Dude, this a brilliant design! I would change/enlarge the top opening so you don't need a funnel to fill it but that's just a refinement. Like you, I REALLY like the sturdiness and built-in priming cup! I can't help wondering how many different cans you tried before hitting on the right one?
@intenseangler I made this stove, but the seal between the top portion and the primer pan isn't water-tight, so the heet just leaks out of it slowly. I was wondering if this was something that you may have faced in the making of this stove.
Full marks on this little baby...! - I have made a truck load of stoves over the last couple of years and some of them on on you Tube so I can appreciate your design here and it's top notch....and as my handle suggests... I just love fishing as well.
When I built my first stove I was so excited I looked around the house for "stuff" to make another one and found my old Axe that I hardly used. So I made this same stove but a little taller so I didnt have the step down and didnt wind up having a primer bottom, but after making about 30+ stoves and giving away most, this one has lasted where the others bent or got tossed aside and this one goes with me everytime I go hiking. Now I'll make the one you have here, thanks man.
Good looking stove. Do you know what the boil time is for 2 cups of water? Most of what I have is the Foster/mini keg pots. How far up he sides to do the flames come on the Fosters/mini keg.
@kphifer1 Thanks man, I appreciate that. The boil time isn't the fastest with this design (I think the original tests were around 10 mins for 2 cups), but it burned forever! I've tweaked a couple things on it since, and it knocked quite a bit off of the boil time. It works great with the Foster's/beer can pots... in fact, I use it for both my 20oz Fosters and 8oz "mini" pots. Hope that helps....
New to this, I would really appreciate a "how to make this" vid. It looks really great and very sturdy. I would assume you'd only have to make one and be done with diy stoves lol either way great job brother
@turbofiend1 My apologies for the super slow reply Bro. And thanks a bunch for the compliments on the stove by the way... I appreciate that. I've been thinking of doing a tutorial vid on how to make this stove... hopefully I can get it posted before too long here. Take care....
Did another version of this style stove a while back. What I like is the toughness of it, as you said. You'd have to hit it with a rock to hurt it. Your's is a great design with that primer shelf. Very cool John
@slodeth5 Thanks John, I appreciate that buddy :-) I've got to look through your vids and see if I can find that one... you always have great ideas for stoves!
P.S. It's good to see my ol' friend "slodeth" again! ;-)
That's one of the best designs I've seen so far! I've looked at alot of diy alcohol stoves on you-tube and I have made a bunch of different stoves from these videos, but your's appears to be a great design. Fortunately for me, my youngest son uses Axe, so I can make a couple of this stove. Thanks again. Be safe out there.
Thanks John I wasn't very happy with the penny stoves I made. I will b trying this one. I actually bought a Gassifying wood stove. These things r amazingly efficient and u don't have to carry fuel. Ur stove looks like just the thing 4 my upcoming kayak camping trip
@cheekyricho Right on Brother... I hope it works out for you! I agree with you 100% on the wood stoves by the way... they are awesome not only because you don't have to mess around with the fuel, but you get the benefit of having a little campfire feel to your cooking too! :-)
Hope you have a great time on your kayak trip my friend!
@cre8tivesolutions I haven't tried that yet, but I have a couple of mods that I want to test on this concept. Thanks for the tip my friend. Take care...
absolutely bloody marvelous. i pretty much think that is the best whee little stove i've seen to date. next time i go shopping with the missus i will shop with similar tins and containers in mind... to the annoyance of my wife!
@vanrooyendavid Thank you very much for the kind words my friend! Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who causes a little annoyance with my "hobbies", hehe ;-)
I have been looking for a new alkie stove design to try out. I am making one of these as soon as my younger brother finishes up this current can! Thanks for posting!
Thanks man, 8 oz tomato sauce can hmmmm..... Cool, I probably have a few of them in the cabinet. Thanks for the advice and fast response Brother! See ya around :]
John, that design is awesome ! Very nice. I like the fact that you don't need a pot stand or seperate primer pan. hmmm.. I'll have to get back to the work bench ! Next stormy day... Thanks, PS your vids are looking great. Crag
@Cragdwella Thanks my Brother! I know what ya mean... I hate messing around with extra stuff, so it's always nice to eliminate it whenever possible! Glad I could help fill up your next stormy day man... sure beats the "honey-do's", eh? ;-)
Really looks great!!! Are you going to post a How to video on building it since you are the designer. Would really like to build one before the upcoming trip in Jan.
@kycanoecamper Thanks my friend! Yeah, I think that I will post a "how-to" vid on this one. I wasn't sure that people would be too interested or I would have just included it in this video. I have been pleasantly surprised at the response :-)
@Ggreenvideos Thanks Rich! Hmm... I'll have to try that out on the next one. I ended up drilling a few small holes in the top of this one for the fuel to drain into... seems to work out pretty good so far. Didn't like messing with that little funnel ;-0
Excellent design I really like it. I have one of those cans that I have been saving to possibiliy make a stove. This week week I will give your stove design a try. Thanks for posting this.
@Valerieannleeh The stove uses Heet. It is a gas line antifreeze that is sold and any auto part store or Meijers or Wal-Mart.It burns very clean and doesn't leave soot on your stuff like Denatured alcohol.
Excellent stove design John! You'll need to name it. I have not seen any like it, especially with the primer pan - and all made from one original can. Well done!
Sweet! This is about the coolest stove I have seen yet. You have a really great design for probably the most efficient alcohol stove out there. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing, and great job!
John, you had me at "plethora". (ha) That was an excellent video; how did you decide to use the Axe deodorant can? Amazing little stove. Do you use Heet as the fuel source?
@Winkiedoodles Haha! I've been waiting to use a big word in one of my videos for awhile now ;-)
I was just messing around trying to come up with a better stove for my Winter hiking setup, and had that old can laying around. I did use HEET... it seems to be the most efficient (and clean burning) fuel for these little stoves.
I have too much time on my hands lately... I think the Missus is getting tired of me trying to burn the house down though, so I may be getting out for ALOT of fishing soon!
I really like that design and all of your diy vids for that matter...keep them coming! I would however be very interested to know the boil time and amount of alcohol for two cups in the fosters pot for use with rehydrating meals. Have you done any experimented with that yet?
I actually did a few boil tests and posted the results in the description area just a little bit ago. It boiled 2 cups in just over 8 mins. using a little more than half an ounce of HEET. Not the fastest, but it seems to be fairly efficient. Hope that helps....
Nice little stove there John. The built-in primer pan is a cool feature. Why not cut out the inside top ring for a larger fill hole? As a rule, I don’t use body sprays but I’ll look for this can to see what it looks like.
@Woodenarrows Thank you Jim. Yeah, I ended up drilling a few small diameter holes in the top of the can so that the fuel can just be poured directly in... seems to work so far. Using that little funnel was a pain, lol.
Nice stove John, I haven't seen that kind of stove out there anywhere. And I have looked at a bunch, Hey I seen the video of how to install that ring in the pot on your other video, may I ask what can & brand to get the ring for the jumbo Monster can? I really like the little cooking pot and the cool thing is they come in so many colors. Thanks Brother for the post.
@meatmangary Thanks Brother... I'd hate to take credit for someone else's design! As far as the ring: I used an 8oz tomato paste can for the Monster pot, and a jalapeno can for the bigger pot... I forget the brand names, but I think I show both cans in one of the other 2 "pot" videos that I did. Hope that helps Bro. If not, let me know and I'll look 'em up for ya ok.
@CrypticCRICKET Thanks my friend, I really appreciate that! And I'm with you... it's better to build it to last than to build it over and over! Take care....
@ridebks Thanks Brother! I actually have to give you some credit on this man... all those cool stoves that you've been coming up with have made me break out the cans and start trying to find the perfect setup for my system. Thanks for the inspiration!
what size type of can did you use to get a ring for that energy drink pot. I tried a fosters pot and a tuna can ring and found the ring to be too big eve after stretching the can as you described in your video. Maybe I should have stretched the fosters pot with another foster can first, but you video made it look so easy. I would like to try it again with a smaller can and ring but could use some more specifics.
@spectre9801 I used an 8oz tomato paste can I got from the dollar store (I think I show it in my "Nesting Pots" video). As far as the Foster's pot ring: That jalapeno can I used on the first pot has been the best fitting one so far for a ring, but I have made a couple since using generic tuna cans from Walmart... they work really well if you sand the outer part of the ring a little before installing. I have noticed that some cans are practically the same size, but have minor variations in size,
That is a really cool stove and a great Idea John. I wonder if that design will work with other spray type cans like sunblock or hairspray. Thanks for the video.
@woodscraftoutdoors Thank you my friend. Hmm, I'm not sure to be honest... the unique thing about the AXE can is that it has that stepped-down taper that allows it to fit snugly into the bottom section. If you come across anything like it you'll have to let me know. Take care!

And I have looked at a bunch, Hey I seen the video of how to install that ring in the pot on your other video, may I ask what can & brand to get the ring for the jumbo Monster can? I really like the little cooking pot and the cool thing is they come in so many colors. Thanks Brother for the post.

@meatmangary Thanks Brother... I'd hate to take credit for someone else's design! As far as the ring: I used an 8oz tomato paste can for the Monster pot, and a jalapeno can for the bigger pot... I forget the brand names, but I think I show both cans in one of the other 2 "pot" videos that I did. Hope that helps Bro. If not, let me know and I'll look 'em up for ya ok.
Take care Gary!

I love that it has a built in priming tray no need to wrap a wick around it or worry about alcohol dripping on to the ground.
Great job

@digitizer101 I agree... I've always disliked having to mess around with priming pans. Plus it's fun watching the way it fires as it primes! lol
Thanks!

@CrypticCRICKET Thanks my friend, I really appreciate that! And I'm with you... it's better to build it to last than to build it over and over! Take care....

Great stove! To me, matching the stove to the pot is the key. Fun stuff!

@ridebks Thanks Brother! I actually have to give you some credit on this man... all those cool stoves that you've been coming up with have made me break out the cans and start trying to find the perfect setup for my system. Thanks for the inspiration!

what size type of can did you use to get a ring for that energy drink pot. I tried a fosters pot and a tuna can ring and found the ring to be too big eve after stretching the can as you described in your video. Maybe I should have stretched the fosters pot with another foster can first, but you video made it look so easy. I would like to try it again with a smaller can and ring but could use some more specifics.

@spectre9801 I used an 8oz tomato paste can I got from the dollar store (I think I show it in my "Nesting Pots" video). As far as the Foster's pot ring: That jalapeno can I used on the first pot has been the best fitting one so far for a ring, but I have made a couple since using generic tuna cans from Walmart... they work really well if you sand the outer part of the ring a little before installing. I have noticed that some cans are practically the same size, but have minor variations in size,

P.S. I'll have a talk with "Santa" and see if he can't get you one for X-mas ;-)

That is a really cool stove and a great Idea John. I wonder if that design will work with other spray type cans like sunblock or hairspray. Thanks for the video.

@woodscraftoutdoors Thank you my friend. Hmm, I'm not sure to be honest... the unique thing about the AXE can is that it has that stepped-down taper that allows it to fit snugly into the bottom section. If you come across anything like it you'll have to let me know. Take care!
