DIY - How To Make An AXE Can Alcohol Stove

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

An easy to follow "how-to" video showing how to make a cool alcohol stove out of an AXE Body Spray can. It has a built in priming tray and achieves full bloom very quickly! Sturdy and lightweight, this little stove is ideal for the "do it yourself" backpacker, hiker, or prepper who looks for durability, compactness, and light weight in their cooking system. Weighing in at .7 ounces, this stove may not be the lightest out there, but at under an ounce it's weight to durability ratio is excellent. It also makes a perfect companion to the homemade aluminum can pots that many of us find appealing, such as the good old Heine pot and the Foster's pots. It doesn't boast the fastest boiling time out of the many alcohol stoves out there, but it is incredibly efficient and burns for almost 20 minutes using 1 ounce of fuel.
Features & Specs:
Weight - .7 ounces
Size - 1 3/4" x 2"
Fuel Capacity - 1 1/2 ounces
16 Upward Angled Jets
Built-in Self-Priming Pan
30 Second "Bloom" Time
Burn Time:
1/2oz = 8.5 mins.
1oz = 18.5 mins.
Boil Time:
1 Cup (8oz) = 4:20 mins.
2 1/2 Cups (20oz) = 11.5 mins.

    Hi John. I made my first alcohol stove according to your how-to video and it works great! It was very easy to make and boil time is very fast. Btw, when I picked up the denatured alcohol at the hardware store I spotted the 1-gallon paint can grids and got the idea to use it as a pot stand for the stove and it worked very well. It could also serve a dual purpose as a backpacker's bbq gril but I haven't tested that yet. The grids are very cheap and lightweight. My only concern is how well the aluminum grid will stand up to prolonged heat. Thanks again for all your great ideas.

    So making this stove and the Fosters Beer pot were absolute 10/10 on the difficulty scale. By far some of the most difficult things I have ever done. Seeding one cylinder into another cylinder of the exact same diameter is exceedingly difficult. There's no adjective to describe how difficult it is. But it is done.

If you have an idea, even if it is stupid, its always worth the adventure because you expand your knowledge along the way

    Yay, made mine! I made one modification. Since I had the drill out I added 2 holes in the bottom of the little cup around the fill hole. Turns the cup into an integral funnel. I've only done one test burn, so haven't figured out the efficiency yet... it did smell a bit like Axe for the first burn. Most of my pots are a bit wider, so I'm going to need to figure out a pot stand somehow to feel confident using it where the ground isn't perfectly flat, firm and level.

I didn't read all the pages of comments so sorry is someone already mentioned this, but I like to use a contact lens solution bottle for my fuel bottle so I don't have to have an extra funnel. Just a thought you might want to try. Anyway great video. I am a new subscriber so just going through the old vids and really enjoying them. Cheers.

    Good video if anyone wants to make one from a Coca Cola can as everyone probably has a can in their home anyway you will need 2 cans you will need to mark off the bottoms off 2 of them one line higher than the other then get a nail or drill piece and make 16 holes in 1 can on the contour and 5 holes in the middle of the bottom bear in mind you need to get a 2p coin over the 5 holes you then need to get the pliers and bend the rim of the can with the holes in towards the inside of the can then take the large piece and place the second small piece Inside and voila you have a penny can stove

    Our stove seems to have really big jets. We made them with a push pin (tac board push pin) it is the same size I use on all my stoves. Due to the long fire coming from the jets it goes though fuel to fast to boil water. Do you have any ideas as to why this is happening?

    Use caution with the Axe can. It has a plastic seal under the aluminum cap and body that puts off an acrid smoke. It can also shoot off hot plastic shrapnel. Was not designed to be heated. Blew its top seal after the first test firing and shot a plastic piece from between the body/round cap across the garage. Made a loud pop. Pulled the aluminum cap out of the can to reveal the black plastic seal underneath. I would venture other pressurized cans have the same seal. Cool idea though.

    Yeah, you could certainly make it just a bit taller for more fuel capacity.

Would love to hear how it works out for ya if you decide to try it out :-)

    The "random" cut merely separates the halves, then He cut on his scribed lines to get it at the height needed with the shears. This way gets an even cut all the way around the can. as it is hard to get a straight cut just sawing thru the can. Hope that helps clear things up for you.

    I just made one of these things to spec and used 91% rubbing alc. Instead of the blue flame, I'm getting 4-5in long white flames all around. Now I just eyeballed a drill bit half the diameter of a 1/8in bit to use because none of my smaller bits had labels so Im wondering if the wrong size jets would cause the cooler flames. Also, could a leak from the base joining the body affect the flame??

Perhaps it is the fuel difference. I am using denatured alcohol that is specifically made for stoves, it may burn faster.
