One thing... Do *NOT* pour off the "excess." Keep as much wax as will fit into your new "stove" (large fire starter, tent heater, etc.). The more wax you pour back out, the faster the burn and shorter the life of the "stove." I've made a *bunch* of these (sans this type top grid), can portion, only as additions to survival kits, car emergency kits, back packs, etc.. They're great for everything from starting a larger fire and putting it out for next time to cooking to warming a small tent as they give off a lot of heat/light and burn very hot yet last a *very* long time, especially if you just use them for short periods at a stretch. It just takes a little patience to strip down the cardboard and slowly fill the container with wax, letting the bubbles escape until it's filled solid. Trust me... I have them in car road kits, light survival packages, etc.. They're cheap & easy to make and take about as much room as a can of chewing tobacco (or... Tuna fish!) 😉 It's keeping as much wax in there as possible that's the secret. That burns as well but lasts *much* longer than just the wax soaked cardboard, that's key. You want as much fuel in there, as possible. The cardboard just helps an easier start and even burn across the surface while generating more heat than just trying to light the wax, itself, like a giant wick. They'll work with the little folding, Sterno style stoves (which pack flat) but last way longer or, just a piece of uncoated, stainless, wire mesh and a couple of rocks/sticks, etc. to hold the screen that can be easily kept in a light pack or even a pocket, you're glove box or wherever. The windscreen works great and can be flattened out for storage, as well. Just ruff up the top surface of the cardboard with a sharp edge to create a little wax-soaked "fuzz" on the exposed surface, maybe rub a little piece of cotton (ball, scraped lint from cotton socks/shirt, etc.) and drop some sparks on it. Presto. 😊 But, whatever you do and with no disrespect intended, do not pour off any of the wax. Soak in as much as is possible. It will work as well but, for a lot longer, promise. 😉

@@ronheydon117 You're welcome, it was meant with best Intentions as I've made dozens of these, tried several different methods and a full cup with the top "fluffed up" with a knife, etc. is the most efficient, though it does take more wax. But the extra life and even burn makes it worth it. 😀 I'm glad to see people trying/making this kind of stuff because it's so effective and all it costs is some used cardboard and tin and any kind of old candles you can find, it doesn't have to be Gulf paraffin as a necessity. I built my first one after emptying a tuna can and had an epiphany. 😆 I grabbed an old, wilting taper (thin candles you put in a candle stick on a dinner table), ripped a piece of cardboard off a box in the recycle bin and Presto. I knew that I must not have been the first to come up with the idea, it was too good. 😆 I tried several different combos and methods (types of wax, how much wax, how full, etc. just to satisfy my overactive, scientific mind (and I was bored out of my tree after an injury) and the full can (use a chicken can for a larger unit) with any candle wax you have was the trick. The paraffin does seem to be sliiiightly better but not so much that you *need* to go buy some. We're all here to share and help and improve each other and that was my only intent. Have a great one and keep it up!

⁠@@escapetherace1943try a pettet/BB tin, it has a metal lid to snuff out fire & it will screw on once cool, slip into ziplock bag & add extra fuel/tea lights/crayons/old birthday candles to zip lock bag too. You can refuel while fire is lit by placing chunk of wax on to fire.. takes practice & trial & error to figure out but easy to do. ( crayon wax will clog cardboard if you keep adding it with out normal wax in the mix.) A almond tin is also good, keep the aluminum seal for snuffing & once cool place plastic lid over tin. Any tin with approximate diameter of tuna can will burn at *approximately* the same rate. One tea light candle that burns for a hour with one tiny wick will only last *approximately* 15 minutes in hobo stove. A small pellet tin will hold 3 tea lights & burn for about 45 minutes. But you can add a chunk of wax every 15 minutes to keep fire going indefinitely, don’t over fill cuz fire will not be as big …you gotta phuck around to find out the happy medium! Best FREE starter car kit imo- A coffee can with lid & a hobo stove. You now have one way to cook/boil water… next up -the coffee can , should hold 3 alternative ways to make a fire & purify water! Add another empty plastic bottle that will fit into coffee can( I like big plastic vitamin jar) pack it with more gear & use it to hold clean water in survival. coffee can should hold dirty water till boiled-then transfer to clean container 🫙… A Coffee can is a stove in itself , just KZbin coffee can stove or hobo stove for hundreds of modifications! ✌️🤟🤙

@@karenandcatz2915 real "tin" isn't and hasn't been used for cans now for a long time. When it is used, it is pretty rare. Almost all cans are aluminum now or an aluminum alloy of varying gauge. Regardless a hobo stove doesn't remotely become hot enough to melt aluminum, even if you made it from a soda can it would be fine. Aluminum melts at 1200 degrees and while actual regular fires can exceed that, it is in their centermost point, and a can is too small for it to ever be near that. Most likely 600 degrees and 800 at the extreme highest.

When I started going camping in Boy Scouts my Mom showed me how to make a great stove set up. Got a big tuna fish can. One of those 3 cans in one size. Put 4 pieces of 1/4 inch rope into the card board. 1 in the center.The other 3 go near the outside edge in a trip angle. Now you have the amount of heat you need. Get a #10 coffee can. Using a piercing type can opener make a few (4 or 5) holes on the tube section just below the sealed end. I used a log the size of the open end to make a few air intake holes. Starting 1/2 inch from the open rim space the holes about 1/2 inch apart going til you get past the height of the can. I think I put 6 rows in mine. Light the stove. Using cooking oil you can fry eggs,burgers,etc...on the top of the can. I eventually made a grate from a piece of expanded metal. Just used a vise to bend a rectangle to the size I needed. I f it's raining,snowing,etc ... These are really handy. My Scout Master was an ex Marine DI at Parris Island. Big smile when I told him my Mom told me how to make this. These became parts of our "possible" bags.

The next time half of the company carried a can of fish.

I have made these for fifty years! They burn super clean and last a lot longer than people would think! I keep a couple in 1 gallon tin buckets at home for emergency light and heat. Paraffin can be hard to find at times but you can normally find in the canning section of most stores. I don't bother with the cooking grid there is always something you can find handy for that. You can pretty much do the same with any flammable liquid by filling the can with sand dirt or anything neon flammable and saturating it with said liquid. It won't burn clean and will have odors unless you are using Alcohol, or acetone. I keep a gallon can of denatured alcohol around for emergencies also. Paraffin and alcohol are the safest since they have a very low CO2 content!

Cool I remember these from 1968.. Boy Scouts.. Yeah, Keep the excess wax in it. Lasts longer. Also, While you have the melted wax available... Roll up (to the size you want) some paper towels. Then dip them (soaked) into the wax. These make fabulous, cheap fire starters. After the wax cools off completely, you can cut the finished product to the length you want to use. I usually make mine twice as thick as a good cigar. Carry them in your various kits.. Survival Camping Car Edc etc.

Haven't done this since I was homeless. You can substitute the dollar tree tongs and the home depot saw/grinder for a combination of sticks and dirt as your tools AND appliances. Literally. Dig a hole in the ground that fits the size of your can. You can use sticks, rocks, your hands, whatever. Make sure the hole is wide enough to fit your can, but deep enough to act as a 'stove eye'. Last step is to aerate your ground hole so that when you put your pot on, it doesn't just extinguish the fire. Find a decently long, mostly straight stick and penetrate a small 'tube' hole from one side going to your main stove hole. Do the same to the other side. Finally, light your can, stick it in the hole, and get to cookin! This way, all you need is: Can - 1-2$ Cardboard - Free if you know where to look ;) Unscented Wax Candle - 1-2$ Dirt - FREE Sticks - FREE Pot - 3-5$ and a way to light your cardboard sternos! - Lighter? 1-3$ ALL for a maximum of $12. No workshop needed!

Then you can use some rocks that are taller than the can to surround the can with, and place your pot on top of the rocks.

We made the burner part like he did, minus the stupid cross thing, we used a larger can (think metal coffee can) that a 2*2 square was removed from the open end on the side as an oxygen window (keep the plastic top) smear some liquid soap all over inside the big can, it makes an easy job of cleaning the soot off with water when you're done cooking, when you lite your burner you turn the big can upside down over your burner (flat bottom side up) you can then use a pan on it, or a small pot, cover it with some foil and cook right on the surface for one burger or eggs ect. When you're done cooking take the flat surface of your big can upside down and place it right on the burner to snuff it out. Take your large can wash it out, real easy if you have soaped it. Then once your burner is cool enough to handle, everything fits in the bigger can, your lighter/matches, small bottle of soap, burner, tin foil squares we used to put on toilet paper rolls in a Ziploc bag, extra square of wax, your fork, knife and spoon put the lid back on and it's altogether.

I bought the tongs at a thrift store for about 5 cents , and I have already been using the “ tuna can / wax “ burners for awhile , now I just need to put it all together . I will probably use folded aluminum foil for the wind screen … Another modification to keep the wax from melting all over your pack on a really hot day ( in addition to putting it into a small plastic bag ) is to cut the top of the tuna can off with the an “ outside of the top cutting can opener “ so that you may use the top of the can for a lid . I always carry a little bit of black vinyl electrical tape wrapped around my flashlight anyway , so I just tightly circle the top of the can with the “lid” on , with the tape , and everything is , water (and wax) tight , sealed . I really like the pot holder set up made out of the tongs .Great Idea !

We made these at 4H camp back in the late 90’s or early 00’s they were so much fun to make Although I believe we put a coffee can wit a hole in the side over them (back when the big ones were still metal)

Thank you. I I've been contemplating this idea of how to do that. Because I live in a tent at the moment. Here in Canada its the middle of winter rn propane is better used to keep you warm rather than cooking with so what I do is I. buy those heat in a can or emergency fuel cells. But I really like this idea so thank you. 👍

Yep, I used these as part of my winter survival kit in the car. I put it inside an upside down coffee tin with a section cut in the bottom and small can opener holes around the top rim for air flow. The bottom of the coffee tin functioned as my stove/frying pan to cook on. The wax did have a tendency to smoke though. Other than that it worked like a damn.

Seams like a fun weekend project. I still like my qt can with toilet paper and isopropyl alcohol though. The reusable lid makes it nice. But I like the way you made your grill, so I might have to make one for the paint can.

@@commonconservative7551 Oh, I am super careful when making them. The hobo stove can is right next to the double boiler on the stove about 8 inches away, so it doesn't have far to go into the hobo stove. Then I leave it to cool and set and I don't move it till it is set. I usually do 2 of them at a time and I never have much wax in the pot, because I am usually melting down a bunch of spent tea lights with leftover wax in them, because the wicks inevitably burn our before all the wax is used. lol. So I typically only ever have enough wax for one or two. About 2 inches of wax in the pot, maximum.

You can keep on refueling these too! Make then out of tealight candles. Need to add half a broken tealight in every 5 min and no less, and a whole pack of 24 tealight can burn for 6 hours. Vey enjoyable. Need some kind of clay terracotta pot under it to catch any wax that drips out however. It can get very messy if you store it in your pack so have a lid and bag. Lid to put out the fire then wait till it cools since the wax is liquid for a few minutes after extinguishing. Do not pour water or soda on it since it explodes after hitting the wax. It gives off very minimal heat but alot of light. Refueling lets these be perfect mobile campfires for smoking a joint at/chilling since you dont have to gather wood or risk making a big fire with ashes embers etc this just burns very self contained in the fire can and no risk of setting the ground on fire or leaving hot embers etc. Very safe especially for fires in places you want to sit at and dont want to bring sticks with you. Bring small chunks of wax from a large candle and you can burn this for hours and hours and never need to stand up to gather fire wood.
