Watched 3 of your stove videos & had too subscribe. I'm building this tin can stove right now out of the cans I save for recycling... the ones I haven't crushed yet. :)
I think I'll make several & put 1 in my camp bag.
just wanted to thank ; I watched your video when you first did your video a few years ago i have made several. and do work shop at a. primative skills and flint knap , THANKS
What about those wood chip and wax pucks?can those be used in these stoves?basically a varient of a buddy burner.same thing used in those stove in a can things that are a bit gimicky.but if some more directed airflow is applied maybe it can be a bit more efficient.thing id like to see is if the soot would be reduced.

i have made 15 of them for our homeless in my area. got some real cheep 2 cup cooking pots at dollar store. cheep bags of self lighting charcoal. and many cases of top roman. and gallons of water. and single coffee & cups. we were able to bless them just before the cold hit. got my Sunday school class to help me build them made a assimilable line making and packing them up. and now my kids are coming up with other ways to help and bless people in a low point of there life's.
Out of all the horrible thing one hears in most UA-cam comment sections, reading that was a rather touching moment. It's good to see the love of Christ being shared with those who need it most, in a very practical and beneficial way. That's a good example to set, and there was a lot of good humanity in that act. Bravo!
Brilliant to hear 🕺💙
You're a genuinely good person man hope you are still doing similar things after the years
That's an absolutely brilliant idea. 👏💕
God bless you!
I have used this design and it works very well. It's also way lighter than any similar mass market stove. I did one thing different. I used a sideways can opener to open the large can. That way the top will fit back on, and more importantly, stay on. That allows me to store a penny alcohol stove inside the big can and underneath the small can. I also found a plastic bottle that would fit inside the small can, so I always have a backup in case of burn bans, wet wood etc. I used a drill grinding stone to smooth the rough edges from drilling the holes into the small can so they would not puncture the plastic bottle full of alcohol. Thanks for the inspiration!
Well no wonder mine didn't work, you need to take the beans out of the can.
Best comment by far!
hahhahahha
After you eat the beans you'll have yet another source of gas.
Max Hughes why the hell would you post this twice?
Max Hughes nah s***
That has to be the most intense wood gas stove video i have seen so far .
*insert Rick Flair "WOOO!" here*
I was shitting myself . Music
I made this last night, It's a GREAT design! and worked Great!
Thanks for all the great video's you have posted! I look forward to watching more!
I just made this stove and discovered you can use a tuna can on top of the stove to suspend your cooking pot instead of the wire mesh. Just cut out the sides. It will store in the bottom no problem.
I know we are all into different things... but I find it weird in a person to not find this really interesting and fun, on at least some level, camping, science, efficiency... things like that. very american, in the best possible way.
Daniel Murray I think you may have replied to the wrong guy. I like this vid.
this is for vance
+Daniel Murray - YOU ARE FUCKING DUMB !!!!! LEARN HOW TO READ !!! LMFAO
Oh so awesome! I've seen a few other versions and their how-to's...but this is by far the best! I absolutely love how you simplify the steps, showing the pertinent details, and don't muddle it all up with narration! These are so clear and concise - definitely an example for anyone else attempting a how-to vid!
I am collecting a variety of can sizes to start experimenting. I can't wait to be among the initiated!!! Count me in!!! :-)
Thanks John!
Nice video mate - enjoyed it!
Just made one, thank you for the "How To" I can't wait to take it camping and test it for real. :)
Hi from New Zealand,Excellent and simple, Thank you for sharing.
My favourite kind of video. DIY. Simple. Well produced and demonstrated. Perfect.
Thank you. Needed a wood burner for a science project of my son. It worked so good, I will use it now for camping too.
My 10-month old daughter likes your music choice. She bounces in rhythm with the song.
Dick Tracy it's porn music....
I like how you used the beans to cook at the end.... I as thinking of them all the time... haha
I've seen three videos on this type of stove now and yours was the only one that actually made me want to try it. I'll need some tin snips, but other than that I'm good to go. Your videos are quick and to the point. Thank you, and please keep it up.
Well done! No b.s.- straight forward- clear and simple. Thanks for the video.
Heh, I just decided the other day I was going to make one of these. Thanks, you saved me from figuring a few things out. Glad to know there's a smaller option than the paint can one.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and for leaving such positive feedback :-)
The best instructable i've seen, so far. Thank you!
I picked up some tin snips and new drill bits!! Thanks much and blessings 😇🇺🇸
Thanks Brother... much appreciated!
AWESOME TUTORIAL! I even love the music! TFS luv! ♥ dig
Cómo se llama la música?

Super cool build! I’m going to get one of those done for my camp trip next week. I think it will make coffee super easy in the mornings
Yes! My husband made one exctly like that and I could cook on it very well! We took it with us from time to time when walking through the woods. Hope more people will try this. It's such fun! Nice vid. Keep up the good work.:-)
It gives a whole new meaning to "I'm gonna use the can."
Right on Brother! Glad to hear they've been helpful :-)
Your videos have beans very helpful !
Just found my Sunday project!! Great video.
I watched this video and made one myself it came in handy on a rainy camping trip in the Ocala National forest!
Hey there Mike... always great seeing your comments man! I'm really happy to hear that this stove worked out well for you on your trip! Speaking of which... I hope that you had a great time out there brother!
Use a 1 quart paint can and a Progresso soup can. They will fit up perfectly with no cutting.
I'd be real careful using the paint can. You have to make sure every ounce of paint is removed and the can washed out. You don't want any remnants of paint fumes being burned into the food.
ron joseph
I purchase new paint cans at Lowes. But a very real concern if someone should use used cans.
+MrOldclunker Good point. I never thought of buying empty paint cans. Don't I feel dumb now. lol
خوفا
Noice!
Basically the same thing I was doing as a Cub Scout 60 yrs ago.
Great video - I think the simplest and clearest one I've seen for making this type of stove . Thanks
Just finished making mine. Thanks for the vid. It turned out great!
Just built one and it works great!
It's amazing how efficient it is compared to a normal campfire. No smoke and fed with just some twigs, even the wet peaces started burning in no time bc they were so small
Nice , and thanks :)
Thanks... and you're welcome :)
Looks like a classic hobo stove. Finally, one that suits me AND works well.
Use a second larger can on top of this. Rig the stand-off pot stand above this second can. A fire that's slow & sullen in the base unit , with this second tall an now is a healthy fire roaring above the height of the second can.
This borrows from the lessons of the rocket stove: keep the fire contained in a taller conmbustion tube for more complete burn.
Great idea.
Just made this tonight and it worked perfectly!!
Truly a master of the DIY Improvised Stove. Love your vids. Keep them coming!
Small Cambells soup can fits perfect in pull top Cambells chucky soup can and removes one step of cutting out bottom of large can. good video though!
Thanks for taking the time to pass that tip on those cans along Steve... appreciate that. Really glad to hear you liked the video by the way! :)
Ingenious, Thanks, years ago I saw something similar with a handle, it was used to start charcoal then you would pour the hot coals into the BBQ
That's called a Charcoal Starter
Nicely done. I love the circular conclusion.
one of the best designed and executed homemade stove's I've ever seen, well done.
you should put some electrical tape around the can b4 drilling stops bit sliding saves using ur finger to guide the bit,cracking stove tho mate,Atb.
@Rad Derry On a tin?!
Just use a 9 mm.
You need a step drill bit, my man.
We bought one of these John and they are amazingly efficient & easy to use. Thanks for showing us how to make one. Another informative video
Wow that was nice. The best stove tutorial I've ever seen.
That` a real good design, in the purist sense. Folks don`t understand the concept of "afterburning" the wood gas produced by burning any organic biomass, like what yo0u have done. With all the untrained out there in youtubeland building stoves and calling them all sorts of popular names, not understanding the roots of these things.
These sorts of stoves will greatly reduce your smoke output and leave your cookware pretty clean of soot, plus there is no signature, so no one can easily pinpoint your location.
don't know if this is a stupid question but how many times do you figure you can use this product?
DragonUdo I made one and I have used it several times. They work really good, you just have to keep an eye on the fuel. It runs out kind of quick.
DragonUdo I was in a. Miners camp from the 50s the cans there work just as good as today 700000 cans all size some not made now bit rust that work
i just went and made a mini version of this. real quick and it works fantastic! thanks for the video.
This is great. You're a genius! Thanks for the video.
THanks man you made me save at least 100$ cdn dollars !! haha i made this stove instead of buying a Solo Stove aka rippoff at 100$ lol THANKS NICE VIDEO !!!!!! I LOVE IT i even made another part on top of my can so i can feed the fire while my pot is on :)
Kim Jong-Un create the tutorial video and post on YT.
it will be great
great video , cheers
Thank you very much :)
All the best! -John
+IntenseAngler can it work with wood pellets?
+I-Love-CO Mountains if it burns. it can be used.

Thanks so much for making this video! I made a smaller version to take on my ultralight thru hike(3.3oz). It worked flawlessly without the pot on. Just tossed a match in their and it burned for 10 mins with no feeding. All the wood burned leaving no ash. Next to make the stand and then I'll test with the pot! Thanks for putting these out here
Amazing, I have been searching for such tutorial for long time, thank you beyond numbers.
You're very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment by the way... it is truly appreciated :)
Nice music bro..what the title of this song
Excellent video! I'm going to try that.
Wayne Novotny i'm did it then too :)
Simple, yet effective. Not the best, not the worst. Great music!
Nice! Good, clear instructions. The closeups of the cans are nice and clear. Thanks.
Good visual but what happened to dialogue? It would have actually been interesting. That "music" drove me mad.
David Cooper
I like the music...
mute button...
The volume can be turned off. 😉 That's what I did.
Dialogue is between 2 or more persons. Just sayin'.

He should have used Chile soup. Then mixed them both to eat 😁👍
Fantastic! Love the minimalist way of doing things.
I did it just like you showed and it went flawlessly thanks a ton
Not meaning to be that guy, but this isn't a wood gas stove, wood gas is produced by heating wood with no open flame, charing the wood and releasing a flammable gas, this is just a wood stove
Wrong. Wood gas is ALSO released when wood is burnt and usually just escapes into the air. By allowing for it's capture, it can be burnt as fuel and the name wood gas stove is absolutely appropriate for this.
@@believeit3203 No, you're incorrect. A gasifier (which is what is implied by the title) produces gas from wood by heating it in an atmosphere with little or no oxygen, and the gas produced is then burnt separately by mixing with air afterwards - in the same device, but it's fundamentally different from just setting the wood on fire, which is what this stove is about
@@believeit3203 Just to add - the key point about gasifiying wood is that it enables you to burn the wood much more efficiently and produce more heat and less carbon monoxide. A few steam locomotives also use that technique for burning coal, and it produces ash that's much easier to handle as well.
It is a stove. Wood gas is being produced and wood gas is burned at the top of the stove when it meets the heated air from the top of the stove. The term wood gas differentiates it from stoves that are not double wall and do not efficiently capture and burn the wood gas produced.
Way too late, but It works better if you have fewer holes in the bottom of the small can. You want some air to flow in there, but not too much. Right now your fuel i burning up too fast, with too little hot air able to come in from the sides, hence the yellow flame. A flame with enough oxygen would burn blue.
A modification of this design would be to create a venturi effect over the lower holes, sucking air out and creating a downdraft in the fuel stack.
Jelle B It would be awesome if you could make a video of the better design, or give us a link to someone who has. Also, one video said that the chimney height should be 3x the diameter in order to get the most efficient gasification, does that sound about right?
You are wrong about the flame color thing. the reason it burns orange is because there are impurities in the flame which gives it an orange tint. So the flame burns blue when there are no impurities.
+Atomicsteamengine yes, those 'impurities' are soot-partices, that result from incomplete combustion. And that comes from too much fuel gas/too little air.
Jelle B By too little air, do you mean primary or secondary?
Jelle B The thing is, impurities don't burn. They're impurities.
I made and tested one this morning. Works beautifully. My son and I will use it this evening to cook some fish he caught yesterday. Thanks for posting. I look forward to many more projects from your channel.
Thanx a million. I made one and it rocks.
Burns really well. Thanx for saving me $120 CDN. I wanted to buy one. No need now
Bug out bag here this diy gadget comes.
I was eager to try to make this stove however I don't like Beans & Bacon so I couldn't do it. Very disappointed!
Great video. I made one and it is great! Thanks for the clearest instructions.
Thanks for the video! I made one. Works like a charm.
I am making these damn things
You marked the circumference, not the diameter.
bigmouth...
Great video, I love the intense care in which the beans were saved for later. :-)
Wonderful, thank you!
Great idea! and dind't know in US you use fractions to measure drill bits, that's terrible =)
We still use the Imperial system here in the UK, so don't feel left out, you are not the only ones still using that system.
+Luca Roncone - What is up with Metric or Imperial System? I see that a lot of People like you going fucking CRAZY fighting over such things.... As long it get the Job done, that is all that matters. WTF is wrong with you STUPID PEOPLE ???
Back in the 80s a Canadian airliner ran out of fuel due to calculating fuel load as kilograms instead of pounds. Mistakes happen.
+A Nihtgenga - Ok, so it was a Human Error rather than the " Metric or Imperial System ". That Human shouldn't be living than.... Or FIRED His / Her arse at least !!! LMFAO
Jordan Bronson as a person that works at homedepot it matters since they arent the same it can affect screws and bolts
if u empty a tin and clean it and take the middle out of a full toilet roll and stick it in the empty can and pour alcohol or lighter fluid on till its good and fully soaked and light it , simple and much easier then just put the mesh on like he did, it lasts even longer aswell and fully wind proof
Not being a smart alec but, I get what you mean but, taking into account the bulk of toilet paper to carry and the expense (if you use often for cooking) might it not get a bit prohibitive? I'm guessing SCOTTS
toilet paper is not a good one to use.
just put the toilet paper in the empty can then u just need to cary the can dont u its better than goin threw the fuss of making that fuking thing
If going that route, then simply fill the tuna can with sand, then pour in camp fuel, torch fuel, ect, then light - smokes like hell but is a very fast way to heat up water or food in a hurry, even in full rain ;)
Mikhal Shire That idea was well know during WW2 as the Benghazi burner and still works.
Works great. Was successful on my first attempt. Thanks for the info.
Ive watched a few videos on how to make one of these stoves and yours are simply the best
I like your stove but since you lit the fuel directly and burnt the wood, it really is not a wood gas stove. If you only burnt the gas within the wood, you would be left with charcoal and that would be a wood gas stove. Your stove, is excellent, burnt the wood as fuel and so you have a wood stove.
I tend to agree. Wood gas stoves recirculate the gases to burn them so you keep a high efficiency and a cleaner burn. This is a nice design but is closer to a rocket stove. Not really sure if there are any advantages to this design since a rocket stove is easier to feed and more efficient.
Cary Howe
There are indeed advantages to simple TLUDS over rocket stoves when it comes to lets say, cooking on a large pot, canning, or pressure canning, etc. A proper sized TLUD with compressed wood pellets as fuel can burn for quite a long time while requiring no need to constantly feed like with rocket stoves.
@Dylan, I want to understand your post, but I cannot figure out your acronym TLUDS, and that one word is key to understanding what you meant. It may be that it was in the video but I watched it nearly a month ago and can not remember. Can you please tell me what TLUDS means? Thank you.
Sean Henderson top lit updraft
@Vader, buring wood not burning gas. Read the comment.
You need a little more talking and less music.
And you need a little more shut up and less wrinting.
This one is a keeper, small and compact, perfect for hiking / fishing trips. I'll be making one of these and it's going in the backpack. Thanks.
Works! Just made one, albeit I butchered it, works Great! Filled/stacked with tiny broken limbs rather tightly, lit and walla. Thanks!
The amount of people who don't understand what "wood gas" is astonishes me. Guys, "wood gas" has nothing to do with gasoline, wood gas is just smoke, it's the stuff that burns when you "burn wood" (besides charcoal at the last stage of combustion).
Awesome. This will be me when I get my own place. Making my cups of tea outside on home made stoves. Saving those pennies. One of the best stove videos I've seen yet.
Love that music. Can't wait to make this. Ok, let me dance.
not to be a dick or anything.......but why the hell woulnt I save the effort and just build a fire?
Bc this is a very good trail cooking fier and it's more effective
you can't always start a fire, but you may be able to use a stove like this. i've made a couple cruid attempts at these they are not too difficult to make but a little planning goes a long way and fuel...well free around here. unlike alcohol stoves and such. also you leave this behind no big deal, maybe use it on a later trip or make another one orwtvr...ther are huge versions of this in a lot of homes and sheds and such for heating purposes. very little smoke too. oh the "rocket stove" concept can be done with tin foil or srap metal or other materials. but you have to understand the concept of how it works first.
guys the convenience of this design is that you can simply throw in small bits f wood as you feel the need to do so, and because it burns hotter and cleaner there is very little charcoal chunks left unless you smother it like a bonfire.
I've built many a fires in precariously dry and windy areas, that would make most boyscouts cry in respects to being a fire hazard,,,, with minimum wind blockage sometimes...
Some very compelling reasons for stoves of these nature, are
1-Like stated, they are much more effecient than a regular campfire meaning you can get a much longer burn and more directed BTU's with use of much less fuel, meaning saving tons of time and energy gathering fuel,,, which in some places is somewhat harder to procure, but with a stove like this, often in these place you can reach next to your seat and have enough too cook a 5 course meal...
2- They can make lighting wet fuel much more simple,,, of course there are other ways to get stubborn wet fuel lit.
3- In extremely dry and windy conditions, you don't need to dig a hole or gather stones for a fire ring if there isn't a ring already at the place you want to heat up a quick meal or cup of coffee... That said, brings us to .,,,
4. You can actually break camp or just move the kitchen stove very quickly and bug out with the smolding embers still burning, ... Say you discover a large bees' nest getting extra lively in your immediate vicinity and just want to move the kitchen stove a quick 50 yards and get directly back to cooking.
5.Much less smoke if you are trying to be stealthy.... And or are trying to avoid one of them meals that taste more like fire smoke than what you actually cooked...
And again a good stove can burn only a hand full of twigs that took 3 seconds to swip up, good and hot,,, sometimes up to around 30 minutes.
6. These stoves make for a quick fire in fairly barren dessert systems.
I don't understand the point
back up camping stove or fire pit
lite and compact stove for back packing that can boil water and cook your meals.
when your electricity goes out, u can still cook.
Rebecca Glass I have had to use it for that before. Our power went out and had to use the stove to cook food for my children. Took forever, but it works.
Just finished making one, thanks can't wait to try it
Hell man....that was a great little vid! And so simple even I could make one!
Thanks and Peace Bro.
For the love of god, just SHARE THE FREAKING INFO. No need for porn music background, cheesy graphics and shit intro. You are not a film maker, just share the information in a clear fashion.
The action porn groove is legit
Quick and comprehensive, very good!
Just built it. This baby works great!! Count me in
Made it, its awesome. Fits my little cast iron pan and my little pot and stovetop espresso.
Great idea. One of the better diy videos I’ve seen. 👍👍
This invention is very practical. Thank you for your efforts
wow! so good info for coming times! Thanks
Great tutorial John mate! Always wanted to find a clearly explained video on how to make one of these stoves, and now I have it thanks to you! Appreciate it! All the best and MTFBWY!
Thank you, John for another great diy video. Easy to follow especially with the written follow along instructions. I am definitely going to try this. I made a few of you essential fishing kits and two of the pill bottle water filters. Thanks for helping this nubbie.
Very interesting I've made myself a similar one but it was a rocket stove, a bit bigger than that but still pretty light and compact and crazy hot. This is different but definitely worthy of trying out, specially just for its simplicity. Nice going!
