I'd love your solar panels...This is a great stove, I also made a candle in a can stove and put holes inside and it makes a great heater.  I look forward to your next ninfty ideas.

[Ouijeannette]

great idea... I think I am going to make one too...

[starkilla21]

hey i would love to win that solar panels and your video is pretty awsome

and alsk can u do a video on battery bank . thanks

[jynxgod666]

i would like a solar panel man i have been attempting to create them by myself for yrs and your videos help so much you are helping save lives thank you much for helping me protect my family

[RockSpector]

@mixcatcom--Pete, what if I filled this up with the Citronella refill fluid? Wouldn't that act as a large citronella candle/torch and keep the annoying bugs away in the warm weather? I'm sure you could get use out of that purpose in FL, no?

[RockSpector]

pause at @3:24 to see Pete ask himself, "What the hell gadget of mine is going off now??" lol

I love this video. I can't wait to try this living on Long Island and seeing how brutal this past winter was.

[gtrefghuk]

I've seen it where one fella took a one gallon paint can. He drilled some air holes in it, put the one quart toilet paper stove inside the one gallon can. Then he put a couple thin metal rods in a cross pattern on the top of the one gallon to hold a pot. When he was done using it he put everything into the one gallon, put the lid on and it was all self contained. Btw can you get those empty unused cans at your local paint store?

[nukemm33]

Really good video.

[mixcatcom]

@nukemm33 Thanks man

[darkvader47]

Alcohol doesn't give off carbon dioxide, ever, and it burns cooler than most fuels and can be easily put out with plain water. I was way ahead of you on having the holes near the top. Been looking for a cheap way to heat garage in Michigan in the winter when I'm working. Great Great idea!

[trustdivinemercy]

You are the only one I have found who tries this design out as a stove/cooker. Thanks, very well done.

[majestamaritza]

Sweet thanks for the idea, question can you make a portable earth battery?

[justjanify]

5 billions stars ***** :-)

[Stormclouds777]

Also interested in the solar panel!! (I hadnt got to that part yet when I first commented.) :D

[Stormclouds777]

I admire you Pete. Youre always willing to share knowledge and ideas with others. Thanks!

[coachgeo]

Try this with Vegitable oil as fuel. Might have to wrap some thing string wise around it that you can poor alcohol on.. (an outer wick). Colder it is the more string you might need around the can to heat more of the can. Light the alcohol soaked wick and let it burn out in a few minutes. This heats the oil in can to a thinner viscosity alowing for easier lighting of paper w/whicked up oil. My guess is veg oil will burn much much longer but a little more smokey?

[hooterman2828]

nice heater, and i would like a chance at winning that panel aswell. love you video's keep up the great info.

[Phanarab]

I kant resist... I must say, TOO KEWL! and thx :O)

[bxrbrfdude]

Very imformative! nice to know/add to any emergency plan. Also interested in the solar panel.

[ThePresidentialTouch]

Love the simplicity of the design! Efficient too, and I would be honored to win the solar panel!

[mixcatcom]

@ThePresidentialTouch Thanks, I will put you in the running for the panel.

Take care,

-Pete

[marcosaba360]

ALWAYS CREATIVE

[mixcatcom]

@marcosaba360 Thanks.. Lots more to come.

-Pete

[macbride33]

Pete, what is the shelf life of the finished stove/heater?

[mixcatcom]

@macbride33 Great question.. Im not sure.. I dont see why it would at least last a year, but I will report back on it.

[nextdimensions]

Great job!

[greenback001]

This is a good one.

[x0x0melissa0x0x]

I would love a chance to win your solar panel! I have been dying to have one of my own. Thank you for the vids.

[cubbie1967]

TP Stove, awesome idea. I've been trying to figure something out for this cold Canadian weather. And yes would love the Solar panel :) lol

[edstar83]

This is awesome information Pete thanks. I would of never throught of that.

[daddytech]

I could use the solar panel to help keep my remote lighting batteries charged for lighting out in the field. lol i made something similar in boyscouts as far as the stove goes because sterno just wasn't cutting it

[seoenter]

Hello Peter.

Cool video and funny :)

Thanks

[rikkiesix]

Hey pete, that is probably the cheapest and easiest stove to build ( ever )

Maybe its not your idea ( idk ) but you showed it to me and i think its great. thx for that.

And its also great you can close the stove perfectly off and bring it with you.

I would make a few extra cutouts right at the top to let the fumes from the stove get out better and then it will burn even stronger.

Cheers mate and regards to your wife

[wizardangel]

excellent video-- looks like a good idea for the power out and a quick meal out of my DIY dehydrated veggs or pre-soaked beans with a hand full of small jerky

[RCvolunteer1978]

hello neighbor ( 32750) I have would love to get the solar panel

what you made was in a 1950s boyscout handbook

[megavox]

Hey Pete,

Would love to have a panel but i'm in canada eh! Looking to buy an electric bike/mopped any day now and wanted to charge it with solar.

Great stove nfo, ty, maybe if you insulated the coal starter outter wall, ppl call them "rocket stoves", they say they are more efficient and if true should lower cooking time and fuel consumption ~ Maybe worth a try

cheers E

Pete: What does it cost to change out a graphics card on a laptop to OpenGL capabilities, such as an NVidia or ATI card?

[mixcatcom]

@FireThunderTV I will reply in email.

I hope you have a great weekend,

-Pete

[jhbossman]

Awesome bro, this is the easiest burner to build that I've seen on yt. are you gonna find a way to use the solar panels for a survival situation maybe a battery charger?

[Pirate88179]

Excellent project man. Very good info. I am going to make several of them.

[mixcatcom]

@Acemr420 Thanks my friend.. I did a video on how to make these panels.. It not to tough.. I will put you in the running for the panel

All the best,

-Pete

[shartne]

The solar panels were the first thing I noticed. Are those the ones you made out of the LCD? they would be good to charge a cell phone. or if they make more than 12 volts they would keep my truck that sits so much battery a trickle charge. stove works good what store did you find the high percentage of alcohol? probably best to set it on the stove in the house, so it wouldn't burn up any thing.

[mixcatcom]

@shartne Yes, those are the LCD panels. They are 5Volts but my next batch will be over 12v

CVS by me had 91% alc..

Have a great weekend,

-Pete

[sonnysand]

Very cool. thanks

[mixcatcom]

@sonnysand Enjoy.

[indman101]

nice little heater stove and cheap...thanks for the info..

[jwlrymkr]

Great stuff! Would work fantastic in an emergency situation.

[krupter]

Great idea ....... I bet that charcoal chimney heats up and adds more heat .... I am looking to get in to solar at my farm that panel would be a great start.

great vid as always

[onecreativecriminal]

great video Pete! I am gonna make a few cans and store them in the truck of my car for emergencies...seeing that I live in Canada!

Keep the videos caming!

[mixcatcom]

@onecreativecriminal Man I bet its cold up there! Stay safe and warm. Lots more to come you have my word on that.

All the best,

-Pete

[Iseekoutthetruth]

a hobo stove I used to live in orlando 5 years ago, I still have my daughter living in oviedo, now in arizona, we have had a cold spell go threw here the last couple of days, everyone has sold out on space heaters here so this little stove will work good, i would put those solar panels to good use here, I have alot of videos on my garden solar panels, thinking about building a bigger panel out of all the little garden solar panels I have, I got them really cheap at a grocery store here.

[mixcatcom]

@Iseekoutthetruth Yeah those space heaters eat up electric too! I will put you in the running for a solar panel ;o) Keep up the great work.

All the best,

-Pete

[camathes]

very cool thanks

[mixcatcom]

@camathes Glad you enjoyed it.

Lots more to come.

Enjoy the weekend.

-Pete

[jjaayypp963]

I think if you put a few small holes in the sides, close to the bottom. should give you a better flame, with it getting better air flow! Great use !

[mixcatcom]

@jjaayypp963 As long as the holes are not in the can as the alc will evaporate. In the wind screen, that was something I had kicking around and re-purposed; Thanks for the ideas!

Enjoy your weekend,

-Pete

[jjaayypp963]

@mixcatcom I was talking about putting the holes in the charcoal starter on the, (upside down), new bottom. That makes a pretty neat little portable cookstove. with the holes on both ends, you could burn small branches, for wood fuel also. I find natural charcoal around the hills where I live, could use that for fuel in the charcoal starter cookstove. A multi-fuel cookstove, Great Idea, I'll have to get one of those.

[bigmac2009able]

brill could save lives out in the wilderness if you get lost or stuck cool bit of kit buddy nice one

[mixcatcom]

@bigmac2009able I agree.. Its really pretty powerful for the size, and very sturdy.

Glad you enjoyed it.

All the best,

-Pete

[jjaayypp963]

Very cool idea ! I will be making a few , for sure ! Thanks. Nice home made solar pannels!

[mixcatcom]

@jjaayypp963 Thanks my friend! Im going to be doing the same..

Enjoy your weekend,

-Pete

[LelaPhern87]

[mixcatcom]

All the best,

-Pete
