Waypoint, Can one just use the gallon can and modify all the other components to make a stove like three cans that fit into each other? You did that in another video about the Hobo Rocket Stove.

It’s 10:35pm at night. I’m in my pajamas in my back yard making a hobo stove out of a peach can. Life is good.

I do this with a smaller can like one size down. A little different but what I do is before you cut open a large can take your church key and put about six to eight holes around the top of the can. Then open the can on the same end.pour the food into a pan . You might spill a little but it is easy er to make the holes first. Now you have a can with holes on one end and the top removed turn it over and make 6 to 8 holes on the other end . If you want to you can use a nail to make holes on that end too the stoves is now done . Put your stereo on the ground or on a stump . Or a flat rock and the can open side down over the can .place pan over stove and enjoy. You don't need the square hole in the side and this stove is more portable because the can is smaller. I love your videos wish I knew how to make them to I'm 70 years old and have lived through many hard times . I have a lot of good tricks for all the hobos out there .I like that name better than homeless

Excellent idea! I would love to hear more of your ideas!

I think making a little rectangle tray with a rim and handle that you can sit the fuel can on, then slide out the fuel canister out when done would be nice, maybe making it out of a metal spatula just trimming down the handle and folding up the corners on the flat part of the spatula to create a choke point so the fuel can doesn't slide off the back when you pull it out.

This stove looks far more stable than others I've seen.

Something you may not have considered, but perhaps you have is that this is a great thing to have stored away for those of us that get hurricanes. Weeks with no power to cook or boil water is brutal! Having this can and a nice backup of fuel in readiness would be awesome. Must have a backup of food and water as well.

Forgot about this stove. . Made me think of additional uses for this. Just in case your lights went out, one could use this as an emergency stove to heat things with, at home. that have electric cook stoves, at home. Also, something for you to try, put a Coleman camping oven on top and see the max heat of that oven. Leave this in your cabinet as an emergency heater for cooking and now maybe baking with a Coleman oven on top. Maybe use a couple to heat up a closed-off room, with lights out.A survival use at home..James, I am 70 yrs old now, but survived 3 weeks at home with no electric services.

you can use denatured alcohol be careful not to bend the insert where the wick is. Also be sure not to put the lid on until it is cool otherwise you will melt the rubber seal and the fuel will run out. I would suggest putting them in a plastic bag in case they do. It works with most stoves that use wood also for fuel. Great idea this stove, love the size never thought to make one like it!

Our eleven and fifteen-year-olds practice cooking, fire-making and even harvesting potable water from cut-off banana trees near our Philippine home.

I have refilled those canisters with a mix of hand sanitizer and 90% isopropyl with good results, you can also get a qt of gel fire starter for about $12 that lasts the better part of a season, its heavier but easier to carry than alcohol which is prone to leaking

There is really no place for the large amount of smoke from a wood fire to escape.

@@LN031 I took a very early retirement in The Republic of the Philippine Islands. I pinch my peso coins tightly so that when there is a "must have" imported item, we can afford the wicked import duties and VAT taxes. Much of our gear is mix & match from local DIY stores and online shopping here in SE Asia. We have found a few products at the Daiso of Japan shops in some of our malls. Occasionally, a few small camping items must get shipped to the Phils by mistake and we grab what we find. Unfortunately, Daiso does not stock the camping products in Philippine stores that they do in Japan. Many items we have purchased from my brother-in-law if he wins a lot at one of the local Japanese surplus auctions where he obtains stock for his reselling business. Very few American-made products are on the shelf here and when we find them, be prepared to pay! I would suggest you look for your stainless camping pots and pans online or at small shops selling imported goods from countries such as India. We have found some excellent, low-price cookware from India at a local DIY store. Sorry that I can not be more helpful. I think it will be difficult for you to find the same things we have here just as we have a hard time locating American made.
