- video shows how to build 5 types of Tuna-Can Alcohol Stoves (2 dual-can ones, 2 single-can ones and a 4 can stove are all shown). the creative process of designing the stoves and the associated experimenting is included too and shows how i arrived at the designs. all heated up very fast and boiled 3/4 to 1 cup of water quickly (in a minute or two). price of the fuels and the benefits (and drawbacks) of each are discussed in the video. note: always wear safety glasses when testing your stove design. lastly, for my thoughts & conclusions on the stoves and fuels make sure to watch the last 30 seconds of the video.

your video is by far the most practical ever. i just got another hobby to try now. thanks
hi and thanks. have fun building and using it 😎✔
I made one and I agree, it's excellent. It's now my go-to alcohol stove.
I know that you have many videos of different types of diy stoves but I really like the first one. I have plenty of the more expensive types but I want to have many cheap extras to give away if necessary or to just add to my diy 24 hour food bags to keep everything together and again, to give away when needed. Thank you for doing the experiments for us and then show us what works!
hi you're welcome ✔🙂🔥
I find that isopropyl burns a bit dirty and will cover the bottom of the pot with soot. I usually put a piece of sturdy aluminum foil to cover the pot bottom. I find that HEET burns pretty clean and hot. I now have a larger container and I mix one 7 oz. bottle of HEET with one 16 oz. bottle of isopropyl and no soot problem. I buy both products at my local dollar type store. I use something like your four can setup. I use a computer fan cover as a stove grill and it lets me put smaller pots directly on top of the stove.

hi and thanks!
Thank you for this. I have been experimenting and so far found candles the best for me but this looks even better
Maybe 3 years late but how can a candle has enough fire to suite your needs?
Love the ideas.
You should think about putting a book together with pictured instructions on all your amazing ideas so just in case shtf we have a compendium of ideas and plans. Alot of folks have bogus books on something similar but they are nothing compared to what I have seen here on your channel. You are an innovator
I would buy it
Oh yes!
thank you so much for doing this! i appreciate it.
you're welcome! ✔
Excellent Sir!
That was super awesome,I subscribed, I'm going to try and make one.👍
Thanks for showing us. Take care.
you're welcome. you too! 😎👍
Wow got to try these thanks l enjoyed every minute cheers from Australia
Great stoves!
Great job. Good video
You are a Master Stove Builder...
Making stoves is fun. My screen name should be Mrs Pyro LOL
Pyro Payne lol! Love it.
Very informed review with some great points never demonstrated until now by you--thank you for sharing.
i know Im asking randomly but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Greyson Aron instablaster :)
@Fox Ayaan thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Fox Ayaan it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
@Greyson Aron No problem xD
Great video, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Here in the U.K. I use BioEthanol liquid fuel.The make I’ve bought is EkoFuel,it works very well.
sweet!
We're did you buy it in the UK? please

YOU ~ ROCK ! !
Any idea on how well a top burning single hole design (that would need a pot holder) would work?
Did you use a safety can opener, great video
Interessante!
First I've enjoyed this video , and it's woke up questions for me, so this yellow fuel (heet ) would i need to worry about a self life , say a couple of years ? and do you think this would be a better cooking way than a soup can wood stove ? Thanks for a great video Johnny b.
Very nice....I have got a DIY alcohol stove....saludos de BILLIG CAMPER desde Alemania.
Nice
Thanks
Can you use heet in a single can set up or ia that too much oxygen
One model which can be done without tools is put steelwoll into can and wick in middle. Low power and no soot. Aluminum foil and toilet paper stove works. Use bottle bottom to form cup and fill it of alcohol soaked paper.
Can you build an auto refill alcohol stove.
Use carbon felt inside cans to extend burn times.
I've seen videos where they run a stove with the same amount of alcohol both with and without felt and the run time was almost exactly the same, to the second.
How long the fuel last?
Can you do one with a Seresto can?
アルコール燃料は高火力なので、コンロ、ストーブとしての実用性は
高い。調理器具に「煤」がほとんどつかない事でも使い勝手はいいと思います。
しかしガスなどに比べると高価な燃料の部類です。
燃費を気にしなければ細かい細工は無用だと思います。（金属製の容器なら...）
省燃費→（より少ないアルコールで早くお湯が沸かせる）には穴のあけ方などの
工夫が必要。この動画はその辺には触れていないようです。
（映像だけを見る限り）
Nice stoves but you look a little nervous lighting them maybe long matches?😊
👍👍👍🇧🇷
awesome, one thing I have learnt for sure.. you may have been eating too much tuna...btw.. careful!! mind those hands!
¿Que combustible usas?
😁😁😁👍👍👍👏👏👏
I have a question. I built an an alcohol stove and it worked fine to heat the bricks above it. The problem I ran into is this. A new, opened bottle of isopropyl alcohol burned fine. Alcohol from the same bottle, (capped overnight), wouldn't light at all. What gives?
Are you using 70% or 91% alcohol assuming you are using rubbing alcohol? I had trouble with 70 and solved with 91. Not everyone carries 91.
The text at the end said he used 70%
hi there. 70% isopropyl alcohol should work fine every time (even if it's a bottle that's been in the cabinet for 10 years). my thoughts/suggestions are... don't use 50% isopropyl because there is too much water in that. if you're using 70% - did you remember to dump the "leftover water" out of the container before you added more alcohol. if you don't do that every time, the alcohol could be too watered down.
Try 91% iso?
Dude invest in a step drill or two you'll get cleaner holes
What was your altitude over the sea? As higer as difficult
hi. my area is a little above sea level 700' to 1000' (but not very high)
Can this method actually reduce your power bill by using a 220 volt stove less?
hi. absolutely 👍
@@desertsun02 This method works pretty well. Im surprised how well it works. VS the gas generator or the 220 stove or if the power goes out this is the way to go.
first time i saw a tuna can and I bought 4 pop can to try to make one and i have 6 tuna cans wish i watched this earlier 🤨
Sir,Can I use petrol?
Assuming you have not yet blown yourself up, ... Absolutely, positively, *_NO!!!_*
Using gasoline (petrol) is very dangerous, even when using a specially designed burner. You saw the times the alcohol made a small explosion? Well, petrol would have made a *_BIG_* one.
How do you turn off this stove?
You blow on it what do you think
Hey how do you turn off it
I don’t think he showed this but there’s a power button on the side. Just push it.
Question, would oils work? Like olive oil?
Mishi Hernandez no sir, the fuel should be one that evaporates quickly, and burns at high temperatures. Olive oil may burn but the fuel should also be able to create pressure at high temperatures for the jet models
Olive oil and such only work if you have some kind of wick in the oil. I ate a can of anchovies that was pack in olive oil and there was about an ounce of oil left in the can. As an experiment I rolled up bit of cotton cloth I had cut up to make char cloth and laid it in the can with the tip over the edge. I let it soak up the oil for a few minutes and then lit it. It burned perfectly, as bright as a good candle. The oil in the tin probably would have burned for at least 45 mins, maybe even an hour.
It's better to attach this device at the pipe of a biogas tank!
Why not the red bottle of HEET?
Red Heet is isopropyl alcohol sooty. Yellow Heet is nearly 100% methanol. Poisonous (very), but very nice in the alky stove. No soot, burns clean.
My problem with the alcohol stove is the sticky residue that remains or drips into my cup during storage. How do you avoid this problem?
I use Ziploc bags.
use higher quality alcohol.

You should wear shoes when you are doing projects like this in case you spill or knock something over.
