Great older video. Info is still valid. Nice tackle box stove. Nothing like a hot cup of Earl Gray at the lake.

I'm with you brother, this stove as a wood burner is totally awesome! I didn't even have to modify it, I just dug a little pit directly beneath, this allowed a nice pile of coals to accumulate underneath the frame, allowing more room to stack the wood onto. Set it up against a rock wall and got some good heat coming off.

i would like to pass this on to everyone else that may read: i have 2 of this same sterno stove. i love them. i even had one as a kid, as well. without any modification this stove can also be used for the pathfinder alcohol stove or for the trangia alcohol burner. for use with the trangia alcohol burner (shorter than the pathfinder alcohol stove) use an up-side down tuna fish can to raise the trangia to the proper height. a tuna can and the pathfinder are exactly the same diameter and rest in the sterno can support in the bottom of the sterno stove. also for use with an alcohol stove buy a 10" tall X 10-plate aluminum folding windscreen (ebay) as it exactly fits the sterno stove and even has 2 extra plates to spare. so, you see this sterno stove can serve as a muti-fuel stove for many applications. great stove, IMO. for as well as the sterno folding stove works in several applications plus it's low cost the sterno stove is hard to beat, IMO. if you have a large iron skillet or a large 3 legged iron skillet you could even use the sterno stove as a wood burning stove under a covered patio on a table.. nice and easy to enjoy that way and sit down to cook with it! thank you for your video!

+Rspene smit that's a great idea and thanks. i have some stainless steel skewers that i saved from a bad electric chicken rotisserie oven which i may end-up doing that same thing with? i also have been considering drilling holes through my aluminum folding wind screen and through the sterno stove's 3 sides in-order to fasten the 2 together with small wing nuts since the wind screen is an exact to all corners diameter as the outside of the sterno stove (would hold the wind screen up in wind still allowing the front doors to open and close). i've found that in high winds that a tall wind screen is needed around the sterno stove to protect the flames at the grill top and bottom of pot. the wing nuts on 3 sides would firmly attach and support the wind screen and the wing nuts would install and remove easily by hand (no tools). last time i cruised through the camping stuff at wal-mart i saw the sterno stove hanging on a rack with a $6.50 price tag...... such a versatile item that's so inexpensive! thanks my friend, martina

That is very useful information. The youtube presenter shows how to use it with wood. You explain how to use it best with the Trangia. I just had 2 days without power so I bought the 100 th anniversary Sterno stove (the red one) that has a smaller clearance to the flame. I am just looking for indoor use. If I decide to buy this stove too I will use the tuna can and etc. with the Trangia.

I'm a bit late here, but I just had to comment. I love this stove. Use it, and one cannot beat the price.

I have had one of these since the 1980s when I was still active duty USMA. Have used it with all manner of heat sources including: sterno, heat tabs, paraffin burner, alcohol burner, etc. Never tried wood, but have set at one end of the camp fire and scooped coals into it to heat water. Thanks for the review. It's a great little device that deserves a look. Suggest you start a feather stick outside the "stove" and stick the burning feather stick into your tinder next time. Might be easier.

👍👍👍 .. nice. Using what you've got and a bit of lateral thinking. Another advantage is that it is already paid for. Manufacturers and Sellers of 'Gear' will always try and convince one the one cannot function without what they have on offer (quite understandable .. that's business). I'm in favour of 'contained fires'. Here in Switzerland, even during periods where there are no fire restrictions in the forest, the Authorities have absolutely no sense of humour with those who set their trees on fire .. eye-watering fines being, in such cases, the order of the day. A preference for 'retro' gear .. all credit to you Sir. As a 'Baby Boomer' myself (YOB 1950), I tend to keep and use gear bought many moons back. As long as it does the job, it's good. Thanks for sharing .. take care ..

I just picked one of these up an hour ago. I was just about to search for mod videos but yours popped up as soon as I logged on. Talk about convenient!

You made me feel good about my investment in one of those! Got a gold one identical at the goodwill store for 3 bucks, and I will get a stainless plate and do the mod to use wood! Much rather use wood as it appeals more to the bushcraft spirit than being a consumer needing fuels!! I'm very INTO knowing much more and needing much less, this video aligns with that mentality 100%!

+Gregory House Well I'll say this,, glad I bought one and made the mod,, it goes everywhere with me! It folds relatively flat and weighs next to nothing, yet it has a large and stable cooktop. I actually believe it is a safer unit as a result. No more having to balance a pot on top!!

I got my sterno stove for 2 bucks when K-mart was closing. I went and bought 5 of them and other survival gear.

Peanut butter jars are under rated. We've been using them for years. We even have a rolling dispenser in our campervan to save space. I put hot water in one of them to reshape it to fit in my stainless steel cooking cup that is similar to the one in the video. Good video 👍

Used one of these for 22 years in the army. Heated shaving water and coffee water. Warmed water for MREs. I always carried a couple of bic lighters and used the sterno cans. As long as you have gloves or even a bandana you don’t need to have anything special to pick up the pot by the handle. If I needed to burn twigs/wood I would punch a few holes in an empty sterno can and start my fire with a little toilet paper or scraps of cardboard. Used my canteen cup.

Great hack! I have owned the same sterno stove for over 30 years but until recently had not tried wood in it. A perforated plate is a good idea. Thanks for sharing this.

Bravo! Right now, I'm having tea with mine. It's good to see that it held up well. Thank you for the demonstration.

Just bought one the other day this is exactly what I was trying to find wood burning using the Sterno stove thanks a lot

Recently bought this same stove for $8, been wanting to fire it up, although I'm not a big fan of sterno fuel. Thanks for sharing the idea with us.

There's another Sterno stove that already has a grill on the bottom. I like Sterno, when used in conjunction with an alcohol stove, or even a wood stove. A Sterno stove of the right size can hold two cups on top, a can of Sterno, and an alcohol stove to do the heating. The alcohol stove is great at boiling, and the can of Sterno is great at simmering. It's a handy combination. Wood is always a good fire, of course, but not always the best choice, depending on where you are, and what you want to do.

+James Ritchie As seen I do carry an alcohol stove, but do prefer the wood or biomass for my fires. A can of sterno takes up to much room in my pack and the weight to heat ratio isn't enough for me to make room in the pack.

Good burn. Like your peanut butter jars... Mors Kochanski has tons of gear in his during his outdoor tutorials

i have 2 in my gear. made a grate for 1 about a year ago also. this has become my primary bbq grill. have done wood & charcoal briquets. i can fit 9 briquets inside. you have giving another mod for the grate. locate & drill the 2 post holes in the grate. i also have cut a cross grill top for it as well. this cross plate sits 90 degrees to the main grill plate. have done hot dogs, hamburgers & lobster on the grill using it. with the charcoal i get 1 hour of burn time with 9.

And the piece of sheet metal in the bottom was a mod I already had in mind when I bought it. I wonder if adding a few holes along the sides would help with air flow.

MaxxHeadroom A small propane bottle type stove might be quicker, but heavier as well. This light weight little stove does work great. Could keep the little ones busy gathering small twigs for the fire!!

If you run a wire (12 gauge copper is fine) from the front posts to the back rod, it can be used with a Trangia, or a soda can stove. The wire forms bottom to that space, and doesn't interfere with folding.

I've got two of these I picked up at a garage sale, they're the gold color ones though. Use it quite a bit.

I saw a black broiler set today at the thrift store that looked like I could put coals in the bottom of it and place the flat part on top of that to make a make-shift heavy-duty grill or stove to use at home. It even looked fine for using in a solar oven because it was thin enough and black. Do you have any metal pot/pan modification videos where you make them into stoves?

Does the ugly label on your Pathfinder canteen set eventually burn off? Does the black soot come off without your scratching the metal up?I just got that set, but my cup has no holes in the top to attach the bottle-holder to. Did you drill those yourself? And the cuts in the lid - you did those, too?

i use them for burning my old truck tires they work great !!

I like this stove and have owned/used them over the years. The plate on the bottom seems like a great hack to hold a Trangia or other small heat source. However, I have a concern using wood in a thin-walled aluminum stove. It seems that there is the potential to burn/melt the stove if the fire is too hot. Anyone have thoughts on that? In my experience, after making a fire in a small twig stove, I let the fire die down to embers so it doesn't' blacken my pots and pans. That's a lot of heat for thin aluminum. IMHO Thoughts?

It took almost 6:00 minutes into the video to start the fire, they must not sell lighters in those neck of the woods. Good idea on the wood burning modification. Thanks🖒

I might test your invention with scrap aluminum from a disposable turkey pan. Punching holes might be a little easier but it won't last long. I have the Sterno stove kit and the bottom is a little different. It has 3 or 4 "wires" that look like the top of your stove. Should still work.

Question for you, I just bought one tonight , and will be doing some mods and just from your video and checking mine out, it looks to be an excellent setup, i did see on another video, that someone had a question about burning wood in it, that the temp may be too high for the material it's made of, over time, have you had any issues with the stove and burning wood in it, and the integrity of the stove, thanks.

Ferro rods are wonderful tools, but sometimes you really just need to use a match. Times like this, for example. I have one of these stoves, and you can also start the fire on the tray, and then slide it into the stove as soon as you have a flame. Slide the traty about a quarter of the way in, start the fire, and then slide it the rest of the way in. Doing it this way make the ferro rod much more effective. But using a ferro rod when a match or a BIC works far better is just wearing down your ferro rod needlessly.

Kinda' reminds me of a Homelite chain saw when trying to get it started with the rod . How about beginning the fire in a sardine can with holes in it outside of the stove itself, then put the can inside the stove upon ignition.

Great video Skip. Well thought out option for this stove and it's use. I just picked one of these up for this very purpose. I have used a fire predominately up to this point, and I was wondering how to mod this stove for use with wood, as I am not very big on carrying alcohol with me. There is wood all around, but losing an alcohol bottle can mean the difference between eating and not eating if that is all you are used to using for cooking. Just out of curiosity, are you ex-Navy?

+bashfulbrother Glad you found this helpful. The mod for the base has worked very well. I have recently started to carry an alcohol stove but always keep this in the pack as well. I am ex-Air Force. I don't carry the sterno, I carry a gallon bag of dry sticks as tinder.

$7 in 2015, most likely IF you can still find it today, guessing $47 today (12/2021). Skip the sterno and go with a Trangia! Cover the bottom of your container with aluminum foil for fast cleanup. Reuse the used foil as an ash liner or soot side down, clean up and fry burgers on it.

The " Bush Buddy " configuration has a closed bottom so embers don't fall out. The finer the hardware cloth the smaller the embers that fall through, if any. If the sterno stove were set on a non combustible surface, such as metal, slate, shale or a flat rock; this should eliminate any such problem. I imagine setting the sterno in a large pie tin would also prevent any embers of sparks from falling through. I'll have to try it to see what the results would be. Good Luck, and keep on innovating.

The fire I built was only about a third of what I could have put in it and it did very well, definitely hot enough to cook with. If one needs to stay warm, build a fire on the ground and make it big enough to do the job. It will get hot enough without the full capacity to cook anything you want.

Standard method at Boy Scout camp back in the day was to coat the outside of the pot with dish washing liquid before putting it on the fire. A thin coating was sufficient, and the soot wiped right off in the dishpan. Camp Suds should work as well, and is supposed to be bio-degradable.

@@MickAlderson AWESOME !! Thanks Very Much

I see several versions of that knife on the website. What version do you have there and which one would you recommend. Dude that's a knife. No wimpy wannabe. Bit pricey, but quality costs. I clicked because I see you doing what I do. Never had the metal plate. Just cleared a spot of ground. That metal plate is nice. Do you sell those? No shop to Make my own.

If you fold window screen over until there are 2 or 3 layers, it should last almost long as hardware cloth.

+Seamus3051 That thought had crossed my mind, better coal control and still have air flow.
