DIY Bud Light alcohol stove part 1

[swampnoggin]

Really great video, very clear...I like the idea of using a template to speed up the process if you are making more than one...

[SchismMax]

How would you do this without a miter saw?

[Woodenarrows]

@SchismMax You can use a hacksaw, a Dremel with a cutoff disk or even a good pair of shears. You'll probably have to spend more effort cleaning up the edges. The cutoff saw just makes it easier, quicker and cleaner :-)

Thanks I'm going to give it a shot this weekend.

[DEMON00LEGION]

Could I also use Coleman camping fuel?

[Woodenarrows]

@DEMON00LEGION NO, do not use any petroleum products. Too explosive and dangerous.

@DEMON00LEGION what i use to fuel my alcohol stove is HEET windshield deicer

[DEMON00LEGION]

What type of alcohol are you using? I have an endless supply of 191 proof alcohol that's used to beef up wine, do you think I can use that in a stove like the one you made?

[Woodenarrows]

@DEMON00LEGION 95.5% alcohol should work. May have a bit of soot but should be just fine.

You don't really need the epoxy most of the time... the pressure fit is enough to keep the alcohol in and when the stove is in use, the joint is covered by your pot anyway.

[Woodenarrows]

@fourgotten The key phrase you used there is "most of the time"

[Hifromtherealdude]

if you take the mouth of the can and jb weld it upright inside so you have two stoves in one but you could also use one not the other

Good Vids. THX.

[Lumpyone]

I recommend using the red (Hi-temp) rtv, as it's good for much higher temperatures.

[slodeth5]

They are nice stoves. Very rugged.

[MrLeonard55]

Very well made instructional video.

[ninjalrt]

can use a different epoxy brand right?.. 

[Woodenarrows]

@ninjalrt Sure, as long as it is a high temp epoxy. The JB Weld stuff is readily available (in the US at least) and rated for 600 degrees.

This is an excellent video.

Great DIY. Made sense to me!

[spartencamp]

you can just use a regular crosscut plade on it I used to cut aluminum window and door parts with them all the time works great

[gimmisum]

do you think children are watching this you dork you forgot to tell us to plug the saw in so we can cut the can. stop talking

[TheJohnBrett]

very good instructional video! For one thing, I really appreciated your emphasizing the importance of safety goggles (btw - I'm a fan of the safety stop saw because as you said "you never know when somethings gonna happen")

I also picked up a couple of tips I hadn't though of:

a)leave the assembly upside down so the epoxy will run down hill and

b) if you keep the leftover epoxy handy you'll know when the assembly had set

thanks for the good work

just whatever the finest tooth blade you have would be best

[survivalist911]

great video andd is that a golf cart in the backround?

[tomstedham]

This is a great instruction video!

[NCHiker1970]

For your weep holes I tend to use an old paper hole punch, but we all use what we have. Awesome job on this project!

[rsloser1]

[OutdoorCoolingSyst]
