How To Make A Stainless Hobo Stove Out Of A 3qt Pot
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 03. 2022
- I've been wanting to build a stainless steel hobo stove for years and have only recently been looking at pots from the Goodwill Store. This $3 Revere Ware pot was the deepest one I could find, 4 1/2". I think I can make it of the same design as my other Hobo Stoves. It will have a place to catch ashes, a perforated elevated floor, and side ventilation.

You made the hole making in SS look so easy 🙂 . Great item made.
I'm glad you brought that up. Stainless is difficult to drill because it's so hard. I have many years of experience drilling every thickness of SS possible. So many people have said that I should have been drilling slowly with a lube. I didn't bother to correct them. Drilling such thin SS benefits very little from low RPMs and lube. The thick stuff? you have to go slow and use a lube/coolant like Rapid Tap.
I'm surprised you didn't have big burrs on the drilled holes
Honey, have you seen my sauce pan your mother gave me for our wedding, I can’t find it?? 😂😂😂😂. Peace
LOL! I'll be cooking on it instead of in it.
And thats how you become a hobo 😆
LOL!
Hahahahahahahahahahahoh yeh!
LOL!
Good idea and quality craftsmanship as always. Kind of ironic that after all these years, the pot has become the stove!
I was going to play off that and make 2 videos about the build. 1st video to introduce you to the pot, the fabrication ideas I had, and the one last meal (cheese grits) cooked in it before it became a stove in the next video.
When your creative juices start flowing everybody benefits. Good set up. Thanks for the time you put into planning this.
This one was fun and satisfying.
I built my fire table after you made the tutorial on how to do it a few years back. Now I have another project to create... Thanks Fire Ninja! Have a great weekend.
Thanks friend!
easier fabricated from something with holes in it already
I have almost a whole set of Stainless Steel Salad Master pots, pans, and accessories that my mother passed down. The pots and pans were bought for her by my dad before I was born and I am 68 now. I cherish the pots as they cook food as advertised. Three pots stacked on top of each other just cooking away. They beat the aluminum pots any day. Great video on a hobo stove. I also have a Rever pot or two around the kitchen.
The thrift stores around here ALWAYS have Revere Ware cookware for just $3-4.
That sentiment is what I intended when I commented “what a waste. ” The Revere Ware pot and lid I got when I moved out on my own was the nest non cast iton container in my kitchen for years. After purchasing 2 different sets of cookware, it still out performs any of it and is my favorite rice pot. Id never tear up quality stainless, hell I may give it to one of my kids if I can ever get them to move out!
Really good idea David! I have a ton of old stainless pots. Great use of resources. I can even just leave it at my camp site and not have to worry about it corroding before I come back. The other great thing is, it won't be getting soot all over my backpack. I have been considering it for a while but your idea looks better than mine. Thank you sir!
I like dedicated pots and pans for the same reason. So I'll never have to scrub off all the soot every time.

Yes!
It’s always my concern how long a stove would last for after putting in so much work.
I've been looking at steaming pans. They already have the holes in the base and are usually of a lighter guage. The pan they sit on could be cut down as an ash catcher. Love the channel..........but............my OCD would kick in with you not having your vent holes line up vertically, and would really bug me as l sat by the fire. 🥴🥺😵
What a brilliant idea.
I am going to make one. I have been practicing your teachings and lighting fires just to try different ways of doing it, and this Hobo Stove not only gives you a controlled place to have a fire, but it can be used for cooking too!
Thanks Dave for all you do!
REVERE WARE COPPER MAID ~
“Premiums” were inexpensive versions of existing products which customers could obtain by buying another product. They were popular sales promotion tools of the 50’s & 60’s. Revere produced about a million pieces of the "Copper Maid" line from 1957 to 1965. They were sold door-to-door, at home based parties, and by mail order. They featured light-weight copper clad stainless steel with vapor-seal rims and a restyled Bakelite handle.
Just wondering, having a bakelight handle... does that mean it will not burn in the fire?
That's a real nice stove! I thought of doing something similar, but could never start the holes in thoz stainless steel pots!
@@cillaloves2fish688 I took the handle off. It can only withstand 350 degrees.
What a great idea using stainless steel pot for your Hobo stove. It looks so professionally made!✅👍
Thanks MAE!
Only if it wasn't his wife's favorite sauce pan, then it would be a terrible idea. 😆,
I have found similar pans at Thrift stores for cheap, so this could be an inexpensive project to make a good little camp stove.
Love it when a plan comes together. Great invention.
It took a lot to make it happen; so, that's what I was thinking too.
Thanks David for the video; a great use for an old pot!
Now I know what to do with my old stainless steel lids!
As always, You are awesome!
Thanks again!
Thanks again Dave!! Awesome stove will last a long time! Love your precision on your builds!! Also please wear safety glasses when we drill !! Bless you Sir !!
No, sorry.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl I agree.
Now if there were specific danger then evaluate, reconsider and change if it seems appropriate. Just remember "Safety Third!" because if Safety were first then no work, with even the slightest risk, would ever be started. - Joe -
I was thinking the same thing.. I'm an old man and I live like a hermit in the mountains in the middle of nowhere 🏕it is 24 Mi of dirt road just to get to the highway and then another 80 mi to the nearest hospital.. last winter I got something in my right eye and was in misery for 2 days.. I finally got it out by keeping my eye submerged in a pot of water while blinking😢😊...John 3,16 ❤
Outstanding work,David, thanks.
Great demo & innovative design. Thank you for sharing David!
Thanks John.
I like that you are precise and that you use practical solutions to make the job easier.
Thanks friend.
So impressive!
Great "Adventure", Thank You for this
Don't throw those old pots away!! Make a stove !!.......I enjoy your channel and am a brother in faith! May the LORD continue to bless and keep you and yours.....
God bless you brother Robert!
David, you never cease to amaze me on your knowledge. Love your videos.
I like working with my hands.
Great idea and great executed! 👍
What a great idea!
Very nice idea.
Great job man, cheers
I love the new stove!! Thank you for sharing your ideas, I get a lot of inspiration from your channel. ;)
Thanks Mikki!
Love this!
Cool upgrade!
AWESOME LIL STOVE GREAT JOB
Nice.this is beautiful
Great job
Great tutorial for survival living /up cycling.
Every time I tell myself it's perfection. I get my elbow stuck in my ear patting myself on my back. Good video and idea David.
Thanks DW... those initials sound familiar.
Awesome job!
Brilliant 👏 👏
wonderful idea
Cool job!!!!
What a fantastic idea 💡 👏.
My wife will be wondering where one of her pans has gone ?🤣
You made her a one of a kind spaghetti strainer. Yeah yeah that's it!
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Lovely idea 💡 😊 ❤️
Very nice hack! This is really good to recycle unused equipment in our house.
that really cool
Very cool!!! Good way to upcycle pots into something useful.!!! Thanks for the inspiration
🍃🤗🍃
Thanks Donna!
David that is a neat idea well done sir
very level and solid
Yes, really really strong and solid. It's going to last.
Perfectionist Hobo
Very cool
That is a great idea . I am gonna try that .
Please do!
Good project
Take care David
Amazing thank you so much for sharing, I’m going to build one for when I go camping 👏👏👏👏
You’re going to love it.
Very inventive. Nice video
What a awesome video I was just thinking about doing the same thing. thank you for sharing stay safe and God Bless
Looks great
Happy New Year!
Should turn the handle towards the wind so it will be less likely to melt off..
OHHHHH! That scene got edited out. At the end of the video when I walked off, I was standing at a distance looking back at the stove and saw the flames licking the handle. I went back in front of the camera and said, Here's a mistake. These side vent holes should be close to the handle not opposing it. Every time I turn those side vent holes towards the wind the flames are going to engulf the handle. The handle is coming off anyways. It's in the way and I don't like the look. I'll also be drilling a few more holes in the bottom.
@fuk' Biden Good idea!!! Make it to sit on the lip where the lid sat. The stove is not a fire hazard though. I encourage people to customize my projects to fit their needs.
Good idea 👍
Hobo stoves don't usually have handles.
@@samwilliams1142 that's one thing I wouldn't take off a paint can stove. Those style of handles are a really useful attachment point for your backpack.
Great job 🐨🇦🇺
Wow that was awesome reusing what you have, love it!
Thanks friend!
David , very cool build , good looking stove , thanks for sharing ,God bless !
Thanks friend!
Looks very good 😊Thanks and take care 😊
Thank you 😊
Nice 👍 video thanks for info
Nice layout skills!
Great build,I recently helped my Grandson build one like your original from a no.10 can. He really enjoyed the project and cooked a can of soup. Good times.
I like that style better than this pot stove. TY!
I had to look at the old sytem. Looks good.
Thank you for this video. It would appear that you have made a great stove!
That is the best hobo stove!! I am motivated to make one!❤
You can do it!
Thanks mate it's going to be part of my camping stuff🇦🇺😏👍
Great video brother
Another good video my friend! I really like the idea of using the pot, especially since it provides you another Ash catch as well as a handle which is Handy for moving it while it's burning. Very creative!
The handle is coming off. It's in the way and I don't like the look. Also I'll be drilling a few more holes in the bottom.
Pretty cool
Great video my friend, thank you for sharing it. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 😊
Likewise, friend.
I really enjoyed watching you make that stove I'm going to make one this weekend.
Let me know how it goes. From the comments I've received, I'm going to look for, at the Flea Market tomorrow, a wire grill top that I can modify and set down on the ledge where the lid went. I may for the first time with one of my stoves try some charcoal bbq cooking in it.
I love it nice job
Thank you! 😊
Thank You 💕😊
Nice video. Good sharing 👍
Awesome. Thank you
TY!
Good job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Love tHis. Making one tomorrow!! Thanks
See the mods and cooking in my next 2 videos.
You are the only other person I know who uses the masking tape and tape measure to evenly space the holes. OCD? I think not. Just good planning. Great video. Thanks.
I'm going to do the same. It's a great idea. I will also make the pot lid knob into a removable one that i can unscrew to empty ashes
Let me know how it turns out.
Dont know how i missed this, but o like it!
Nice build
Good idea
Dave, A pleasure watching you work smart even in New York City! If "things" get bad, I may just go to a second hand store find an old farberware 3 quart pot and follow your lead.Then take to the road with my beautiful hobo stove and perhaps 2 pairs of clean socks! Again a pleasure watching a practical man work smart. Wishes for the Safe travels of you and yours too! Harv from NYC. (Your neighbor up North)
You're still not far from great forests, lakes, rivers, and camping. I was raised in Conn and have family in your upstate.
That's right! Some places in the Adirondacks so beautiful they made me cry at first sight. My place, back when, in Chenango County a pretty place too.
I remember it well.
Great little stove Dave
It's the hottest burning stove I've ever made. Too fast burning for dry wood, but amazing at the way it can make wet/dampish wood burn.
My Mom's Revereware was awesome.
Nice job...im gonna make one
Please do!
Excellent prepping alternative. Thanks for sharing Sir! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks Dave!
Nice 👍
Wow that's a really nice hobo stove it looks better than the bought one
Thank you Sheila!
Just came across your video and that was so awesome. I have an old stainless steel pot that I can do this to for sure. I am going to look back at all your videos and see what other great ideas that you have done. Stay safe and keep up the hacks.

Simple and effective, I like it. Looks like me and the boys have a upcoming project👍🏻🇺🇸
Drilling the stainless by handheld drill a bit troublesome. Let me know how it turns out.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl…Will do brother, take care👍🏻🇺🇸
David, you are the Willy Wonka of fire making and you are sharing all your secrets with us. Thank You!
Thank you!
Found it!!
Thanks for sharing subscribed great video
Awesome thank you!
kind of cool for sure!
Great! Exactly what I was thinking of
😃👍🏻 Greetings from Sweden 👋
Greetings friend!
Sweet. God bless.
Same to you!
A little lube goes a long way.
Some wd40 or other oil will make those bits last longer, especially with harder metals.
It can be difficult to control the cutting speed with step drills since it varies with each step.
I’ve toasted a couple of these myself, and they aren’t cheap.
Used one to bore out a snap-on impact socket, that’s some tough stuff. Oh well, the bottom steps were still useful 😁
I’ve also used a dremel to sharpen them up again. It’s ok if you aren’t doing precise work. But then, how precise is a step drill anyway.
As an aircraft mechanic with some minor machining experience, watching other people drill holes is my version of a horror movie 🍿 🎥😲
I like this little stove.
I may try a variation on it and make a small bbq grill similar to the little table top Weber grill 👍😎
I need to make one now haha
That is interesting my friend.
Thanks for the visit!
Nice
Great idea and executed nicely. That will make a hobo happy. You should donate your creations to people living under bridges or homeless camps
