After making the solid fuel stove, I wanted to make the fuel too. Here is what I came up with. It uses mostly common items and is easy to put together and use for cooking. It burns strongly and will work in all solid fuel stoves. It's also a great fire starter for wet weather. Thanks for watching!

Love this stove ! Great idea ! And I really like the fuel tab; question, how about seeing if crushed (not too fine) charcoal briquettes would substitute for sawdust and see how long it would burn. I do not have access to sawdust but do the charcoal. I think I am going to make it with the charcoal and will let you know how it faired for me. Let me know if you try this. Grandma in Texas

I really like and appreciate your excellent channel. Please correct your statement regarding lids on cups . The boil time of water is identical regardless of the presence of a lid . There's no difference between the boil time with a lid or without a lid . That said ,a lid is good for preventing loss by evaporation and also for keeping debris and bugs out of your water and food.

Oh, this is definitely on the list! I love experimenting with different firestarter and flame extenders, but haven't tried anything with solid fuel tabs yet. My favorite ready-made tinder/ extender (so far) is cotton rounds saturated with coconut oil, dipped and sealed in candle wax... Using them as usual (break open, fluff up, spark) I have gotten 8-10 minute burn time in a stiff breeze. They do get messy in warmer weather, which in Louisiana is 85% of the year lol, but a sandwich baggie or something will keep them from making a mess... And any oil on my fingers just gets rubbed on either my knife blade, or my beard! LOL I did see someone who suggested substituting beeswax; that way you've even got a second potential use for them- emergency calories in a survival situation! Chewing the wax and extracting the calories and large amount of fats from the coconut oil might save your life, who knows.

Instead of a silicone mold (for people who don't have or want to buy a mold). I'm thinking it ought to work...? What are your thoughts on that?

This recipe in a very slightly different form is from WW2, saw dust and gulf wax, poured in to a cardboard tube. However the way point group seems to have spent some time refining the idea in to a nice system.

I'd like to try something similar except for using cardboard toilet paper tubes with corrugated cardboard rolled up and packed inside the tube, wick added for ease of lighting and then dipped in wax several times to fill the voids in the corrugation. Gulf Wax is inherently soft, so a hardness modier can be added, in this case, stearic acid. Just 10% of Stearic Acid added will increase the melt point for higher temperature stability and increase the burn time. Stearic Acid can be easily purchased on Amazon.

@WayPointSurvival

Really good tip with the stearic acid, I wasn't aware of that. These do seem to harden up pretty well with all the other ingredients added but it would be nice to increase that a bit.

We made these too in Boy Scouts. We used cardboard coiled up in a tuna can and covered in wax. They are called Buddy Burners and used in a coffee can Buddy Stove. You cook your food and then snuff out the buddy burner and let it cool. Then you put it back in your pack for the next time. The nice thing is that you don't have to worry about spilled fuel and it is reusable until the cardboard and wax is all gone which is about 5-6 campouts.

Beeswax has an inherently longer burn time as it is harder and has a higher melt temp than paraffin wax. That being said, you could probably make a beeswax burn tab 1/2 the size of the paraffin tab and get the same results!!! I also believe beeswax burns with less smoke but that can also happen due to an improperly trimmed wick!!!

brilliant! 😁 im wondering what your going to diy next! i never thought of this! and with the diy stove... wow! saves money buying a stove and tablets! one question, are you planning on making a larger diy stove for larger cooking utensils like a few mess tins (altho i guess some thought could adapt the smaller one to be a bit bigger!) great work! 😊 great channel 😊 excellent teaching and sharing of knowledge! 😊

For anybody can’t find paraffin wax, maybe broken old crayons that the kids don’t use anymore, or even old lip balm you’re fine in your bags that are too old to want to use for anything else; that sort of thing might do; it’s gonna be fun to experiment with this!
