  • how did you fasten the cans to the lids? are they welded? or just smaller than the actual diameter and bent?

  • @LAZERBEEMofTRUTH Thanks for watching. The hole in the lid of the outer can is smaller in diameter than the inter can. Tabs cut around the edge of that hole bend down when you push the can through and spring load against the inter can holding it tightly in place.

  • This might be a dumb question?

    Do you think a super size version of this would work for a portable fire pit? Like a 55 gallon drum. I live in the desert southwest and fire wood is not always easy to come by. I thought a wood gas fire pit might use less fuel for a small campfire? Any thoughts

  • Hello 1800jayd, Larger Wood Gas burners work great. A friend has built a couple of campfire/wood gas stoves from large popcorn tins for the outer can and charcoal chimney starters for the inner can or burn chamber, with very good results. They are very good for cooking and for smoke free campfires. And are extremely efficient with fuel.

    It should be possible to build real nice burner from a 55 gal drum cut down to size for the outer can with a 30 gal drum cut to fit for the burn chamber.
