The Pop-Up Two Buck Stove 01

[buddyboy1953]

hey lanny,great idea,great vid.very clever,buddyboy

[GottnyGrapes]

CLEVER !! Cheap-and-easy-to-build , on top of it all a by-product of charcoal . GOOD STUFF LANNY !!

[elmergamez]

Well looks good , good intention it works for doing camping, explorers, people who doesn't need heavy things, who walks light, and until there.. And for a cowboy well not they can use only one can.. Se ve bien, buen intento, buena intencion, bueno para campamentos, exloradores o gente que no necesita cargar cosas pesadas, ya para un vaquero pues como que no porque nomas se utiliza un bote y nomas..

[TASTET0STER0N]

Yeah, impressive!

[READY4ACTION100]

Excellent!!!!

[narpup]

can you sell this to me

[SidneyBou]

Great flix. This uses very little fuel and could be used in refugie contitions. Maybe in USA soon but certenaly in Africa and other countries with military dictators. Not in USA only because we have weapons. I expect they will soon try and reposess those weapons. Even if your ancesters were slaves arm your self all our ancesters were slaves and I rather be a free man.

[Bazanteria]

this should be in "saw 7" movie.

[landlockedviking]

@ aldenbuzz , ya if you are gonna use those galvanized cans you should at least burn and clean the teflon out them first. Stainless or ti is much better for the food contact container, next al, and if an emergency then galv, but still don't let it run dry or you're gonna get some toxic fumes inside and out.

[aldenbuzz]

What about the plastic lining inside the cans burning off ?

[solarday]

and charcoal to boot - very clever

[SPJBD]

I like very much and i try to do along. I am a little english.Thank you for your video.

[bluemountaindrivepae]

Not backpack sized. Who sells empty cans? Cans of food would cost more than $2. In Pa we have endless supply of hardwood. Steel can not good pot, it is impure steel and has a coating.

[shtfprepared]

Excellent vid, one of the best homemade stove`s i`ve seen on u tube.

GOOD JOB, thx for posting!

[jgaffney2006]

I carry a MSR Pocket Rocket and a 4 oz fuel cannister. I can boil water in about 2 1/2 minutes with a considerably smaller package.

[shtfprepared]

@jgaffney2006 and what do you do when you run out of fuel? How much did you pay for you pocket rocket & fuel? Why even bother looking at this video if you don`t see or understand the point?

[kingbleah]

eat the charcoal and yer farts after eating beans wont smell!!! excellent

[angrytoothpicks]

why does it telescope? whats the advantage of this over a fire... in a fire pit?

[alexplmer095]

can u post a video on how to make it

[WeCanAllGetAllong]

5 STARS! Improvising,nice!

[medetit]

Fantastic stuff, I love people with brain, thank you 4 sharing your Knowledge

[SprayShadow]

so one could boil water with the bottom can pulled out or cook on a fry pan on the top with bottom can in...

Brilliant

[SprayShadow]

Awesome compactness

[heythisrocks]

wow i like this im prob going to be homeless sooon need any tips i can get

[bunch273]

even though you made the charcol. if it isnt used, you can still use it in a survival setting or camping or backpacking trip as a way to clean your teeth. use the charcol with a bit of water and your finger as a toothbrush. spit it out and rinse. DONT SWALLOW ANY OF IT! its a great way to clean your teeth without bringing toothpaste that can give animals any reason to go through your pack

[DarcMac]

@bunch273 Well, if you have ingested something that made you sick, DO SWALLOW the charcoal with some water to detox your system. Causes vomiting.. best way to detox I know of.

[piccanninni]

150gms wood cooks 1kg rice, enough carbs for 4-5 people, and leaves behind 15% of the wood as charcoal. Grown a tree a year and youre carbon positive! I'd say thats quite efficient. Nice one lanny.

[dhudson369]

how do you get the water can out without burning yourself

[Tancrad]

neat concept, might not be an overly efficient design

[Tancrad]

neat concept, might not be an overly efficient design

[kaimabrother]

GOOG JOB

[KenMacMillan]

So how do you get the water out?

[maxinpains]

wow..this is super.

[BaKonStrip]

Good science. I hope to so more.

[pinayvacavilleUSA]

i love it, i subscribed

[xxxSaskue26]

those better not be jenga blocks

[epicstove]

cool stove

[dizzaeble]

dude how do u make it tut please

[mnhvide]

Hmm! Interessting!

I think it has travlling-potenial -if downsized, an still working.

Haw about burning fingers?

[francescaloves2hike]

Who do you call in the backwoods when you chop your finger off with your hatchet?

[slightlymooshed]

stick back on with super glue... i guess.

[kentacoma67]

You can call your mom, I'll know how to chop wood and avoid the accident. Or you can apply direct pressure to the wound, get the fire going, and use the candle to cauterize the bloddy stump where your finger used to be, so you don't bleed to death in the woods.

[happeegoluckee]

@francescaloves2hike Seriously! Notice we don't have anymore vids from lannyplans. It's because he can't type now that he's lost his fingers!

[Brasik1]

Top.

[robertsmi2]

with the left over charcoal, wouldn't you be able to use the remaining charcole to make a water filter to clean the water prior to boiling if hte water comes for a source that i not clean. say you are in an emergency situation??

[oaney]

thats activated charcoal your thinking of... its like a sponge... normal charcoal will only provide a minimal of filtering.

[fernandesilyt]

Let's replace the mineral coal and petroleum by wood gas in thermoeletric!

[fireriver29]

I love it! Subed!

[centervilletn]

there is a homeless guy in the neighborhood id love to give a stove like this too..much safer than his fires ...much less labor cooking..overall just a great idea

[salba90]

sell it to him for a nickle

[centervilletn]

fantastic stove...as for the comments of it being non green...rotting is slow combustion fire is quick combustion...combustion nevertheless..far cleaner than electricity or gas...

[notbysam]

oops i just let some bio gas !

[Mattjudo26]

That's awsome!!

[MrJoseph1157]

I think its great.we can all do it ourselves at minimal cost,good job

[aaronanalog]

Very well done !

[fixarman]

Very nice! How do you make the two pieces lock together when you pop it open? :)

[Amateur1994]

If it takes close to 20 minutes to boil a litre of water it's not exactly energy efficient. And using wood as fuel isn't exactly green living.

[lannyplans]

150 grams of wood boiled a liter and made 21 grams of char. What would be an efficient score for You?

and 20 min is a reasonable time to bring a liter to a boil considering it takes time to start a wood fire.

continued...

[lannyplans]

Green? Burning wood instead of fossil fuels is very Green, if you are talking about CO2. Burning wood is carbon neutral, because it is carbon that is already in the carbon cycle as opposed to gas or coal which brings new carbon into the atmosphere. Burning wood is actually carbon negative if you save the charcoal and use it for biochar. Also burning wood releases CO2, but decaying wood releases methane which is a worse green house gas than CO2

Thanks for viewing.

[bassfuryvi]

Damn right,,methane is far worse than CO2,termites release a massive amount of methane when digesting wood..far better to lean burn the wood,produce biochar..

[mlndstream]

@lannyplans Great stove, but don't worry about the CO2 anyway, the increase in CO2 lags global warming, proving it's the massive and ferocious ball of fire up in the sky called the SUN that drives the cycles of global warming and cooling throughout history...since well before humans started using fossil fuels, and it should be fairly obvious to everyone that 'cave men' didn't bring the world out of the last ice age by driving their SUV's:)

[shtfprepared]

@mlndstream hahaha well said. Fuck Al Gore and his pseudo global warming science crap. It`s a proven hoax to pass the carbon tax!

[dragoprince89]

@lannyplans owned :) sick video man !! thanks for the ideas i love it

[cappydawg]

@lannyplans yes it's green. but burning wood can kick up some harmful metals and other things that the tree has absorbed through its roots

[Tancrad]

@Amateur1994  im assuming hes joking, or hes an idiot.

[rosemacaskie]

Dear mr henson , I have said to myself that you are part of the "plan" charity and thats why you design new, fuel cheap, cooking methods. aif so, then i want to say, have you read about cleaning up water growing mushrooms which attract and eat pathogens or that breakdown pcbs etc. ,and how to home grow and install them. It could better the water a lot in poor countries, To master this, read Paul Stamets "Mycelium Running", google books. page 64 is a good start & see his lectures on youtube.

[rosemacaskie]

I wrote two peices before one has disapeared about makeing the same form but in clay so its more solid, as pizza ovens are sometimes made described under clay pizza or cob ovens or stoves, or in - pockets of the future- gives the most complete descritpiotn of oven clay mixes, for insulating layers and for heat retaining layer. they are fired as i said above using the stove but slowly at first..

[rosemacaskie]

I have written above, of making these stoves in clay. In clay ovens the clay is cooked by lighting a smaller fire than usual in the oven in the first firing and increasing the fire slowly, cooked by building a fire in it. May be in wood gasifier the fire could not be started low and it would not be possible to cook the mud by lighting a fire in the stove. THe clay can get cracks in it, the outside does not dry first if you keep it covered in wet cloth and plastic while drying .

[djbarryiii]

Wow...it's amazingly efficient....but a bit big for camping! I've tried making variations on the tin can hobo stove myself..for burning twigs to cook with when backpacking... but size is the limiting factor. You need BIG cans...as you've used....to get an efficient fire (unless you use a powered fan to provide draft....which adds complexity and cost.) For the developing world, though, this design is great...I'm impressed!

[new24693626]

IT'S GREAT.

[GreatLakesBuffalo]

It's a "Hobo" stove. I mean that as a compliment. Nice job. Just don't manufacure it in fucking China. Boycott chna

[emforty2]

this is so high-tech millions in the third world don't even have something close to this or as efficient as this.

if you can sell this just in India let say for a $1 you'll be a millionaire !

[lannyplans]

It has taken me over a year but I have finally solved the locking in position, problem with the pop-up shells and with no extra parts, stay tuned!

Thanks for viewing,

LannyPlans

[phoenixjen]

I would love to get the directions on making one of these stoves. Also, how to insulate it would be nice to know too. Love your videos!!

[bornfromground]

twist lock

[37361811]

Are you selling these stoves.

[lannyplans]

I have developed some low cost tooling that will enable anyone with average construction skills to build the pop-up shells. The tool solves the problem of bending the hole flange on the upper shell which is almost impossible with common hand tools.

I will do an instructional video in a month or two.

Now I am working on "Pop-Up Foster's Pot".

"Shell Pots" and more beverage can alcohol stove videos. Thanks for viewing, LannyPlans

[MatthiasGarner]

this is against jesus

[MIBstudios]

PS: Also Search

Alcohol can be a Gas

For more great information.

[MIBstudios]

Cool video! Thanks!

Alcohol can be easily produced by anyone from almost anything (50 ft X 50 ft of cat tails makes 1,000 gal of alcohol) and can run cars, generators, heat a home, and cook food.

Protecting your food & family from angry, hungry, armed hoards of people is Job #1 & a pea shooter or two will not do it.

Find out how to survive any major long term disaster with a MAXIMUM of comfort & safety !

[07connor70]

good video its very cool

[forrestgumpcab]

can i get instructions on how to build

[lannyplans]

Thank you for your interest in the Pop-Up Two Buck Stove, I am back to doing videos! (Feb 09) I am doing a video soon of how to build pop-up shells that can be used with an alcohol stove or an open fire. The pop-up shells hold a pot and they are very wind resistant. They add draft to an open fire and make a good 3-stone stove.

Thanks again, LannyPlans

[halosoldier638]

are there any plans for this, this is great. I can impress my brother with this.

[MINGUSDU]

Can dried dog semen be used as a fuel source?

[oneinter]

No, but its a good source of protein.

[cobalt120]

Nice design.

Quite similar to a rocket stove and using the paint can as a pot skirt.

[judge6754]

how long will it last.

[btjm83]

pretty good. But I hope that's not a paint can. I'd be scared of chemical fumes or contaminated food. Plus, 18 minutes is a pretty long boil time.

But I like tht you could market this to third world countries, even make a profit but still be affordable for the consumer, so both sides benefit. Also using/recycling materials, which is good.

[gratedrake1]

this is a highly thought out stove and very well done

[toob247]

:13 you had me at He-Ello!

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

do you have a book of specs and desighns for sale?

[skaterdude1229]

no

(this is my other account)

[htmn12]

i really , really enjoyed the video. the scare and measurements you know raw wood versus burned wood was very unique. I would purchase one and use it . easy to carry. just all around great job.

[dielon2011]

how did you build that i have looked at a lot of other stoves but i think this is the best made, please tell!

[agustin537]

exelente cocina, no hace falta gastar 150 dolares en un MSR, te felicito

[LittlePyroManiacDude]

this is awesome! ur like omg! words cant explain it!

[shopworn12]

I would like the plans on the pop up two bucket stove

[aqysty]

Lanny, the pop-up stove is brilliant! Questions: Is this a "gassifier"? If it is, where is the secondary air coming in? And, do you have drawing/instructions available for the construction. This question may have been asked but I just can't read through the childishness that passes for "comments" on YouTube! Thanks for the great work!

[bone196666]

that was perfect...perfect for the small space

[DancingMarilyn]

Interesting and good initiative.

[grovernors]

spot on, another good design.

[ONILINKXMASTER]

you SCARED me when you YANKED out the can in the beginning!!!

[Weaponfreak]

you have to put some little holes in the lower can so it gets more air and burns better=more heat

[ColectvIndvidulism]

awesome, goodbye sterno.

[deterpeter]

no good. cold in the chaimber. (no insulation) not enough air. try reinvent the wheel?  google rocket stove

[lannyplans]

I have build dozens of rocket stoves and they function well as stick burners but,

the this stove boils water with about 1/2 the fuel and you don't have to sit there and feed in the sticks.

[mysticalwoodsman]

Yeah, other than it being a bit bulky (does it clang around too?), it sure does look like a very dependable piece of necessary equipment. If you have any friends, they are lucky because when society collapses, intelligent and innovative people like you are going to seriously be in demand! :o)

[ashcaw]

Great work, well done. The amount of smoke given off is going to be entirely dependant on conditions and the fuel you've got to burn.

[australianredneck]

we already have this idea in australia I just got one this is not this blokes idea he just copyed it

[lannyplans]

Prove it! Show us a link.

You don't even know how it works because I have not disclosed how the TLSS burner is constructed.

[eyknow]

Ze plans, old man! [smack] Give us ze plans!

[ArmyRanger84]

LOL!

[vijerad]

...so how do you get the water out without burning the fingers? you didn't show that part!

[mysticalwoodsman]

I am looking for a good stainless steel pot to cook in with a bail handle. I heard that titanium cannot be used over an open flame (why I chose stainless). I think 2 qrts is sufficient. Do you know of any good stainless 2qrts (or give or take) pots out there and/or a good vid on how to cook over an open flame with a pot using a bail handle? Thanks! :o)

[fiatluxiam]

No.

[quazimail]

titanium CAN be used over an open flame

over much hotter open flame then stainless steel

[ArmyRanger84]

The only thing is that titanium doesn't heat evenly at all. I had to sell mine. All traditional pot materials work, with aluminum the best then stainless. But titanium is very expensive and doesn't radiate heat well. For the price of one small pot you can have a whole cookset that works better. Weight usually isn't an issue unless you are into mountaineering. Titanium has few benefits. It's just one of those 'space age materials' that is marketed to make money.

[PaulyCracker]

Nice idea! This would help many developing areas like India and Africa. Keep us posted with info.

[PaulyCracker]

Pardon me, but what exactly is your fucking problem? My comment is not demeaning, unless you are racist and don't want the people of Africa who are ravished by wars and genocide to have anything. My comment was meant to inspire other uses besides backpacking. Furthermore, I too build similar stoves, but mine are patterned after the alcohol/methanol based stoves (pop can stoves). And while I don't use them for ultra long hikes, when I want something more reliable, I use a MSR Dragonfly stove.

[ArmyRanger84]

Besides that, why did you call his stuff crap? Lanny has been building great stuff like this for years before you popped out. Go back to your TV. As for me, I don't even have one. Waste of time, just like your comment.

[MontanaFisher]

pretty obvious army and pauly are right. too much tv dude. go build a stove and you'll see how fun it is quazi.

[PaulyCracker]

Thanks Joseph.

[lannyplans]

Thanks for viewing and subscribing.

This video is a snapshot in time. I have decided to shelve the Pop-Up Two Buck Stove and work with separate components.

The pot module needs to have room for insulation so that it will function as a retained heat cooker. It will be a separate unit, that will work with various burner modules, like alcohol, wood, propane or over a camp fire.

I am working on a how to book and video for pot modules. My target date is May 08.

Lannyplans

[taliesin369]

Can I ask, what's the purpose of the top can?  Funneling heat, maybe?

[joeman81xyz]

are you planning on marketing a final product?

This is a great Tool. Good for many situations. Got the patent on it I hope.

[Perktube1]

This is cool. like that book called roughing it easy.

[bassmasta1010]

dude you gotta show how to make it

[robert1621]

Great video! Can I get the plans?

[bluetoad2001]

Lanny, you've done it again. i like the idea of re-using thrown away cans. buzz

as soon as i get a stove built i am going to start cooking rice in it over a fire of bamboo.

i will post the results.thanks again

a lid holder for hot lids looks like a good idea.LOL ouch!@#$

[lannyplans]

I was hoping no one would notice the quick release on the hot lid :-)

[Josiah922]

Good job can't wait to see the other testing
