Hobo Thomas's video: ruclips.net/video/UhBxuF8DWoA/видео.html Thanks for watching and please leave a thumbs up ( or a thumbs down ) and a comment in the section below!
The video is not available.
Waypoint, Can one just use the gallon can and modify all the other components to make a stove like three cans that fit into each other? You did that in another video about the Hobo Rocket Stove.
Something you may not have considered, but perhaps you have is that this is a great thing to have stored away for those of us that get hurricanes. Weeks with no power to cook or boil water is brutal! Having this can and a nice backup of fuel in readiness would be awesome. Must have a backup of food and water as well.
Indeed!
I once worked at a homeless and poor ministry. Whatever lies ahead, whatever governments think they can do... I pray your vids keep getting out! A service you are doing! Me, I just play with the ideas for fun [thank GOD!]. Keep on Bro, keep on!
Thanks, will do!
Very awesome design. Well done 👍
Thanks!
you can use denatured alcohol be careful not to bend the insert where the wick is. Also be sure not to put the lid on until it is cool otherwise you will melt the rubber seal and the fuel will run out. I would suggest putting them in a plastic bag in case they do. It works with most stoves that use wood also for fuel. Great idea this stove, love the size never thought to make one like it!
Indeed, my friend! I was quite excited to find out about this design as well!
Whoa. This is the simplest stove I've seen you do. I might actually be able to do this one hahaha 😉😎👍
Thanks! It really is a great design! I was really excited to learn about it.
Fun little project. Hobo stoves are always fun make with kids as well.
Indeed. Thanks for watching, my friend!
I really like the lid to grill idea although with so many cans having the pull top these days (even #10 cans) you may need to scrounge 2 cans.. I have refilled those canisters with a mix of hand sanitizer and 90% isopropyl with good results, you can also get a qt of gel fire starter for about $12 that lasts the better part of a season, its heavier but easier to carry than alcohol which is prone to leaking
Excellent, thanks for watching!
Nice build. This one is another multi-fuel design which is always a plus. Man, I miss that canned chili as an emergency food. We used to be able to purchase that and a few other brands here in the Philippines. We have not seen it since well before the pandemic. Thank you, James, for posting another useful video.
Thanks for watching and hopefully you'll be able to get the chili again soon.
Can you use a fire for fuel instead?
@@LN031 I fool around with a lot of designs like this. My thinking is what you see here was built to maximize the use of the heat from clean burning, low smoke signature fuels. There is really no place for the large amount of smoke from a wood fire to escape. You may find something more in line with your needs on the David West channel where he has built several different wood-fired hobo stoves. He has playlists you can watch on each subject he covers. Keep that home fire burning!
@@NewHampshireJack just checked it out & wow, thanks 🙏
While I got you here do you know of any pots I could use with one of those stoves (preferably to cook canned food)?
@@LN031 I took a very early retirement in The Republic of the Philippine Islands. I pinch my peso coins tightly so that when there is a "must have" imported item, we can afford the wicked import duties and VAT taxes. Much of our gear is mix & match from local DIY stores and online shopping here in SE Asia. We have found a few products at the Daiso of Japan shops in some of our malls. Occasionally, a few small camping items must get shipped to the Phils by mistake and we grab what we find. Unfortunately, Daiso does not stock the camping products in Philippine stores that they do in Japan. Many items we have purchased from my brother-in-law if he wins a lot at one of the local Japanese surplus auctions where he obtains stock for his reselling business. Very few American-made products are on the shelf here and when we find them, be prepared to pay! I would suggest you look for your stainless camping pots and pans online or at small shops selling imported goods from countries such as India. We have found some excellent, low-price cookware from India at a local DIY store. Sorry that I can not be more helpful. I think it will be difficult for you to find the same things we have here just as we have a hard time locating American made.
Those little Ozark Boy Scout style set with a pan and that little cook pot are really awesome I got one for my son he loves it
Absolutely!
@@WayPointSurvival especially for I think I got it for $9.98 or something like 10 bucks so probably like 12 now but still!
I like it ! Not as portable as some, but low profile , no smoke , no really visible flame , it’s stable with no gimmicks to keep your pot from falling . Another winner !
If you wanted to take it another step , I’ll bet you can find an old oil filter wrench that will fit that fuel canister like a champ , might save some burned fingers tryin to get it in and out .
Thanks for watching and for the idea!
That's a great idea
A great idea, I think there are loads of minor alterations that folk will be able to carry out to customise that stove to their individual requirements. Well done James for bringing this design to everyone's attention.
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
James, I can see that stove with various fuels, Sterno, heat tabs, even using an twigs. I'd use church key to put some holes at top between tabs for exhaust of wood fuel. Just thinking out loud.
Yes indeed!
Haa, I could read how loud you were thinking.
Forgot about this stove. . Made me think of additional uses for this. Just in case your lights went out, one could use this as an emergency stove to heat things with, at home. that have electric cook stoves, at home. Also, something for you to try, put a Coleman camping oven on top and see the max heat of that oven. Leave this in your cabinet as an emergency heater for cooking and now maybe baking with a Coleman oven on top. Maybe use a couple to heat up a closed-off room, with lights out.A survival use at home..James, I am 70 yrs old now, but survived 3 weeks at home with no electric services.
I have made something like that with a soupcan and a burner made of a tunefishcan. A small buddyburner that burns for about two hours. But I used the open side of the soupcan down, so I can use my leatherman to pick it up, turn around and put the flame out with the the top of the stove. Works well.
Good idea!
I really like the stove top that you did with the lid
Thanks!
Hello James. I like the way how to hold lid. Thanks a lot for this interesting video! Greetings from Switzerland
Thanks so much, my friend! Have a great day and I hope all is well with you and your family!
Oh WOW this is my third or fourth time through the video and I just caught the where Hobo Thomas found this idea...the Wagon Wheel Cafe I lived like 10 minutes from there in-between Show Low and Lakeside, another great reason I'm building this one myself.
Very cool!
Amen. Always appreciate your moment to pray before your meal. Cool idea for the stove. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family.
You're welcome. God bless you too!
Excellent video. I've used several varieties of hobo stoves over the years and this one looks like another winner. Good weekend project, I'll use it with my Trangia alcohol stove for longer lasting results, and cleaner burning. Thanx for sharing.
Sounds good, thanks for watching!
That's pretty smart! Using the lid makes it heat evenly. I bet it didn't scorch, and chili loves to scorch.
It works pretty well!
Thanks James for this video. I've made hobo stoves from these large cans, but would burn wood in them. I had to add a lot more holes to get adequate oxygen intake and exhaust output and was able to cook many meals upon them. They would eventually burn out, but were easy enough to remake. Thanks for the info for I have not seen this one before.
Thanks for watching!
Made some Mulligan stew yesterday evening and let it sit in fridge 24 hrs then came back home from work and warmed some up and WOW it was amazing stew for a very cold hungry afternoon. Thanks for sharing awesome ideas . God bless.
You're welcome and God bless you too!
That is the best design I have seen yet. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
🇺🇸🙋♀️ Nice job! I guess you could dangle that off the side of your backpack for the next time?
Yes you can!
Nice little stove . Had the wife pick up some cases of chaffing fuel a couple of years back . A couple of cases are 6 or 7 hour burn times . Thanks for sharing this
Excellent!
Just finished mine! The pack is going to love this one. Using a cardboard and wax tin burner in this one. Great video.
Cannot wait to cook on this!
Great video. Love seeing the #10 cans
Thanks!
Hello from the thumb of Michigan that's a good idea I'll have to.make myself one God bless you James God bless your family as well stay safe
Excellent. Thanks so much for watching!
Best Hobo Stove I've seen. Always good stuff. Thanx
Thanks. I agree.
Made a version of this 50+ years ago, never knew that it was called a "hobo" stove. It was a real neat way to heat up some soup in a can, just don't try to use condensed soup w/out water, it was a little lumpy 😂
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
Awesome...cannot wait to find a #10 can.
Thank you
As soon as I can find the correct can. I will try this. Going to save this video and view again, Excellent.
Great, glad you liked it!
Pretty slick design.
Thanks!
Good video, and my favorite canned chili!
Awesome! I like this design. I have done a few stove similar to these over the years. But, I never saw this design before
Yes, I was also quite enthused when I saw the way this was put together!
AND, this one is better than ANY of the store bought stoves I've seen or played with, as far as stability goes....
Thank You, Again. James Bender. This is one of my favorite videos. Super simple. Hope to one day shake your hand Sir.
You're most welcome!
i love hobo thomas, he is my fav youtuber
Great! He has some unique content. Hopefully the shout out will help him.
Another great find! I'd be curious to see a whole hobo kitchen with all these different designs put to use at the same time to make a feast...
That would be an interesting idea for sure!
Hahaha, Do you think we can get Martha Stewart.
Or maybe Paula Dean. Yeah, Maybe not. She might offend somebody.
I have already started to make my own little stove like that
Excellent!
Wish there was a book with all these projects. My luck won't be internet when I need it LOL
Great idea as usual. All your projects are good.
Thanks so much!
I would suggest getting a small sketch book and getting artistic with some personal drawings and give your self notes to the drawings you understand .. that is what I do .. a good sketch pad is the rite in rain note books .. I’ve been making little drawings for myself for quite sometime now . We never know when we’ll loose the ability to refer back to info as it’s given out
Always creating something out of nothing. You're the best mate.
Thanks!
Over the years on youtube I've made a lot of those.....Reverend Christine.
Excellent!
That hat tip before eating 👍
"Sure as I ain't got much but Lord I'm thankful for that which I do have..."
You might like what I'm doing for a cookstation using a bicycle pannier system 😀
Sounds interesting!
Thanks for another great video. I clicked on the link you provided and apparently I was already half way through the video. I must of found it and started it then got distracted with my 10 month old baby girl.
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
I saw this video a few weeks ago on his channel and thought it was a good idea.
Excellent!
Also my friend, I am a comedy writer that loves your channel. I have dropped several comments in an attempt to be humorous. Got to try out new material !
Thanks! I, too, like a good laugh!
Good video James , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !
Thanks so much and God bless you too!
Yeah I like it ...good job its good to be out doors cooking with that stove doesn't cost much
Right on!
You can get a dollar pair of metal tongs and glue rubber shelf liner around each half to grip the inside can but it is still best to wait until it cools fully after you get it out and put the fire out.then put the cap on and you are all set.
Yes, however, if you grip the fuel at the base of the can it's not very warm anyway.
You can also take a tuna can put rolled up cardboard in it and put paraffin wax on cardboard in can it makes a great burner for the stove . I’ve made one in Girl Scouts a little different design for stove put it works great. You can even do little wood fires in the one i know how to make
Yes, those are known as a buddy burner.
Thx James... luv the vids bro!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Love old school techniques!!!!❤😊
Thanks!
I'll happily give his channel a look
Excellent!
Well I am addicted to his videos so good luck.
When i made these, we made a burner out of a tuna fish can with rolled up cardboard and parfein wax also we turned upside down just cut ahole for the burner and vent holes, made a spatula out of the piece you cut out for the burner
Great stove. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻⚓⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thanks for watching!
Love this design and can't wait to play around with it.
Great, glad you liked it!
Fantastic superb
Thanks!
This one is one of my favorites!!
Thank you!
Building one, thank you
Excellent!
Great Sterno stove that should also work with twigs and other fuels.👍 Seeing you handle the lid, I wondered if you had used a side cut can opener.
Yes. I used the safety can opener on the lid.
I'm sure you can make improvements to this cooker, like bails, windscreens, hot fuel handle, just sayin. Thx for the vid James
I'm sure there's a lot of things that could be done to this design if you wished!
I like the hobo series, interesting ideas. But, id hate to see the size of the hankerchiff needed to tote your full hobo kit on that stick😂
Thanks. Pretty much my whole kit fits in the handkerchief that I have at the beginning of the video on the stick.
Well done!
Thanks!
Great idea.
Thanks!
Sweet little stove.
Thanks!
So simple and effective 👍
Indeed.
I've got me the number 10 can and I was going to make one of those that you use wood with, so I suppose you could use the alcohol stove also. I just haven't gotten around to making it yet or maybe I should say I haven't taken the time. It seems my grandson has kind of grown up a bit and headed towards the teen years and kind of lost interest in this type of crafting but I haven't I guess I'll always be interested in this type of crafting. Anyway this is a very good tutorial video on making this stove. I thought it was very cool. I'll still show him maybe he'll be interested you never know right now with their age. Thanks again James for this video and may God bless. PS I just went back and checked out his video and I'll be dad gum if he was using sticks in it, how about that. Thanks again James
Thanks for watching, my friend! Yes, you can use multiple fuels in this stove. God bless you too!
I've taken the cardboard tube out of a roll of toilet paper, Put it in a metal coffee can, pulled it out some in the middle to kinda fill the hole, then dump a bottle of 91% rubbing alcohol, or denatured alcohol on it and use that for a stove. I had a small grill rack that I put on top of the can to create air space between the pan and the can. That would last really long time. When the toilet paper starts to get too black on top, that means it's getting dry and needs more alcohol.
Yes, that's another design which works well.
I do love making hobo stoves for wood or charcoal. If I'm using fuel I'll just grab my old Coleman 502 since gas can be purchased anywhere and it's smaller than this kit.
Yes, there are definitely other methods out there but I think it's important to have as many skills in your back pocket as possible.
@@WayPointSurvival good call
My grandad was born in 1903 in North Carolina. When he was 15 or 16 he left home to hobo. He returned when he was 21 met my grandma and they became migrant pickers.
I can see him sitting around and breaking bread with others on a stove just like that!
Great story! Those old timers were amazing people!
@@WayPointSurvival yeppers! He was awesome! I’ve still got his antique frog 🐸 gigger!
Nice great idea
Thanks a lot!
I absolutely love how I’m watching a video on how to make a hobo stove in 2024!! 😅 😁 🙌
Thanks so much for watching! I have quite a few videos along the same line.
Thank you... Cool tip
Thanks for watching!
This video immediately made me curious, so I went in the house and found an Altoids can, cut a slot in the top of it, ran a piece of lantern wick through it, soaked the wick with hand sanitizer. Well sure enough, it's burning. I suppose oil would probably work better.
Probably so!
Awesome!
Thanks!
😉 Awesome Video! 😉
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Is this current day uploads? It looks so 1990's. Great content as always!
Thanks! I did actually just film this today.
awesome
Thanks!
Excellent choice of chili. I like this stove, another thing I’m gonna have to make for myself. Btw, can those fuel cans be used indoors, with adequate ventilation, or is that strictly for outdoors? Also, I’m working on a possible hack for a French press, I used the actual coffee press parts to put into my two cup Stanley cook set kit, but the stainless steel base, I have been wanting to make a stove type deal with it. When I do, I’ll share it with you somehow, if it turns out to be a decent project. Kind of a waste not to make some sue out of it, it’s a pretty steady base if done right, at least that’s my thinking.
Anyway, another excellent video, look forward to them every week. Keep up the good work, sir. 👍
Sounds good! I do believe this can be used indoors but only with adequate ventilation.
Chafing fuel is used in restaurants when serving food at banquets and buffets. I believe it is designed for indoor use. Be careful.
they've changed the fuel i those cans it was diethyleneglycol! when that cans empty you can get a travel sized barbasol shave cream or axe body spray to make a chimney and pop out the center section and make a trangia out of it wrap a piece of cotton cloth around the chimney for a wick punch some jet holes and your ready to rock!! about 3 bucks you've made a 10 dollar to buy stove burner!
Excellent idea and thanks for sharing it!
I saw the suns tin.
Find a project for those.😊
It's percolating in the back of my mind...
@@WayPointSurvival l make a couple different things
a small survival kit fits nicely in the change pocket in my jeans.
A small fire kit too
But lve found a squish clamp is a must
🎉🎉❤Great video
Would love to make that stove. Multiples.
Where do they sell new #10 cans?
You can either find them online or purchase them from the Mormon canneries.
We made these in out door school
Ich habe zwar kein Wort verstanden. 😅
Aber ein mega geiles video.👌 Habe das sofort nachgebaut. 😍😊
LG.✌️
Thanks!
#10 can 128oz fl.
Yes.
Love ❤️ it
Thanks so much!
🔥
awesome!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Could you refill the burner with olive oil or cooking oil ? Could wood pellets work ?
Yes
I'm always amazed at how much sodium there is in processed foods. I think that has about one thousand milligrams of sodium per serving and it contains two servings. That's over two thousand milligrams of sodium. Too much sodium. I eat that stuff too but I wish they'd cut way back on sodium. Great video.
Thanks for watching! I don't mind the sodium when I've been out working hard and sweating, I actually need it.
Was that a snus canister that you had the matches in? It looks familiar because I found one and use it to hold all of the tools (i.e. allan wrenches etc.) for my zt knives
Yes it was. I cleaned all the paint off and domed the top better getting rid of some of the stamping that was in the metal.
@@WayPointSurvival I didn't pound it out but I did sand it a bit and hit it with a coat of black spray paint.
Not being critical but if the pot or pan blocks the holes on the lid why would those be needed? The heat escapes from the gap between the can and the lid and through dissipation from the metal. If the pot / pan is lifted a tad, those tiny holes make sense.
Because if you use this with wood, then you would want to lift up the pan as you said.
I wonder if you put a bail on it to carry it?
Sure, you could do that.
Can you use a fire instead for the fuel?
Absolutely!
Hey - can you Help me ABOUT where/how can i find 19 Century clothes paterns to build mine ?
They have a lot of those type of patterns on ebay.
can you boil water with that?
Yes
I would think you could burn twigs in it also.
Absolutely.
Why on earth did you bother to put those air holes in the back of the can, when you have a massive air hole in the front?
It feeds the fire from the bottom which is optimal.
