nice looking build. If you want more heat all you need to do is to block off some of your primary air inlet holes to choke the stove down and this will do two things, 1) increase the burn temperature and 2) increase the overall burn time for a given fuel load. For builders if you see any smoke or get soot on your pots this is a sign of un burned smoke = carbon the solution is give choke down the stove reduce primary air intake which will heat up the burn temperature and burn that carbon. You can do this easily with a spare tin lid cut to fit into the burn pot with a hole in its middle. Big hole more air, smaller hole less air - simple. A clean burning stove is an efficient stove and a safe stove to be around. If you think that second hand cigarette smoke is dangerous it is nothing compared to wood smoke which is tens of thousands more dangerous. Who knew? Well we all do now. Be safe.
Thanks for the input. I'll be playing around with this design and will try your recommendations. The parts are luckily really cheap so prototypes are not going to break the bank. Did not know about wood smoke being that dangerous. Won't be using this as a tent heater anytime soon then. Thanks for the heads up and time to explain.
@@ShinyInsanity looking forward to reading about your results. If you still don't obtain enough extra heat to burn up all your carbon/smoke then the next step will be to slightly increase the size of your secondary air inlet holes to provide more oxygen to burn the available carbon but leave this as a last adjustment fine tune your primary air holes first then if further tweaking is required move on to the secondary air holes. Best of luck.
@@ShinyInsanityI recommend the very opposite. Reduce your secondary (holes on top) make it a single row small. Allows air more time to heat and produce secondary ignition. Ratio from primary (bottom) to secondary should be 4:1 or preferably 5:1. Also make it with a progresso soup can. No need to cut the lid. Progresso snaps into paint can easy.
@@pimpjetfighter05 Hmm, Progresso soup it is then. I like their creamy chicken and wild rice so will need to try this again at some point with your tips. Thanks.
I love these types of stoves! I want to make a bunch! (I likely won't lol) as I was thinking about how to make it out of a gallon paint can and seeing comments about how to make it cleaner, and therefore hotter, I wondered how easy it is to over heat to failure...
I haven't seen one overheat to failure yet but that's not to say it couldn't. They're pretty easy to make so it would be something worth trying. Worse case it would only cost a paint can and some time :)
Almost 5 years after the build, this stove is long gone but, if you remember, how long did it last before the heat broke it up? Has anyone tried painting these stoves with fireproof paint? Is the paint harmful when the stove is fired up?
@@ShinyInsanity that could be helpful for storing the pot holder away without wasting space, just tuck it in the bottom, but most do that just so the whole stove is telescopically assembled which reduces bulk a lot. tho i wouldn't mind this type since you can store a backup alcohol stove, fuel, kindling and a lighter inside the burn chamber anyway, and without a bottom in the can you'd want an ash pan to protect the floor. I suggest only making a row of secondary burn holes, and adjusting their width if need be. The smoother the hole the prettier the jet, not that it matters. You can make a pot holder out of any can that fits neatly on top and maybe even make a double layered one - one part to hold up the stove with holes on the side, like a tuna can; one part without holes, just to serve as a windscreen, which would improve boil time. Stove looks real neat with the smooth paint can on the outside, far superior to any other stove I've seen
@@pedro_claro Thanks for the great feedback. To be honest I didn't even think of the storage aspects so that is a good consideration. I've been meaning to try and tweak the design but haven't really had the chance to play with it recently.
Your build looks great! I cut the bottom out of the outer can entirely to let the ash fall out, but I didn’t get nearly as neat a fit between the two cans
Thanks! The good thing about this type of build is that you can try again with different combinations since the materials are pretty inexpensive to experiment.
Good effort although it would have burnt hotter and cleaner if you had only 1 row of 1/4 in holes at the top. The number of holes in the inner can base was overkill since was considerably more area than the outside air holes.
I built a bigger one, very crude construction but works, what I need now is a decent set of cookware that isn't teflon coated, because that teflon burns up and can leech toxins into your food.
@@manojkumarsubramaniam7122 I do not know the specific temperature but I did try it later with a small pot of water and it was able to boil it. It took a while to do so though.
Very simple.
With minimalist tools
I love this.
Thank you, much appreciated.
Excellent, perfect burn. Now, all you need is a pot stand. Again, I haven't seen a better demonstration of how it should work. Thanks.
Thanks. I was pretty pleased with how it came out for my first test.

I have several and suggest making a rim collar with holes in it that will allow raising a platform for any cooking vessel and be a wind breaker.
Thanks. That's a good suggestion. Need to look into doing that for the next one I build.

I like, that you didn’t cut out the bottom of the outer can. It’s safer, and holds the heat better.
Yeah I've seen some designs where they do that and couldn't see the benefit of doing it.
Its like a bushbuddy stove

Your stoves flame is awesome
Thank you! I appreciate it.
thanks for the vid. will try it at home
No problem, good luck with your build.

Good thing I didn't cut out the base like I had first planned then.

Carbon steel pans. Cheap, light and durable for this type of cooking.
@@ShinyInsanity what temperature this burner can heat a pot?
@@manojkumarsubramaniam7122 I do not know the specific temperature but I did try it later with a small pot of water and it was able to boil it. It took a while to do so though.
You should go ahead and market this
Nah, too easy to DIY.
Thanks!
No problem :)
Nice build.
How hot does the bottom get?
Not very hot from the time I started it till it burned out. Still wouldn't put it on anything like a wood top though.
Must say souceavel in lap 1102 in a pinh..
👍👍👍👍🇧🇷
Obrigada :)
De nada Ficou chou De Bola o Fogão aí Parabéns Obrigado
With all those expensive tools I expected a nicer job.
With a chimney you'll get a taller flame, and more heat.
It's good that you have expectations on my project 😁
If u have the $$ for a metal lathe then u can just buy a wood burning stove 😮
Totally un useful video..
