This is exactly what I was looking for with an alcohol stove pot stand. Some people have overly complicated designs and this is just perfect. Thanks for sharing this!

[@newageselfreliance]

I like that it can fold flat. Being small and flat it should fit anywhere your alcohol burner can go.

[@outwestjake]

Such a simple design. I love these videos. Thank you again Jiujitsu2000! I hope you and your family are staying safe and doing well!

[@281covfefe5]

👍🏻🇺🇸 That 1in sweet spot is awesome

[@Occupuyourspine]

🤠 I just made one it is too windy to test it here now I see a lot of stands will fit certain sizes but not other s this will adjust to any size pot I sure like it.

[@chiefkirk]

That's awesome brother. Been looking around for something to use. Never dawned on me to make that. Simple, cheap and effective. Thumbs up pal. God Bless

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

I like your idea. It’s easy to make, it’s super light and doesn’t cost a lot. You practically have all those items in your household. Thanks for sharing.

[@JennyOnMyspace]

Thanks, guy, I made the vienna stove and the pot stand tonight with my grandson. It was another good memory! We cooked on it and will put it away for camping.

[@GinaKayLandis]

What's the difference between this stove and a Vienna stove? I mean, I will watch the video but I saw the penny alcohol stove video before...

[@ladychicfashion1961]

Hello Mr. JuiJit, I discovered your channel today. Thank you showing how to make a Vienna stove, stand and fuel sources. This info is important to know for life saving reasons. Everyone needs to know how to boiling water, cooking, and using household budget budget friendly things for an emergency or for camping, etc. It was also a lot of fun watching. You made a new subscriber out of me!😀👍

[@jiujitsu2000]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support that you get my channel welcome... please feel free to look around and tell a friend... I have well over 1500 videos! blessings from Arizona!

Just found your channel and really love the content man 👍👍👍

[@AquaTech225]

Another idea that will work for anyone doing it recently is. Go to home depot. Where the rope,wire,chain is. An pick up a 2-3 pack of them aluminium cable eye crimps. That’s made for different thickness cables. That you pass the cable through than tuck the cable tale back into an crimp to make an eye on it. Stick each pot leg in that little aluminium crimp an maybe give it a small smash down so each one stays on the legs.

Thanks for the quick tip! Just made one and fits in my kit perfectly :)

[@debrademers6778]

Just watched your video on how to make a pot stand for an alcohol stove. Thanks. Very informative and easy. Got a very small inprovement for you. They sell tiny little binder clips. You could use one or two of those to hold the loose end together. Thanks again for a great video.

Nice little life hack there brother. Keep up the good work.

[@youtubetears8732]

I agree

[@ulnoohiker8983]

Awesome

[@firemanbob96]

Thank you so much for this. I will be making some of these. The only thing I would have added in the video would be the bending of the wire, but most people can probably figure that out for themselves. Thanks again!

Hi, why not use a piece round tube steel, that snug fit and put all the wires in and done 🤗

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Great tip! Very simple n EZ to remember!

[@CliffordStarks1]

Nice brother love your creativity!👍

[@matthewshannon6946]

Nice one, man- thanks!

[@MrFmiller]

I've made those before. One thing to note is outside is often windy. The stove needs to be sheltered by a wind break. otherwise excessive fuel will be consumed. Alternatively I settled on a piece of rolled up thin aluminum flashing tall enough so that a pot will sit in it over a burner with an inch separation plus at least a couple of inches. A couple of pieces of a wire coat hanger through holes will hold a pot or pan. A gap of about an inch around the pan allows the heat to hug the pot and increase the area being heated. The diameter of the shield should be less than the pot resulting in a gap, allowing air flow. In my testing I found it heated 50% faster and used 30% less fuel. The weight is slightly more but the savings in the weight of fuel makes up for it. It also works for twig fires.

"Very easy process, dont overthink it" just about thought you were going to say dont nuke it lol. Good lil easy support for sure

[@AOKUrbanHomestead1]

Very cool. Thanks brother

[@mightyseagoat6874]

Wow.... I loooved your video . Your stove seems to be almost half the height of a regular soda can ... normally other stoves are more shorter like 1/3 of the can. Does it has another effect on the stove's performance ...I mean , being taller. I will try making my stove with ARIZONA cans (ARIZONA is a brand with longer and wider cans, though they may not be available in some countries) my idea is that it may be more stable and last longer

[@EARTHLING74000]

clever a+

[@weatherstorms]

You can also put pots directly on the penny stove. That works too. :)

[@ronschreiber3635]

eazy pot holder .can ya tell me what type Stanley Pot your using ? thanks another great video

[@SportStream2015]

in serbia for 1eur will buy High Rack from halogen oven this is very good stand.

[@GinaKayLandis]

This is great, would have been super helpful during our time of the big ol' tornado outbreak in SW Ohio a few years ago. However for camping, how do you suggest transporting such a stove? Use up the fuel prior to going to the camp site so it doesn't leak? Anyway I'm going to make one to three of these! Would be helpful in several situations for sure. I wonder too if there's a way to put a handle of sorts on the lid to put out the fire. Hmm!

[@cameronshaw599]

Carry a small fuel bottle. Put in only enough alcohol to boil the quantity of water you need at the moment, and then you can do one of two things: let the stove burn completely out, leaving the stove dry *or* extinguish the stove by covering it, let it cool, and then pour any excess cool fuel back into your fuel bottle.

[@marlonespinaldelrio8703]

I am wondering how long timewise does the fuel in the Arizona can penny alcohol last?.

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good ideal

[@meh2b2]

If you were to make one of these for the Vienna Stove how tall would you make if. One inch above the Vienna can to one inch above the Tom Sauce can?

[@mgcreed]

I watched this early this morning and thought I remembered everything. Wasted one coat hanger. Made 3 L shaped not U shaped. Then watched video again

[@KaylynnStrain]

would have to change the height (and maybe width) of the pot stand to match the height of your alcohol stove

[@Garboon1]

Have you e er mad one with 4 sides? Would it hold a fry pan or bigger pot steadier? Just wondering..

[@DeuCeNTX]

sorry if i missed something, but how do you store your stove? do you seal it somehow so it doesn't evaporate the fuel or is fuel loss a definite and you have to leave it to air out before storing?

[@Nerotique]

I measure fuel before I put it in the stove. You'll want to do some experimentation to see how much fuel it takes to boil water.

[@Lk4ahro]

How long will a penny stove burn?

[@arnoldarnold4944]

😊

[@LIBERTYVIEWS]

FYI...I looked up the MSDS sheet on that type of HEET and its primary ingredient is METHANOL. There's are two other proprietary ingredients; each less than .0001%.

[@earlelzy7243]

You're 😄 funny.

[@donberry6079]

Instead of using wire to hold the stand together, consider using small zip ties. They will hold and are much easier to use.

[@Nerotique]

Plastic zip ties will melt under the heat. If you want to get fancy, you something like small cable ferrels or copper tubing.

[@vincentcleaver1925]

Watched pot...

[@SWForce]

I just put bricks on their sides on each side and put the burner underneath

[@ferdonandebull]

Bella Orsi you carry bricks hiking?

[@alanhoytakabudgetbushcraft2280]

why heet and not Denatured alcohol you can get it just about anywhere .... i dont understand why people use heet .............. Denatured alcohol says stove fuel right on the can

[@walkerone9833]

You can get Heat at more places than the alcohol. Also, the bottle it comes in is bomb proof, crush proof and the fact that it has a long neck makes it easy to pour accurately and if it were to be crushed it allows movement in the bottle to keep it from leaking. Transferring the denatured to this bottle (or any bottle is a pain). In my area the cost difference is nil. For me, alcohol and the Heat burn the same. No brainer

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Alan, I keep both on hand. Both are available at my local Walmart. Heet is easy to pack in Grab/Go or Get Home bags. Larger containers of denatured are great for both my workshop and in a "base camp" setting. Whether the power is out at my home or stowed in our travel trailer. Personally I like to have multiple choices, when possible. Thus, I even have 70% Iso in my stash, as well.

[@jiujitsu2000]

Good morning brotha, I filmed a video answering many alcohol stove questions including this one. Problem is that one of the video files was bad. Might need to shoot that one again. Or at least that part.

[@colleenthomas353]

So much work- I simply took a larger can then the stove and cut both ends off and then cut large openings in the bottom and top for air. The can was about 1 or 2 inches higher than the stove. you can put your pan on top of this for cooking. Whole thing fits in a small bag along with a bottle of heat (yellow color) for transport.

[@BarryHope-bj5um]

In other words, It ain't rocket surgery.

[@crazysquirrel9425]

B-R-A-I-N C-R-A-M-P Just too easy! Brain cannot handle EASY stuff! "Takes a little time to get warmed up." Umm not at 2X speed it doesn't! I watch nearly all the videos at 1.5X to 2X. Wish I could find REAL coat hangers. All the ones I see lately are thin and flimsy....
