- Homemade "Gallon Can" Wood Stove!. DIY Tin Can Wood Stove. Made using only 2 cans! No special tools required. Easy DIY. Cost $5.00. only fuel needed is twigs, leaves and small sticks. works by pulling air in through holes drilled in the center section of the larger can - then into (and up through) the smaller "inner" can. small, portable and powerful. stove will burn for 10 to 15 mins on each "fill up". was designed to be a fully self-contained. (all ash collects in the bottom third of the gallon can - for easy disposal). wind and "light rain" resistant. only tools needed: drill, tin snips & pliers. was $4 for the gallon paint can (at ace hardware) and $1 for the smaller can (dollar store).

best and easy DIY stove without any exotic tools. thanks for the video.
hi and thank you!
this is the best step by step presentation i have seen so far in various diy in youtube, simple, easy to follow and efficiently presented. Kudos to you sir. you are really a good presenter.
Best by far, affordable diy on UA-cam for a rocket stove
i've got a whole collection of these badboys. I've always loved playing with fire.
I like playing with fire as well and once I brought liter in to school and made a fire and got isgodid
Beautiful homemade portable wood gasifier stove
i know what I'm doing with my daughter after work! looks good!
The advantage to using the pliers to expand the holes is that it creates a series of short 'tubes' that enhance the rigidity of the outer can.
i was wanting to find something small like this to use in the morning to boil water for my coffee this seems to be just what i need
It's the simplest one I've seen. Thanks.
you're welcome 🙂👍
nice man I like that good design. that's the only one I've seen like it. good backpack design.
That is well engineered, good job sir.
Just found your vid. 7 y/o but timeless really. Thank you.
hi and you're welcome! yes, most of my vids are the "timeless" or "evergreen" type. hopefully they'll be helping people for decades to come 👍🙂
Thank you for going through the process of making this. Liked and subscribed.
Chou De Bola mesmo Parabéns 👍👍🇧🇷
Nice video... 1 suggestion. The inner can should be wider than that to allow the air to heat up more. Nice build tho
I like this idea. Well put together.
Get a step drill bit. You will get cleaner holes.. great job. I have made smaller versions..
What is a step drill
@@shadowdance4666 a step drill bit. Not a step drill. Google it please.
Well he uses needlenose to have a smooth surface and it makes the can stronger.
That's a good lookin' stove you got there pardner!
Awesome job!
I made a similar ... very nice burn ... thank you for the video...
Thanks for making this!
hi. you're welcome!
I missed where you added holes top of inner can. Anyway, I would suggest removing the bottoms of both cans, threading wire (or insert grill) bottom of inner can (with > 1 cm² spacing) and keeping widest bottom to collect ash. This gives more air to bottom of wood fuel and much easier to clear ash in operation.
you must determine the amount of oxygen which enters at the bottom of the inner chamber really carefully, which is not possible with a wire mesh etc. The most part of burning should happen at the upper end of the device, not down there in the burning chamber; there should only enough heat to gasify the wood, which MUST NOT get oxygen to burn. I always made two bottoms, so I could twist them against each other and regulate the air flow.
Ashes should not be a problem. If the device is built well, trying to attain the "Holy Grail", sorry, the blue flame burner, there would be less than one teaspoon full of very fine, light grey dust.
@Fikri Arieska Did'nt know those but it will be interessant to check into the matter, thanks!
good job Duder!
Simple, nice and very easy
The classic construction of a woodgas stove. In those I built it paid out to put some insulation (glass fibre fabrics) on the outside of the inner chamber, fixed by wire and/or an additional sheet, cut out from another can, to attain the crucial 495 degrees Celsius really fast.
I think if I made it a little smaller, it would be a size I could use when I go motorcycle camping.
I'm gonna make one.
thank you! great idea, great vid!
Great job; better video!!! Question: how big or what type was the “smaller” can? Keep up the good work!!! Me and mine wish you and yours all things great and good!!! Take care, be safe, all my best and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 🤠🐩🖖✝️👍
Remove the top holes.
The air gap is to provide heated air, which heats the unburnt wood to produce wood tar gas.
This provides better combustion and a hotter flame.
Myles Nichola
@myles nicholas ? how do you remove the top holes that were made to allow air flow, please? It seems you would be destroying the integrity of the can. thanks!!
Nice design.
thanks 👍
Very good for safety first
👍👍👍👍👍 Awesome is right!!!
Great job sir, Now I have a can of 900 grams so I have to make the 1/4 holes in the middle too? The inner can is 1 cm diameter minus separated from 900 grams can. Thanks for your help and sorry for my english.
Good video
Thanks, and good job. Do you think this is more efficient than the rocket stove? If you had to choose only one of the two, which one?
This one is more fuel efficient and rocket stove is versatile as fuel feeding is easy. Both are at their own places. Some how i chose this one for small twigs. And rocket stove for longer thiker wood pieces.
Muy interesante su fabricación
Great job.
I would’ve used a churchkey can opener and saved all the hassle of drilling, works just as well. Only takes about a quarter of the time to make. it try it on your next project.
Great job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice Conversion!
would it work better if the outside can air holes were drilled down towards the bottom rather than in the middle to give the air more distance to heat up before coming out the top inside holes??
nice and simple...
Great idea! Love it!
Love these Gasifier Stoves, But burning those steel cans like that what is the life usage of this type of stove, before a can Burns out. Looks like the two smaller cans probably the upper smaller can would be first to go, and have the shortest life span. But making up two or three extras could resolve that problem. I have a Few professionally made stove of this type one is the Silverfire survivor stove, and a Stovetec stove, both are Very good and durable. I would not mind building a few of these for a travel type disposable, if need be.
I love the design. If it's for home use, another way to reduce the ashes would get better.
Do not put holes in the side of the inner can. Once the burn gets below them it will suck air through them as the bottom holes are covered in ash and therefore a bit restricted. Without them the ash will be fed with air and keep glowing until there is nothing left of the ash to keep going.
BRAVO 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
thanks for sharing
Great build! I love this channel. Anyone care to comment on the life span of the inner can? If I had to cook on it solely would it last a couple weeks?
hi there and thanks. the heat of the wood-fueled fire contained within the inner can is not nearly enough to damage it.... the inner can (and entire stove) should last you for years. *just keep it dry so it doesn't rust. (I've still got the stove and it's going strong).
desertsun02 Excellent thank you.
Aluminium will last much longer. Most steal food cans will corrode, even if it never touches rain. After several burns and a month of age it'll become brittle, and start to look like a hobo relic of yestercentury.
@@vegahimsa3057 your comments here have been *wildly helpful* as is this one. 👍🙏🎯
Since you load it from the top, how long a burn time before you have to load it again ?
great vid
tnx
Awesome. I'm probably going to do this one. I spend alot of time on the road and need an alternative to the constant resturants. What would you say the lifespan of it would be with proper cleaning and storage of course?
A steel can will eventually fall apart. It'll be usable for a long time and many burns, but will become corroded and brittle, rust-like.
I never purchased or made a woodgas stove which did not, in the first minutes, soil the pot with a thick layer of soot. It's good for garden, outdoor, week-long electricity blackout, war or catastrophe. In daily use this is not practical. They will cast you out of any truck stop etc. if you try to wash up your gear there, and it will soil you, your clothing and your car beyond recognisation within a few seconds. Buy a flat little gas stove, they are good and cost next to nothing.
nice ,thanks
Nice work.
I prefer a rocket stove , but nice alternative.
Beautiful design but a feeder hole in the side would make this perfect
good
bravo brother
Nice
super cute and efficient! is it smokeless?
hi and thanks. this burns wood so it's not smokeless ✔
pretty cool!
Getter dun before the lights go out and you are scrambling to try and charge a power tool battery.
@rick geise excellent point and a ? for you: will an EMP destroy tools? Does the entire ensemble need to be in a faraday cage, then? I'm having trouble figuring out what needs to be fully protected vs. what will 'survive' (I keep my drill in its case, unplugged, of course...and worry that it will still suffer.) 🙏 thanks for your BRIGHT ANSWER🌞💡
@@RattledEditor I am not an expert; however, I purchase a metal trash can w/ lid from Lowes and lined it with a camp sleeping pad, stored power tools and similar electrical gear in it and called it good. Thanks for the luv!
@@rickgeise2844 thanks so much! I underestimated the number of tools and equip when I got their smaller version of a can but hey, you confirmed the thinking and that's super helpful. Time for a bigger can, man.😉
is the second can just a campbells soup can ?
looks like bush beans can
29 oz Did you build one?
neat !!!!!
I wonder if a large popcorn tin would work?
hi there. i'm not sure how rugged those are - but it might work
Does it push enough heat for hands and feet during winter?
hi. i'd say so...
The ash are caught in the bottom? Awesome
Derek Everyguy hi there. yep, the ash falls through the inner can and into the bottom of the gallon can. with this large "storage area" for the ash (bottom third of can) you could probably run stove for 8 hours before you needed to dump it. (after running it for 30 mins the ash was only 2 to 3 millimeters deep).
@@desertsun02 good to know! ? would charcoal briquettes work in this? I realize sticks and woods and all, but...I've got a ton of charcoal cuz I didn't know better in prepping for #shtf

How do you fed the fire?
👍
Could you use coals in their ?
hi. i don't see why not ✔🙂👍
where did the grill top come from?
I ordered one on eBay
What kind of smoke if any did you get.
Would they work indoors
Jk
I like your rocket stove design better. Both work, but this one seems harder to feed.
***** hi there. while it's true that you need to pick up the pan to fully reload the fuel supply (versus the direct "bottom feed" of a rocket stove) it only takes a few seconds and burns for 10-12 mins per "fill-up". also consider that this stove has the benefit (over the rocket stove) of not needing to remove the ash nearly as often (every couple of hours vs. once every 8 hours (assuming continuous burn) due to it's large "storage area" for the ash under the burn chamber.
desertsun02 For what it's worth I built a large rocket stove and always preferred feeding it from the top.
@@desertsun02 here we are 6 yrs after your post - I was about to return my new paint can, (cited use as a faraday cage) but now I can't wait to drill that baby-up, man. thank you very very much
what size number of ounces is the small can, 28?
+Doug Ramsey hi. pretty close. it's 29oz.
another question. did you drill right on the line or just a tant on the sinde? It would seem if on line, it would be too loose and not give good seal. Good videol.
How long of a burn time can you get out of it?
gig777 depends on how much fuel and what type of fuel dummy, come on man.
That’s a perfectly good question ! Why are you insulting the man for ?
Where do you get a clean paint can?
CTODD92 u can get them at a hardware store like lowes near the paint section
Hi would you mind make me a large alcohol stove video version of this?
like the origo marine stove fuel cannister
Nothing beats the fancee feest design for simplicity and performance. 3 oz aluminium cat food can ("fancy feast"). 5 or 6 oz tomato paste can (probably steel) cut so it's 1" taller than cat can whilst inside (taller burns faster, less efficient; shorter slower but more fuel efficient). Punch a hole or four at the top and bottom of tomato can (to prevent vacuum and suck alcohol outward to be wicked up). Line with carbon fiber, insolation, or just toilet paper between cans. // Bigger is not better. If you want more heat, wider might help, but not taller. Rather build several cat and tomato stoves.
Keep fuel in pocket to keep warm in winter. The catomato stove will light at negative Fahrenheit. A wind screen is a must. Recommend tall aluminium beer cans, cut flat, folded together (two or three should be sufficient). 1/2 inch space between aluminium windscreen and your pot (metal cup) which sits directly on top of your lit tomato can.
How do I get a paint tin that new
hi. they sell them at the home stores. cost about 5 dollars
@@desertsun02 one viewer suggested removing small can's bottom so paint can captures ashes. Paint can is lined. Will the heat be an issue if the bottom of can were removed as they suggested? PS LOVE LOVE this idea!! thank you sooo much. saved. shared. can't wait to do it📍👍👍
Ótimo Fogareiro aí Parabéns 👍
thanks 🔥🙂
UFO power
All you need is a pile of rocks....
Guess you've never tried hiking, carrying all those rocks? I have.
Nice
how long will this burn with a full load of wood?
EC Reviews
Wood probably 20-30 minutes.
Pellets even longer, 1.5-2.5 hours if lit from the top of decent burn and add about an hour of so so.
Lit from the bottom maybe an hour but would probably burn hot enough to boil 2-3 gallons of water.
I like it.
The best! Thanks!
You're welcome!
