HOBO ROCKET STOVE [Simple DIY!]

The hobo rocket stove is a clever design that uses cast off materials and simple tools to make. It's efficient and packable and is part of an overall hobo cook kit.

    Have you tried punching a few holes around the bottom of the outer can? I think it will draw in air which would rise and be heated before mixing into the flame at the top perhaps increasing full burn of the fuel even more. Im going to build one and let you know my results.

    I built the stove following your instructions. Once I got the kindling going I dropped in a charcoal briquette. It burned super clean and long enough to make coffee and breakfast. Perfect for overnight camping. It holds 3 briquettes + a BIC lighter. I got one of those plastic dog food covers to hold everything in place. Very convenient for backpacking.

    When I was 7 years old in 1951, my Bluebird group (junior Camp Fire Girls) made a similar camping stove but much simpler. We used a LARGE, commercial size aluminum can, I’m not sure exactly what they are called- gallon size? to build a stove. A “V” was cut in the open bottom about 3 inches wide for feeding fuel (twigs,very small pieces of wood). A beer can opener end was used to punch several “V” type holes on the upper side of the can below intact top. The top was solid enough to hold a fry pan, sauce pan or water kettle. My mother and I used it for all our cooking for a week in Yosemite that year. Fond memories.

    We used the large coffee cans when I was a girl scout and for the fuel we would use a 12 oz tuna or chicken can with tightly rolled card board with wax poured over with a wick in the middle. They are called Buddy burners and we made french toast, grilled cheese sandwiches and pots of all kinds on ours.

    Growing up with a military dad, this is how we camped back in the 70's. We used tin cans, and it was a clean way of camping that did not harm the environment. I don't ever remember buying a gas stove for camping until I was in college, and no one knew how to make this exact stove. This is the best way to cook for and heat a small campsite.

    This rocket stove is a little on the bigger side, but mine was made with a family size soup can, a regular soup can, and a tomato paste can with a bent wire hanger for a handle. All i needed was my multitool. A good multitool is worth a mountain of gold in these situations which can only really be solved by a lot of money and people willing to take a chance, which aint common. Especially for folx like me with autism that was untreated because it was hard enough scrapping together 200 bucks a month for my insulin. Anyway that little rocket stove carried coals, tinder, and pretty much all i needed to get a fire started. Id start in there til i got my coals good and glowing and transfer it out to a proper sized fire.

    ​@@hugh_jasso Havimg one of these would never be considered "too much extra stuff". Jesus, you can fit it in a zip lock. There's a reason they teach this sort of thing in survival training. My grandpa has photos of he and his special force buddies in Nam and they'd have these things. Sometimes guys would lose or have to leave behind their nicer ones they'd bought and they'd end up making little ones like this. My father and grandfather made sure all their kids could make little things like this before we even started school. They're great for wilderness or urban survival.

    This was fantastic… I kept remembering the stove we made in the girls outs … a tuna can and a coffee can. We took cardboard and paraffin… rolled the cardboard put it into the tuna can. Made a small door in the topside of the coffee can so the other would fit… pounded a bunch of nail holes into the top of the coffee can… when the paraffin was lit we could cook a hamburger on it or a hot dog….

    Thanks for the shout out. Looks cool and I like the nesting aspect. My last version of one was more form fitted, designed to be left intact and was still small enough to fit in my pot. Unfortunately after a long period of lack of use and being stored in my barbeque on the patio while I still lived in California it pretty much disintegrated with rust. I'm on a permanent campout now on my off grid homestead but I have built amenities such as an overkill solar power plant, septic tank, water tower and a cheesy concrete block rocket stove for outdoor cooking things like pasta or chilli when it is too hot to cook in my RV. Of course those tend to crack and start coming apart like mine is but it still works good enough and is made from scrounged blocks. I just haven't needed a compact one since I am no longer living on the road. I may make another one and a crappy Samsung phone video of it shortly once I get some other more pressing projects done. Thanks for the vid and have fun!

    Thanks for the video of this great idea! If you don’t mind, I’d like to offer what I suspect might improve it... 1. Put holes around the BOTTOM of the outside (large) can, and 2. holes around the TOP of the inside can. This way, fresh, cool, oxygenated air enters the can from the bottom, heats up, then travels up inside, and spews out toward the flames at the top of the can, further oxygenating - and burning - the exiting particulates. However, the size of this stove may prevent the extra air from picking up enough velocity to make a difference. If the cans were taller, heating the can (and air) more, the velocity would increase, making it burn super-hot.

The little things that you put together like this especially if they have something to do with fire just thrillz my grandson to no end. He loves playing with fire but he only gets to do that with me and only if we're building something similar to what you built today. I talk him through it but he does it all. If he gets stumpt I let him see the video otherwise I talk him through it which means sometimes I have to watch these videos over and over, that's what happens when you get older. So thanks again for the video I certainly do enjoy these things and my grandson does also, so on that note have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry and your rocket stove blazing!

    As an idea to further this design, using a larger can you can cut it in half (or cut off the bottom third) , take the bottom half poke holes around the base under the seam, put it upside down on the top and use it as a lid. Using a metal coat hanger you can fashion a carry handle, that loops through the holes to keep the lid shut, allowing you to store firestarter in the can. If you poke your can holes mid way through the main body in conjunction with or instead of the top, you could take the lid idea and poke the holes at the open end and use the hanger for a small makeshift hanging pot. It'd probably only be big enough for tea but I think it'd be a worth while addition

    Thank you. Excellent video, and a great idea. It shames me that I wasn't taking notes, but a gentleman was speaking of, "pizza oven blocks." He had them shaped like tablets, about the diameter of a soup can. I guess that you saturate them with alcohol and let them sit covered, overnight. This results in a couple of fast igniting tablets. They seemed efficient, and the man said that you can just blow them out and they are cool enough to touch in 30 seconds. Naturally, they require a wind screen.
