I have a very smart son! I am so proud of you! You even taught the old mom something new! If I ever get to go camping again I will definitely make one of these!
Excellent instructional video BackwoodsUncleBub! I learned a lot, and plan to make me one of those! Have you done a boil test with it? Be interested in how fast it boils.
@Wintertrekker I have not done the standard 2 c. of water boil time test. However, I have used it a lot and it boils within 5-6 minutes. I actually use that very Buddy Burner near the end of my "Hiking the Tennessee River Gorge Trail With the TRGT". It brought 1 1/2 L. of water to a boil in my German Mess Kit in about 15-17 minutes, for our soup on that 40°F day! Not bad for wax and cardboard in a can! :-)
Yeah, they work fine in cold weather. No trouble getting it lit or keeping it going.It is basically a short, fat candle with cardboard as a wick. As long as you can light a candle in the cold weather, you'll be able to light the buddy burner. :-)

Great video, by the way what was the maximum temp it can produce and for how long this buddy burner lasts? Cheers!

Do these work well in low temps??

I like the time-lapse so you don't have repetitive footage.
I remember using this stove when I was a kid.

Old pizza box= no mess and you can easily reclaim your overpoured wax.
