Ammo Can Rocket Stove! - Welding A Portable Camping Stove

This compact portable rocket stove is probably my favorite tig welding project so far. Building it into the ammo can allows it to pack up nicely, gives it a built in handle, and cooks great!

When the yolk broke, so did I.

[@JustVoss]

Me too 😔

[@geniuspharmacist]

The rocket stove produces too much heat for frying a single egg.

[@TheWolfsnack]

...eggzactly.....

[@dorarolfzen4132]

Use less wood for control heat.

[@mrdrenalin69]

Ruined it.

[@K0MBIAN]

You Sir, are a rare breed. An American that converts measurements to Metric. Great video!

[@JustVoss]

Thanks 👍

[@PassifloraCerulea]

Congratulations, you're officially the best welder I've seen on youtube 👍

[@joshuawalls]

Those welds look so good i'd date them

[@ChirishOD]

Hes definitively a very good faber

[@OlympicOverland]

Great job! Such a cool compact heat source and cook stove. This would be perfect for most of my off-road truck camping needs. Thanks! 👍

[@dannyberg4294]

Is it just me or does he seem like probably the most genuine nice dude you’d ever meet? 😂 love the videos man, keep ‘em coming!

[@JustVoss]

Hey thanks man, kind of you to say.

[@alaricsnellpym]

Yeah, definite honest-guy vibes! :-)

[@customhaines2510]

I was going to make a comment about legs and getting it up off the ground, but you covered that in an earlier response about the insulation. Good job.

[@andrewb1986]

Not even gonna lie - I was judging at first. Now I need to get me one of those. That's pretty legit. I really feel like that actually reduces the amount of fuel required to cook.

[@davej652]

That is an awesome project. I like how you show your mistakes and just fix them. Other channels don't do that and make it look like a perfect job from start to finish. Great work.

[@daphneraven6745]

That’s a pretty sweet work there Mr. Voss!! I was actually looking for tutorial on a hot tent stove from an ammo box, but this was very well worth the time to watch. Thank you very kindly. Your videos sure have a good feel to them, like hanging out in the shop working on a project with the buddy.

[@nekotherion7317]

Should make the pan holder prongs removable, and have the end of the pipe capable of fitting a flu pipe, so that way, if you need to heat a tent, or something else you can :)

[@jbkhan1135]

That's a great idea!

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

Yes...

[@GD-mw1kd]

Ammo box is insulated, makes it less effective for heating the surroundings. Idea of multipurpose is good though.

[@akbychoice]

Stack robber heat extractor.

[@ManCrafting]

Love this take on a Ammo can rocket stove. I’m a little obsessed with them myself and have built a few so of course I watched this beginning to end. Great job as always Justin.

[@JustVoss]

Thanks! Am pretty happy with how it turned out.

[@PrimevalAO]

LOVE the build and have no complaints at all (ignore the fact I'm not a welder)! And I'm very thankful that you are providing the patterns for your subscribers! The only concern I had was with the lid still attached when in use. With that heat near the rubber seal and the opportunity of being a trip hazard. Again awesome job and a great stove especially if in an open fire ban area.

[@mr.matthews67]

I like that you insulated it. Nice!

[@louisevangelista9578]

Just stumbled upon this video and I've gotta say that the level of craftsmanship you put into this project is absolutely unbelievable (and almost to the point of being comical)

[@JohnSnow-rl2vg]

Hey man, thank you for that amazing video, I enjoyed it so much watching you work on it, your skills are amazing! And a special thanks for the metric measurements.

[@DonaldRogersBaldEagle]

Nice beading with the TIG welder. Thanks for the video.

[@Strangernightg]

That's the best rocket stove I've ever seen . And it's the best invention yet all because you didn't tamper with the lid . Two thumbs up for you , outstanding .

[@JohnTCampbell1986]

As a brit I just wanna shout out my appreciation for MM dimensions. You the man 👊

[@JustVoss]

No problem I got you!

[@Xoro-rbk]

Man! You're like picasso on the welds. Beautiful welds out there, clean and consistent.

Great to see Your video again ! I never get tired of em ! Isee You learned the secret ( to non stick stainless steel pan ) too . Looks like another job well done !!

[@luke-te3sr]

I'm a welder and this is being build today. I purchased a bunch of ammo cans to put in my bed rack on my overland.. this will 100% be part of my ammo can truck gear. I currently keep tire chains and strap and all that in them. This will be a perfect addition to the truck

[@thekarmafarmer608]

Absolutely epic. One of the nicest weld projects I`ve seen. Awesome vid, thanks for posting. Pete

[@JustVoss]

Hey thanks Pete!

[@thekarmafarmer608]

@@JustVoss It`s a great idea, designed and executed skilfully and, presented in a pleasing, clear way. It`s inspiring and, what KZbin was designed for. Well done. Keep `em coming please! : )

I loved the entire video, except the thought of you eating that egg without using salt and pepper! LOL awesome build, I could see that getting lots of use.

I put that on after! And then ate it with my fingers haha

Nice Welds!

[@duggydugg3937]

neat set up

[@Sparkystacoma]

I've been using the scotch roloc's for awhile from empire and they're great. I got them in 2", 3" And 4.5" for the angle grinder. Also they have a mirror kit, it's a polishing kit to make metal polish like well a mirror!

[@samuel97ful]

This is sick

[@misterjoejoet1954]

That super and great I can't wait to see your next video to show how it works , and don't forget to remind your friends to remove the lid

[@DialMforDavid]

Hi Justin. Have never welded a thing in my life but always enjoy your videos. Thanks for the great content.

[@JustVoss]

That’s great to hear! I do plan on branching out in the future and do more projects that aren’t only focused on welding.

[@Surberjm]

Never too late to start

[@daved2143]

That is really cool great idea👍👍👍👍👍

My favorite rocket stove!! The best I’ve seen in years wowow

Awesome video. Oddly enough I have been working on an Ammo Box stove for a friend of mine, so this video couldn't have come out at a better time.

[@JustVoss]

Nice! Let me know how it turns out!

[@carlosgermansanchezlizarra9629]

EXCELENTE VOSS GRACIAS

[@timothyedmiston8756]

Now that was cool

[@unit12r97]

Very pretty welds. They make me all happy as someone who likes that kinda thing.

[@Buzzhumma]

Its cool for sure ! I have been making different rocket stove for more than a decade and this version i feel ticks enough boxes. I would like to see a similar design but only using the ammo can to store the rocket stove that way it could be modular and bigger with higher chimney stack if needed. Nice work there bro.

[@sjagain]

That defeats the purpose of the can. Anything can be used to store the components if that's the case...Even something much lighter than an ammo can.

[@cosmicbrambleclawv2]

Just the start of the video had me subbed 😂 it looks like it's gonna be a really interesting vid and you have a good/pleasant KZbin personality/voice

[@andrewnorwood3288]

Sweet! Inspired!!!

[@Lavasioth]

The manliest part of this project wasnt the 50 cal ammo box, or the welding, or the rocket stove. It was cooking an egg in a stainless steel pan. Absolute chad move.

[@JustVoss]

hahaha

[@jeremiahjarvis8120]

Awesome job WOW 👍

[@brianstout4362]

Your skills are unsurpassed brother!

[@geraldgraham9112]

Super awesome

[@tinman7159]

Nice work , good welding and fab skill sets ... !!!

[@JustVoss]

Thanks!

[@MarcOppelt]

You have got to get a Steel Demon skillsaw blade. Definitely my new favorite fab tool. Cuts thru steel like a regular carbide blade cuts aluminum. $30 at Depot for a 7-1/4" blade. But mask up...this thing flings some shrapnel! The heat goes into the chips and the steel is NOT HOT after you cut it.

[@Keith80027]

Very interesting build, you did a great job.

[@abduldost1998]

Wonderful job very enjoyable.

[@justc7682]

Nice welding good job turning nouthing into great stove

[@danieljones317]

I am making a mini wood burner stove for heat in my little shed. I'm going to make it removable so I can take it out and use it as a stove or grill during warm months. Figuring out the different stacks was the biggest hurdle, but it should fill the bill quite handily.

[@ZuroX92]

instead of welding it to the sides that will transfer some heat. you could have used refractory cement and just weld some of that stampedmetal to the side of the burner and to the sides of the can. That way the cement have something to grip and hold on to but you dont have the burner and can directly connected and you wouldent have that heat transfer. I will be heavier tho but thats a trade off. Btw thank you from the rest of the world that dont use imperial. Thats really nice of you to give us the metric measurements, dont see many people on youtube do that.

[@hicountrytm]

Cool I'm going to use this to build me one thanks

[@jinhongjung414]

Watching you weld was satisfying

[@frijoli9579]

Been doing machining, welding and engineering my whole career. This video made me subscribe. Don't have the tools? Just do it 'til it's done.

[@westernwanderer8397]

There's something so satisfying about making pretty welds. Nice work. I'd like to say I'll make one, but I don't have a decent welder so, I'd buy one!

The most beautiful rocket stove i have ever seen my respect to you and now i have a new project to think about greetings from Belgium Oli

[@OweN-hu6uy]

awesome skills...so jealous of your shop and tools

[@randomodbuild]

Rocket stoves are great, but have you heard of TLUD stoves? They are a type of wood gasifier, a "forgotten" technology that heats up wood so it releases gas, which is then burnt. The result is heat from the burning "wood gas" and biochar, which can be used to start it next time, or for any other purpose involving charcoal. This ammo can build looks awesome though! I have even heard of people burying the biochar to A: prevent CO2 from entering the atmosphere (it would if the wood was normally set to rot) and B to fertilize the soil.

[@robertr4193]

Impressive welds Sir.

[@ljaysperspective1775]

Dam! This is sweet. Ur channel popped up and I'm glade i watched. You took a good idea and made it better and more compact, within it's own carry case. Awesome ! Nicely done👍
