I love your fast paced narration. Most DIY videos on KZread take twice too long to convey the information. I make pop can stoves but don't use the center column made from the sides of the can. It's not needed. I use two can bottoms and do not cut out either bottom. I drill a hole in the center to fill the stove. That also serves as the priming hole. The stove is the pot stand so the center flame is extinguished by the pot once the outer 16 jets are burning.

I've just made one of these and felt the need to say thank you for putting together such a well edited and brilliantly narrated guide. All the best from the UK.

I liked this design, thank you. I appreciate the fire safety warnings too. (Ive been set on fire myself and seen one other person on fire so yeah... enough said). Good design. Im curious though, in many soda can stoves I see pulsing. Why is that? Is that an oxygen thing?

@DialedInDIY

5 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much for the feedback. The pulsing is a good question. I have seen it when the heat of the stove is high and my weep holes were not able to keep enough fuel running through to keep up with the burn. On the flip side, I have also noticed it when the fuel is running out which is a similar issue I guess (not enough fuel to keep up with the burn). Thanks again for taking time to watch the video and comment!

4:04 DO NOT cut notches - cut only very small slits (1/16" )......you are trying to build pressure in the inner chamber not vent it.........it will bloom faster and you will have better jets......I use an .020" drill in a pin vise for my jets.........any larger and you start to vent pressure.....

Great tip! Thanks for the feedback. I have had to work with the notch length to keep it short enough to close down around the raised, inner ring section so that it was a small opening but the slit idea is much more efficient.

I don't think it's going to make a difference when either opening is submerged in the fuel.

Honest question: why not just cut a can in half so it’s pretty much a bucket and then fill it with fuel and light it? Is it just more structural with more of the top left up cut? Or are the pin holes more efficient somehow? I see a huge flame in the massive middle opening and it seems like it would almost be the same to just not have the pin holes? I’m sure I’m wrong, but can someone plz explain?

Hello. I made the stove as described. However, as I put my pot on the stove after a few seconds the flames go out? Am I doing something wrong?

@DialedInDIY

2 жыл бұрын

Couple of thoughts... does the pot have a bit of an overhang or perhaps a bit concave? It could be suffocating the jets. Were you able to get the jets really, forcefully pushing out flame (and not just from the center)? If not, then it may need to prime a bit longer before you put a pot on it. If these things don't work you can also try a makeshift stand. I sometimes put some rocks together to get a bit of a windbreak and to make pseudo pot stand.

Is there any reason you don't put the tope piece over the bottom one?

The weep holes might be a bit small not allowing a good draw of fuel. Two options that can help. 1. use the top off another can to cover the large hole after it starts heating up. 2. Use the top from a soup can to put under the burner, add a little fuel and light (this heats the fuel to help force out the jets). Thanks for watching!!

Shouldn't the flame be blue? if I'm not mistaken, a yellow flame means your fuel isn't burning very cleanly (or as hot as it should.) Also, learn from my mistake: do NOT use rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol (aka isopropyl alcohol) produces a HUGE amount of soot. Use denatured alcohol (ethanol + methanol).

I just tried to build it and the part about the inner chamber must be wrong! If you cut right where the two sides don't overlap anymore, then you can't fix them inside out! EDIT: Turns out I didn't really understand the instruction. Thanks for the video!

@DialedInDIY

The key is keeping the entire width of the can wall for the inner wall that you are creating. Because inner wall is a smaller diameter than the original wall there will be plenty of overlap for the notches to hold it together. If it helps, double check the bottom left image at the 3:40 mark that shows how the cuts are made. Once the ring is rolled back to a circle you will connect at the notches marked with green (overlap it so that the last bit beyond the notches end up on the inside of your inner wall). If that doesn't help to clarify, please let me know and I will be happy to try and help. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

Will kerosene work instead of alcohol?

With some carbon felt to wick it, kerosene or lamp oil will work. Maybe use bigger holes. I did a carbon-felt wick for an alcohol candle design and on a lark tried some high-dollar lamp oil from Vermont Lanterns. It burned stronger and hotter than the alcohol version. Needs a mantle and a chimney to maximize the burning, light, and radiant heat.

The real test is when you try to boil 2 cups of water on this stove. You will be faced with 4 questions to answer: The amount of fuel you used, is it enough to achieve boiling?
