Candle powered ammo box stove

[@user-ej3fy2dy7z]

Thank you. Great.

[@bushcraftoutback]

Thanks love building camp stoves

[@billboyles7469]

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

[@leeinwis]

I also like eating chili

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 👍🙏

[@matthewwalker7024]

Great job, I love this idea.

[@bushcraftoutback]

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

Bushcraft Outback amazing build....Peace

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

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 👍🙏

[@Dracanse]

Sweet setup you deserve more views! Subscribed myself!

[@bushcraftoutback]

Thanks for the sub!

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.

[@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 👍🙏

[@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 👍

[@billb945]

Limited only by the BTU content of candle wax.

[@bushcraftoutback]

@@billb945 👍

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Each candle produces around 100 watts equivalent.

[@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 👍🙏
