Ikea Hobo Stove & Cook Kit - Part 3

[@rickbartley9255]

I highly recommend picking up a pop rivet gun, if you don't already have one. Aluminum and stainless rivets are readily available in several diameters and lengths and would simplify adding your hangers and pot rings. I'm really enjoying the videos. I can't wait to build something for our family camping.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

For sure. I do have a pop-rivet tool. I use it often. For this project I was trying to keep it simple for people who don't have one. Thanks for commenting

[@craigbetts1586]

thanks Mark for this how to series, nothing give one more satisfaction than to build something for themself

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

True story my friend...love making things and saving money at the same time

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

Watched the whole series and loved your step by step directions...just about fool proof. I too shop at Value Village for parts (I previously made a SS pot/bunt pan dry bake oven as in a Dutch Oven), and I might just try this project. My only caution woild be to use only stainless steel hardware, as the galvenized screws, nuts, etc. can give off toxic fumes when heated. Great video.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

P.S. Roberson screw bits...why don't you confuse the Americans 😉

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Lots of fun projects to be had at Value Village. Thanks for commenting

camping buddy wouldn’t the “first burn” burn all the “bad stuff” off? Confused American 🙄

[@swnorcraft7971]

Once the plating burns/wears off from the fasteners, they will rust. The acids in some foods will also degrade the plating on screws, so 18-8 or 304 stainless fasteners would be the best choice. McMaster/Carr carries all the fasteners you will ever need. They also have stainless wire and aircraft cable. mcmaster.com

[@johnlord8337]

OK. Great construction of the cooking pot and parts. Now I need to find such container. I made the same 1/16" dia cable, and pinched S hooks on the loops. Pinch another S hook onto the cable. This detached cabling can carry the fire can from its holes as a single apache fire carrier, or have as a mobile fire-can (night light, mosquito citronella bugger light, inside tent warmer in a dakota fire pit). The bale cable can then be held by the S hook or from the cable (depending on how you hang the fire-can or the cooking pot over the camp fire (from a wooden tripod, or a cable trammel).

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I got lucky on the pot finding it at Value Village, our local thrift store. I have since found that Ikea has another utensil holder that fits in the strainer like it was made for it. Only issue is that it does not have a lid. I found lids on eBay that will fit perfectly www.ebay.ca/itm/Dustproof-Anti-dust-Glass-Cup-Cover-Coffee-Mug-Suction-Seal-Lid-Cap-Tool/132537624843?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=431889742829&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

You can also bring your new sugar pot to a boil for a few minutes, then after that apply olive oil continuously in the interior of the pot to create a nonstick process. You won't have to worry about food sticking to the bottom of your pot. :)

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Great suggestion. I will be sure to mention it in a future video. Thanks for commenting.

[@tom_olofsson]

When I make my pot I will try attaching the handle to the lid using JBWeld instead of screws. That may attract less food debris and make cleanup easier. Just a thought.

Worth a try. If it doesn't work out, you could change it later. Thanks for commenting

Just a thought, back to the stove , can’t wait to make and use it . Something to do this winter. By from eastern Kentucky! Stay warm.

Hi Johnny. I am not certain what you are referring to. If it is the stainless steel skewers, I picked them up at Dollarama, a dollar store here in Canada. If that is not what you mean please let me know

[@redoak3809]

Nice video. I think the lid would have only needed one bolt in the picture frame. I need a center finder! When drilling a hole in the sides of the pot, I would use a small drill and then a larger one.

I subscribed for the IKEA vs videos. Loved this set up, as we already have an IKEA utensil drainer, and the sugar jar I can watch out for. I just thought with that much space in the 'billy can' you might add 2 tent pegs (for the height), a small bottle of Alcohol and a soda alcohol stove too. a lighter and/or a small ferro rod. ........and we have a folding vegetable steamer/strainer (I've seen a wood burner or solo BBQ idea with a PC Fan Guard) My wife is going to need something to replace them.. or me.. I hope it the kitchenware she gets a new one of !

Great video(s) and a superb project. I will see if my kids are interested, but I love the Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox XL stove even though it is pricey...compared to thrift store purchases ( I also usually check out a few stores almost weekly). I am VERY interested to know where the circle template was purchased; to date I use a rafter square and a speed square for the 45o angle to mark lines @ right angles to give me the centre - it works but not as efficient as what you have there.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Hot brew and maybe some lunch coming soon. Thanks for commenting Terry

[@jimf1964]

Another great cheap alternative. For the holes though, in the firebox, they are at 90deg, to each other, and offset, so the sticks will cross, and well as pointed upwards a bit, like holding a match. This was done so that you can actually get a little control over how hot the fire gets. You can use two small, or three or 4 very small twigs, and the smaller the hotter due mostly to surface area. Long story short, maybe you should have made them like that. Two smaller, offset holes. Also, you could use your skewers to hold an alcohol stove inside your stick stove, but may need a slight adjustment to a couple holes. I think this is an important feature in a stick stove, for use when dry fuel is impossible to find. And all the components could be put inside the set up. Really though, a brilliant idea for someone who doesn't have the cash. As much as I adore my firebox, this is tempting me to do just for the fun of it.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Great ideas Jim. I have a couple of extra Ikea utensil strainers I have been planing to set up similar to the Firebox with staggered feed holes. It will be different but remains to be seen if it will be better. Thanks for commenting.

[@jimf1964]

Mark Young Well, I haven't played with making my own stove or anything, so I'm certainly not an expert, but I love my firebox, and has studied how it's designed, and why etc.....and I love it. 🙃🙂 Have you seen any of the videos from firebox? The guy is awesome. Goes out all the time trying shit with it. Great stuff to watch. Anyway, great videos. Thanks

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

@@jimf1964 Sure have. I watch Steve's videos all the time. I own and love both Firebox stoves. I consider them the best stick stoves on the market. Coincidently, I am planning a series of video comparing stoves. The two stoves I will compare first as I feel so strongly about both of them are the Ikea hobo stove and the Firebox.

Any chance Pop Rivets would work on the lid. They just seem smoother?? The holes would escape the steam also.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Pop rivets are great. My only caution would be to use stainless steel ones if they will be exposed to direct flame. Thanks for commenting

[@steves1749]

Enjoyed. Just had a thought that instead of nuts and bolts on this project pop rivets might be a cleaner look. Those pop rivet tools are not expensive.

Be sure and get stainless steel pop rivets.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Right on...Yes, still using the stove. I have at least a half dozen Ikea stoves so I tend to make them and give them away. I will be doing a series of videos comparing the Ikea stove to some well know production stoves so the one in the video will likely be used for that.Thanks for commenting

[@Rad_B_OLand]

Mark Young Someone already has, kinda. The steel fishing leader I came up with after watching this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXzQd5SgpqianJo But I like your picture hangers better than just holes.

[@Ladythyme]

Just wondering...when All was said and done... including all the materials used, your time...needed tools and anything else that might be applicable ...what do you estimate the overall cost of making this is/was?

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Good question. Material wise, maybe $10.00CAD for the items bought specifically for this project. Although some of those items were only partially used (aluminum bar, skewers, mounting hardware). I probably put 3 hours time into the project. Although it takes longer when recording. If I measured my time in terms of what I would charge as a consultant, it would be very expensive but in terms of using my free time to apply what little skill I have and enjoy the process..that was worth it. Tools I had but I tried to show some less expensive alternatives, including using the items just as they are...Hope this answers your question

[@Ladythyme]

Interesting... great ideas... & ambitious undertaking for me...I love to watch people build things but I have a feeling I’d botch this all up! Lol... In the long run it’d probably be better for me to buy something... I tried to do the ikea stove but having minimal tools I messed up cutting the hole... think I’ll stick to feather sticking and tying knots! lol... I so admire those who can do these .. I enjoyed watching... thanks!

[@basutripathy]

[@donnarichards2021]

An easy way to punch a hole while maintaining the curve of your canister would be to fill it with water and freeze it. Punch the holes then thaw the water = no dents.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Interesting idea. I may try that on my next project. Thanks for sharing

[@teddahrable]

Get an automatic centre punch. They're cheap at Princess Auto. Helps by not needing a third hand.

[@medeogre3285]

Another method, clamp a piece of metal pipe into a vice and use that as an anvilhorn.

[@medeogre3285]

Another useful tool for the shop is sandbags, two on either side of the cylinder and one inside for stability.

How is it travelling now , is it still working .

Would rivets work for attaching the bail hardware?

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Pop rivets are certainly and option. I did consider using rivets and some type of bracket that would hold a bail wire but opted for simplicity. Let me know if you try the rivets. Thanks for commenting

[@seamus-xi7hz]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft Have found rivets to work quite well. An anvil, which you already have, is needed to peen the rivets to the required tightness. Once the rivets are firmly in place, you need never be concerned about the nut & lock washer working loose and falling into your cook pot.... be well, stay strong, live long; your knowledge and innovation are remarkable...Cheers.

[@ryanc4799]

Is there a reason why I couldn't use aluminum or steel rivets instead of nuts and bolts

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

You absolutely could. I would think steel rivets would resist any heat better. I chose nuts and bolts as something more people may have access to. I recently started using 3/4" conduit clamps as swing out feet. The make for a more stable setup. Thanks for commenting

Unfortunate. I buy mine at Dollarama, our local dollar store. They are only out during BBQ season

[@daylight5500]

Mark, I was looking at my Ikea utensil holder. Have you ever thought of using the Ikea stove by laying it on it's side? Like a pot belly stove. Putting feet on what you choose as the bottom and cutting open the chosen top. Placing rods across the top as pot holders. I understand this would work better for car and cabin camping because the feet end up on the side and it would not fit in the stuff sack as well as when the feet are on the bottom. I considered this after seeing how precarious the stove is upright, with the weight of the pot on the top. I saw a video where the whole thing fell over. As a pot belly stove it would be more secure.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Wow...really cool idea. I think I may have an extra Ikea strainer I can try this with. Thanks for the idea

[@daylight5500]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I have some ideas but I think that someone like you who is further down the rabbit hole will be more inventive.My thinking is that if you can suspend a can from the top portion you may have a small oven or using your metal rods and a sheet of tin can you can create a cookie sheet. By covering the hole at the top with foil you could reflect some heat down. You would need to be working with coals at this stage not direct flame. You have spiked my imagination. Thanks. Nothing like a good day dream.

Mark how has the pot held up to use?

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Very well. No issues at all. I find I usually leave the lid sitting loose on top when boiling to make it easier to lift off. Thanks for commenting

Hi Mark, I am assembling my kit, using your videos as a guide. And your information and instructions are very helpful. I have the taller version of the IKEA strainer, and was noticing that when the pot sitting on top of aluminum bars, the setup becomes a little unbalanced, at least for me and my shakey MS related hands. So, I was wondering if you have ever used your setup with either a Stanley pot or GSI cup? My idea was to ultimately lower the center of gravity. And since these pots are slimmer than the IKEA caddy diameter,they can be used by lowering them into the IKEA caddy and suspended by skewars or tent stakes put through the holes of the stove. Do you think that the air flow would be beneficial and sufficient using this method? Thanks again for the information and instructions on how to properly build the stove!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I am glad you are finding the videos useful. Couple of suggestions for your set up. Take a look at the two-video series I did on making simple stuff sacks. In the second video I make a sack for a Ikea hobo cook kit. I use metal conduit clamps as feet for that stove. They can swing out and create a wider more stable base. Also, the pot in that set sits down inside the stove. On testing I have found a pot that is smaller in diameter that the stove works very well as the heat and flames can move up the sides of the pot. A couple of tent stakes are all that are needed to support the pot at varying heights. Let me know how your set up works out for you

[@BingWatcher]

Mark Young I will go check out the videos that you have referenced‼️ And I will most definitely let you know how the project turns out. 😎 The conduit clamps as legs sounds like a great idea, as it should greatly mprove the stability. ➡️Thank you very much for your quick response👍🏻

Stainless steal welding wire would made a great bail

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

it would Jim. the skewers are cheaper

Waarom geen rvs popnagels ? Goei strakke afsluiting .

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Stainless steel pop-rivets would work great. I did not have any at the time of making this video. Thanks for commenting

After all that work, why didn't you show how well it fit into the stove. You just passed by that whole part the only time we saw it with the stove was when it was in the bag. I just don't understand that.....
