Good to know my friend!!!! Thanks a lot!! 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, USA. 🤠🐩🖖✝️
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Just back from a trip, it worked really well. I'm using it with the Zebra 14cm billy can as it nests inside that - will make another that nests into the 12cm if I can find something like these pencil holders. Many thanks.
After searching for a few weeks at different Dollarama’s in my region, I came to the same conclusion as you Mark. Was able to find the same version with the internal rolled lip on eBay for less than the Dollarama version albeit with the delay of waiting for it to arrive. In hindsight I regret not updating the previous video with what I’d discovered. Very happy that you shared the initial video and this update. Thanks for bringing such great content!
You are most welcome. I only ordered the one strainer from Aliexpress to be sure it would work. Now I wish I had ordered a few more. Yes, the shipping time can be long but I am patient...mostly. Thanks for commenting
I like this idea. I made mine out of a large tin can which I found on the street. It is practically weightless and it fits 750ml camping pot inside. I even made a little door on it too.
Very cool and thrifty. I am testing the Seige Stove out that makes instant hobo stoves out of just about any metal container. Video coming at some point. Thanks for commenting
Just arrived today. Thank-you for locating them as it was impossible to find them locally. Good companion for the Stanley. Speaking of which have you seen the "WayPoint Survival" playlist of Stanley cook set hacks (he's up to 15 now). Enjoy the cooler weather.
Note! The aluminum cross bars work great but keep in mind they can not be left on a hot flame/heat too long. They will warp or melt. If you keep a pot on them while heating food or water its not a problem (in my experience). When you remove your pot you should remove your aluminum cross bars. I have a leatherman type of tool that works on these cross bars.
@@duckman559 If you've got a dremel, buy a couple of matching cheap-o bread knives from a second hand store. Cut off the ends and make a lap joint in the middle. The steel blades hold up much better to heat, pack smaller, and offer a serrated edge in a pinch.
As has been mentioned, aluminum cross bars can melt under high heat. Happened in one of my videos. Now I am using stainless steel rulers I buy at Walmart of $0.97. I have a 3-part video on making a hobo stove that might be helpful with how to make the crossbars. Thanks for commenting
A question I had when viewing the two side by side was does the smaller diameter one (dollar store) fit inside of the Allie Express container? Might make a more efficient burner by preheating the incoming air if so.
I had not thought of that Lonnie. I just check and no, neither will fit one inside the other. They are almost identical in dimensions with the exception of the rolled out and rolled in rim
Hi Mark . Good find there ! They just work so well . I have to recommend something for you to try and review - The UCO grilliput flatpack ! It should be right up your alley , and it would be interesting to hear your mini-stove expert opinion on it . So far I am very happy with the one I just purchased. Cheers 🏕
Just realized there are a couple of UCO items that have grillput in the name. Just want to make sure you are referring to the camping grill made with tubes.
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Oh yes , the UCO “grill in a tube” looks quite handy too , but the one I am referring to is the one called Grilliput flatpack (foldable grill/stove/fireplace)
@@Spiritof48 Well that works out then. I have owned the small version for about 2 years and recently picked up the large version so I will eventually be making a review video for each. Which one do you own?
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Mine is the small one . One of the reasons I like it is that I have had quite good camp cooking results with it , both as a grill and with the frying pan , I find that it puts out a good moderate amount of heat .
Hi Mark, I've watched most of your videos on small camp stoves, and I'd like to ask if you've ever used an Ammo-Can Grill/stove. Their incredibly easy to make, store, and are very portable. I've made several for my friends and family, and they are our go-to "grill" for small easy meals. Nowdays, the only time we fire up the Webber is if we are cooking for more than 4 ppl, otherwise, the Ammo-Can Grill is the way to go. It is easy to place a skillet or pot on, and does a fantastic job on burgers, dogs, steaks, brats, grilled corn, etc. You can run pellets, wood, or charcoal; all with equally fantastic results. I'd love to see you make one and have you review it. Please let me know how to get in contact with you so that I can share some photos' of how I made mine.
Hello and thank you for your suggestion. I have not made an ammo can stove of any kind but would be interested in seeing the one you make. You can contact me though email under the "about" tab on my UA-cam channel home page or thought FaceBook under my name. I look forward to seeing what you have
mark, do you think it's safe to roast a hot dog over the wood fire usung the ikea and not get sick from any residue the stainless steel itself might create'. thanks bob c.
Very good question. I can't confirm the steel composition but can't imagine the chromium (or other dangerous metals) would be that high as to be a hazard. Actually, there may be more carcinogens in the wood smoke but I would not let that stop me. Still, it is something to consider. Wish I had a better answer
I made one from a walmart version. A modification I made was using a 120mm fan grill. If you bend the 4 mounting tabs downward it fits almost perfect on top. Then you have a combination grill for cooking/pot stand. drive.google.com/file/d/1QGZXHPUW4CxpBSF9jlTSYMB05DLTAz2v/view?usp=sharing

You are most welcome and thank you for your kind words
Just had my first go at making one of these hobo stoves. Thanks for your DIY vids Mark, they were very helpful. Looking forward to trying it out.
Let me know how it works out for you. Thanks for commenting

What's the name of the eBay seller?
Nice. I have a few of those types of stoves someplace in my house.
Thanks for the video
You sound like me...too many stoves to remember where they all are😅
Love these IKEA-style stoves! Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting

Thank you
You’re most welcome 😊
Thanks Mark! I will order one today.
Only issue is the shipping time. Can take up to a month. Thanks for commenting
Great finding just what's needed when Browsing, Thanks, Mark ! ATB T God Bless
Browsing can be almost as much fun as receiving. Kind of like the old Christmas catalogs of our childhood. Thanks for commenting Terry

Lots of stuff there. Thanks for commenting
I have ikea hobo aswell 😉👍, works great 👍
Good to know! Thanks for commenting
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!
Hey Mark..... do you have a video on how you make the aluminum cross bars?

North wind ...thank you very much..... great info...!
