A 50 gallon drum with a 5 gallon bucket suspended in the center with rebar, or other rods. Using shredded, and compressed newspaper/paper bag seasoned with fuel. Best Tramp camp heating/cooking unit I've seen. Best filmed in The Pit.
5:20 Brian, a professional fire-eater, well aware that fire can burn his face off, talking about the high possibility of pressure building then igniting, proceeding to sit right in front of the explosive hobo stove...all this, while wearing open-toed sandals. How on earth are they still alive
I'm so sad that Jason actually came up with the solution: bigger holes all over... But he never got to find out he was right. Trust yourself, Jason. :(
So what, if they put a couple around the side? Makes sense to me, wonder why they didn't consider that beyond the one sentence before they had to bail from the rain
Pausing at 5:34 makes for a great still frame. Jason already halfway out of the frame with the speed of The Flash, Cory's great big "this is fun!" smile while backing away like he's only just pretending to be scared, and then finally Brian doing the upside down turtle on the bonnet.
In Niles Canyon Cali local sheriffs made a deal with those of us Off the Grid in canyon regarding fire. The barrel halves had already proven problematic. So the 50 gallon drum half, or full with a 5 gallon bucket suspended in the center ash trickled out to water at in the bottom, and to assure less sparks flew we used compressed Hobo logs paper bag/news paper, crumpled, shredded and pressed, or wire cinched cubes, or discs seasoned with fuel.
Remember when coffee cans were made out of metal? We made a Hobo stove out of a coffee can when I was in grade school. We fried bacon and toasted cheese sandwiches. Then for desert we made s'mores. We cooked with wood instead of gas, because wood is safer.
We did something very similar when i was in cub scouts, only we used those little tea light candles and fried burgers! Pretty sure we did smores for dessert too
I absolutely love that Cory’s apron says Janneman State Warriors. Such a fun reference to that video!! (Cool rogues know what I mean) The subtitle is even better: “Forgetting that we exist is our strategic advantage”
Uh, yeah, anyone well acquainted with fire knows he _SHOULD_ be. (Near) Invisible fire that mixes with water and spreads around (unless you have enough water to actually put it out ie. dilute it to
That Janneman State Warriors reminds me that I really want a Janneman State window sticker to put on my rear windshield so other Modern Rogues can see me.
If I were to try to redesign this stove, I'd probably start by making it shorter so there isn't so much room that needs wicking and fuel stuffed into it. For the top I would dent the lid down to form a dish, then drill roughly 1/4" (maybe bigger) holes around the perimeter of the lid leaving the middle solid. Fill up the inside with wicking and fuel, put the lid on, then fill the 'dish' part of the lid with fuel and light that. The lit fuel should just sit and burn there for a while to heat up the inside, then when the inside is warm enough the fuel should evaporate out up through the holes and start burning. If the fuel warms up slowly enough it will displace the oxygen inside and prevent the flam from propagating down the holes.
Instead of drilling holes in the lid, drill a bunch of 1/8-1/4 inch holes (the smaller the holes the more you need to drill) just below the top rim of the can, between the rim and the handle attachment points. This will allow you to use the whole lid as a dish to heat up the can as well as allow you to just sit the pot on top of the can without worrying about snuffing out the flame
When i watch the 3 of you together, its easy to imagine some sort of time travel / alternate reality situation going on. You all look like you're part of a continuum, like you're on different parts of the same spectrum.
solution. drill holes on the side of the can instead of on the lid. drill them large enough to not die but not too large to burn too fast. drill a hole on the lid large enough but also small enough to be covered by a quarter. add fuel, seal the lid, add a small amount of fuel to the lid, light the lid and when the flames are coming from the side, place a quarter on top of the hole on the lid. the toilet paper thing is the same as before.
Hey guys. As a kid, I remember a friend of the family's doing something similar but with coiled up, corrugated cardboard and paraffin wax - thus turning an old paint can or coffee tin into a camping stove. The trick is to have a smaller can with the cardboard candle riddled with aeration holes along its bottom rim; and a larger, fully metal coffee can (I think we had used a large Maxwell House can) placed upside down over the fuel source, with holes around its bottom and a few notches cut along its upper rim for proper airflow. The bottom of the larger can (now facing upward) makes a perfectly flat cooktop for a pan or pot. Once your cooking is completed, use tongs or a couple sticks to SAFELY remove the larger can when you're done cooking. You could then replace it with another can or large metal bowl to smother the remaining flames without soaking the waxy cardboard, allowing it to be useful more than once
15:31 the guilty face of Jason. The most laughs I had in the week. Thanks guys for making it better!!! Now the other subject. How to make a better Hobo stove. You guys may want to take a look at something called the cat stove just scaling it up. Simply put drill big holes around the top of the can. Once the stove is primed, you can place the pan over the opening and it will forced the flames to go around the side of the pan, creating the "Gas Burner" effect you are looking for. However, it will look better if the pan is way bigger than the can this way it will be more effective too.
Start with the first TP stove that made the rocket fire blast. Set a small flame a few inches over the top of the stove, then torch the sides of the container with the butane torch. Eventually the container will heat up, and the stove lights itself only once the alcohol vapor reaches the pilot flame. By then the stove will (hopefully) have pushed most of the air out so you shouldn’t blow anything up. Love the channel by the way, you guys are a lot of fun to watch!
@Modern Rogue As a Boy Scout, I built a similar stove scouts called a Buddy Burner, it used a 3 LB metal coffee can, and a large tuna can for fuel. Rather than alcohol, we used corrugated cardboard and wax. Pack the tuna can with cardboard standing on edge where the top has holes. Once full of cardboard, fill the cans open space with melted paraffin wax, crayons, or candle wax, until full. Let fuel can set up and cool overnight. Wax fuel cans will light even if wet. I cooked bacon and eggs with mine for my first scout merit badge. Cool memories.
he is so concerned, always so worried about safety and taking it all super serious when it comes to fire.. but they keep making these videos as well. I love that so much haha
Dude it’s late night I’ve got a sandwich and I’m high and then I see the modern world rogue posted a video about cooking on a homeless stove? Absolutely fuck yes
Poke some bigger holes in the bottom for airflow, use wood for fuel, and you've got yourself a great stove that doesn't need special liquid fuel! I challenge you to try it!
How can we improve? My friends, the whole episode the improvement was sitting right in front of you! We need to go bigger! 5 Gallon bucket hobo stove fried rice! Uncle Roger will surely approve.
i havnt watched modern rogue in about a year. i started watching this vid cause i have also tried making alcahol stoves a couple times and almost died. i wasn’t disappointed. prolly gonna watch more modern rogue now
Rewatching this the next day, I have so many questions that I just need to write down: 1. You guys have a script??? 2. How much research goes into the episodes b/c every time I see and episode I just assume someone thought of an idea, someone bought the stuff for said idea, and they just found a convenient time for everyone to meet up and shoot. 3. Editor, how much fun do you have making those subtitles? I absolutely love them. 4. Do you guys have a podcast? 5. When will you guys drop an album?
As people have already mentioned you almost made a pulse jet! That's a cool episode i think, use a sauce jar so you can see it pulsing the fire, but they do break after a few heat cycles. Thanks Guys
Ever try making a dirt stove? Take a tin can, drill or punch (try an old school can opener) some good sized holes around the sides just below the top. Fill it to 3/4 full with dry dirt or sand, pour in your preferred accelerant, light it up and cook away. The fuel wicks up through the dirt quite well, but is steady enough to use even straight petrol (gasoline). Something crazy I'd love to see, is you guys trying to make a liquid vapouriser style stove. Think alpine hiking stove, where you fill a small basin with fuel, light it and it heats a coil of fuel which then vapourises and ends up looking like your kitchen gas top burner.
@TheModernRogue As a suggestion, look up popcan stoves or ultra-light alcohol stoves made from the bottoms or two pop cans (or soda cans to those of you in those areas).
They're basically making a portable dakota fire pit. Create a platform with a mesh about an inch ablove the bottom of the paint bucket. add an air intake hole at that inch to fuel oxygen to the fire, which is protected from the elements on the sides and you cook on top of it. heat is funneled upwards. keep using them alchool soaked tp, it's cool. I'd recommend something like a cooling rack for cookies on top to properly rest your pan, held in place with screws/nails/hopes&dreams.
7:00 Congratulations, you made a primitive rocket engine! As for stove designs, I would say your best bet is probably a scaled up cat food can stove. The original design calls for a cat food can and a tuna can, but that can be scaled up to a #10 can and a quart paint can. Stuff the quart paint can with a roll of TP and fill with alcohol. Use a churchkey can opener to punch a dozen or so vent holes all around the outer perimeter of the #10 can's bottom, both on the bottom itself and on the wall circling the bottom. Punch a handful of holes in the sides around the open top to act as air intakes Invert the #10 can over the fuel can, and light. The #10 can acts as a pot stand, air intake, duct, and flame dispersal mechanism, while the paint can just sits in the middle and burns. The holes are too big to create a fwoosh, and the air intakes keep the fuel can from gaining too much heat and running away (getting hotter, which means more fuel vapor, which makes more heat, which means more fuel, vicious cycle). Another great resource is zenstoves.net/ - Tons of designs, all tested and proven. I've made quite a few different varieties and they all work.
I made this exact same stove and had the same problem. I fixed it by taking off the lid and used tin foil to make three spacers on the lip of the can. Set the lid back down with a better air gap and it worked perfectly fine. Just kept going for an hour which was way too long for what I had cooked and eaten.
7:00 - That flame was so good it might've launched an aluminium frying pan. This stove definitely needed larger holes in the lid and a multi sized drill bit would've worked a treat cos if the holes weren't big enough you could just redrill the holes. I'd even have opted for 2-4 large holes near the bottom for air intake to pull oxygen in - like the fire triangle asks for - Fuel - yes... Flame - yes... Oxygen - yes but there isn't enough with this design. Think of the rocket stove and put 10-15mm holes or whatever the ye olde measurements are.
One large 3/4 to 1 inch hole In the middle of the lid and a series of 1/8 in holes around the rim if the can would allow for you to lite the stove through the larger center hole and then when you place the pan on top the large jet will go out and the smaller outer jets will continue to heat the pan. It’s also better to have a shorter wider can than a taller can. This allows for the heat from the flame to boil the fuel directly. Just some ideas inspired by smaller high altitude soda can stoves! Maybe worth a follow up?
On the lid, cut 4 quarter circle slits with support connections around the outside edge, move in a little bit and turn the lid 45°, repeat, and keep going until you have a fancy looking grill
More holes around the bottom, the hot air rising will pull air through the intake at the base and up through the top. You basically want the same crossectional area of intake as output. There are advtanages to the lid for protection from the rain. You can also then take a second lid and cover to extinguish.
To improve. Make a bigger hole in the center to pre heat. The larger hole allows vapor to come out faster instead of building up pressure. Then once warmed cover the center hole to leave only the small holes for the vapor to come out of
With the paint can, drilling holes just below the top rim on the side all around, maybe around 8 holes to relieve pressure, that might alleviate the pressure enough while supplying enough air to the fire within
AWESOME episode - thanks for posting! :D P.S. It's so good, I just realized I'm putting this before watching MacGyver. Like, literally. Please take that as a compliment.
Your original hobo stove video inspired me to make one myself, and my first creation with it was vienna sausage in tomato paste! The stove worked, but the meal was terrible!
Shocking an alcohol stove that is a well known and used emergency and camp stove (and heat source) works as... A stove! AMAZIING! Also to improve the bucket stove you need a much larger hole in the center top, likely over an inch wide (maybe two plus) so that it doesn't so violently build up pressure and can breath better.
Check into a gasifier type stove. They can be made in many sizes. Fuel is wood, pellet stove pellets work well too. Way less explodey, and easy to make.
Modern Rogue: Must have a bigger camp stove. Giant Metal container, Large opening on Top, Possibly some Ventilation on the sides... Does that Car that you are sitting on have a Sun Roof?
I’ve made all kinds of different soda can alcohol stoves from simple double wall low pressure stoves to more complex high pressure stoves. I’ve also made coffee pots and cooking pots out of soda cans.
5:31 maybe a few holes in the side bottom for O2 and an open lid light? 8:51 YAY My idea too..wait ✋ disclaimer it was in my head and they did it. Channeling is not a viable source of guilt.
Take the blow torch to the outside of the can for a minute before lighting the top. Really heat things up and get them evaporating before trying to light the top. Also filling more of the can with wicking to use up the air space should help. Also 3 appropriately spaced screws would have been more stable.
I think Having just the paint can filled with paper towels and booze and no holes or screws in it would be better. You could use the lid to smother the flame and seal it to store so you can pack it and keep it full. Then just make something out of some thin steel rod that rests on the edge of the can to hold up the pan you’re using. Just a thought. Maybe I’ll try it out.
You need a priming pan; a lipped metal dish slightly wider than the can. The can sits in the dish. A small amount of alcohol is put in the dish, and lit. This heats the fuel resivoire in the can, causing enough vapors to be produced to start a stead flame.

Next time on Modern Rogue: The rogues cook bacon with a molotov cocktail.
Molotov cooktail
All three of these men are profoundly dad shaped and idk what that adds to this? But it is in fact adding.
Start with the first TP stove that made the rocket fire blast. Set a small flame a few inches over the top of the stove, then torch the sides of the container with the butane torch. Eventually the container will heat up, and the stove lights itself only once the alcohol vapor reaches the pilot flame. By then the stove will (hopefully) have pushed most of the air out so you shouldn’t blow anything up.
Love the channel by the way, you guys are a lot of fun to watch!

Cooking a hobo with a giant pulse jet
Watching them build a Pulsejetengine while attempting to cook food is definitely one of my favorite Modern Rouge moments
9:10 and at that moment nature itself said “you guys should do a little more research and try again latter”
@Modern Rogue As a Boy Scout, I built a similar stove scouts called a Buddy Burner, it used a 3 LB metal coffee can, and a large tuna can for fuel. Rather than alcohol, we used corrugated cardboard and wax. Pack the tuna can with cardboard standing on edge where the top has holes. Once full of cardboard, fill the cans open space with melted paraffin wax, crayons, or candle wax, until full. Let fuel can set up and cool overnight. Wax fuel cans will light even if wet. I cooked bacon and eggs with mine for my first scout merit badge. Cool memories.

I'd even have opted for 2-4 large holes near the bottom for air intake to pull oxygen in - like the fire triangle asks for - Fuel - yes... Flame - yes... Oxygen - yes but there isn't enough with this design. Think of the rocket stove and put 10-15mm holes or whatever the ye olde measurements are.
The alcohol stove slowly turning into a pulsejet was so funny
These guys definitely read Adam Savage's "Every tool's a hammer" book
I’m not so sure that Adam meant for propane tanks to be used as a hammer
@@silentwraithgaming8631 yeah well adam said every tool. The modern rogue said every object
@@P.r.i.m.o good point
Once again bring back
CAUSE IMMA MODERN ROOOOOOOOOGUE
One large 3/4 to 1 inch hole In the middle of the lid and a series of 1/8 in holes around the rim if the can would allow for you to lite the stove through the larger center hole and then when you place the pan on top the large jet will go out and the smaller outer jets will continue to heat the pan. It’s also better to have a shorter wider can than a taller can. This allows for the heat from the flame to boil the fuel directly. Just some ideas inspired by smaller high altitude soda can stoves! Maybe worth a follow up?
On the lid, cut 4 quarter circle slits with support connections around the outside edge, move in a little bit and turn the lid 45°, repeat, and keep going until you have a fancy looking grill
Might be thinking a little above the MR standards there, but it'd definitely work lol
More holes around the bottom, the hot air rising will pull air through the intake at the base and up through the top. You basically want the same crossectional area of intake as output.
There are advtanages to the lid for protection from the rain. You can also then take a second lid and cover to extinguish.
To improve. Make a bigger hole in the center to pre heat. The larger hole allows vapor to come out faster instead of building up pressure. Then once warmed cover the center hole to leave only the small holes for the vapor to come out of
@5:34, Best Episode EVER!
Instead of cooking with a hobo stove the title should be “How to Make a Hobo Bomb”
With the paint can, drilling holes just below the top rim on the side all around, maybe around 8 holes to relieve pressure, that might alleviate the pressure enough while supplying enough air to the fire within
7:10 Me: "Wait... isn't that how you make a pulse jet?"
AWESOME episode - thanks for posting! :D P.S. It's so good, I just realized I'm putting this before watching MacGyver. Like, literally. Please take that as a compliment.
7:00 Congratulations, you have made what is known as a whoosh bottle!
I love how Brian jumps back but then realises he's on a car
I love Brian being blasted back onto the car so much I need a gif. I've watched it like 20 times.
This may be the greatest episode ever made.
Your original hobo stove video inspired me to make one myself, and my first creation with it was vienna sausage in tomato paste! The stove worked, but the meal was terrible!
Jason with the canned fire extinguisher because that's the best one
5:34 Three changes of pants, please! 😂
Try using two can wood gasifier woodstove, those can be very large.
Also use a X out of steel for potholder, it allows for different size pots
huh. caught it before it arrived in my subscription notifications
Shocking an alcohol stove that is a well known and used emergency and camp stove (and heat source) works as... A stove! AMAZIING!
Also to improve the bucket stove you need a much larger hole in the center top, likely over an inch wide (maybe two plus) so that it doesn't so violently build up pressure and can breath better.
14:30 not quite the solid follow up to Grilled Cheese that I was hoping for but I guess that you can't write hits all the time
Check into a gasifier type stove. They can be made in many sizes. Fuel is wood, pellet stove pellets work well too. Way less explodey, and easy to make.
The fwoosh timing was impeccable! :D
Love you guys!
the funny thing is, a paint can stove like this is usually called a rocket stove, and they seem to have brought a new meaning to that name
7:02 Ya see... What you've done there.... What you've built there is a pulse jet
They effectively made a scaled up mansion jar jet engine
really simple bigger holes you want more open then closed
6:58 *Famous last words* I believe i'm gonna take one step back this time.
A prime example of "safety 3rd" quickly being elevated to "safety 2nd."
Also: Cory's apron this episode is pretty cool... I hope it was fireproof.
Modern Rogue: Must have a bigger camp stove. Giant Metal container, Large opening on Top, Possibly some Ventilation on the sides...
Does that Car that you are sitting on have a Sun Roof?
I know yall arent gonna actually do illegal things, but its be amazing to watch you guys hop a train
Love it, but I did hope that you'd be filming a cooking show with a 10ft tall, 600lb Scandinavian hobo called Stove.
I’ve made all kinds of different soda can alcohol stoves from simple double wall low pressure stoves to more complex high pressure stoves. I’ve also made coffee pots and cooking pots out of soda cans.
I used to take comfort in the idea that our protagonists had adult supervision in the form of Cory.
Now I'm just scared for all three of them.
5:31 maybe a few holes in the side bottom for O2 and an open lid light? 8:51 YAY My idea too..wait ✋ disclaimer it was in my head and they did it. Channeling is not a viable source of guilt.
So, Cory has the fastest reaction timing, Brian the slowest.
3:15 Why is Brian always wearing flip flops when they play with fire? Quite tempting Murphy and Murphy.
Take the blow torch to the outside of the can for a minute before lighting the top. Really heat things up and get them evaporating before trying to light the top. Also filling more of the can with wicking to use up the air space should help.
Also 3 appropriately spaced screws would have been more stable.
I think Having just the paint can filled with paper towels and booze and no holes or screws in it would be better. You could use the lid to smother the flame and seal it to store so you can pack it and keep it full. Then just make something out of some thin steel rod that rests on the edge of the can to hold up the pan you’re using. Just a thought. Maybe I’ll try it out.
I love the amount of safety precautions
Real talk I know nothing about ceramic but that stuff's just satisfying to see.
Thanks, I’ll pass that on to Bonnie!
More camping stuff. It don't matter if it's good or not, just as long as y'all are havin fun. A survival competition would be reaally cool
You need a priming pan; a lipped metal dish slightly wider than the can. The can sits in the dish. A small amount of alcohol is put in the dish, and lit. This heats the fuel resivoire in the can, causing enough vapors to be produced to start a stead flame.
