DIY Wood Gas Stove - homemade paint can gasifier. Simple and cheap.

Just a DIY experiment to see if I could make a gasification wood stove that runs on pellets since I was on house arrest during the country lock down. I used a small pint paint can and an empty tomato tin can to make the whole thing. Cost of roughly $3-$4. Works well, cheap and simple to make.

Excellent, perfect burn. Now, all you need is a pot stand. Again, I haven't seen a better demonstration of how it should work. Thanks.

Very simple.
With minimalist tools
I love this.

nice looking build. If you want more heat all you need to do is to block off some of your primary air inlet holes to choke the stove down and this will do two things, 1) increase the burn temperature and 2) increase the overall burn time for a given fuel load. For builders if you see any smoke or get soot on your pots this is a sign of un burned smoke = carbon the solution is give choke down the stove reduce primary air intake which will heat up the burn temperature and burn that carbon. You can do this easily with a spare tin lid cut to fit into the burn pot with a hole in its middle. Big hole more air, smaller hole less air - simple.

A clean burning stove is an efficient stove and a safe stove to be around. If you think that second hand cigarette smoke is dangerous it is nothing compared to wood smoke which is tens of thousands more dangerous. Who knew? Well we all do now. Be safe.

I have several and suggest making a rim collar with holes in it that will allow raising a platform for any cooking vessel and be a wind breaker.

I love these types of stoves! I want to make a bunch! (I likely won't lol) as I was thinking about how to make it out of a gallon paint can and seeing comments about how to make it cleaner, and therefore hotter, I wondered how easy it is to over heat to failure...

I like, that you didn’t cut out the bottom of the outer can. It’s safer, and holds the heat better.

thanks for the vid. will try it at home

Your build looks great! I cut the bottom out of the outer can entirely to let the ash fall out, but I didn’t get nearly as neat a fit between the two cans

Good effort although it would have burnt hotter and cleaner if you had only 1 row of 1/4 in holes at the top. The number of holes in the inner can base was overkill since was considerably more area than the outside air holes.

I built a bigger one, very crude construction but works, what I need now is a decent set of cookware that isn't teflon coated, because that teflon burns up and can leech toxins into your food.

Nice build.
How hot does the bottom get?

Tem que furar as Duas Latas ne Amigo Obrigado

[buddyjackson]

If u have the $$ for a metal lathe then u can just buy a wood burning stove 😮
Totally un useful video..

With all those expensive tools I expected a nicer job.
With a chimney you'll get a taller flame, and more heat.
