Dollar Tree Emergency Cooking with Fancy Heat - Emergency Cooking Solutions Tips Tricks Hacks

[@javiermancheno8531]

Intelligent approach to outages due to storms ! Many thanks ! Okay ?

[@AC-kk3vo]

Thank you for saying ( always cook with lid on ) I'm using fancy heat this weekend for camping, that will definitely help me heat my water .

[@christenewaldon961]

I have a whole case of these and this video helped me so much thank you ❤

[@stevec3872]

I recently found I had 3 cases of these that I had stashed away for Y2K prep which means they were over 20 years old. They looked like new but I had to use a pliers to get the lids off. I had a stock pot and found that 5 of these would fit in the bottom and put out a lot of heat when lit but the flames did not come close to reaching the top. All could be put out at once by just putting the lid on the pot. I'm sure that just a grill to put on top would make it easy to use to cook upon.

[@AlaskaGranny]

Nice to know they lasted so long, probably because they are in a can. Y2K, the good old days, prepping for months, and nothing happened. Thank you, Lord. We threw open the cupboard and ate our way through the food. I had red Valentine candles bought on sale for 10 cents that I used for romantic dinners for 15 years!

[@weatherstorms]

Save the cans so they can be refilled. Denatured alcohol is clean, and leaves not soot. You'll have alcohol burners if you keep refilling them. :)

[@AlaskaGranny]

Great tip.

[@buddycarroll9641]

Hoe do you refill them?

[@buddycarroll9641]

HOW do you refill them?

[@STho205]

You can carefully pop the wick platecap off...however I would drill a ring of little holes around the wick, and one bigger one without removing the cap. You can fill it slowly in under a minute a little at a time. The ring of holes will bloom like a $50 backpacker alch stove will. You'll get a hotter flame too. Boil a cuppa in 5 minutes You can reseal it if fuel remains. A 1" pot stand of metal flashing with holes can be cut that will fit on the outside of your can for storage.

I use these during the holidays to keep the water in my buffet pans hot to keep the food warm....yes the water does get hot enough to boi...been scalded many a day!

[@timothyaguilar7727]

I went Back To View Your Video! Loved it! Thanks California Great Granpa to Alaska Granny 👍

[@AlaskaGranny]

Thanks for watching my video, and taking the time to share your thoughts.

[@larrytam2662]

Good video! Was wondering if you got the water to actually boil. If so, how long did it take? Thanks!

[@dansw0rkshop]

It took me about 8 minutes to boil a cup on one of these.

[@cynthiamoon372]

Those little can heaters can be refilled with alcohol. Use a syringe to inject through the wick. Or drill a small hole near the wick, squirt in the alcohol, then close the hole with a small sheet metal screw. Of course all this is done when the can is cool and the wick is not burning ... obviously. There is no problem with alcohol mixing with dimethyl glycol. Heet (yellow bottle) is probably the best choice for alcohol.

[@AlaskaGranny]

Interesting tips, thanks.

[@BrokenCrushedby]

Thankyou I was curious of the gelfeul

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Bricks & grill a great idea for a quick cook surface.

[@AlaskaGranny]

Thanks for watching.

[@emilycs8823]

As a part of my plans I like chafing fuel for simmering to save my more limited butane fuel for boiling water. Its also safer to store and use chafing fuel indoors since it is made for this.

[@AlaskaGranny]

Look for the little cans at Dollar Tree.

[@B.Moore-Ready]

Very informative 👍

[@AlaskaGranny]

Glad you think so!

[@BrokenCrushedby]

I don't trust microwave doesn't leak anyways.. never have & born in 80s lol microwave the main thing I never trusted all my life. Thankyou for taking time out of your day to make this informative video you are appreciated

[@steeltalon105]

Thanks for the video, good information! Definitely sharing this.

[@AlaskaGranny]

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you, Alaska Granny! I am Alabama Great Grandpa! 2 Questions: Is your boiling pot a re-purposed grease pot? How long didit take to get a rolling boil? Thanks & may God bless you1

[@TRADERSFRIEND]

This looks like it would be great in a make shift aluminum stove

[@AlaskaGranny]

Yes, it would.

[@RJ-ek7ov]

They sell sterno stoves on Amazon.

[@ravendon]

Wonderful tips.

Glad you found my video helpful, Ravendon.

ALASKA GRANNY!! You’ve been on KZbin and been a prepper for 8 years?!?

Smart and Final 12 Sternos $6.99

[@AlaskaGranny]

Nice find. Too bad we don't all have that store!

[@RedfishInc]

As an alcohol burner it has no more carbon monoxide threat than any alcohol or oil lamp.

[@coppertopvon]

I just saw another video that days you can refill these cans with 70% rubbing alcohol...have you heard /tried that?

[@AlaskaGranny]

I have read that, not sure these days if another can is cheaper than the alcohol!

[@coppertopvon]

@@AlaskaGranny if you can refill 3-4 times for approx. $1 think it definitely an option...

[@nealcortez5332]

hello! so the snuffing device is the cap??? we can use that to put out fire correct?

[@AlaskaGranny]

Yes, I used the cap to snuff it out. You need to smother the flame. I like the Fancy Heat and have been stockpiling it from the Dollar Tree. Check out more of my videos at my website. www.alaskagranny.com/everyday-preps/ Thanks for watching.

[@jeanene72]

What exactly is this fuel? It says "alcohol based" in the description. But is it iso or denatured Alcohol? Ethanol? or something else?

[@dutchtea8354]

Could these be used inside an unplugged toaster oven?

[@jenniferpetrellicarslearni2265]

I think that's very dangerous

[@dutchtea8354]

@@jenniferpetrellicarslearni2265 Even with the oven door left ajar for ventilation?

[@jenniferpetrellicarslearni2265]

@@dutchtea8354 Well it's just my opinion but I think it could start a fire. Please be careful and safe.

[@jenniferpetrellicarslearni2265]

​@@dutchtea8354I definitely think it did start a fire in a toaster oven. I would strongly advise against it.

[@annettedupras3493]

Does it cause carbon monoxide

[@DaliwolfBacon]

What is the fuel made of? Alcohol?

[@jeshala]

Hey, when the world explodes, Eric and I will find you and donate our skills. I mean if you need plants identified, man, I can do this thing :P

[@DaliwolfBacon]

Leigh Timper Word!

[@AlaskaGranny]

The label says it is DEG, which is Diethylene glycol. It splashes around like alcohol, and has a wick for burning. Sterno is a gel and doesn't make any splashing sounds or have a wick. I figured the price is right for another cooking or heating option in an emergency, or keeping foods warm at a cookout.

[@AlaskaGranny]

Hopefully, the world will be fine, and we can all enjoy the skills we are learning. I studied field botany in university and still managed to back my daughter into poison oak while teaching her to pee in the woods at age 3. So, yes, I think I may need your help!!!!! Thanks for watching my videos.

[@buddycarroll9641]

Can says 3 hours....Just say'n.

[@theheist5]

should always plan on stuff not lasting as long as it says. if you manage your expectations, you won't be disappointed.
