the suction cup repurposing was the best part of this whole video! genius!
Finally- a stove with an afterburner X^D
Probably more powerful than Apples new afterburner lmao
yay love to see Alex on another channel
please have more of Alex videos he's awesome
i remember this guy from a Jimmy DiResta Video of making a pizza cutter. So happy to see his innovation with burners! I work in food and hospitality and really enjoyed this branch out to our industry.
Ive got to do this for my woks. I miss cooking Asian cuisine in the traditional way. It's so much better when you can melt your face off just by staring too long.
Ik. Moving into new home. my new stove burner isn't that powerful.
You got something really special here in this channel. Awesome work man!
Great video, hope to see more of you on make.
More cooking gadget videos with Alex please
check out his channel he's got some stuff there ;)
i love alex, great to see him getting recognition
Amazing Alex! I found your cooking channel first, but I love this content on Make also.
Very cool video and build project!
Cheers,
John
I had no idea Alex used to be an engineer
I didn't know either but i always wondered how he could do complex mathematical equations.
@@jeantsaiaviation they are not complex. it's barely highschool level
@@mentalitydesignvideo i am from suriname and we mainly have dutch education system and at a high school level you have a difference were you go to more a part where you get science,moore in depth math,chemistry but the other option it is more based on economics and accounting etc and i do the 2nd one that's why it seems complex for me.
@@jeantsaiaviation and I grew up in the USSR and this was kid stuff, for 12-13 y.o. kids.
@@mentalitydesignvideo well i am dumb or your schools are great.
I have become enamoured of his thoughtful design, French logic, and just a soupçon of lunacy. I like this channel.
Brilliant guy. Great peace of engineering. Kudos.
One of Alex’s best inventions yet!
Love this video because 1) Never expected a french cook to like stirfry! Happy with that 2). I did experience this exact issue. I do hope in the future they will have a high btu butane stove similar to what whas done here commercially.
Nice to see you here at Make: Alex
Excellent work!
i will spread it like butter
Lahiru Madawanarachchi Wisdom
You spelled butter wrong. It's spelled "Ba'haa"
Alex about time you got verified
What do you mean ? On youtube ?
WOW!! I am extremely impressed!!! 😀😀 well done sir 👍🏼👍🏼
You have solved the very problems that I am on a journey to solve myself!! Smart ideas!
OK great contraption. To Maximize concentration on the cooking and ease of use, I would add a foot switch mechanism so that the 2nd booster flame can be used at will.. The 2nd booster flame is at low output all the time, when U need to boost the heat, use the foot switch.
Allan Teo Sounds right
make it voice activated, so you can cook and shout FIRE! FIRE! :-)
Thanks for the video. I have a propane stove like they use to Fry Turkeys. It sits on the ground and connects to a BBQ grill 20 lb. propane tank. Haven't used it for 20 years but am going to get it out and try. I bought it to cook for groups when camping.
I ought to have applied myself a bit more in shop class.
This looks like fun.
This is CRAZY. Im gonna try to make one
I use the propane burner from our turkey fryer to stir fry... outside. Plenty of heat.
John Conklin Sounds great. I d love to try that
Alex French Guy Cooking Those turkey burners have infinitely adjustable propane regulators on them that allow MASSIVE amounts of fire. I put one on my regular gas grill (which they advise you expressly not to do) to properly sear steaks. I'd also imagine I wouldn't have any problem using a wok directly on the grill either... From the factory it's rated at, I think, 75,000btu across all 3 burners and I'm confident I can at least doubled that, so 50,000 btu/ea.
More food for thought!
Same here... combine that with Lodge's massive cast iron wok and the heat/heat retention is insane. However, I have to use a huge chinese spatula and ladle to move the food because aint nobody picking up, shaking and dumping food out of that thing.
Great Idea Bud,well done X
love your lab bro!
dude, you insane, and I mean that in a good way. You are of my league. You need to get a plat and make these things, I'd buy one. Great video
Nice project. Ever noticed how the power output of these stoves drops during use? That's due to the adiabatic expansion of the gas cooling down the canister(s) and dropping the pressure. You'd actually have to heat the canister to compensate for that so the stove might work better without the heat shielding.
Outstanding. You are great!!
Really nice touch with proleter 😍
Marcel Leuenberger He's the best
This French boy is a rock star!! Love is enginuity.
Thanks for this video, you are a master.
OH THE ACCENT
I LOVE IT
the famous camembert accent
Hey Alex! I would love to see a intake fan pushing air to the wok. I think it might give you a better burn and better heat density!
nicely done
freaking awesome...
a few minor tweaks and you have an awesome product!
*some companies would sell it as is... LOL
That's a great modification Alex. If only they could be mass produced.
Outstanding!
Bonne modification ! J'ai bien aimé !
wow! just what i needed
Genius! I wish I could make one, as I hate electric hob and would only need 1 gas hob for flash frying and stir fry!
at around :30 seconds ...love that sound!
Excellent engineering
sehr gutes Video,danke
i like the way This guy is thinking !
"A former engineer" that explains all the gadgets you've made.
More of Alex please!
also it explains former, as this shit is ghettorigged
@@bishplis7226 I mean, to actually properly engineer this would require more effort and some more serious fabrication. Being able to ghettorig something and make it work is a skill in itself.
this is awesome!
Great Video!!
good job--- i wish i know how. thank you so much.
I've stir-fried with a wok for 45 years but if I ever had to these lengths to use this Butane stove, I'd give it up altogether!
This is AWESOME!!!
It would be nice to add a pedal to controle the second flam.
i think you need gas controller out from the stove it may pretty hot if you use regural gas control on your portble stove
you can get a wok stand from any Asian grocery store and you can purchase a dual source burner which can use either butane or propane. I use mine like an indoor barbecue similar to Korean style using an indoor stovetop grill. Have you considered a hydrogen fuel cell to generate hydrogen gas to cook with. Will give you higher temperatures.
what a innovation!
Good one!
You can never be a former engineer. Once an engineer, always an engineer.
Bravo!
Very cool!
This is epic!
The opening took me a bit off guard, but what a cool project!
I would like to see how much time it takes the modified stove would get a liter of water up to boiling compared to the original design. Also, thanks for showing that two saw pizza cutter I couldn't figure it out what it was designed for.
You can buy off Ebay, really quite cheap, those big rings road menders use to melt buckets of tar. Get a small one and run it off a big cylinder of propane.
I too use this kind of burner to cook chinese at home and would love to try and make one like this if you could provide a parts list and instructions
Hey Alex, amazing video. How much did the whole thing cost ?
You should have a nozzle made off brass right before the circular nozzle, as you can see at 4:05. It should be enough to enlarge it to 1 or 1,5 mm for more gas flow.
Ferdi G. Interesting but why brass ?
I am also wondering why you would use brass when it is such a soft metal it would probably melt
Alex French Guy Cooking well, brass is easy to turn and not very expensive. most fittings, valves or nozzles for gas and waterpipings are made of brass.
also it doesnt corrode or rust.
WyvernKiller02 nope it wont melt, it just acts as a flow limiter. The flame never "touches" the brass nozzle. Also brass has a pretty high melting point of up to 950 °C
Thanks
amazing
That’s great!!
could you do a similar thing with induction?
Awesomeness
I want one like that !!
Best video EVER!! why to go man. WOW :-0)
I have always wondered if a Bunsen burner + Wok on a ring mount would be the most efficient set up. Could a Bunsen burner generate enough heat?
I'm here because I'm a chef, and I needed this before Alex showed me how!
Nice hack in order to cook in a round bottom wok. Me I use a flat bottom but yeah, I understand. I have a gas grille with a side burner rated at 20Kbtu. I bet an adapter for that would work.
Alex is the best youtuber ever.
How about a link to the camping stove you used as a center burner?
Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you had decent ventilation, can this be used indoors?
It seems to me that second burner you added is more powerful and it alone could do the job.
Hi Alex - is it possible to hook up that camping burner to a MAPP gas bottle? Those burn good and hot. They come in bigger bottles too, might last longer.
awesome food!!
Awesome
Can i just use a modified propane blowtorch?
What about using a grass/weed torch positioned vertically?
awesome
That suction cup is genius
i hope this guy made millions out of his contraption, i can see a que for miles! i been sleeping outside halfords to buy something like this, shame it doesnt open on sundays
Like it, will think about building the Ring and concentrator. Any advice on a grill plate for Asian / Korean grilling with a portable stove in Europe is welcome.
Monsterpala They sell ones on Amazon. cast iron I think...
Reminds me of a rocket stove. How long does a cannister last?
I want to see the build for the steak dry-aging machine
ua-cam.com/video/bxFxeod14ZM/v-deo.html
Thanks! This guy's fun to watch.
Try converting the burner that comes with a propane bbq so we can have an outside wok burner. I can follow a video and build most things but I dont have the engineering mentality to figure it out very well.
Wow, great design. Came here after trying to build a proper wok stand from a camping stove and an old chopping board. I made the holes in the supporting ring too small, the flame died in seconds. So I'm pretty sure they're not to let heat out, as Is said in the video, but to let CO2 escape. Next up is trying to add more oxygen by a fan, if anyone has tried this pls share
I approve of your Frenchie-ness.
Though it may not necessarily be a problem, I do think a small warning or instruction for any modifications using stainless parts appropriated from other functionalities would be appropriate just in case of galvanized parts. You don't want people burning off a zinc coating indoors in an enclosed space if they don't even know it's a possibility.
AARONMACKENZIE if it's stainless it's not galvanised
He did say stainless, and those are baking molds, they can't be galvanized.
Hi Alex, enjoy your videos! We have some US Navy folks on my barbecue forum who would LOVE to see your next video in grey sweatpants, hope you can accommodate them! (it's that season, you know...)
smart idea.
