Not sure of the point of this. #1 it can only be used outside because of the smoke #2 not many people have access to fine sawdust ( the finer the sawdust the longer the burn time ) in a SHTF situation. It would make more sense to use the cans to make a small rocket stove that you can burn twigs in for as long as you need the heat source
@@RichardStansfield when you're making the stove and you have the center tube where you want to pack everything in and make sure it's tight can you use a cardboard tube and forget about removing it and just use it as fodder in the fire
@@RichardStansfield I have a small sawmill I cut white port orford cedar I have very fine dust that I can put into bags when it gets wet I can put twice as much in if I put my material in wet and started a fire at the bottom to dry it out as it's burning it just a thought how much sawdust do you need I'm thinking to make it into fuel another byproduct what size beams do you need white port orford cedar
@@RichardStansfield I do have a bayonet it's a 1903 Springfield off of a 30-06 brought back from world war I hung on a wall and discarded as garbage trash if it's metal throw it away when I saw that hanging on the wall after I asked the guy 12 times if he wants to keep it if it's metal he said throw it away thank you very much sir
@@RichardStansfield and American pickers think they have all the fun I have a tandem Schwinn bicycle from the late 50s in perfect running order come from a scrap cleanup what people throw away
Hi Emil, sorry I don't know abricht but I don't think it really matters much as to what creates the sawdust, it should still work. You may find the burn times change depending on how large or small the particles are
Thanks for all the comments. I would like to draw attention to a health issue highlighted by a few people. Cooking ANY food in the tin is not recommended as food tins are often coated inside with BPA chemical compound. This is obviously not good eating..... I really need to do a new video using a proper food cooking pot on the top
Burn the inside to make it clean if you wish. Heating a just opened soup can is just that, only heating. Processing for canning gets to a much higher temp. You are good to go for a lunch. No worries mate.
That was really cool! First time I've seen this idea. This is a great idea for anyone who generates saw dust from either cutting fire wood or construction. Thank you for the video!!
Use "gallon" for stronger longer heat be able to cook meal. Our neighbour back home in the city uses them to save on fuel cost ie elctricity propane kerosene, when cooking meals. They used to go to the nearby lumber yard to collect saw dust in their push cart.
Hmmmmn I will have to try my Swiss knife as not all cans produced are the same thickness. Oddly enough it does cut right through. Something to try on my next bicycle tour.
I’ve been building these for years. Us PVC pipe. Use a hole saw to put a hole in the bottom of the upright price. I use a 2” upright and a 1 1/2 horizontal. Pack the sawdust very tightly in the drum and pull out the horizontal pipe then the vertical pipe. PVC pulls out easier than anything I have found. Looks great!
Lightly moisten the sawdust, or even sawdust/shredded paper mix, with old, used cooking oil or grease, and you will more then double your heating/cooking time.
Oh look, Rich is in the car park again, playing Boy Scout, warming his tin of Baxters. I’m off to the canteen. Anyone coming? Seriously, that is a great idea, and a well explained video.
