanks again Neil, another fine and useful video! ATB Sam Adler
Thanks for sharing, I will give this a go with my young Nephew 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice one Neil. 😁👌
Need to try that out.
Have a great Weekend buddy.
Cheers, Mike
Another great video...
Awesome and if you see something moving in a skip it's me looking for insolation furry stuff. 😎🐺☮️👍
This is brilliant I’m def gonna try this. Then get some of my group to try it too as a little project
Great idea bro keep it up
How long the fiberglass lasts? Does it burn away? Thanks
These DIY gear videos are always great, Neill!! Keep them coming ;)
That's a great little stove Neil and thanks for sharing.
Got to admit I'm glad I'm not the only who uses fruit shoot style drinks bottles to store their meths in :)
These are great for when it's too windy or dry to risk a brush fire.
Never thought of that one, good idea. If the zombies start attacking I'll join your side. Just hope thay don't drink all the flammable fluids. 👍

FYI, cooking meth is dangerous ☠️😀
Lmfao.
Cool 😎
Brilliant mate.
I can use Mr Scissors 😁.
I think a guy gave me a similar one though I use it as an ashtray in my shed.
I'm a snooper when it comes to skips
Good stuff 👍
how do you put out the fire and pour out what's left?
All you did was to make a Fancy fest ( Cat food can ) stove. As far as finding a stove for emergency use when on the trial and your breaks down. Find a empty can about the size of a standard Tuna Fish can. Pour alcohol in it ( after you clean it ) and you have a stove. A pot holder for it can be as simple as three metal tent steaks.

Neil, i have a question... i cant stop making these stoves, what do i do?!😂
Meth we call methanol in the United States. The hole must be for ventilation? Could the inside can be shorter as long as it is taller than the outside can?
According to trangia I believe 1 in to 1 and 1/4 in the absolute best and the burn videos I've seen agree with that you can boil water in about 3 to 4 minutes with the cat can stove the higher you are off the flame the longer it takes, and the closer you are to the bottom can the more smoke you get
great video, neill!
greetings from cologne, germany
arthur brehm
Thanks.
👍🏻
Doesn't the methanol absorb into the insulation? Doesn't the insulation burn?
No it doesn't, just the fuel burns.
Good , useful video , also liked the white box vid., just sub"d mate :)
I would of suggested that you wear gloves while packing in that insulation.
You don't need gloves, just use carbon felt. You can buy it at Walmart as a welder's mat
👍🏻👍🏻
I have question say you in trouble and you run out of alcohol?
Use wood chips dried grass pine cones they'll work in it too
Thanks for that 👍. Have made a couple of these myself.
Used inside an IKEA Hobo Stove or a folding Bushbox LF .. makes for a very stable Pot Stand / Support (especially when the Pot (such as a 'requisitioned' and suitably modified SS Tea Caddy) fits down inside the Wood Burners). One then also has the Wood Burner alternative as Plan B/A.

Your idea for an Outing using only Home-Made Gear 👍. Please do .. am looking forward to it 😊.
Take care ..

my msr reactor 500 ml in 1.5 minutes :p beat that MacGyver
How long did it take you to make it?
A wood stove makes much more sense than any (WOT THE 'ELL DID HE CAWL IT??) liquid fueled stove.
Hahahahaha it's dead simpel you'd just put it together.
Crap
Instead of buying the food product cans you can buy an alcohol stove from a store for the same price.....
I bought the food....not the cans, they are a waste item (trash) that most would throw away, that is the point
From my point of view the cost of the stove was zero. The cans were trash the scissors they already had on hand and the insulation was trash. No money out of pocket. If you want to spend money buy carbon felt instead of using insulation.
