Excellent mod of the old hobo stove. I've used these but never thought of making the feet for it. Something that works well in an urban survival situation is Purell. Take any hand sanitizer, if one is short of funds, it can often be found in construction site sani-cans, the front of grocery stores or in medical buildings. pour it into a can, it is alcohol gel and will burn by itself but works much better if 'distilled' by pouring a teaspoon of salt into it, stirring and straining through any handy cloth. You'll then have fuel that is closer in alcohol concentration as rubbiung alcohol (which can often be had for about $1. Toilet paper or fast food napkins can be placed in the can to hold the liquid and prevent spillage. Dry sand can also be used as an absorbent material .That stove kept me and another alive through a very cold winter.

Thanks for sharing your information also. Yeah it used to be you could buy 70% alcohol for a dollar at the dollar store, now you're lucky if you can find 50% alcohol at any store since the planned dimmick. Can you explain the salt process for making it distilled?

I camp alot and never once thought if a metal can cook stove. Easier to do than building a log fire and wasting wood. Thanx for the idea..

Excellent video -- thank you! The best thing about this is its simplicity! (I've been making can stove for more than a half century; yours is one of the best. One point: The reason the pot stand has three legs/feet is because three make for a much more stable platform. If you reduce the number of feet on the can stove to three, it will most likely be more stable (and much stronger). You can still cut a few smaller vent holes in-between the three feet for air (and underneath the stove). BTW, you can also make 4 of the top rim holes large and four small and still be able to feed the flame. These things will make the stove much stronger. -- Old Matt

This is by FAR the best advert for a fresh food subscription box company.

For a pot stand you can use three to four tent stakes with the tip bent over, typical stakes that come with tents

This is a really dope way to integrate a sponsor without deviating from your normal content. I hope any future sponsors will easily do the same.

That's the easiest and best soup can stove I've seen so far, made one within minutes. Adding 2 tent pegs through 4 top holes creates a base for my ssteel mug. Going to make a pot stand too. The can I used is wide enough to house my Stanley pot w. the lid, there is even space at the bottom for some useful smaller 'stuff'. Thanks for posting, btw. cute bird

I remember this from my Dad. Dad did this when he was an Infantryman during the end of WWII and when he was in Korea during the Korean War. Dad called this the Infantryman's stove. You only did this inside your foxhole, trench, or behind a hill where the enemy can't observe you from. Soldiers would heat up C-Rations or make coffee in a canteen cup. Before Vietnam soldiers would use small sticks or other wood to fuel the fire up until the heat tablets. The WWII Germans had ESBIT stoves but the fuel tabs ran out quick. G.I.s made holes in the ground and put rocks around them to make a fire ring. I was never a Boy Scout but my Dad was a Combat Infantryman. I used his knowledge later when I was in the Army.

I'm really impressed by this video. Not only did u make the stove, but u actually showed how it works. Can't wait to see more from you. Respect

Great idea. And people spend hundreds of dollars on all the new fandangle stoves, when that works the same. For those who don’t know what that can opener is, come to Australia we have them by the truck load. Love your parrot, it looks smarter than our politicians. Greetings from Australia.

The metal is soft enought to easily bend by hand. I made two after watching this video and, with bare female hands, I didn't come close to any accidents or injuries. Obviously, be smart and watch how you're handling the cut edges. Once the punched out triangles are bent into place, a person would have to really try to get themselves cut on it. Also, those can openers are cheap old-school and readily available in Walmart and other discount stores. BTW, the can stoves work great :-)

I can't believe I watched this already! It was a couple years ago. Wasn't even subscribed back then, was just looking for camping tips. I actually made this back then, and failed to make a sustainable fire due to using sticks that were too green. It's amazing how I rediscovered you and all your awesome content, without realizing I've already seen one of your videos.

makes my day when i see you posted another video. They're educational, so well edited, and your videos are as good as therapy

I've been looking for a practably cost free way to stock my emergency kit with a means of cooking. I didn't feel it was necessary to spend money I could use now. Thank you. I appreciate your help. And thank you for sharing.

I HAVE WATCHED SEVERAL DIY VIDS ON CAMP STOVES AND YOURS IS EASIEST BY FAR. THANK YOU.

I love the utensil holder pot stand! Talk about dead simple to set up.

I loved making these with my dad our design was a little different, but the same principal was followed. Weused coffe cans.We used screw drivers to poke the holes and then used coat hanger wire to keep the can of benas/soup from falling in. We'd bring a single coffee can and 2 cams of beans with us when we went out grouse hunting in Grayling. Makes for a fun lunch. Cheers.

This is the best incorporation of a sponsor into a video I've ever seen

I don’t camp, but I love bushcraft type stuff like this and as the fun uncle, I’m always on the look out for easy stuff to make like this

You are like a brother after my own heart. I've done this before myself. Great job with everything on and about this wonderful video. It can also make a wonderful emergency heater as well.

This reminds me of slowly heating cans of beanie weenies on the gas stove to avoid washing dishes as a kid pre microwave days 😅

I did about the same thing with a larger can. I found a can of green beans that had a diameter large enough to hold a sterno can but not too tall. I've used it indoors and doesn't require a pot stand. Thanks for the video and best of luck to you.

I love the simplicity of your project. I have watched MANY VIDEOS on this subject. I plan to use a coffee can, or a can from industrial use such as restaurant use. If you put bricks alongside the cans, you can place a grill over top of the can using the bricks as a steady holder for pots and pans ect. That's my plan to improvise with the tin can stove.

I love this craft! After I've made a couple of them, they only take 30 sec to make. A good tip if your punch is strong enough is to dig from the side and through the bottom in one motion. Cheers!

Awesome, this is my favorite diy woodstove design in general, and I really like your bottom hole/feet mod, instead of just side vents. Haven't made one in a while, but I have two "chunky" cans which are slightly taller than average set aside for this summer.

Love this kind of quick and easy practical info. Cool bird pet.

Ty you taught me a lot. I'm a female, single but I'm a survivor too.. God Bless you.. I got my own camp cooking equipment but you taught me how to make the stove.. I'm very greatful... Ty ty ty ❤

Just went thru Hurricane Florence and wish I had this info before as I was trying to cook with grill and ran out of charcoal! Thank God the power is back on but will use this in the future . Nice work n keep it up! Btw you have the perfect voice and delivery for these type vids!

Love the idea behind this and, considering I live in a forest, it's a really good one for me to keep in mind. The simplicity behind it is ingenious. Also, this is perhaps the best video I've seen that's been sponsored by Blue Apron. This video doesn't sell itself short and it doesn't sell Blue Apron short (one of which seems to always happen in sponsored videos), and they both compliment each other well, considering cooking is the general theme. This is a great example of what videos should be like in regards to the sponsor's product--they're complimentary.

Genius work, genius marketing. Just all around genius.

Yes! Thanks again! I use to seeing alot of these ideas, but You're the best!!! ( Sorry, may inglish)
