DIY Wood Gas Stove - homemade paint can gasifier. Simple and cheap. 

Thanks. I was pretty pleased with how it came out for my first test.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Thanks for the input. I'll be playing around with this design and will try your recommendations. The parts are luckily really cheap so prototypes are not going to break the bank. Did not know about wood smoke being that dangerous. Won't be using this as a tent heater anytime soon then. Thanks for the heads up and time to explain.

@@ShinyInsanity looking forward to reading about your results. If you still don't obtain enough extra heat to burn up all your carbon/smoke then the next step will be to slightly increase the size of your secondary air inlet holes to provide more oxygen to burn the available carbon but leave this as a last adjustment fine tune your primary air holes first then if further tweaking is required move on to the secondary air holes. Best of luck.

WawawwaaaA

@@ShinyInsanityI recommend the very opposite. Reduce your secondary (holes on top) make it a single row small. Allows air more time to heat and produce secondary ignition. Ratio from primary (bottom) to secondary should be 4:1 or preferably 5:1. Also make it with a progresso soup can. No need to cut the lid. Progresso snaps into paint can easy.

@@pimpjetfighter05 Hmm, Progresso soup it is then. I like their creamy chicken and wild rice so will need to try this again at some point with your tips. Thanks.

Thanks. That's a good suggestion. Need to look into doing that for the next one I build.

Thank you! I appreciate it.

No problem, good luck with your build.

I haven't seen one overheat to failure yet but that's not to say it couldn't. They're pretty easy to make so it would be something worth trying. Worse case it would only cost a paint can and some time :)

@@ShinyInsanity the mad scientist in me wants to purposefully melt one from the inside out now lol! "We must know the limits!"

Yeah I've seen some designs where they do that and couldn't see the benefit of doing it.

Its like a bushbuddy stove

@@ShinyInsanity that could be helpful for storing the pot holder away without wasting space, just tuck it in the bottom, but most do that just so the whole stove is telescopically assembled which reduces bulk a lot. tho i wouldn't mind this type since you can store a backup alcohol stove, fuel, kindling and a lighter inside the burn chamber anyway, and without a bottom in the can you'd want an ash pan to protect the floor. I suggest only making a row of secondary burn holes, and adjusting their width if need be. The smoother the hole the prettier the jet, not that it matters. You can make a pot holder out of any can that fits neatly on top and maybe even make a double layered one - one part to hold up the stove with holes on the side, like a tuna can; one part without holes, just to serve as a windscreen, which would improve boil time. Stove looks real neat with the smooth paint can on the outside, far superior to any other stove I've seen

@@pedroclaro7822 Thanks for the great feedback. To be honest I didn't even think of the storage aspects so that is a good consideration. I've been meaning to try and tweak the design but haven't really had the chance to play with it recently.

No problem :)

Thanks! The good thing about this type of build is that you can try again with different combinations since the materials are pretty inexpensive to experiment.

Good thing I didn't cut out the base like I had first planned then.

Not very hot from the time I started it till it burned out. Still wouldn't put it on anything like a wood top though.

Carbon steel pans. Cheap, light and durable for this type of cooking.

@@ShinyInsanity what temperature this burner can heat a pot?

@@manojkumarsubramaniam7122 I do not know the specific temperature but I did try it later with a small pot of water and it was able to boil it. It took a while to do so though.

Uma broca é melhor

Nah, too easy to DIY.

Obrigada :)

De nada Ficou chou De Bola o Fogão aí Parabéns Obrigado

It's good that you have expectations on my project 😁
