With the drill method, you can control the number of air inlets st the bottom... you can pierce 3-4 air entries, plug up with wood plugs any number of them and control how fast rhe log burns
As the hole gets bigger it burns faster, I think you could slow it down by partly blocking the air intake with a stone or some clay... it would be interesting to see just how much you could stretch it.
Thanks for the demo, I'm going to try the drill method for cooking and the chainsaw for warmth and flame. There are comments of which method burns better and longer well that will depend on the type of log. I'm from the UK with plenty of birch (soft) and oak (hard). Birch for cooking , oak for a longer burn. It's all about experimenting :)
Looks like the two hole style is the clear winner for pot cooking. I'm a little skeptical of the fire starting method with it, but it's only a notion of mine until I try it myself. In any case, thanks!
Hey if you have waste cooking oil, you can just put one hole on the top of log and fill it with the oil to make a reuseable stove. The oil wil burn before the wood.
in the outback i always have a chainsaw and a fully charged drill with me👌🏻 10/10 survival skill setup thats how you would make a skandinavian log fire in the wild
Neat. I'm thinking the split version might be useful for me (with a smaller log too), but bundled together much tighter preferably avoiding any air getting through the splits, and cutting the inside piece more carefully leaving some at the base complete, then cutting a hole for the air low down into two of the sides to match up when put back together (there are other videos on how to do this). Just saves taking a drill into the woods, and you can create as near to a rocket stove as possible, with the advantages this video demonstrates for cooking, rather than a Swedish Fire Torch / Canadian Candle affair. Those look fine if you're after a bit of a warm on a cold day and less haute cuisine. So many vids like this they basically set fire to a dead tree and back away, going, "Well, that's going quite well now...". :D
2:57 pouring petrol next to a naked flame 🔥😱☠️ which also means its not really a comparison as petrol will always get more of the log hotter, quicker = quicker (and hotter) burn... but seriously never open a petrol tank let alone pour petrol next to a naked flame!
Aunque fueron buenos. hay otro mucho mas facil que yo hago. es con 6 o 7 palos amarrados. de la misma medida. Simulando un tronco igual que estas estufas y solo se pone al centro un tubo de pvc o metal de 1 pulgada en medio. (Solo para crear el hueco y luego se quita)tambien se usa un rollo de carton del pael higienico o servilleta de rollo. puedes amarr los palos con alambre o un hilo, para que esten juntos. Si no tienes nada. Hasta un vejuco o piedras en circulo o tierra alrrededor por abajo. no solo cocinaras lo que sea en una olla o freidera al principio. Pero al final. queda una cama de carbon. lista para asar lo que quieras
Gasoline is not the way to start a fire. A fire should be lit and nurchered until a nice flame is about. It sucks pouring gas then hauling ass so you don't get blown up.
i tried a new starter method. melt som old candles in a pot so the level is 3/4 of the hight of a toiletpaperroll. Put the whole paperroll in the molten wax. Than hold on to the last paper and throw the roll out the window klinging to the first paper. The roll unrolls and the wax cool immidiatly and you have about 100 firestartingpapers.
My yellow drill is ,,dead " after 3,5 years.Shorter lifetime has my yellow Big drill,and all Ryobi cordless machines has a short time life. Maybe is time ti pay more for quality?
Same thing. The invention is so old that it's impossible to tell who first came up with it. The Finnish version's english name might be finn candle or finnish candle but in finnish it's called "jätkänkynttilä" or "bloke's candle"
Nice video! Great demo... But I personally think it could've done without the music loop. Music did not match the venue. Just sayin'... I ended up muting the video about a minute in
if you put a pan straight on top the pan will block the airflow, the nails and stones create a gap so the air can flow better creating a more vigorous fire
Probably right name are jätkänkynttilä, the lumber jacks burnt them in Finland frome ages ago, and about in the 1950 when chain saws came in use, it got this form. A bigger vesion and real heat source are rakovalkea, that are lit in front of a laavu (sleeping place). Rako valkea are two loggs, lying upon each other supported by some sticks. The fire are lit betwen them..
That is not in itself a fair test as none were lit at the same time, each one was lit by a different method... Therefore as an experiment, it failed because there was no consistency between each item tested, how do you know that moisture content of the wood was consistent, that the density of the wood was the same through out, all factor in burn time as does lighting method. Petrol is an accelerator in burning, therefore that torch burnt out faster than it should have. The axe one was the method you should have used through out for consistency, using wood only as the lighting medium. The Wooden Rocket Stove, I wonder if it can boil water fast or will it take longer? Various issues with this, you should address them by another more consistent test that is robust and can provide a more balanced testing approach.
Mark Giblin you’re right that there were a few Variables that could affect the results however, I think that the drastic difference in the ultimate burn time does prove that the drill hole is more efficient, and it is pretty obvious why. There are fewer gaps for oxygen to feed the fire therefore the burn is slower. This is what ultimately determines the burn time regardless of the few variables you mentioned.
@@harrytaylor9623. This is not a competition or comparison to see which is best, it is a tutorial to show you different ways of making basically the same thing.
@krom molly Actually, having worked for a tree services department, handled plenty of them, our depot used the skill saw range. I have a lot of respect for chainsaws that I see a fuck of a lot of lack of respect or use of safety equipment. The one guy I worked with nearly lost his face when a chainsaw kicked back and cut his lower jaw off and in to his nose cavity, took surgeons 2 days to put his face back together and save his life. So fuck off with your petty shit and go do one. I currently may live in a city now... I was raised in the countryside, so fuck you with a yard stick up your jacksie sunshine.
