Candle powered ammo box stove

[@user-ej3fy2dy7z]

Thank you. Great.

[@bushcraftoutback]

Thanks love building camp stoves

[@Dracanse]

Sweet setup you deserve more views! Subscribed myself!

[@bushcraftoutback]

Thanks for the sub!

[@matthewwalker7024]

Great job, I love this idea.

[@bushcraftoutback]

Thanks so much i’m still experimenting with it 👍🙏

[@billboyles7469]

Fantastic idea when you only need to knock the chill off.

[@leeinwis]

I also like eating chili

[@timivetun531]

If you get three tall olive glass jars, you could make crisco/vegetable oil lamps might work well too.

[@bushcraftoutback]

Thanks I will give it a go 👍🙏🙏

Bushcraft Outback amazing build....Peace

@@DOCGENIUSWILSON Thanks for watching love these builds.still working the kinks out😁👍🙏

I use small oil lamps for heating. Change glass glob for a soup can and burn #1 diesel. 2 keep apt warm on mid 30 nights., and last 8 hours plus. For your application, one for not to cold days and 2 for colder days. Nice build. KZbin channel: Daniel’s Inventions similar one.

Use sprig loaded candles that they make for the candle heater It would keep the flame up near the tube for the whole burn ...And for the lid of the ammo can that you open put the closer on bottom So you can have a flat surface to warm stuff on ...Just add a piece of metal in top of the stove near the door area to keep heat at the top when door is open it keeps the heat from coming out that much when door gets opened ...Same as a real wood stove ..I am using kerosene lanters for my stove 3 of them for my cabin ...For truck use two or one ...

@@jenniferj7588 thanks for the tips.

It's interesting that the airflow limits the number of candles you can use. If you put some kind of damper or valve on the air intake, you can probably use it to control the burn rate for any size or number of candles. Nice work, Thanks!

[@bushcraftoutback]

@@kentmulter That’s an interesting idea I love to experiment. Thanks for the tip 👍🙏

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Just keep in mind that one candle = ~100 watts. A typical electric room heater is ~1,500 watts for comparison. You better be practically sitting on the box to get much out of it during cold conditions.

[@johnarrowsmith9811]

There's the UCO candle lantern, which may fit within the ammo box. A three candle lantern that advocates an output of 5,000 btu of heat; candles of which said of up to 9 hours of burn time; bee's wax optional. What's neat about this rig, is that the candles are spring loaded, and the flame more so stationary while the candles burn down. The wix, and flame in the same position at the top. Rather than the candles burn down, and the flames along with it, with a distance variance of getting wider away from the pipes. What you've devised is a pretty cool set up; I like it....Lantern modification optional, and too can be tinkered with a bit, I suspect, or just the base plate itself that holds the candles may suffice in being used.

[@bushcraftoutback]

That sounds like what I need for my setup. Thanks I will check it out 👍🙏

[@diamondmetalworks13]

I wonder if putting a damper in the exhaust pipe would allow you to capture even more heat.

[@bushcraftoutback]

@@diamondmetalworks13 not sure but I like to experiment 👍

[@thomasd9237]

Cool idea 👍👍 Volume is to low to hear you though ☹️

[@leeinwis]

Use headphones and grow up mister !

[@bobsizlak1776]

Volume is fine. I see this comment a lot on newer uploads, maybe a KZbin issue?

[@JoeSyxpack]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you want the chimney to heat up enough to draw the heavy, cold air up the bottom? If the air cools down too much by the time it reaches the top of the chimney won't it become too heavy to draw and either reduce efficiency or suffocate the flames completely? A problem that will just get worse the colder it gets outside? (When you need the heat the most) Otherwise I do like this concept and I'm considering it for an outhouse as a cheap way to keep the small space reasonably warm in the dead of winter without having to sacrifice leg hairs to a Little Buddy.

[@bushcraftoutback]

You are correct. I am still working the kinks out and spending time experimenting with different types of fuel. Thanks for watching 👍🙏

[@billb945]

Limited only by the BTU content of candle wax.

[@bushcraftoutback]

@@billb945 👍

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Each candle produces around 100 watts equivalent.

[@mauriceupp9381]

The video that I saw the man took a jar and made a multiple wick oil lamp which kept the flames at a certain distance from The heat pipe and burned for a long time

[@bushcraftoutback]

@@mauriceupp9381 thanks for the tip I will try it 👍

[@thomasfletcher760]

🤔

[@texastony74]

that's not enough btu's to heat a shoebox...lol

[@bushcraftoutback]

It’s still work in progress still experimenting with candle sizes . Thanks for watching 👍🙏

[@rosswoolley2854]

Kerosene, jam jar and a wick will last all night.

[@bushcraftoutback]

Thanks for the tip. I will give it a go 👍🙏
