Hybrid Beer Can Pot & Brasslite Turbo I-D

[rmstudio]

Yes I like the brasslite out of all the stoves as it seems very straight forward nothing to ASSEMBLE and is adjustable. Thanks Shug now you dont got any eat any of them canned meats n crackers from the dollar store cause you all know what those are made of.. LoL. Because you will have to dial "Niiiiiine Onnnnnnne Onnnnnne" LoL.

[shugemery]

@rmstudio ...and call a hearst or an am-bu-lance to that Wheatly house.

[0017Bulldog]

Shug, 2 seemingly dumb questions for ye. What alcohol do you prefer? U can tell me for drinking, but I am asking for the stove mainly. I need to make a wind screen. Any advice?

[shugemery]

@0017Bulldog I use HEET in the yellow bottle. Heavy Duty tinfoil triple thick....aluminum flashing......

[shippen2010]

Hey ... great vids question is there any chance of the resin that they are coated inside with making you sick? I understand the resin is activated and degrades at 160 degrees. ?

[shugemery]

@shippen2010 I'll let you know! I hear as long as water is boiling in the pot it is OK but ...who knows. I don't really boil in the beer can pots as often as most think. Be safe...follow your own groove.

[RWW124]

Please tell me that was not a real bowling ball.

[shugemery]

@RWW124 I shall....it was not really real...just sorta.

[MrSchpankme]

Shug, love the hat, where can a guy pick one up?

[shugemery]

@MrSchpankme i got it on Martha's Vineyard...sewed the edges up. Made by Panama Jack.

[MrSchpankme]

@shugemery .. Thanks Shug. My dog decided to redesign, my favorite, 16 year old Canvas Safari Hat! I liked the fit your getting with the "Panama Jack - Marina Bay Hat". Does this make me a groupie >:)

[TheSchutes]

Just so you know. In the Australian lingo (Western Australian at least) 'Fosters' is Australian for 'horse piss!' Great can though.

[shugemery]

@TheSchutes Haaaaa.....fair dinkum! Yessir....good can though.

[MrJustjud]

Shug, when are you going to do your own backing- Carl - hammocks TV show? You would be great!!

[TheLab72]

I love watching water boil nice one Shug :)

[shugemery]

@TheLab72 I never tire of the water sound

[makemineatriple2006]

yeah mate, we Australian don't drink Fosters....it's nasty business.

[shugemery]

@makemineatriple2006 Must be some good secret Australian brew that we up here know nothing of....must come down.

[Mrlnwizard8]

Nice, I've tried many times to make that pot, but I can't seem to get the top cut off correctly. BTW just Saw Mary Poppins in NY last week! it was great .. Thanks for the video.

[shugemery]

@Mrlnwizard8 I gave up on pots for that reason. Chim-chimaree

[blunorng]

That gave me a right jolly laugh!

[shugemery]

@blunorng For that I am happy.

[shugemery]

@bucki58 Mucho appreciated there!

[drinxs]

Whooo hooo buddie!ur funny shug!

[shugemery]

@drinxs I do thank ya'

[adaman04]

21 minutes on 3/4 oz fuel!? This stove stuff amazes me. Makes the Supercat stove look like a cat food can with some holes punched in it. Well I guess it is, but I digress

Your poor camera has been thrown in the air, knocked over, ran through fire, lol.

Shug, always like seeing your videos man, really appreciate the time you put in to them. One of my favorite youtubers for sure!

[shugemery]

@adaman04 I been pretty hard on that camera and it still goes.....thanks

[MikeSr39]

Shug,do you know if Book is going to sell pots like that or not? I could use a two cupper! Does he have a website?

MikeSr39

[shugemery]

@MikeSr39 I don't think so. He has no website....just a tinkerer.

[whoopieslings]

As you've told me in the past, brass is class. That's a dandy of a little stove. Let out a good laugh at the bowling ball to the head trick.

[shugemery]

@whoopieslings Brass is Class. good one.

[snede2112]

Bowling ball made me laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing.

[shugemery]

@snede2112 Cool. Thanks

[enjoythewildUSA]

Shug, I fear you are going to touch off a quasi-arms race between yourself and that cat "Tinny" from MiniBull Designs. He's probably in the garage right now, mechanical pencil in hand, trying to sketch out a better stove than yours. The Japanese may have Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi but we've got you and Tinny.

[shugemery]

@enjoythewildUSA Well.....His is a builder and I am just a boiler!

[gcstorm1]

was hoping to see how he used two beer cans to make one pot.

[shugemery]

@gcstorm1 The pot was a gift and came assembled. Curious myself

[EconoChallenge]

I am late on this one. ... did anyone do the glowing ball joke already?

[shugemery]

@EconoChallenge No....it is all yours!!!!

[EconoChallenge]

@shugemery Better stop playing with your balls shug ... they are starting to glow ;-)

[MBlackford100]

Your videos always put a smile on my face and give me the itch to grab my pack and hit the trail! Are going to film a Gorge trip this summer?

[shugemery]

@MBlackford100 Going real soon....real soon. 

[yacrafter]

OK you caught me... I use a heiny pot / pop can stove set up. I guess I wont enjoy it as much if I dont use a hundred dollar rig to boil water..... Excellent video.

[shugemery]

@yacrafter Haaaa....and we die an early death.

[shugemery]

@medicjimr I hope for entertaining more....

[keikepono111]

its 19 minutes 12 seconds and what? hahaha

[shugemery]

@keikepono111 Haaa...that was kinda my favorite part!

[MrBillTroop73]

good gag! LOL

Well done, Shug!

[shugemery]

@MrBillTroop73 Learned it in Scouts!

[Tiponga69]

Just keep in mind that beer cans have a thin plastic inner lining that is not at all made to withstand heat. Every time you cook with it you are drinking those tasty Bisphenols (BPA) which is not at all good for you. This is why a Snow peak or similar cook pot is a far better choice. I never understood why someone would choose to go out into the piny woods, only to bring along a toxic cook pot.

Other than that, Love your Videos Shug. Keep em coming!!!

[shugemery]

@Tiponga69 I am aware of what you speak of. I may worry if I did it everyday. To be honest....I cook mainly in my aluminum pot that is said to be bad too. Morning is when I may boil a brew in the beer pot.

The cigars I smoke and my past deeds will more than likely kill me first.

I do appreciate you caring though. The vids will keep coming.

[Tiponga69]

@shugemery No worries Shug. My comment was more directed to the general public as a Public Service Announcement. We all have a few toxic skeletons in our closet and a hot cuppa cocoa cooked in a beer pot wont kill anyone. As far as cooking in Aluminum pots, while a hard anodized aluminum pot is better than a raw aluminum pot for a few reasons, cooking in Aluminum is not really bad for you unless you are cooking acidic foods. The whole "aluminum causes alzheimers" is a good deal of bad science.

[ArtisanTony]

Where id you get that little stove?

[shugemery]

@ArtisanTony brasslitedotcom

[steintanz]

Wow, hot pot! ... and you either have a skull of steel or a skill to reel. Either way, thanks for the refreshing entertainment!

[shugemery]

@steintanz Hard head Shug all-right! Thanks

[johniac7078]

how long ya' reckon to heat up some potted meat on that there stove? BTW:  you got my kids addicted to juggling!!! Pretty cool.

[shugemery]

@johniac7078 Slow cooked potted meat! Cool...juggling opened lots of doors for me..

[AmishRakeFight85]

That Brasslite isn't a speed demon as you said. But it sure seems to be an efficient stove. Thanks for the vid Shug!

[shugemery]

@AmishRakeFight85 I t makes up for speed in that area for sure.

[RallohE]

About pee'd meself on the Bowling Ball gag ... you're a hoot pal! And yeah I still get a kick out of boiling water myself!

[osgkar]

thanks for the review I am hard on my gear you I'm uncerain any beer can pot would survive for long. I've stuck with my old canteen cup for a long time I wonder if what alcohol stove has enough umph to cook in that? I keep hoping to see somebody use a remote feed stove with a canteen cup. I wonder if the decrease in weight and increase in heat transfered is worth the price of a ti cup.What do you think of the ti pot/cups like the snow peak 600 ?Perhaps with a Mini bull design lid.

Thanks Shug

[shugemery]

@osgkar I have used my mini-atomic to boil in a canteen cup. Did well. I have a YouTube video of it.

[osgkar]

thanks for the review I am hard on my gear you I'm uncerain any beer can pot would survive for long. what do you think of the ti pot/cups like the snow peak 600 ?

[shugemery]

@osgkar I have a Ti pot. Snowpeak 700. Like it but never bring it on trips much.

[castaway96928]

I saw that ball going up there and thought, "OH S**T !"

[MrClean417]

Dats My Shug

[GreeniesGoneBush]

G'day Shug, Yes I never seen Fosters sold downunder. Again I have never seen someone use a hammock to camp here. You should come for a visit and show us Aussies how it is done. Keep up the good work there.

[shugemery]

@GreeniesGoneBush That would be a dream!

[sparkvital1]

shug i once had an alcohol stove "tangia" it went out before the water had boiled, it had ran out of fuel so guess what i did, i tried to top up a hot brass stove with more alcohol,,, BAD idea!! I now have no eye brows the alcohol container was like a flame thrower. Being from scotland i love it when you say "Breakfast from the hammock" in your dodgy scottish accent

[shugemery]

@sparkvital1 Oh....seen that done! I love the word dodgy. no one uses it here in the US enough.

[eamonn280958]

It was a good gag.

I shouted oooh! when you headed that ball.

[shugemery]

@eamonn280958 Haaaa....good!

[wall2rockclimber]

Nice!! think that i may crush them if i owned pots like that! lol

[shugemery]

@wall2rockclimber Pretty tough pot I must say. Ends up being double walled.

[wall2rockclimber]

@shugemery

Dont get me wrong i would love to try them but i am uncertain of how long they would ride with me lol

[FALKORDOG]

You my fine sir... are the best!!!!

[Ggreenvideos]

You love stoves and pots too don't ya ;o)...hehe! Good one buddy!

[shugemery]

@MichiganTNP Search "making beer can pots" on YouTube.

[Newton240sx]

haha thats aweasome. who makes those pots exactly? you got a link for me shug ?

[shugemery]

@Newton240sx I feller named Book made it for me as a gift. He does not sell commercially.

[REXMARX003]

Heading out on a hike tomorrow, I will be working on a few new lyrics to the ode...  Stay tuned.

[shugemery]

@REXMARX003 Have a terrific romp.

[mwilez]

2. what kind of alcohol do these stoves use and is there a brand name or product name common for this type of fuel?

3. when I go camping i usually cook over the fire for all meals. do you think that getting a mini stove will make a noticeable difference in camp comfort?

thanks in advance and keep on making your great videos

[asimov13647]

@mwilez An alcohol stove is not very practical for preparing meals for more than one or two. An alcohol stove holds enough fuel to boil a small amound of water. It does not burn long enough to cook on but it is great to make coffee or an instant soup. I normally cook on a fire and avoid carrying camping stoves (more weight and more fuel) but I have several alcohol stoves (one in each pack) to use to prepare something quick and easy.

[shugemery]

@mwilez

2) Denatured alcohol or I use HEET in the yellow bottle.

3)Naw....fire is good. Just a personal choice. You can cook under your tarp with alcohol. I'm a hammock camper so I tarp.

[rvlqcitizen]

Yer a nut.:)

[mwilez]

Great video Shug. from what I have seen in your videos i like the idea of a mini alcohol stove but i have a few general questions.

1. I Usually camp with a group of people 3-4 and i am concerned about how much water these stoves can boil when it comes to volume? we always have a Kraft Dinner night and we boil 3-4 boxes. which is probably around 4-5 liters of water once. and we always do hot cereal for breakfast. is there a a smaller alcohol stove that can accommodate that?

[shugemery]

@mwilez First off you may want to check out the site zenstovesdotnet. TONS of alcohol stove info.

1)Alky stoves generally are not big volume stoves in my opinion. More of a solo camper stove and used to boil 1 or 2 cups of water or so.

I cannot say for sure if there is one to boil the amount of water you need for the 4 box meal in one burn.

Look at minibulldesigndotcom and some of his remote filled stoves.
