Lol XD

Easiest penny can stove demo I've seen. I'll have to try it.
thank you
I followed this tut using larger fosters cans. Worked supremely. Thanks so much for sharing!
that's awesome thanks for sharing. I've done the exact same thing using the larger Arizona iced tea cans in fact I will be releasing a video here very soon about it
I must say! This method without the use of any cotton or fiberglass burns 10X better! Thanks for the upload!
You do put on a good instructional video which is just fun to watch while not being boring.
thank you! have a great day!!
Living in hurricane country, your little stove would have been great to have when going 2 wks. without power. You did an excellent job of showing how. Thank you Going to make a couple.
Nice video!
When you add more alcohol (at 18:09 ), instead of pouring from the bottle, it may be safer to put some in the screw cap of the bottle (or the lid you use at the end of the video) and pour that on the stove, with the bottle at a safe distance. Just in case it's still burning (outdoors on a sunny day, those flames are almost invisible).
Great video! We used to make these when I was a kid.
A few thoughts.
By using a larger can you can increase burning time.
Place the stove in a hole about one inch narrower than the pot you are heating and at the same height as the top of the stove to stabilize your cooking pot. (I usually did not have to vent the hole YMMV.
I have used about any liquid that will burn. Be safe, stick with alcohol unless you are in a serious jam.
The comments have a few inaccuracies. Apparently some people are confused about the various types of alcohol.
The last time I checked Heat contained Methanol not Isopropyl Alcohol. Still makes a good fuel just not IPA.
Denatured alcohol is Ethanol with various chemicals added to make it undrinkable. Makes a good fuel.
Isopropyl Alcohol is Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) not to be confused with other types of alcohol. A good fuel if it does not contain too much water.
No mouth wash contains Methanol. It is poisonous and will kill you if ingested.
(I don't want anyone to poison themselves by thinking any of these forms of alcohol are drinkable.)
Excellent video. Very clear step by step instructions. Thanks for mentioning the use of the penny as a relief valve.
+Seamus3051 Thank you!
+Seamus3051 Thank you!
Dude! I've been wondering when I would see Jiujitsu overlap with my other main interests! Making stuff, fixing stuff, outdoors, increasingly firearms, and jiujitsu! I like you! Subscribed!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel!!
So proud of you and your dedication to your channel!! Almost at 75,000 subs!
Thank you so much for this video. I live in a very cold climate and we often lose hydro. Last time my daughter and I wanted some morning coffee so bad and no way to make it. But I believe I can make a penny stove like yours. Only problem left for me is how to put the coffee pot on it. Thanks again and stay safe and healthy.
Thanks! Took literally 5 minutes to make and works great! Now, I need a light/strong/cheap grill to hold a small pot.
that's amazing thank you for stopping by!
I laughed seeing the result at the end man there is so many usefull things to do with every day junk thanks for sharing !
thank you!
+jiujitsu2000 so nice!!!! but next time dont make your stoves high that much, because the more its higher the more heat you have to give it to keep the vapor inside and glide the the holes. I had so much problems to make one of these, but at the end I foud a small nivea can and punched holes in it and its working good!!
+bassel AL moukaddem awesome my friend thank you for sharing your thoughts I hope you have a beautiful day
Thanks !!
+bassel AL moukaddem :-)
Thanks for the video. I work with homeless people here in Spain. I will show people how to make them. Such things as camping are just too expensive
Nice project. I used something like this back in Vietnam. I took a small c ration can and used a P38 can opener (The military guys will know what that is) to cut holes all the way around top and bottom in the sides of the can. We had nasty heat tablets we could use for fuel but the fumes were horrible. So, we opened a Claymore mine and dug out the C-4. If I remember correctly I rolled a piece to about marble size and lit it with my Zippo lighter. I sat my canteen cup on top of the can. The flame was white hot and burned long enough to boil water for a dehydrated LRRP meal. Never had one blow up in my face.
Sorry about the earlier comment .It was my mistake that I didn't put the penny on the stove. I thought that I will have no problem if the flames started to rise from the middle of the stove. But I tried this once more and I was 100% successful! Thank you very much for the video and the information.
Ive seen for some time but never made one, im sure they work great! Might be good for camping but in a long term or even short term survival situation that alcohol may be more precious for other things. Just a thought, thanks for posting...
Exactly! Thank you
Wow... this is awesome... very helpful and cheap... this kind of videos is what I call productive. Well done man.
+Jonathan Pnd They work well. Thank you!
being retired i am always looking for small projects to keep me occupyd ,so thanks for aan hour or so messing about in my shed.
By far the best penny stove video I've ever seen. Doesn't call for anything fancy and unnecessary, just simple and to the point. I do have to call you out on one thing though, I honestly doubt that stove is putting out 8,000BTU/hr. I might be wrong on that, but a pocket rocket only puts out 8,200BTU/hr, and I've never seen an alcohol stove boil water anywhere near that fast.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support you get my channel I appreciate you stopping by as far as the btu output rating that was just a guess if I remember correctly. Have a beautiful day my friend
If you want you can learn from woodprix scripts how to make it yourself.
+Kathern Pernell Thank you!
I love it Kathern
I made one lastnight but I made mine a double wall with the aluminum ring that fits inside the ring at the bottom of the can then seals to the ring on the top when it is pressed together. after the heat and pressure came up and the jets kicked in it stayed lit for 45.min and boiled a quart of water really well using 70% rubbing alcohol. I also made another one (Double Walled) that has the center ring in the top completely removed and is stuffed full of cotton. It burns about 30.min but burns like a can of sterno fuel. It is nice though because the fuel wont spill. These are pretty fun to make and could come in handy. They actually produce quite a bit of heat. enough to warm up a small room if you really have too. I have been a survivalist (prepper) since I was 13 and I am 44 now. I enjoy making and testing new stuff. It is a fun hobby.
Best way to Prime this Stove is from 'below' - just a little fuel dripped underneath, like you did at (18:20); If you try Preheating from the Centre as you did initially you might find (As I did) that A) Not enough heat is reaching the internal alcohol as it rests below the Priming Flame & B) Fumes escaping from the internal reservoir 'might' ignite around the Penny causing you to burn your internal fuel before it has a chance to Pressurize/Boil.
I rest my Penny Stove on a bit of Foil/Aluminum in which I drip a little fuel which works every time.
Great Video btw thank you; The crimping technique you used was a neat trick - one I will remember (I've seen people doing small cuts in the perimeter of the bottom can in order to get it to fit , but I would worry about that split travelling down at some point and causing a leak)
Thermal distorsion can certainly help getting those cuts down and cause a leak. Good thinking.
I just made one and it works great!! I only used rubbing alcohol and it burned for 15 min till I blew it out, there was still half the amount of alcohol left! I cant wait to use this to percolate some coffee on my next hiking trip. also, I used a new penny.... and it worked just fine. Thanks for the video!
+runeski74 Sweet comment! Thank you for sharing the info... Thank you for stopping by. Have a beautiful evening!
Great video! Can I improve the burning time safely using a bigger can?
Wonderful and simple and easy without cost thank you
One hell of a brilliant little video on how to make an effective (and very cheap) stove that will make life seem a little bit more worthwhile.
Thanks jujitsu.
+kevvome Thank you!
Good stuff! thanks for your service. I tool your advice, used a Sterno folding stove, a tuna can lid for the base, used 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and after primed, boiled 2 cups of water in an open top canteen cup in 7 min and 50 seconds. I threw in a Romen Noodle soup and ate lunch. put the cap on that you made and a week later it still had alcohol in it! Your the man! keep 'em coming!
OORAH!
LEATHERNECK OUT!
awesome comment! thank you for the support and kind words. I loved serving my country and if I was needed, I'd go back in a heartbeat. have a great day! Hooyah!! :-)
I've been promoting you page to all my military, law enforcement and hunting friends. Im disabled, USMC retired but I enjoy sharing good stuff to my prepper friends. Thank again for your great Ideas.
+Brian Doherty thank you as well! for all your service and for everything!!
great video. step by step instructions. I made one with no problems but when I lit it, it blew up. what did I do wrong
thank you, what kind of fuel did you use? these are for alcohol only
+jiujitsu2000 I used 91% isopropyl alcohol. All I had at the time
+Lynn Bauldree that's a good fuel. did you spill it all over the stove and create a fire around the stove? if so this will create very high pressures. did you use a push pin to make the burner holes?
you can use three coke can alloy or tin sheets and make either flat designed panel sheets and hinge them to fold flat using wire for hinges. then erect them as a wind protective screen and pot support just like those ones that are designed for use with the Nesbit solid fuel tablets which the army use as they have small flames and u can even dig a small hole in the ground and put this stove in there resting your pot of water just above the ground
Great tutorial on building a great little stove. Thanks for sharing!!
Just made this and it actually worked. Only thing I had different was I had a mini screwdriver that I made into a poker, was much easier to poke the holes and I also have ductwork crimpers that made a perfect crimp for connecting the 2 pieces. Made this in less than 5 minutes. Thumbs Up!
thanks for share... nice job
good job just so you know to run a gas stove 15 minutes here is 2 dollars but with this stove for a dollar in alcohol you get 2 hours run time almost so i am not bored i am frugal and saving money
Bottled gas sellers are filthy thieves. Prices for a small gas cardridge are extremely expensive. Would prefer butane or propane if it wasn't that expensif.
I made a few of these (similar) in the falklands during the war when we were let down by supplys and they delivered when they deliverd coke instead. Nice videobrother.
Great instructional, I just made this with you! It was super easy. Can't wait to use it and thanks :)
+robin mackey Thank you!
cool & Informative video
+Boy Pazaway Thank you for stopping by!
I’m planing on going on a camping trip up to my cabin and was wondering if this would be safe to use for heat in a enclosed area and would I be inhaling any toxins depending on what fuel I use
It needs ventelation like any fire. Thank you!
Sure glad I found your video first. Checked some other videos on soda can stoves and could not believe how complicated they were and so many tools etc. one would give up after a couple of minutes. Thanks again.
This project is one of the simplest and best described of all the 'penny can stove' vids I've watched today. You also had the foresight to know someone will ask how long they burn for! That was my main wonder. Great vid. Will share that around...
thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel! have a great evening!!
كريزي
That was Cool!
ok cool show how to make the grill to cook over it with a pan
I used a bigger can for mine
Just made 2 of these and they work perfectly thanks for the awesome info and directions!
This is the BEST video/tutorial
on the subject I have ever seen!!
You are a Great Teacher...
Thank YOU for sharing this...
+Judi Christopher thank you for the amazing kind words and support you give my channel. Have a beautiful day
Great video thanks man.
wes tau
cool stove
Thank you!
i actually learn something on u tube after viewing more than 10,000 videos. Very useful and interesting. thx man
Thank you for stopping by! these stoves work well and are lots of fun!
Very concise ...and that makes it easy. That last little bit where you threw the coke bottom on top of it ...looked very clean afterwards, but throwing something at burning alcohol ...well you know if many people do it, someone is going to start a fire. Why not leave a small tab on that coke bottom so you could use it as a small handle like they had on candle snuffers?
And I saw someone question about a place to put the pot. If you going to stay in the frugal status ...then find a food can that's bigger in diameter and taller, and cut it down to where it's a couple of inches taller, then make vertical cuts about two inches down and fold every other one down (keeping them all the same height) and voila! You have a pot stand. Just put your alcohol burner in the center of the larger can and set your pot on top. Keep the ideas coming.
what if we try with gasoline instead of alcohol
Don't try. Air and gasoline may cause explosion, may be sooty too.
Pio Sian
kaboom, anything with a low flash point don't use, anything like Naphtha or gasoline. use fuels like alcohol a because your food won't taste like the stove fuel you used and b its not likely to blow up in your face
I was going to make a immature comment but I saw the result and…awesome flame I watched it all the way to the end !

I lost my Swedish design Tangier Stove which this design is based upon and I really appreciate this video thankyou now I will be able to make and replace it. If you place a wind guard metal skirting around this little stove or a metal cyclinder like a tin with holes in it to rest your cooking mess tin or pot you will really cook in no time at all. I cycle tour across Europe and I prefer not to hassel with cooking and eat raw vegetables and tinned tuna, sardines while on the road and then make up for it with a good meal in the the city but this stove has excited me to get back to some homemade cooking spaghetti carbs loading on the road. I also take my dog now in his doggie hut trailer and he would love some cooked stew for a break from doggie tinned food added to his boring biscuits. love this stove thanks dude!
explanations are short and to the point.I like the ease of the build. Willl do one myself.
Thanks Bernard.
Thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel! Have a beautiful day!!
I wonder if this is cheaper than conventional gas stove
yamaha4759 .
titileci daniel what
Noooooo
very cool dude , I like it and will remember it if I need to bug out and survive , but where will I find a steak to cook ?

Tyronne Shoelaces
Sum ting Wong! .. when you go fishing you should have fish to BBQ!
@@johnbeaver7537 that's for dinner ar camp site with fire pit going.
it looks so nice! thank you for sharing the idea.
Wow. What a nicely made video. I followed along and made my own adorable little stove. Now I'm taking it into the North Cascade Mountains in Washington State. I'll be thanking you when I'm cooking my breakfast!
+cathy townsend Thank you!
"kind of like a fart".. really? that's the best analogy you could come up with?! hahaha
+bkl 420 ha ha!
JIUJITSU2000 hahaha u hot shit!!
bkl 420 sometimes I say whatever comes to mind. lol
lol
Mark Brough yup
"Kind of like a fart almost"
best description for this type of stove on youtube .. thumbs up
thank you!!
I made one and I like it. This is the easiest of the soda can stoves on youtube.
awesome! thank you!!
My stove was stolen and ended up in this video looking for something how i can make fire temporarily for me to cook rice hahaha. Im serious about my stolen stove btw
+Allan Bartolome Dang! That's a bummer. Thank you for stopping by!
+jiujitsu2000 hey man! it really works! I have bottles of lighter fuel at home. Will it also work the same? Havent tried it yet im afraid it might explode lol. Thinking of bringing this to a mountain hike
How do you even steal a stove
Now you see, now you don’t! Oh ohh my stove got stolen…or it grew legs and walked off on it own 😂😂😂
This was an awesome video. I'm gonna make one. Off topic but can you tell us what camera you were using to make this video? It has great color, focus and was good at the macro shots too. Thanks!
thank you! I used a HD Sony handi cam
Very nice informative video. Your verbal instructions were perfectly clear (appreciate the safety advice) and your shots were nicely focused. Great job. I'll be making one of these soon, just to add to my post-apocalyptic skill set.
+anon ymous thank you for the very kind words and support that you give my channel. Please feel free to check out my soda can stove video as well it's very similar to this one and soda cans are everywhere
Did it, works great, I have a large plant pot over it right now heating my workshop :)
sweet! does it heart pretty well? I've been experimenting with ideas on that topic. making a small inexpensive heater
congratulations guy !

would it be ok if i used a quartar
A quarter would work 25 times better.
+Paul Niebergall haha lol I see what ya did there
n
Kelvin Lewis.
Very nice, well done!
If I may, please remove any fuel containers to a safe distance while you're lighting or using the neat little stove burner. If by accident something goes wrong the situation is not compounded by an abundance of flammables near by.
thank you!
I'll have to make a few of those to add to my prepping supplies. Very cool man. Thanks for sharing
they work great!
Perfecto Folk!

Thanks for the video. It is a simple, easy and efficient way to make a spirit stove.
常瑞鈞 You're welcome, Thank you for stopping by!
like si vienes por un poco de todo
CAUTION!!!
Choose your 1982 penny wisely....In mid-82 the penny metal composition changed. It went from 95% copper, and 5% zinc to 97.5% zinc, and 2.5% copper(copper-plated zinc). So not all 1982 pennies are created equal. If in doubt check the weight. Using a Gram scale, 95% copper pennies weigh 3.11 grams. The 97.5 Zinc pennies weigh 2.5 grams. If you have no way of checking the weight of the 1982 penny, be on the safe side, find your self a 1981 or older penny.
Lol
+mark miera
Is that a penny ante concept ?
Who says " Pennies dont add up, or money makes the world go 'round"? L.O.L.
+mark miera If you get it wrong, with a Zinc Penny, and a temp of 786 deg.F, it could cost you BIG, like a Penny! I'm going to have to try a new penny myself, cause I live on the Wildside!
I enjoy watching your penny can video and I’m going to make one myself
can't wait ! I'm making one as I watching your video again!!!
+MrSIXGUNZ Sweet!Thanks
nice. put a hotdog on a fork and cook it
Richard Samaniego Over methylated spirit fumes?
