DIY Fuel Tab [This is Awesome!]

Here is a way to make your very own Fuel Tabs for any solid fuel stove. They are also excellent fire starters/extenders. Made with inexpensive and relatively available products they burn for up to 16 minutes!

After making the solid fuel stove, I wanted to make the fuel too. Here is what I came up with. It uses mostly common items and is easy to put together and use for cooking. It burns strongly and will work in all solid fuel stoves. It's also a great fire starter for wet weather. Thanks for watching!

[samrogrer]

I loved the way you made your stove out of a sink drain.. To me that was the BEST of this video..

[kevinmason]

I like these type of projects. It is something I can do with my children, because it is simple and keeps their interest. It also makes them feel invested in our overnight trips. Thanks for awesome videos. Please keep them coming.

James, I would love to see an updated version of this idea where you show the process. What a great project!

[jamessotherden]

16 minutes is a pretty good burn time. Thank you for showing this.

[TerryC]

James, this is a good project and a nice follow-up to the solid fuel stove video. To my mind, improvisation and creating your own gear, whenever you can, is the very spirit this thing of ours. Bless you, Brother.

Great video! I remember back when we made these 30 years ago in Boy Scouts. We used paraffin and sawdust in small paper sacrement cups. They are also in the US Army Special Force's Incendiary manual 1964. I always liked them more than alcohol or White gas in my pack. Keep up the good work.

Thumbs up from an old guy who uses cardboard egg cartons. All the best .

[ItMustBeBlu]

Thanks for sharing this. I had an accident with an alcohol stove some years ago and have switched to solid fuel since then, and have been looking for videos of how to make my own. This is PERFECT! Thank you

Once again, this channel knocks it outta the ball park!

[TheEndleader]

That little burner stove is a must try project for me, ty!

James speaks so well and with authority and confidence, I thought he was prior military. He sounds just like many instructors I had when I was in the military.

[Apchestangenightout]

Thank you so much James for the making of these fuel tabs for that DIY stove you came up with . You're a genius and I can't wait to see you reach that million subscribers because you deserve it and much more . Peace be with you .

[i_am_a_freespirit]

James, i made one of those little stoves and it became my favorite for heating up water for my afternoon coffee!
I also added a small pan underneath to catch anything falling off through the burner holes.

Went to Walmart last night with this cookstove in mind and all the hacks for the stanley cookset. Couldn't find a koozie big enough. And the peerless sink strainer is now almost 5 bucks. Once I get back to work from winter layoff I'll be starting all these diy projects. You have quickly become my favorite channel thanks for your input and instructions.

I don't have sawdust readily available, but I make these at home with just old candle wax and dryer lint. It actually works really well, though I cannot say about the heat output or the smell of whatever burning off in the clothes.

[earlshaner]

Hi from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your thoughts and survival tips

[dianatousant]

I wish I'd seen this before buying fuel cubes. Will make these for summer. Made a second sink stopper stove, picked up a small toaster oven slotted shallow pan. Voila! I have a two burner stove that will cook a full meal (once I've made these fuel cubes with cotton balls) in no time! Yee haw! So much fun, so little money spent! Thanks so much!

[kentuckygirl]

Adding a couple of binder clips to the aluminum foil screen (attach to the feet of the stove) will keep it from being blown off. As always, awesome video! Thanks James! God bless and stay safe!

Oh, this is definitely on the list! I love experimenting with different firestarter and flame extenders, but haven't tried anything with solid fuel tabs yet.
My favorite ready-made tinder/ extender (so far) is cotton rounds saturated with coconut oil, dipped and sealed in candle wax... Using them as usual (break open, fluff up, spark) I have gotten 8-10 minute burn time in a stiff breeze. They do get messy in warmer weather, which in Louisiana is 85% of the year lol, but a sandwich baggie or something will keep them from making a mess... And any oil on my fingers just gets rubbed on either my knife blade, or my beard! LOL

I did see someone who suggested substituting beeswax; that way you've even got a second potential use for them- emergency calories in a survival situation! Chewing the wax and extracting the calories and large amount of fats from the coconut oil might save your life, who knows.
