I'll show you how to make a great little portable stove from stuff you probably have laying around your house! It's perfect for camping, backpacking, and power outages.
You guys could use it to cook up one of those little minnows Heather was catching in that one video of yours..
By NK5 1190758019I wass doing pre-heat an thing blew up in mi hand. My hand hurts so, badly. One finger hang off & bleed badly. I go to hospital noww. Poor Fernandoooo.
By fernando.casas 1190815002I don't have the stove in house. I tri to make yur stove. But thsi blow up in my hand., you not warn of that. Doctor save my finger. My hand still hav the bandadge. Sorry , the english is not good. I talk to the lawyer about you.
By fernando.casas 1191551852be very useful for many people and we want some more of these useful amazing videos. keep it up
p.s. NK5 is gonnna earn alot of money with dis vid....
enjoy
Mnnn can hacks are good this week ;) Hoping next week you can hack a can to predict football scores... please. Nice video dude.
By mattysiam 1190818616Findmorefun duped your vid too and submitted it. I'd like to kill the guy... 8P
By babblin5 1190897887can i use lighter fluid or kerosene instead using heet??
and use cotton instead of fiberglass?
Pls...I need your help...
No, don't use cotton balls, they'll burn. The whole point of using the fiberglass is because it won't burn.
By Piratess 1249490983, most probably, you forgot the FUEL as well...
By Snoppy_First 1190774825Everclear works very well, burns clean, and lasts a good time.
Just don't drink any before trying to make the stove or it will end up looking like something that fell off a car on the freeway!
..utility knife, coat hangar, fiberglass and thumb tack.
I always forget those.
Nice idea and very well presented. EXCELLENT! 90% Isopropyl alchohol works great too ( already made one =) or probably Everclear, although I haven't tried that yet, cause I'd probably wind up drinking it...
By babblin5 1190782101What about the possibility of fuel leakage from that home made stove? Also,what about the vailidity and durability of the fiberglass? Finaly,what about security of that stove ?
By enormous nose 1191076525I made this stove EXACTLY as you told me but ended up slicing my arm off with the utility blade!!! Then when i tried to preheat the stove it blew up taking my other arm off!!!!! So i watched the video again and tried it again but this time blew both my F**king legs off !!!!!! 5 STARS
By MadOzZy 1198594820how the F**k does this guy get 64 ups just for saying 'this is freaking awesome' F**k u guys are lame. And the fuckn clip isnt even that great ffs comment on some real issues u fuckn lamers.
By bekhouse 1193033164You're way too smart man...
Great looking little stove! I'm making one!!!
It works surprisingly well.
There are other designs out there, but this one is by far the easiest to make.
Just mix the Heet into the Soda, drink it, and your insides are burned! No need to cook anything.
By ZackScott 1190756393thats pretty pimp.... Put a tray of shrimp to cook that you caught from the steam... excellent!
By MetaCafeHelper 1190756514You made a stove and sat it on top of the stove LOL I'm gonna go make dinner now and make a stove like that to cook dinner on! 5 stars!
By hersheymagic2 1190756569I noticed it looked like a stove when I was editing it, though.
By NK5 1190757793"Hey honey. I'm cooking dinner tonight! Where's the mini steak?" Nice idea and well done!
By Kipkay 1190756482This is great. Perfect for fishin :). Thanks for sharing this with us.
By fishin4daze 1190764827fishing for days. Just take a few of these with you. :-)
By NK5 1190766461if your cans all have puncture holes down near the bottom? All of mine seem to have those. The next time I need to boil filthy water in a soda bottle, I'll know how to heat it up. Thanks!
By Liv Films 1190759856This is cool you could make a couple to take with you camping and just fill them when you get there.Nice idea:)
By Slyder2k6 1190765340It does. It actually is more efficient, too It is a bit harder to find for some reason, though.
You can find HEET (Methanol) at almost any gas station.
That way you can get sloshed and have enough left for the stove
By hazardus 1190771804Thanks for that.
Everclear is expensive, but burns well and you can drink it.
I made one of these back in college in my dorm. The shim really helps put the halves together
By 2guys 1190771239Even after stretching the bottom lip a little, I had to use the shim to put it together.
By NK5 1190773566You can make a fire :)
But nice, i could see myself camping with no stove and trying to remember the instructions from your video :)
Especially here in Colorado. We are almost always on fire restrictions.
By NK5 1190774118Finally A video That deserves a hell of a lot of money, Great job, That looks so professional for using soda cans
By jdan101 1190771472I checked out your videos too.
Your snow cream video is great! You should delete it and re-submit just as we start getting snow again. It should be popular enough to get thousands of views in a day or two!
how much cooking do you expect to do? whats wrong with sterno
By francine68 1190771405It's portable. It's mostly for backpacking or camping emergencies, like when camp fires are not allowed.
Sterno is good, but it's heavy.
5 stars, one of the best videos that i have seen here on metacafe!
By duffrynmad 1190883770i need to know.. what other kind of oil i can use to replace the heet? im having trouble to find one... please reply.. thanks
By khalis 1190834012Everclear (150 proof drinking alcohol), Isopropyl Alcohol (get at least 91% at Walgreens or another pharmacy), or denatured alcohol (methyl spirits).
Denatured alcohol works best.
(1) What is Heet? Is it some kind of lighter fluid?
(2) Now that the stove is lit, how do you turn it off?
It's made of around 90 % methanol. You can find it in almost any gas station.
This particular stove is easy to put out, much like a candle. It will also burn itself out within about 10 minutes at most.
That is fantastic, I want to try that! Any way to adjust the intensity of the flame? adding more Heet maybe? The flame looked pretty small when you first ignited it.
Great job, I hope to see more stuff like this.
Adding more Heet doesn't really effect the flame, just makes it burn longer. There are mods where you can insert a small ring with holes beneath the rim of the stove. When you turn the ring it makes the holes the flame comes out of larger or smaller, making your flame larger or smaller.
The flame is small to start with, it takes about a minute to get going, but this thing really isn't for simmering. Make the water hot, dump in your dehydrated hiker food, cook it as fast as you can because you are hungry.
The prehistoric men would have liked to see your video... At their time !
5 and digg !
If you keep makin' videos like that, your gonna give Kipkay a run for his money!! well done
By scalp340 1190791863Very creative at least these are items that are more common around the house
By PWNZORD 1190791668The penny stove is a bit different design and a lot harder to make.
The penny stove is probably the best alcohol stove there is. Well designed.
I saw that idea before..i think a filipino(from the philippines) invented it
By ?$4t 1190784992I wondered where the idea came from. They have been around for quite a while.
By NK5 1190811346If you bring enough fuel.
A few table spoons is enough to boil a pot of water.
If you use denatured alcohol instead, it will burn even longer on the same amount of fuel.
Denatured alcohol is harder to find, though. It's also called Methyl Spirits.
You would need to wait till it goes out on its own?
Is there any way to put it out instantly?
Except putting water all over it :P
Or you can blow on it up close.
This particular type of can stove isn't very wind proof.
Ask KipKay how to make a wind shield out of some tin foil and a box.
Its cool and good presentation I like it,I will try to experiment,this is very helful in some cases if we need to pre-heat having a pair of soup like japanese style serving
By Marvel2710 1191086604Interested in making some extra cash?
eazymoneyy.blogspot. com
why is this still a candidate? shouldn't you have like 400 bucks by now?
By MikeTheAsian 1190923898view my channel and ill show you how to get loads of views on videos
ciao
You can find it at most gas stations in the US.
Alternative fuels are Denatured alcohol (methyl spirits - find it where paint is sold), everclear (150% drinking alcohol) and 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
i'm going to build one of these right now. right after i finished fapping off to the massage videos. i would love some hot coco right now.
By copkillersrule 1190898918Realy nice man, I tried my self it works NICELY !!!
(5.1 Stars !!!)
ha! ...KipKay didn't of this one!!!!!! ...good one mate!
By luisrebollar 1190887382where would i get fiberglass? i mean, is that the same as whats insulating my house?
By prometheus5500 1190872395That's actually what I used. I just grabbed some from the basement isulation.
By NK5 1190895785I made a few of these today, and they work great! I couldn't find Heet (I'm in Canada, not sure if they sell that here) so I used nail polish remover instead. Works fantastic and for a long time (big flames if you put a lot), although it leaves a nasty smell. I'll try to find a better fuel, anyone have some recommendations?
And I had problems with a flame coming out the fill holes, so I fixed that by dropping a penny on to the fill holes after it was lit (kind of like the penny stove).
Thanks again!
If you don't use an alcohol based fuel, the stove could easily explode. Petroleum based fuels are too volatile.
The other fuels that work well are denatured alcohol (also called methyl spirits - find it at a paint store), everclear (the kind you drink - 150 proof), and 91% rubbing alcohol.
I listed those in order of efficiency. Denatured alcohol burns the hottest and lasts the longest.
i have to add another bookmark now...i have way too many metacafe bookmarks...i had to give them their own folder...lol
Great vid...5strs ofcourse
If you use denatured alcohol, a few tablespoons will easily boil a couple of pots of water before burning through all the fuel.
One little bottle of HEET will last you several camping trips.
how the hell do you think of such a thing. u frikin good. 5 stars
By beanz007 1190843122This has been around for years, and in various forms.
I took bits from different designs and combined them into the most simplistic and easy to make version, then made a video of it.
I didn't want to rub Kip's fans the wrong way, and I wasn't sure how popular this was going to be. A lot of people have never heard of KipKay! *shudder*
By NK5 1190851306Urg, I am so upset. I was totally making this same thing to put on Metacafe's producer rewards because I am an avid backpacker and realized its one of the few original things not on here yet! Good game NK5
By tketch 1190840782Not sure why we all thought of it at the same time. Odd.
By NK5 1190851244..but only once.
The vapors would likely explode the can, giving you third degree burns and shrapnel. No joke.
Use only alcohol based fuels in this stove! Everclear, methyl spirits (denatured alcohol), methanol, ethanol, etc...
And you could roast some of those mini marshmallows.
It's the new age diet - only eat what you can cook with the can stove!
I edited it for brevity.
It actually took about five minutes to boil the water.
They have been around for a while.
Not everyone has heard of them, though!
Another great one man. Keep them coming.
Thanks
I love the feedback.
Is that skateboard dude in your video ever going to be able to reproduce? That looks like that might have hurt for a few months!
But only if you wanted to burn the place down!
They get REALLY hot.
Wow...that's really awesome!!!
Your Vid's are really great and useful...5 stars NK5!
Glad so many people are enjoying them! They are fun to make.
By NK5 1190779793do you need a wind screen with this for camping?
By lococabesa 1190776843The windscreen also keeps the heat focused up into the stove. I liked using just a piece of aluminum foil that I could wrap around the base of my pot. This saves probably about 30-40% of the heat that otherwise would escape out the sides.
By pantsmcgee 1190821575i have lots of that around the house
By s9qok4zxa6 1190776405You want the stuff that is 91% or higher. Walgreens sells it.
Otherwise, it burns very yellow and leaves a lot of soot. It's also not very efficient and you will burn through a lot more of it faster.
..that's a different type of can stove.
This one is pressure based.
Actually, that's how you know when you've preheated it enough. The second you can't hold on to it any longer, light it up!
By NK5 1190776163It's a fuel additive you can find at almost any gas station.
It's made of 99% Methanol.
It is probably the greatest alcohol camping stove ever made.
This one is much easier to make, however.
You are freaking amazing NK5. Where did you learn that from? It was just genius.
By Razorg606 1190771412I saw something similar on the internet and wanted to do something a bit easier to make.
By NK5 1190772541As shown, it will burn just long enough to boil a pot of water, or about 5 minutes.
You can easily make it last longer by making it bigger and use more efficient fuel like denatured alcohol.
The can is nearly indestructible. Aluminum won't melt at these temperatures.
I can just leave the old Coleman at home and cook with Alcoa! Question: How long do these stoves cook with the 2 teaspoons of Heet and how many times can these stoves be used? Keep posting the useful and practical ideas! 500 stars!
By legendary240 1190809778I'll post again. My other reply seems to be missing now.
I used about three tablespoons of HEET to biol that pot of water. If I had used denatured alcohol, I could have easily boiled two pots, as it burns much more efficiently.
These little buggers are extremely rugged and long lasting. I have read that people have used the same can stove for 20 years!
I hope you do very well. A lot better content here than some of what gets a lot of views!
Good job!
It took off like crazy. More than I could have anticipated.
I'm checking out your videos right now. Neat stuff in there.
Most of my videos are not that good, I am still learning as this is all new to me. I took my first video down today. Probably many more will go down but I hope not.

where is the fiber glass used for?... cauz i don't know how or where to get it...
By rikels 1197137005It may be buit iv seen it on youitube,google and evrywere!
By debo12 1195929348that was the best thing i ever saw in metacafe instead of sex...by the way....can the heet being replaced with something else???
By lt najib 1191174735When sanding the bottom of the can, try not to get too much can dust on yourself because unoxidized aluminum is toxic.
By Forthac 1191170376Trangia is making camping stoves with this kind of heater.
Check out their design to improve your own.
If you put the filler holes away from the center you will create a small bowl that will contain alcohol after you fill the stove.
It should be able to be lit and preheat the stove. I haven't tried it but it should work.
can i use any kind of antifreeze?i am from romania and i am afraid i won't be finding heet anywhere.
By primavara 1261056447kerosene would work if you put a wick in the center and the sides were air holes, then the fuel wouldn't evaporate when you're not using it.
By Agent of Zurg 1233878023erm, is it ok to use lighter fluid, like those to refill the lighter one
By eagleclaws5 1229361255Nice little stove, thank you for showing us how to make one, Im going to make one or maybe two!! Thanks.
By Zttman 1208677355great video ,,,,,neat,,,please check out my videos
im definatly trying this at home..what kinda heet is it where do i buy it? can i just use like zippo fluid or rub alcahol?
By titsko 1206635100Excellent instructions, execution, and product. I made a similar one 4 years ago that has served me well, but yours has touches that I prefer. Thanks for your video!
By survivaltek 1205605276i use butane from a lighter refill to prime it. just push the nozzle against one of the holes and light it. the butane will burn for around 30 seconds then the heet will start to burn ;) no more burning yourself.
By johnathon007 1204137526Very handy indeed, you can carry in pocket and just add the HEAT when you're going to use it. Excellent my friend, 5 stars for you . :)
By optic 1202807909great idea, it can be used when camping in the woods, long vehicles drivers or any driver who drives long will need to make one like it
By great human 1202763241Do you have to use the fiberglass and Heet mixture? I'm having some trouble finding Heet.
By ElliotBrazil 1202041010Good mayne but it will not light,also you culd sell these and make some doe!:)
By debo12 1195864646Good mayne i like it after awile i will have my channel uip and runnin!
By debo12 1195864465but just curious is that a better heat supply than just a can of sterno ?, don't get me wrong ,I think its an awesome stove, and it even looks like a real stove how it burns, but does it work better than sterno
I think there really cheap the sterno cans
The reason this is better than Sterno is the weight. Ten of these cans and the fuel will weigh less than one Sterno stove.
By NK5 1198600051The reason this is better than Sterno is the weight. Ten of these cans and the fuel will weigh less than one Sterno stove.

By NK5 1198598104One of the more practical educational vids. on Metacafe.
Thanks dude.
This stove will not work without a priming pan. You cannot just hold a lighter under it for a few seconds to prime it.
By unrealtrip 1193183988The preheating only takes a few seconds. The goal is to turn some of the liquid into vapor so you can light it.
What you see in the video was not staged. It really took that small amount of time to preheat. Once you can no longer hold onto the can without burning your fingers, the preheating is complete - 15 seconds max.

Where can I find Heet and Fiberglass!?
I'm going camping soon and I really want to try this!!
What if i don't have any fiber glass can i use cotton instead? or tissuse paper?
By dis_one_dude 1191783019I have to say this could come in handy, providing a person had all the material.
By gregl 1191637720this has to be the best instructable / metacafe vid ever!!! im definitely going to make one now. you deserve every penny you make!
By tippmannphreak 1191627374yeah, thru hikers (people doing the AT, PCT, CDT) have been using these for years, mostly because they weigh next to nothing (like .5 oz). They are so popular resupply stops will carry HEET just for the hikers to use. Great video though, blows away any of the old step-by-step instructions i have seen/used before.
