We start off looking at the ugliest hobo stove on the planet and then break out 4 of my beauties! Of the 4 stoves there are 3 of my favorite styles represented, the #10 bean can stove, the poor man's hobo stove, and the copper bottomed, stainless steel, Revere Ware stove. Come see how beautiful they are in form, function, and fire. Please follow the LINKs below and SUBSCRIBE. Thank You! Hobo Stove Builds Playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLkoXX8XsMW3lZeJRY3SSyPsZBTEWCnHbp
Great Video,,,, Seeing how One small Spark, on the punk wood, can create such a Strong ember,,, Kinda Opens Your eyes on how Easy a Forest Fire can Start,,,, Smoky the Bear wasn’t Overreacting at all,,,
I made a hobo stove from a charcoal starter I put small expanded metal in the bottom to keep wood from falling out and cut a closing door on the side for a feed hole
David, that was exactly the style of charcoal burner I was telling you about before. I don’t have availability to the tins you use, nor the tools… (I’m a 61yo lady 🥴), but the way I have adapted the charcoal burner works very very well for me. I now use 2, and cook my entire meal on them. (And light them using my own made charcloth too).
It is 100 time better be obsessed with cans, and fire then be a mad politician your can a less harmful. My obsession is light and heat. I wish you WELL.
I can’t remember if you ever used a piece of char cloth in a cotton ball to fire roll. Does that work too? Seeing how rust or wood ash works so well was a mind blower. That new SS hobo stove is gonna stunt yer growth for new stove ideas. Always fun to see you playing. 👍
LOL! I like the look of the #10 bean can stove better. See this fire roll video... I've Been Told For Years That Char Cloth Will Fire Roll... Boy Howdy!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-glGcy_pwbFE.html
Love your content. It has allowed me to spark an interest (no pun intended) in my granddaughter. So far tea and hotdogs done on a hobo stove lol. Would high temp paint help longevity or is temp of stove too high? Thanks
I like your hobo stove. But I do have a charcoal starter and I put a price of hardware cloth in the in the bottom which is like 8th of an inch square hols so the ash can fall through. It is a good alternative to your hobo stove. If someone can't make one they can adapt that for a stove in an emergency. I do have 2 number 10 cans set aside for this.
There are lots of crafts that can make this stove by following my tutorials. People that can't make these stoves should ask their friends and family that happen to be in these crafts to make it for them... welders, pipe fitters, metal fabricators, steel workers, industrial electricians, HVAC guys, plumbers, auto mechanics, millwrights, sprinkler contractors, etc.
Awesome video! Crazy how smoke does that! Always follows me around too. Man I was waiting for the "weeeeeelllllll see ya on the next one" Keep after it Dave!
I’ve watched Lonnie from Far North Bushcraft and Survival do it with rocks he found along a trail. Same for the guy on Northwest Primate. Just rocks and natural birds nest materials from the surroundings. Interesting stuff.
Nice to see the different designs and materials! And all the ways of starting a fire! You're a fire guru!! No, you're THE fire guru! 😀. Blessings to you and your family as we remember the reason we celebrate Easter!
Have you ever made a gasifier stove similar to a Solo Stove? They burn really great. There are videos and I have made one my self out of a quart paint can and an progresso soup can.
I like number 4 the best for car camping, 2 and 3 could be either car camping or backpack due to low weight. Nr 1 would work for backpacking on your own.
I have used a chimney starter as both a hobo stove and a sear station when grilling steaks... It runs HOT !!! I have to either use charcoal or larger wood chunks, as the bottom is wide open and draws in so much air that the burn is insanely fast as well. Good for some things, not so much for others. I mostly use my own homemade hobo stoves, which I prefer by far. It's true, there really is something to be said for cooking and grilling with equipment made by your own hands, a sense of both pride and accomplishment. Keep up the great work with your videos, David - I thoroughly enjoy them all !
