- Its an alternative to the cat can stove if you have a larger pot. Using a tuna can stove can give a great flame pattern, great stability, and still only 1.5 oz's.

Pretty cool.
Was wondering what if you make the holes After insertion of the cans? And you won’t need to worry about alignment and redoing the drills.
Makes perfect sense to me.
This is so much easier than the "precision engineered" Foster beer can or soda can stoves. IOW, this stove is not only sturdier, but within the limits of my patience to make. Thanks.
"within the limits of my patience to make" -- completely agree!
Well said!!
Just get a folding sterno or other type stand that will hold any sized pots or pans, then no worry about that and use the best Stoves out there.
so if the holes have to line up don't drill the side holes until after assembly. that way they will line up with no duplication of effort and the assembled stove will be a more sturdy thing to drill into.
George B. Wolffsohn your right but when you try that the inner can folds because of being flimsy tin when the drill bit hits it. I'm sure someone who uses a drimmel or maybe more skilled could have managed that but for me the effort really wasn't that strenuous. :-)
good thinking, but i believe if you use a tape with marks you can use it twice in each can to make equals holes
Start with a small diameter drill then use incrementally larger ones.
@@neilgillmore Not necessary bro read my comment.
Also you could make the holes closer to the top so the weakest part of the outside can will be supported by the strongest part of the inside can.
That’s the BEST DIY tuna/cat food can alcohol stove I’ve seen online, absolutely brilliant. 👍👍👍
thanks for the showing. I made holes in a can with push pins, then I took sharp point end scissors and put them into the push pin holes and moved the scissors in a circular motion to make holes. it worked
Thanks for the idea. Have made many Cat Can, and aluminum beverage can stoves. Impressed by the way that you've adapted the cat can concept to tuna cans. I believe that the principle can be carried a bit farther by using a canned chicken, or potted meat tin if an even greated diameter is required, for larger pots ... thanks for the useful video ... Cheers.
just get a good folding stove stand
Greetings from England. Love the simplicity of this stove, much more stable than beer can stoves and that you can simply place the pan/kettle on top. Genius. Nice no-frills presentation.
Matthias Hepworth thank you!!!
Boa ideia.
Search for penny stove they make them out of soda cans. It’s really easy it’s got alcohol in it. You can put insulation in them to hold the alcohol. They tend on leaking if they fall over. It’s an easy fun way to make one.
My question is how many uses do you get out of one cough syrup container? and uses out of your stove? Is that capful a 20 min run time Or is hour? Just curious on making one myself, and how efficient they are. Also I wanted to make something to snuff it out to save any left over fuel if at all possible
You know that after removing the top of the can you can also remove the ring along the side then when you go to bend the inner can it will be much more easy to fold
Great idea!!
You are doing it wrong, first insert the upper can and then drill them, you get perfect outside holes, but good work still.
I’ve watched a lot of these videos and I like yours the best. Its better than just a cat food can and alcohol but not as complicated and difficult to make as many “garages engineers” make them to be.
seems it would be easier to drill the port holes when the two cans have been pushed together. fill with water and freeze helps with the rigidity when drilling.
Very good tip on rigidity for drilling the holes,then after drilling thaw out and Bob's your uncle,thanks for passing on the tip,much appreciated.👐🔥👍
Childproof cap so it doesn't spin off and spill fuel in the back pack, *Smart one!*
Could you put the cans together first and then drill holes through both at same time?
Nice build up. But you're using the file backwards. You push it not pull.it.
Just put the cans together the drill the holes
You can just drill the holes after they are compacted together, it will be stronger to drill through. I also put some cotton balls or any 100% cotton fabric in side. That works great if you will be traveling so it doesn't spill... Nice video thanks.
Thanks 👍
Hi a little tip,pack some fibre glass will inside of the stove,that way the alcohol will be absorbed into the fiberglass wool,and stop it from slushing about inside the stove on the move,and also saves the alcohol that is left inside the stove after use by not wasting it trying to pore it back into a container after being in use.
Actually your tip is even better than just preventing the fuel from sloshing, since it’ll also prevent a potential explosion caused by alcohol vapours combusting very quickly.
You see that denature alcohol can you got on the right side of you if you go to Walmart you get yourself a can or should I say yellow plastic container of heat and it's as close as you can get to denatured alcohol and it's a lot cheaper too by . I used to pick up a package of six for about $3.00 .
Files cut on the push stroke. The pull stroke just dulls your file.
Use an awl to punch the holes
Can I donate money by any chance?
Great vid I only ever used gas cookers, but will have a go at this one cheers from New Zealand
Fantastic, and cheap as chips, as they say in the UK 🇬🇧!!
You can also make it with a real tuna can, with tuna in it. ua-cam.com/video/Qm07YvWwd2w/v-deo.html
insert fiberglass insulation brfore you put the cans together for some spill protection and longer burn and the wind screen can double as a sturdy pot stand for larger pots
you can also use the rope that you sometimes find for sealing the doors on wood burning stoves. It won't burn, can handle the high temperatures and will absorb the alcohol so it will not slosh around.
However, it also prevents you from recovering unburned alcohol fuel. You can't pour alcohol back into the bottle if it's soaked into some kind of filler.
Use the 10 coffee cans they hold your big pots that's what I use brother
Very creative and easy to do. Keep up the good work.
Interesting design but as another commenter suggested. Drill the holes, at least for the inner can after it is inserted. Also the obvious question. Most backpackers, which honestly is the biggest reason for using an alcohol stove, are concerned about weight. Why on earth would you want to carry an over sized and in the case of the one shown, very heavy pot?
What's the boil test result? I mean for 500ml or two cups of water, how long does it take to boil and how much alcohol/fuel does it use?
It’s really the double tuna can stove.
Whats the efficiency?
15ml of alcohol can boil how much water how long? Flame dies after how many minutes?
File forward only. File cutters will dull with pressure on back stroke
Great idea but you going about drilling the holes wrong . Drill after assembly and drill smaller holes, fuel last longer
Yes we no this has already been said
AMORE EFFICIENT WAY IS TO PUT THE CANS TOGETHER THEN DRILL THE HOLES. TENDS TO BRAD THE 2 CANS TOGETHER FOR BETTER STABILITY. I'VE USE THIS ON TUNA CANS, EVEN ROAST BEEF CANS.
This tuna can reminds me of the penny stove. Job well done! :)
Fantastic! That's what I'm looking to see. thank you.
Burner holes are 0.00812" out of alignment.
Unsubscribing !
Great vid, but why not drill the holes AFTER you put the two cans together!
Makes better sense for someone to drill after so it's definitely all aligned.
I use a aluminum can, can be cat food, nacho cheese, sardine. Only need a single can. I am a backpacker and grams make kilos. Nice thing about aluminum it is corrosion resistant. No red rust.
How much of that fuel do you put in the tuna can, and how long does it burn?
Such a good solution. It's worth it for the "crimp-the-can-and-twist' tip, alone.
toPe mesmo Parabéns 👍
متشکرم خیلی خوب بود
Thanks very good
Achei esse fogareiro muito bom, por ter diâmetro maior e ter menos chance da panela tombar junto com o álcool do interior do fogareiro.
Cough syrup bottle is a nice hack... I have always used an old flask my dad gave me to carry my stove fuel in.
Chris Brown thank you!!! Flask is a good idea also!!!
Show essa maneira, salve do mizaias do Brasil.
put fire rope in the bottom can
Measure twice cut once big coffee can
Love the Dodge Dart on the calendar, used to have a Swinger 318, it was bulletproof ! 🍻🇨🇦
TROJAN why the hell would you have a bulletproof car in Canada isn’t it safe there

What size drill bit did you use for the holes around the side. Tuna cans are more substantial. Great idea. Thanks a lot.I am going to build one or two.
The holes that I made work but I think 1/32 may work well and be a little more efficient. Maybe start with that. If it's not hot enough for you, you could always go up a size. That way it's kinda of custom to what works for you. Hope that helps. :-)
That drill bit looked like 1/8" though; I imagine you'd be less likely to break your tooling with something like that.
Great information. 2 thumbs up.
ForeignMRE.com thank you!!! :-)
That was a fab bit of kit you made there. Thanks. Even I, who is not known for making anything other than A mess, managed to turn out this fire thrower at the first attempt. Keeep coming up with these ideas...

Just have...and passed your great wee video on to another ...
water boiling time pls ?
I'm sorry completely new to this, what type of alcohol is that? Can regular rubbing alcohol work? thank you in advanced!
I personally like denatured alcohol you can usually find it in the paint section of a hardware store. It Burns really clean.
3:16
Rubbing alcohol will burn just fine. The problem is, it will also cover your pot with an oily layer of soot that will rub off on everything, unless cleaned off immediately after cooking.
Very innovative, ATOD, and with great instruction--thank you for sharing.
Why don't You show all
Perfect to the afternoon tea.

Good video, learned something from that.
ADOREI A IDEIA - BRASIL
Pretty Cool. Thanks Brother
Nice hack! I often that about using tuna cans for stoves!
I like your idea
Great job thks
Very creative use of tuna cans for a more stable base. Just wondering two things and please bear with me, as I am New to making these: 1) if super cat 🐱 stove is open on top, is the advantage of being closed on top top aid in stability? 2) what is the smallest size diameter pots can this stove accomodate ? Thank You very much for sharing this information
Bradley Mann I don't know that there is any advantage on Burn time. The main cause of putting the can inside as a top lid was really strengthened up the side walls; Tin bends extremely easy. If you look at the pot I put on top of the stove at 55 seconds I've actually used that stove and pot combination it works pretty well. But for wider pots that are out there a wider base seems to be way more stable.
Thank You for your time and effort with your information on the stove.
thank you for this video. i have lots of tuna cans :-) and will make a stove like this now. i live in switzerland and we don't have this HEET for fuel here. and denaturated alkohol is very expensive here too. is it possible to take petroleum, the one you can buy for petromax oven? thank you for helping me
I don't know about that .....I would be leary about how much of a flame it could produce....I will say what ever you try start off with very small amounts for safety sake. Rubbing alcohol may be a better choice.
@@All_Things_Out_Doors wow! thank you for fast answer to me. ok so i try it with the petroleum very carefully. if my hair is loss then and burned away, i will tell it to you :-) much blessings for you
God bless you as well!! Stay in touch hit that subscribe button!! Lol
@@All_Things_Out_Doors subbed right now! :-)
How much alcohol do you pour in? Do you just light a match and stick down in the can to light it. How long does it burn for? Need to know that so I know how much alcohol to bring? Where do you get denatured alcohol? Thank you
Yeah I’m glad I predicted what might happen and tested it outside, since what you’ve made is basically a pulse jet engine. If you let the vapours build up, and the metal or the seal can’t handle the pressure, it will blow up, like mine did.
I made this from a an expired can of tuna. I did not open the can I drilled the holes and used a garden hose to get most of the tuna out of the can then put the can in a camp fire to burn out the rest then ran the hose one more time. I don't have and gas or air leaks so i get a hotter longer burn
Why did you not wait till you had put the cans together and then drill through the two cans. Then the holes would be in line with each other
does it take a while for the stove to heat up enough to reach peak performance or is it a fairly quick startup ? I like your design a lot and I think I'll give it a shot. I have a couple of the cat can stoves and like you I don't think they are quite stable enough, especially when your trying to cook a quick meal or boil some water in the bush. thanks for the video and the info. hope to hear from you
Thomas V I felt it took about the same amount of time to prime as the cat can stove. Use a lil extra fuel on the pour hole in top helps it prime faster. :-)
+All Things Out Doors cool thanks for the info. I'll definitely be making one tomorrow. thanks again for the awesome video, you did a great job
Thomas V thanks! I plan on getting more content uploaded this year!!
+All Things Out Doors I can't wait too see your new videos
Tuna can stove: why not put the top and bottom together, then drill your holes? Garanteed to line up and save an awkward step
Obviously crimping ain’t easy but doing it first then pressing the tuna 🐠 cans, Then drilling through both saving time on the file, nice job regardless, now press on a third one for the legs and maybe a fourth for a better stand above it, maybe just bigger can sized just right might do.
I have sterno canned heat. Heck all I have to do is drill some holes on the side and same thing
That's great man...
i use heet it works good
At 5:17, it almost sounds like you're saying that a can is made from tin 👀.
It would be better next time just compress the two cans together then drill the holes.
Nice hack! I often that about using tuna cans for stoves!
cillaloves2fish thank you :-) ...it does work well and very sturdy.
can you get a rolling boil?
Yes
@@All_Things_Out_Doors Is it just a matter of waiting?LOL,I`m very impatient.
@@keeff8195 yes lol. Using a lid helps.
@@All_Things_Out_Doors Thanks!
keeff
Any alcohol stove will take 6-10 min to boil 2 cups (475 ml) of water. Depends on outside temp, wind, etc.
Seems to me it would be better to put the top can in place and then drill the holes...drill both holes at the same time once it is in place. I could be missing something!
I made this just now from two aluminum cans. Worked better than any other tutorial I have seen and it's super fast and easy to make especially using the softer aluminum.
Why not just drill the side holes after the top and bottom are mated, you could cut out two steps that way.
👍

Didn't see how u lighted it? Do u cover the center hike or does the pit do that?
I will try this design its the first time ive seen it. Great job

Thank you
maybe put it together first .Then drill the holes
A metal file wid b cautious than drill bit when the 2 cans dnt exactly fit
A small Unibit works great for burr free holes.

How does the wind shield fit around with that pot on the stove?
