- Homemade TIN CAN ROCKET STOVE. Simple DIY. no special tools required. easy clear directions. This stove is great! Items needed: 3 metal cans, gravel/sand and/or dirt! that's it. only tools i used were a hacksaw, pliers and a drill. powerful stove. wind and rain resistant. can cook full meals using very little fuel (leaves, twigs and small sticks). i've even fueled these stoves just on "junk mail!". if you like the vid. please rate, subscribe and share. notes: main body of stove (largest can) is a one gallon paint can. bought it at home depot for $5. medium sized can is a pasta sauce can and the smallest can is a standard size soup can. i used a 2 1/2" hole saw to mark (score) the paint can
UPDATE: (06/01/2018)… if interested, here’s a youtube video link to my newest rocket stove design. This one is also made with a one gallon paint can but has an extra-wide chimney, an extra-large fuel feed tube *and has a metal “shelf” built into the feed tube! UA-cam video link • Homemade STEEL CAN Roc... …lastly, here’s a bonus video link showing how to convert this newest one from a wood burning stove to a charcoal burning stove. • Homemade BBQ Grill!

Next time, fill it half full of water and put it in the freezer. After it's frozen just use your hole saw, the ice will support the cut.
I'll remember that. Good idea!
I haven't been on here for awhile it's been like 6 years or more and it's like my 1008th time using this Stove it's still going strong today. I always get asked at the beach what is that!! Then I show them by cooking burgers, chicken,hot dogs,steaks,pork chops,bacon and eggs and Brew my coffee as well as make soups on the beach everyone always says where's the flame and smoke I tell them it's virtually invisible and ask me if I want to sell it. I'm like no but I will gladly show you how to make one. Best stove I've ever had I just walk along the beach picking up thrash and dry driftwood and branches or even dry seaweed and burn that for hours on end. Still love it and use it almost every day.
Does the inner can ever burn out?
I’m a connoisseur of rocket stove video ideas onYT. This is brilliant. The fact that you have a north east accent is a bonus.
Just a tip for people trying to cut the hole in the first tin.. If you fill the tin with DAMP sand , then lightly drop the can from about 5mm off the ground to pack it in, place the lid on top of the can and lay the can on its side.. you can now easily use a whole saw to cut the tin. ;)
The ancient Romans used to heat their public baths using basically the same technology on a grander scale, heating both the floors and boiler for the water.Thanks for the tutorial. It's very instructive and useful in survival situations
One of the classiest looking DIY rocket stoves I've seen on the Internet
my kind of grill. made at home. kicks ass. portable. space heater. no corporate involvement. well done bro.
honda c90 you tube
Google owns the UA-cam, and is corporate! Thanks for the minority report....
Cans,drill, bits,and tools we live in corporate America.
Don't use this as a space heater without proper ventilation
I wonder how long can this can keep the heat after the fire inside has burnt out. (Maybe use inside the tent.)
I made one today and it seems to work good, going to use it when I go ice fishing. I traced the soup can with a pen onto the pail and the larger center can, drilled a starter hole, then used a solid knife (banana knife) to cut out the holes a 1/4 inch at a time. I put a hole in the center can instead of notching it as you did, because I wanted to keep the base on the center can. I only used sand so that it would pack in and stay in place better. For those wondering how to clean it out, the ashes fall out of the inlet (soup) can easily enough. Thanks for the vid!
IF YOU PUT WATER IN THE CAN AND FREEZE IT, YOU CAN DRILL RIGHT THROUGH WITHOUT BENDING THE CAN. CLEAN CUT
great tip cutting that circle is the hardest thing
great idea
+Tammy Noble Smart girl :D
Awesome idea!
Fucking brilliant idea but how do you ge the ice out?
You need a tray in the inlet that lets air in under the wood. You'll get a hotter fire.
more heat/not enough durable metal here.
Some brick and mortar, you can make an outdoor cooking oven. Yea, I like your tin stove too.
This is one of the most wonderful sites on net...Thanks and God bless U,cuz my creative mind have been ACTIVATED
Send a bunch of these to Texas!!
I'm in Texas I've been passing on the information hoping it will save lives
Í want go tó texas. I m watching jrewing this time😁

Only bring them inside after the fires burnt out.
That's a very tidy build. Nice job. Thanks for showing us.
I love it that you used what you had, to do as good or better than sandpaper, etc. Minimal is the way to go! Thanks!
thanks. yeah i think the stove works great. definitely make one. cost almost nothing to build and very easy to put together.
Very cool, great job. That works great.
Let's see the one you made. What have you cooked on it?
Love the Rocket stove, built all sizes and shapes myself.
Aviation snips are great for tin can work and a nail is good enough to puch the holes, that way we can save electricity. To avoid smoke you might have to increase the gap between the pot and stove, that seems to help for us! Keep up the solutions people, the time is here to share good info.
Best DIY stove and best instructional video .Brilliant work !Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your brilliant idea, Mr. desertsun02! This could really help my poor provincemates in the Philippines. Firewood in some places there is getting scarce, most especially during rainy season. Been looking at the internet for a long time for a project of this kind at the least cost; but this one would not incur any cost at all. I'll bring it there. Thanks again...
If you can find waste vegetable or even motor oil, you can dip the wood in the stuff so it'll burn much longer. Just don't breathe in the fumes of used motor oil
Do you think making a chimney would make this safer for indoor use on a shed? I was thinking a flexible metal pipe and vent it through a window(make a sheet metal square same size as shed window take out window and replace with sheet metal then vent up a rigid stack? Maybe put cement board hearth pad and wall backing? Think it could work? I may try
I'm just going to say this. Ive been almost all over UA-cam and I havent found anything as good as your design for a little stove. Good job making it. It looks awesome
I agree genius idea
made one over the weekend with 11 year old daughter. we made Smore's after and cooked late lunch, rice and stew from scratch. Thanx for posting
makes a great gift to homeless folks
Definitely making one of these. A+
By fellowing your video I made one of these last night it worked great! I set it up in the dark and you could really see the vacuum in the low light. if I do any winter camping it might work as a small shelter heater as well as a great stove. Many thanks
Did you try it as a heater?
This will help out during the zombie apocalypse
Great! nice to have a movable stove when camping. You can cook a meal away from rain and sun under a tarp. Uses wood effciently too. The rocks/sand hold heat for nice simmering I imagine...
Excellent!
you could use aquarium rock for the pea gravel, if necessary. I like how compact this stove is. gonna have to make one.
Perfect quarantine project!
Simple straight forward , well done Thank You
That is awesome, dude. I will definitely use your design to make a few and put them in my preps. Compact, convenient and easy to use...love it!!!
Agreed 👍
I first saw this type of stove 50 years ago in South East Asia. However it was made of concrete and used Rice Hulls as Fuel.
pretty cool. simple, hot and effecient.
Boa8gmnnb me m
Yeah, that's what i used to be when i was child when cooking some food with my grandmother
Long long time ago
Such lovely time
Genius, simple idea and the materials are every where. Thanks for sharing
made one today and works great. thanks for sharing
Hey thanks for the idea. I just built one myself. Gonna take it winter camping with the boys. I'll let you know how it works!
Search for 'Arizona penny can stove' way better design than this for camping. Its smaller, lighter, quicker to make and more efficient. You won't be disappointed
You can also make a ventilation control with the soda can. This way, both temp and fuel duration can be more controlled thus adding flexibility.
And now I can make my own camp stove. Thanks for the video.
The ultimate cheap and useful car camping cooker.
Salutes bro,,many Salutes !! Tin snips for Hunts can is all I would add. Thanks ,
I really got into building these as well as the alcohol burners, etc, and find that the clay cat liter works very well, and if slightly moistened before first burn tends to harden the litter into a cement like base, making it burn even warmer.
you could use a nice pair of metal snips.
That is a good idea, thank you.
Pure genius and cat litter is cheap.
Shawn S. ... Super suggestion! Much faster than using cement like I had initially planned to do.
Clumping Cat Litter is nothing but Raw Bentonite Clay. It is not good for firing into pottery, but: in a case like this where we aren't worried about Waterproof, who cares?
well that cooking in campsite sorted :) amazing video really cool. thank you for uploading.
Wow, very cool, and simple enough for me to make, thanks
If you have a dremel tool a grinding wheel will cut right through that metal fast. Nice design though, the paint can already has a nice handle built in.
هبل سكن
Which attachment would you use?
I love it! I have seen many different versions on how to do it and yours is one of the easiest. I assume that the paint can has never been used, it looked like that to me. I have a dremel and I think that would work a bit better in cutting the can. Cleaning it out would be easy once the coals are no longer hot.I have a wooden spatula that I use for cooking and that would be great to clean it out.
Great idea! Innovation at its best, thanks for sharing!
Excellent description and easy to make, great.
This is soooo coool! I've watched a few of your videos and I have to say, you are very descriptive, get right to the point, and show us some super cool stuff. I'm gonna call you the Can Man.... you can do some awesome stuff with cans!!!! LOL Thanks so much!
S L I C K !!!!
I must make one now!
Thank you!
This is the best idea I have seen.
Very cool idea and i love all the recycled materials that were incorporated into this. Very neat.
Im using this at work to boil water to make tea since theres lost of wood around its perfect just have to be responsible how its used
Fill the can with sand and use the hole bit to drill all of the way through. The sand keeps the can from collapsing when the drill is pressed against it.
mrsillywalk Another is to fill the can about 1/2- 3/4 full of water & then freeze solid.
+Oldtimer Lee Water expands, it could burst the container. If you do this, turn the can sideways and drill the half that's frozen to that side of the container.
+megadeathx
1/2- 3/4 full like Oldtimer Lee said won't burst it, or even slightly bend/distort the can really
megadeathx Lol, the cans are already open... does your ice tray warp because you make ice with it? No, because it has an open end. Think it all the way through mate.
thetravelinghermit lol
Excellent, simple, efficient intelligent! Bravo
thanks for shareing, im going to make one of these with my kid.
That thing is can-tastic!
😂😂😂😂can tastic🤣🤣🤣🤣
It "can" be done👍
Bud Lite Lime?
now that a true survival situation.
That is a nasty brew
Wonderful design and "field" manufacture from "found" items...the very best type of Survival stove. Thanks for your video!!!
I stacked about 10 soup can sealed it with exhaust mud still got a foot to 3 ft flame. Then added a blower almost set self on fire haha... but did work great.
How did you join the cans? anything special or just stacked?
Usually the insulation around the stack is a bit better than rocks, usually some sort of perlite and clay slip blend. Thats a little more complex for a hobo stove of course, but the insulated stack is where the magic of a rocket mass heater happens. Since that solidifies, you can turn out the ash no problem. The taller the insulated stack, the better the mass heat conversion is.
I'm clueless. Are you saying that a perlite and clay slip blend will melt and solidify - like fireclay? Perlite you can get a garden centre, can't you? And a potter could supply the clay slip or can you make your own if you have access to clay (I do). Can you give a ratio?
Well made video. Easy to follow instructions. Great job. I do have a suggestion. When cutting the inside can, you said the hardest part is getting the cut started past the lip of the can. If you take a can opener and turn it sideways, you'll cut the entire lip off rather than just the lid, but be careful as the edge is extremely sharp.
Steve O They also have can openers that will do just what you mentioned, but without the sharp edge. It should work perfect.
Very nice. You gotta make some tea using it; it will be extra delicious
Wow ... great ideas from all. I like the ice or sand trick to let you drill all the way through. Hole saws can get grabby though, and cause a little two-step quicky on the ol' wrist. Another idea is to use the hole saw to 'mark' the circle, then use a jig saw with a fine-toothed blade to cut out the circle.
Put the lid back on and you have yourself a nice little back woods hot plate! hehe
You should put some holes along the base of the outer can, above the sand line. The heat that builds in the outer chamber would cause air to be drawn in, adding to the upward flow parallel to the burn chamber. Not sure how much the gravel will impede that flow, though (most I've seen leave the air space).
That is beautiful rocket stove...I popped some popcorn to watch this video.
Wow good rocket stove
hi and thanks! 👍🙂
Fill the paint can full of sand to hold it's shape and the hole saw will work just fine.
If the hole saw starts to catch and snag on the can run it in reverse to cut the hole, it will work on thin metal in reverse.
Good stuff. I've been using something similar for years. Because I like to build my own furniture and bee hives, I have lots of wood shavings and saw dust. So instead of filling the outer sides with sand and gravel, I pack in my saw dust and or shavings and light that with a piece of paper. Beware the can will get hot enough to burn a floor so it needs to be set-up on stones or something fire-retardant. The inner cans are used for a mould to create a tunnel / chimney. A four litre / one gallon can of saw dust with give a good even heat for about an hour, so more cheese sandwiches please.
That is so neat! JOY!
you rock. great video... the sand and gravel mix.. awesome....
Ive made a stove with 1 inch perforated card board rolled tightly into a tuna can then pour hot wax over the top it makes like a sterno can and lasts along time then for the stove used a coffee can and cut the side up enough to slide the tuna can (Burning ) into the bottom __ for the coffee can use a church key (bottle opener pointy end) made holes along the ridge of the coffee can (top side_ so the heat can escape. learned it in a survival course i took yrs ago.
Awesome
You just saved me $150 over an EcoZoom. Yes they are $150 now. 😌
Thank you for uploading this video.
Think tin snips might've come in handy but hey, it tuned out great! Good idea n I'll be building one myself. Thanks, man!
i have the same stove , and i can melt metals in it , lika aluminium and copper !!!!!
i put sheesha-coals in it , and fire it up , with an hair dryer !!!!!
yesss great video .
I would love to see you do this
so cool
Cool
Very good ! Can't wait to make one. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks buddy : )
I like it. I'm definitely gonna build one to keep in case of emergencies
To use the coals, you could put a metal lid with a few holes and some small brochettes inside it, maybe hanging from the lid. Yummy...
Excellent video, you explain the task very well, thanks.
Very clever! Thanks!
diameter of ring is 6 1/2"
Simple, but efficient. It would be the perfect technology for countries in Africa or poor people in the country of India or southern America were people don't have much money but live mainly outdoors.
You can protect the forests around the world while using that "trash fuel" such as twigs or dried cattle poo and you get a wonderful fertilizer for the soil too.
you're right, i made one too and it works with little fuel. Just get grass, dried weeds, and sticks. For me though I use paper to start the fire as the flame wants to die too quick otherwise.
Chimi ....i thinking the same ,
Chimi lmao people have been making rocket stoves for thousands of years. This type of technology is well known to people in poor countries
haha chimi, that's pretty much what they use in those type countries, if they don't buy cheap subsidized lpg cylinders. Lived in Indonesia for a while, Ibu still had an old clay one and a tin one from when she first married (1960's) and the real woop woop village crew just make them with earth bricks and clay. Burn cocnut husks and twigs and shit (literally).
+stee vo oh yes animal dungvand yes human pop. high fuel as well can also use along with some paper as a ceramic raku. kiln
so simple , thanks for the idea bro .
I'm going to make one tomorrow. I'm so excited.
next time you make one put water into the can and freeze it, then you can use the hole saw.
or put a 2x4 behind it???
Damn, that's a good tip. Ive used ice in copper lines like that. Same principle
George Hart
Great idea !!!
George Hart
Great idea, well done and appears to work well. Just one thought. You've got to get your self a pair of aviation snips. Your life will be much easier. Good job.
Yes, I think the snipper will allow you to make one in the field, or if you had no power or a dead battery.
I like to make things with hand tools, and leave the power tools for big jobs, like building a house or in-ground swimming pool.
A very nice camping tool. Simple, elegant, reliable. Thanks for the video.
In a pinch it’s spectacular!
My missus would stab me if I made that on the carpet.
😂
Great rocket stove, I am making one right now. It would have been helpful to say what ounce the cans were, instead of what was in them. Now I need to find the gas stove grate, can't wait.
Thanks for the info. Can't wait to make one myself
I love building these!
Can I ask where you got the oven grate from? I am having a very hard time finding a source for these here in Canada. Thank you!
hi. i actually got them at a thrift store. but you can find them on
amazon. local stores that sell appliances or used appliances might have
them too. here's a link to one www.amazon.com/Electrolux-316055800-Range-Burner-Grate/dp/B003MYWSBK
Try scrounging the side of the road on trash day. Or habitat restores.
I MADE 2 OF THEM .
I love stuff like this. It keeps it simple so anyone can make it, even a dumb ass like myself ;-)
Além de ser eficiente ficou muito lindinho!
