DIY Grill Top Canteen Stove Build Along Tutorial

[gijr2003]

Well that's neat and all. But I'd rather just buy a canteen stove than go through all those wheels. Did that when working on kitchen sewer pipes. They sell the odd stove cheaper than a cup anyway.

@gijr2003 I really didn't go through that many wheels, and I was using the cheap ones to boot, not the good cutting wheels. With the heavy duty wheels, I use about 2-3 on one stove. I have since had the chance to use the purchased stove, and it is a great product. However it does not have the versatility of the DIY one (see my other two videos regarding the DIY stove). :-) I also prefer to make my own gear rather than purchase gear, as DIY gear is always customized to your needs.

[BackwoodsUncleBub]

DIY gear also comes with a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling of pride and self sustainability, something you receive as a manufacturer of products, not a consumer of products. ;-)

Why didn't you just drill holes in the top instead of all that cutting?

[BackwoodsUncleBub]

@theoriginalwah I tried drilling holes in the top with a drill on my first prototype. Didn't work too well, even the drill press didn't give satisfactory results. The dremel is easier, faster, more effective, and can be purchased by most people inexpensively compared to a drill press. Good luck if you try drilling a Stainless Steel USGI Cup with a hand drill! :-)

@watchdog4life Unfortunately, no. I don't have any intention on building them to sell. The time I put into making one, and the less than professional quality due to the type of tools used would not make them profitable for me or competitively priced for the consumer.

Good job!!

[RichTheRidgeHunter]

Nice job! I have one from Canteen shop . com. Cant wait to make one of yours.

[benbushcraft]

I like the stove and your kit. This is a very good tutorial and you can explain well. I would try it, but we only have this chinese crap here and ordering from US is very expensive :/ How ever - thanks for showing. Take care, Benedikt

[busycando]

Great project !!! i will give it a go. Keeo on bushcrafting.Greg.

Great vid. Just a tip, go ahead and spend the extra money on the reinforced cutoff wheels for your dremel tool. They are a bit higher in price, but they last 3 times as long as the ones your using.

[BackwoodsUncleBub]

@fishwolfSBK Your not kidding! Unfortunately the hardware store was all out of the reinforced blades, so I took what they had, the "Heavy Duty" (what a joke) ones. I did use the reinforced blades on the original stove, and they did hold up MUCH better! The are well worth the little extra cost as they last longer and don't break during use near as often!

[fishwolfSBK]

@BackwoodsUncleBub

Yea. I use them to cut out my knife blanks all the time.

[sulevia76]

Hats off to you Bub its a rare thing to see some one give away a tip for free like that these days. Nice tutorial to boot nothing complecated just good old common scence.

[saradreaming]

Very nice tutorial Uncle Bub, thanks a bunch for sharing :) Sara

[jjaayypp963]

Excellent tutorial ! I will be having to make one of these! It was kind of freaky, while I was watching your vid, and the wind started picking up in your video, my weather bug alert went off, and issued a tornado watch! LOL.. Thanks for sharing. Be safe, & God Bless!.....JP.

[wgfarmer]

Bub, you are appreciated my friend. I'm going to be making one of these as soon as I get my materials together. Thanks for the tutorial!

[1620416204]

Great demo Bub and thanks for showing us how to do our own. Keep up the great work..................Tom

[KURGAN44]

Great vid and excellent idea Bub!

[mrfurball]

great video it sure is going to help me lol, me being the genius that i am i decided to use a cutting torch to open ventilation holes lol, what a surprise i had when i actually looked inside the cup , there's globs of metal on the inside making it imposible to fit it over the untouched canteen cup and there's no way i can clean all that metal from the inside now , ill just have to get another cup and stick to your formula lol.

[jjaayypp963]

@mrfurball Maybe you can use a dremel to clean out the build-up spatter. Just a thought...JP.

[mrfurball]

@jjaayypp963 yes thank you jay but its just cheaper to get a new cup and restart over as the ventilation holes are really ugly looking and the dremel bits can be quite expensive if u buy them seperatly , thanks anyways ill post my new stove as a video response to this video.
