Affordable, lightweight & recycled. Wonderful! Here in the SW of the US, we make luminarias out of veggie tins. 1 trick is to fill them with water & freeze it so they don't collapse while cutting with hand tools. Love this design.

For some reason I have recently received several (newish) videos all saying how to make a gasifier stove out of three tins… but they are not a patch on your video. It is, simply, the best and I know it works. Cheers.

Brilliant. I just made one myself in a matter of minutes. It's so useful to know exactly which cans provide a nice snug fit. I left the bottom on my coffee can and just made the holes 12mm instead of 10mm, works a treat and doesn't seem to scorch the base too badly. Also retained the plastic lid that comes with the coffee tin so I can store kindling/firelighters inside nicely. Thanks Simon.

Wonderful design and make - I love it. Three things to notice: a) the bottom of a slightly bigger can could help against scorching the ground and catch the ashes and embers that fall through your mesh b) using a finer mesh and smaller pieces of wood (about half the size of the diameter of the combustion chamber) or wood pellets would give you a longer burn time c) you don't want to overfill it - the holes for the secondary combustion need to be slightly above the fuel to work properly - watch your stove starting to smoke after refilling with longer sticks; smoke is wasted energy

Great project Simon! The tip for "stretching" the rim of the coffee tin was MORE than worth the price of admission!

Yup, watched a few vids with some serious rim stretching, don't know if I was pleased or saddened by this one. Fair play Simon, I admire your 'handling of tools', I bought a gassifier from China a few years ago for about a tenner. I do genuinely admire your craftsmanship.

Good job Simon I always like to see your video.

Note: if you want to avoid soot on your container, just put some aluminum foil on the bottom of the cook container. Fast and easy. Container stays pretty clean. Set a flat rock on that tree stump....Or several handfuls of dirt.

I have those power tools in my garage and will have to try making one. Never saw a Dremel cut-off tool used in a drill press that way before, and I’ve been long machining for decades! Doh! Thanks!

Well thank you for showing me that I’ve never seen one especially how it’s made I’m going to go out and make one

Nicely done my friend👌👍🙌 When I saw your post on Instagram announcing the KZread video is coming, I get excited to see it And the results is brilliant. With all the cheap collapsibles woodgas stoves available on Amazon & eBay we don't see anymore recent tutorial of DIY ones. But beside budget aspect the aspect of being able to make an efficient home made one is still important. First because you recycle And repurpose something usually throw away And second you become much more selfreliance in case of emergency / survival situation. Those two aspects have no price.

Thanks for the precise and imaginative video. Dav

Simon ! I just made one of those.... had to improvise in a few places but the results were remarkable ! i just put in 2 small hand fulls of wood pellets into the burn chamber and sprinkled 91% Iso-Alcohol on the pellets and lit it with a match... it went puff and then it was going so real easy to start... I tested it in my shop with the sliding barn type door open but there was absolutely no smoke at all once it got going.... I just drilled holes in the bottom of the burn chamber and it did indeed work fantastically boiled the water in about 4~5 minutes to a rolling boil just like the Alcohol stoves for the most part the flames were blue and that surprised me ! the jets near the top were yellowish near the top the rest was blue ! .... the cans i used were a Progresso soup can and a cambles chicken noodle can (old style stuff) the cans nested well inside each other so I used them ! so there was no streaching the rim they set inside each other and there was no need to fuss with the rim the cans fit fairly close to one another so I was concerned that the jets would not get enough air but they did indeed work very well together .... thank you a bunch ! Incidentally the Jet holes I used were larger than yours and I noticed yours had a tendency to smoke a tiny bit.... Mine doesn't at all and I was really surprised ! I also used 8 holes but a slightly larger size ( I think 1/2" but that may be on my bigger chili can and spaghetti sauce can(big tall can) woodgas stove ) they both work great ! I cut the center of the bottom of the chili can out to fit the spaghetti sauce can and fit it in there and then took my plyers and bent the rim of the burn chamber out so it would be more stable and not fall through.

Nice job Simon, I will be on the lookout for the right size cans here in the US. And give it a go.

I like it gives me a project to do while we are quarantine here in Florida

Awesome work!

ZYDECO LIVES!!! It helps to have a crafty bloke in the shop if you want to be a savvy 'bloke in the woods.' Some of your 'tools' and techniques represent real thinking outside the box. Making gear is an important part of enjoying the outdoors. I never felt any need to use Troglodyte tools. Many of us have power tools as well as hand tools: I do for wood carving projects. Part of the sport is using what you have.
