DIY Tuna Can Backpacking Stove
video description
I always use non-toxic Everclear (grain alcohol. Yep, it's more pricey than Heet ( methyl ) or denatured (toxicized ethanol) or rubbing alcohol (isopropl. with water added.
But pure grain burns ultra clean, no toxic additives, and a half shot in my cup of lemonade mix at the end of the day chases away bad dreams, fear of bears, weather concerns, and can be applied without poisoning oneself to scratches, itchy feet, .numbs toothache, . an all around topical antiseptic. worth the cost. and the weight of a more generous bottle. it's the Miracle Alcohol in my book!

DANGER! WARNING! Yes, you mentioned at 3: 34 You do not want to knock it over, because where the liquid fuel goes, the fire will follow. With one of these tuna can stoves, I made this mistake and accidentally bumped it and did just that. I had an instant fire about 3 feet or 1 meter wide! The fire was quickly put out, but things could have been worst if perhaps I was indoors or around flammables. Not to say you shouldn't use this stove, but be aware of this and use outdoors. Be safe!

This reminds me of the Hobo Stoves we made in out of Coffee cans in the Boyscouts. The coffee can is large and bulking, but strong enough to support a skillet. I like the Tuna Can better being compact. Great video.

Rather than pouring the fuel into the can, would you be able to pack some cotton balls and soak them in fuel and light them instead? Seems like it would help control the flame a little better that way.

Hi Dixie, New to your site, very good vids. Can you do a review on the rocket stove verses some of those potable wood stoves. Although bulky the Kelly Kettle looks to be the best. Thanks.

I tried this and every time I put the pot on top, the flame goes out. I kept punching more holes and trying again but it won't work no matter what. Can anyone help me understand why?

Sorry, love all your other videos, but this was just a waist of time. Here's a hint. Don't make a video on a subject that ahs been done a thousand times by people much better at it.

Great on making the stove from a tuna can. I'm totally shocked that the paper hole punch can punch though the can. Did you really sit on the rock's edge? Yikes!

I'd prefer using solid fuel tablets (hexamine) rather than carrying liquid fuel. You can easily blow them out or smother them and use them again.

Does this work the same using alcohol?
And whats the fuel efficiency, i mean how much alc is needed for a 1 hour burn for example?
