[@gorp27]

Great vid, I have no need for an alchohol stove at this time, but the way you made the rolled edge really impressed me.

[@KennethKramm]

This vid provides the best instructions I've seen for making a quality, durable alcohol stove. I have several home-made stoves, but none are as cool, I mean hot, as yours. Count me in. Ken

[@Laochri]

Thanks John! As I have said to another poster; "There was another KZbinr that showed you how to do it. After I made a comment "Now I can make my own" He since removed said video. He was want to sell them, and wasn't thinking." Now there is a video out there to show the DIYer how to do it. Keep the great videos coming.

[@JadeMRE]

Man, I have watched most of your videos and am just really amazed at problem solving skills and how you share with us. Thank you for your time and services. Greatly appreciated. Jared.

[@EdwardVarner]

I made this stove around 2014/15 and I still use it today. VERY GOOD, others love watch it too.

[@IntenseAngler]

That's awesome Edward! I'm extremely happy to hear that this stove has served you well for so long now. Thank you very much for your great comment my friend... it really means a lot!

[@staffman112159]

Very cool, have to teach this to my backpacking kids so they can have their "own" stove. Count me in.

[@andrewulrich6612]

I made a measuring jig and cut all mine with a 90 deg air grinder and a 5in waffer wheel then just took a tapered burr tip with my fingers and reamed what little burrs were inside the cuts. I used a bench vise for making the die and rolling the top. Made a jig on the drill press for spacing the 5/8" pilots. Only had to lay out the diameter lines. I made about 20 in assembly line fashion. Christmas presents for the extended family. I'll give them a stove,bottle of heet and a clean 2 pound coffee can for emergency boiling/cooking when the power goes out.

[@SuperDufus]

Dude, seriously... Awesome. From the editing to step by step instructions to the amazing DIY home tooling, well done my friend.

[@richardyap2117]

Cleverly used of a car jack. Outstanding and thanks for sharing.

[@MrJohnMainwaring]

That was entertaining, especially bringing the jack into the house. That's the cutest no cost stove, thanks for showing

[@makerofmanythings8447]

A 6" bench vise and 2 pieces of metal will work prefect for rolling the edges.

[@temomoreno2018]

Outstanding video. Easy to follow with detailed instructions.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you very much my friend. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch, as well as leaving such a generous comment regarding the video... it truly means a lot to me.

[@tylerlondon5052]

I couldn't even watch this video because my body wouldn't stop uncontrollably DANCING!

[@IntenseAngler]

+Tyler London I know right! Imagine how hard it was to edit like that! ;)

[@smallmagnum]

+Tyler London LOL! Set volume to 0!

[@SKANK_HUNT49]

me too I was on the crapper and my butt started dancing

[@60200clint]

lol

[@IntenseAngler]

+Dr. Seymour Butts LOL!

[@xkguy]

Nice the see pride in workmanship no matter how small the project…very nice finishing touches.

[@cosmicbrambleclawcommentch6110]

Love the video, and your channel :D I stumbled across this vid when I was looking at how to time effectively cut glass bottles, and have run through all of your stove and survival kit vids in the past little while. Im not a outdoorsman but this is some pretty awesome stuff that I intend to do soon :) I really like how you can distill hand sanitizer into fuel, that will save me a lot on alcohol fuel- meaning more fun (and dangerous- I admit) fire experiments (Im a pyro, guilty as charged) plus this will go great in my survival kit Im developing, and if I decide to go hiing the appalachain trail, I'll have a handy little stove for supper ^_^ great DIY

[@andreat8440]

I love how ya start out looking for one thing and find something totally unrelated to pique your interest! Stumbled into this vid completely by accident...and I'm quite glad I did! I have GOT to try building me one (or more) of these. Count me in!

[@marvstrickler9573]

Had the jack already etc. however buying a pick-up and 1 ton hitch was only $33K.

[@IntenseAngler]

LOL! Thanks for the great comment Marv.

[@IntenseAngler]

Definitely. This is about the strongest alcohol stove design that you can build. Might seem hard to believe, but it can easily withstand the weight of a full grown man standing on it. I'm really hard on my stoves and this one gets the thumbs up from me for its durability.

[@barryjordan8406]

Despite all the funny comments (and some were really funny), it was very creative, and this build could give one ideas for many other projects that may benifit from some of these technics. Good stuff (wasn't talking about the music) lol

[@IntenseAngler]

+Barry Jordan Gotta love the good ol' KZbin comments section... always entertaining, lol ;) Thanks for the compliment on the stove build by the way... much appreciated!

[@esanchezp]

Of all videos I've seen on how to make this type of stove, your is the best so far...in my opinion. Keep it up man.

[@psychicwoman]

Very inventive! Thank you! :)

[@Abul12t]

yes very inventive and entertaining.thanks.

[@psychicwoman]

This is a unique tool!

[@seanwilkinson3975]

The blue flames erupting from the stove jets are absolutely perfect. Great work!

[@glennfelpel9785]

absolutely genious, thank you for sharing.

[@IntenseAngler]

I agree. I usually sand and polish mine... gives 'em a kinda cool look. Thanks for the compliment on the vid by the way... much appreciated!

[@MrBeav1018]

Great idea for ice fishing or camping thanks

[@ShirleyAlexanderClifton]

Just discovered your most excellent DIY +Tips videos for ultralight backpacking! Great DIY projects for backcountry hiking, hammock camping. Count me in!

[@mommiecat]

I am intrigued at the way you rolled the edge. I need to roll the edges of metal bracelet blanks. I may have to try this now! (my husband was watching how to make the stove and I was watching over his shoulder).

[@andalencarrin1031]

Kim Sorensen Or you could have been actually doing something with your life. Start with NOT HATING

[@dazdeluxe7533]

what?

[@sryth1]

I just built one of these, and had that song running through my head the whole time! This thing throws out some heat! It outperformed my Trangia burner by a good deal (24oz water rolling boil w/2oz fuel@6:14 vs 11:31), but the Trangia burned longer. If your goal is to boil water, this thing is awesome!

[@the0elite]

LOL @ the music. OOOOoooo dat key change at 3:30

[@arifanwari3168]

[@SeansLittleBayofHorrors]

Alcohol stove videos never get old! Count me in!

[@drivesthecar3247]

With my luck, I'd knock the kitchen cabinet right off the wall! LOL!!

[@i-love-comountains3850]

i was thinking that it didnt look like a good idea lol

[@64maxpower]

that must suck having bad luck all the time

[@nj4x4fever2]

Thanks John for making this so simple.

[@HighDollar17]

You are smart as hell

[@padretheelder]

I made one of these for myself. It's the best design I could find. It worked so well that I made several more for my family and friends. They are practically indestructible and they work well. Thanks for all the great ideas.

[@garagelodgecrafting2704]

Hell YES!!!!

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

Wow...that's impressive...very imaginative...simple al can stove....the flame was incredible

[@wilrausure6901]

LOVE IT.. wonderful vid.. Music not so much but I muted to and watched it.

[@inquisitivewolf]

Excellent video with very clear instructions and nice close-ups. Thanks for sharing. Count me in.

[@sef2273]

When does the can melt from use

[@lynnwest9781]

WOW. NOW THATS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN SO. WELL DONE YOU. VERY PRO. AND IT WORKS VERY WELL.

[@stevenclarke804]

ok so it would seem that Canada and Australia don't have these type of bottles I see dollar signs, selling empty Bud Light bottles on Ebay !

[@stevenclarke804]

Nevermind seems like about 500 people beat me to it :)

[@BradClarke]

Look for the Molson Canadian aluminum bottles. That's what I use for this type of stove.

[@mikefireeater]

I'm a stove junky too! Thanks for all the tips! Count Me In!

[@TheNfields260]

if I did that in my kitchen to the cabinets, my wife would freak

[@gerardjones7881]

We know who pushes the vacuum cleaner in your house.

[@anthonyolivares4608]

keepin it simple for those of us with no access to machinery. thanks for the tutorial. have a good one John! & "count me in" (:

[@HorsepowerHouse]

The music is that "free" music on KZbin when you use the Video Creator app. (you get what you pay for)....

[@HorsepowerHouse]

The video is actually very well done (compared to most awful vids on here). I'm sure you complainers could do better (not). Just appreciate what the guy did - and say Thank You.

[@kscmac78]

Very very nice! I like this one! Good for emergencies, need to make some for my kids in case of hurricanes! Count me in

[@nsdfnsdf]

we don't have them bottles in Australia.

[@Waitn4MyRucaa]

[@bossybill7437]

Red Bull sell those bottles in Australia

[@bossybill7437]

Red Bull sell those bottles in Australia

[@nsdfnsdf]

***** I have never seen them. were have you seen them????

[@bossybill7437]

I bought them in Coles. Lots of regular tinnies but also Red Bull bottles just like the ones in the vid. They were on the top shelf - maybe you need to look up there?

[@anthonykirby8154]

Love this burner. More sturdy than the penny burners I make from soda cans. I want one. Count me in.

[@floppyfishing]

i broke the kitchen cupboards off the wall with the jack now what do i tell the wife

[@samjohnstone1356]

I don't know, but when my friend Darins parents went on vacation we went driving in their Honda civic and accidentally rolled it, after rolling it back onto its wheels we drove home and parked it back in the garage and made up a story that the car got stolen..

[@ksstg581]

tell her you're sorry about the scratches on the marble counter from the cement block you put under the jack! 😖

[@MostYourBase]

That trick with the die is pretty slick. Nice work.

[@Hiker63]

[@loonytik25]

Well done as usual John. Been going back and watching some of your older videos as well. Count me in.

[@HyperSole]

I know I've heard this theme song somewhere...where?!

[@TopCat2021]

Just one word "Genius" thanks for the great tip.

[@xelionizer]

omg that music is absolutely horrid!

[@Nature_Reclaimed]

Best use of a Budweiser can I've seen yet! I've seen a few versions of this, but I think this is my fave.

[@MattyMattMatt2015]

At 1:11 did Anybody else notice the cocaine pinky nail?

[@matthewbutts6712]

yup

[@crissangelfreak666]

I literally was just thinking "nice coke nail" XD

[@leekazuya1305]

+Matty Matt Matt the fuck is that?

[@DivaTS1]

I wasn't looking at his nails, lol

[@russdaniels9818]

Thanks for the vid. I save a dozen or so bottles in case it took me more than one attempt, but thanks to the vid I nailed it the first time.

[@jsphknt]

I got so excited when the shitty song changed key

[@edgit69]

This is awesome!! I have been looking how to make one of these with out the high dollar machine shop.. You are a genius ..

[@ThePolk14]

Please never use this song again

[@comfortouch]

Please learn how to use the volume control and mute button.

[@IntenseAngler]

My pleasure. Thanks for the support :-)

[@urflofit2010]

Ooooh too bad about those tattoos

[@urflofit2010]

Yeah, I really think too bad anytime I see tattoos because tastes change over time but those d**n things will still be there

[@framco9915]

onetwothree57 oh that's funny, I have your profile picture as a tattoo. Only people like you that don't like tattoos and think it's just for fashion could regret a tattoo. If you don't like them don't get them and don't do any stupid statements like this one on someone else's tattoos.

[@GavTatu]

too bad ? pfft.... i make a few stoves and have way more tattoos !

[@urflofit2010]

I guess you win

[@GavTatu]

yes. yes i do.

[@IntenseAngler]

Anytime my friend. And thanks for the support, it's much appreciated!

[@JSdodgem37]

This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. Count me in.

[@MrThundermountainman]

Excellent, the whole key in the die. You have to get that right. Count me in!

[@nonyaefinBuisness]

I made one and it works great, It has 16 jet holes and I filed 4 notches in the top to keep the flame from going out. Used c-clamps and only problem was keeping it straight when compressing it. Thanks for the how to vid, I know what im giving out for Christmas. LOL

[@DeltaTactical1]

I made this burner today:). I actually used a can crusher I bought at Harbor Freight. I bought it specifically for this burner and it worked perfect.

[@evamountainwolf9804]

Car Jack ? That's awsome idea!! The result is neat!!!

[@mustang774]

Very good instructions for the stove build. Thanks for showing us. Take care, Bluefin.

[@OjiiSan53]

I had been trying to figure out how to do a rolled-edge for a DIY alcohol stove. This is very helpful. Thanx for posting.

[@NearlyNativeNursery]

Greta method of DIY rolling the aluminum together. Thanks for sharing.

[@RatdogDRB]

Nice job on your videos... informative... but not saturated with mindless blathering. Ya got some cool ideas too. Thanks for sharing them.... "Count me in"

[@crashinkc]

This is the best use for those aluminum bottles I've seen Count me in.

[@rsenorman]

Well crafted video- Well planned; Expert workmanship. Thanks for taking the time to share secrets.

[@NicholasAarons]

Very clever & very Cool. Awesome Video. Keep up the great work. Nick.

[@briargoatkilla]

Heavy metal guitar riffs with synthesized horns? Awesome DIY stove designs? Big banners that say "Fire It Up"? Dude! Count me in!

[@Raku777]

Good instructional video...I like how you use the car jack as a press. This is the first video on how to make alcohol burner stoves that thought of this that I have seen!

[@IntenseAngler]

+Raku777 Thanks my friend... glad to hear you liked it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment btw.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Brother. Glad that you enjoyed the vid :-) Yeah, getting a nice, clean rolled-edge can be a "hit or miss" sometimes. The solution is in the die. I've found that the smoother your die comes out, the better it rolls the edge over. Sometimes putting the bottom of another bottle inside of the finished die and then rolling it across a hard surface (with just a little pressure) will even out any imperfections. Hope that helps (and makes sense, lol).....

[@Sonicgiraffe]

Fantastic tutorial. I've seen and built many alcohol stoves, but none as clean as this. I may have to put one together!

[@chrisregpick]

I wasn't sure at first, but I stuck with it. When those jets starting firing, that was impressive. Nice going.

[@IntenseAngler]

You're very welcome. Really glad to hear that your stove build worked out on the first attempt... good job man :)

[@1943L]

Very clever use of the car Jack. Nice sealed end result.

[@patcombee7749]

John, I only have 2 words for this video: Awesomely Cool! Count me in!!!

[@pewpro941]

Made my first one tonight. Messed up a few times by not cutting straight and forgetting to drill a hole in dye so it ripped. But now I have the dye made right and cut it with a sawzall and it came out just about perfect.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you very much my friend, I really appreciate the support and encouragement. I'm also glad to hear that you enjoyed Devin's trip... hopefully we'll be getting out very soon to do it again. He is really looking forward to it!

[@TheOneWhoTubes]

Got the mats for this a year ago & haven't made mine yet... Thx for the great vid! Count me in!

[@FlashGeiger]

Nice to see the return of the Jenga blocks... :) Thanks for the vid.

[@spc4ag]

I already made the mini wood stove from one of your instructional videos to add to my EDC. Looks like I get to try this now. Awesome video, Count me in.

[@Onemancanonlydosomuch]

You're a true craftsman sit. Great video. Count me in.

[@JLeeChron]

Yeah John, thanks for the show. First one I made works nicely, although the newer aluminum bottles are shaped differently than these you use. A little unstable standing by itself. And your tip for the day, using Chapstick around the edges of the die will help it come apart, plus, #2 option, using a compressor in the air hole blows it apart nicely, although a touch forceful- so clear out! 1/16 air holes around outside wall only. I also crimped the upper edge with a pair of small pliers. One question tho is how long will this contraption last? ....now back to perfecting that rolled edge.

[@jonathansgarden9128]

I realize your comment is 7 years old but if you see this; i used WD-40 instead of chapstick and although it worked, i think the aluminum just isn't the same mil and shape anymore so it needs more tweaking. I'm going to try monster cans instead with a different design but still the rolled idea!

[@garystuder8503]

Best stove I've seen awsom build and craftsmanship.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you for the very generous compliment Gary. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment... it means a lot.

[@saintrojo]

Nice !! Love these how to videos. I made one of the x-lite stoves. Had a hell of a time finding aluminum bottles!! Count me in please.

[@yingfengshen8471]

Your way of marking the can is so clever! It probably can be applied to glass bottle cutting too!

[@elciocabral8753]

One of the very best one stoves! Count me in!

[@44sk8ter]

I used a piece of 2" diameter plastic tube 2" long to make a fixture for the jet holes. I slit it lengthwise put the holes in it and use a hose clamp to tighten it around the stove. Great for knocking out a case of bottle stoves at a time!

[@Christophe_L]

What an elegant solution. Amazing!

[@williamkaczmarek3996]

I'm learning a lot from your videos. Count me in.
