I like this. One thing I wonder about is if you use aluminum foil to line the bottom of your pot while cooking with the buddy burner to eliminate the soot that persues using it.
That was an excellent comment. Thank you for sharing it. It puts things into perspective and I'll continue to do simple things like this that don't cost a lot of money. Blessings from Arizona
I remember making the tuna can and cardboard with wax in the Boy Scouts ! Great for Hand Warmers while ice fishing ! I have also boiled Crisco and Bacon grease as well as wax , then added kindling to the mixes . Then tried each one for fire starters with great results ! Stuffed all of the kindling sticks into a big Zip Lock . They all work great for Fire Starters ! Thanks for refreshing my memory about this fun activity! Do it safely !! Love your Content JJ2000
I liked this video !! Very useful information.. Thanks a lot for showing 1litre boil test !!! That really shows the power of Buddy burner... Can you suggest, how to design a stove using Buddy burner that solves soot problem.... So when we use it, our pans won't get black soot on bottom... .. Also smoke produced goes out thro chimney.. Can we use it at ventilated indoors??? Does it produce more smoke ?? Please reply...
Have made a bunch of them, over the years. Good way to accumulate wax is jar candles sold at yard sales & flea markets. Those that have been barely used are often pennies on the dollar. Just keep an eye out for wax to repurpose. After the season Thanksgiving candle sales, for example. One note of caution. As you said these and the grease/oil versions give off a lot of soot. Not only does it coat the bottom of pots, it's in the air. It'll settle on surfaces. Too much will set off smoke detectors. (Don't ask me how I know! Plus, you want to limit how much of this soot that you take into your lungs. Just don't over do it in terms of having heat and make sure you have adequate ventilation. That said, it isn't a bad idea to have a dozen of these stashed, if a Februray 2021 in Texas, comes your way this winter. Thanks for sharing.
I made an entire breakfast this morning and it was still going strong. I put something in the middle and added a bit more bacon grease and it fired right up again. I had my afternoon coffee. I don't like the soot but then I don't like spending a lot of money on denatured alcohol. This was basically free: I have a cat that uses a few cans of cat food a week, I always have cardboard and I love bacon. Love this one but my fave is still the Vienna stove...
Thanks brother for the video, Lately things are starting to get me into survival mode and this just might be needed! Glad to see your doing alright, God bless you and your family.
Love your channel and the gems you share; I live a suburban London life and can't help thinking how well prepared for the next few years country folk are - and how city folk like me have lost all connection to "living". Keep up the great vids, I love your informal style and am learning loads from your experiences :)
Hey man, what a coincidence. I just made a couple of those yesterday morning! Tuna sized and then I made a couple from those small pate spread cans for my Esbit styled folding stove. Cuts down on using the fuel tabs.
Hi, a suggestion is to fill up a can with cat litter wood pellets then add alcohol fuel, allow it to soak into the pellets before lighting. Even when the alcohol is used up, the wood pellets will continue to burn at a reduced heat. I tried this with a half filled cat food tin which had a surprisingly long burn time.
I thought I was going to be slick and use a small Buddy Burner to heat up a ceramic pot in my house for heat... Don't do it, soot in my nose for days! 😳
I was born and raised in this state, moved to California for a few years. Then came back to Arizona. Move to New Mexico for a few years when I got out of the military. Came back to Arizona. I absolutely love this state.

Thanks for making this easy to understand without all the drama on other sites. Very relaxed with your delivery.
I'd like to see more videos like this. All of these "survival" channels only seem to focus on things only the super rich can afford.

Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures
My pleasure! Thank you! It burns very good!

This comment really made me smile. Thank you so much for the very kind words and support that you give me. Blessings from Arizona

That works well. Thank you for sharing my friend. Love and blessings!
Thank you brotha, blessings to you!!!
Could do more bricks for height to decrease cook temp for food.
Yes!
Huge help! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Glad it helped! Thank you!
Good video tip , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks for watching! Blessings always!
Junk melted crayons work as well.
Have you done a video on the terra cotta pot heater idea? I can't get it to work very well
Very cleaver...Time to try, but with coco wax..paraffin is ok outdoor..loot of
soot
I thought I was going to be slick and use a small Buddy Burner to heat up a ceramic pot in my house for heat... Don't do it, soot in my nose for days! 😳
How many times can you reuse each can you've made?
Many times, eventually you'll need to replace the wick (cardboard)
Can you use bees wax?
Yes, it's fantastic!
Would this work with hand sanitizer?
Possibly, but only on a short term basis. If you make these for future use, the alcohol in the sanitizer will evaporate.
17 minutes... I was just wondering why you didn't put a cover on the pot.
I like to do my boil tests uncovered to simulate worst case situation
@@jiujitsu2000 I knew there was a good reason. Smart.
Which burns very hot?
I'm currently testing to see what burns the best. Might shoot a vid on that. :-)
how do you like arizona?
I was born and raised in this state, moved to California for a few years. Then came back to Arizona. Move to New Mexico for a few years when I got out of the military. Came back to Arizona. I absolutely love this state.
Im from Alaska. The locals heated their igloos with seal oil in a whale bone.
Those are effective too!
This is great but why waste bacon grease?! That's for the potatoes and beans 😂 and bacon is ungodly expensive!
Ha ha, true! lol
Plus bacon is very tasty
@@markiversen7071 Bacon is life and it's been hard doing without it. I treat my bacon grease like it's gold! 😂
My thoughts exactly!
🥸 👌
I can't understand the need for speed if it works it works speed does not matter
The need for speed
Is just another form of green
But when you’re jonesing
Your brains frozen
You’re not thinking about the future and
You’re just rolling on and on
And it’s anybody’s guess
Cuz no one’s at the wheel and in front of the mess….yes
