Hobo Stove



How to Make A Homemade Camp Stove


  • 1
    Take a clean, empty soda can and make a cut approximately 2.5 centimeters from the bottom of the can with your box cutter. Continue to cut around the length of the can. Do the same thing with another clean, empty soda can.
  • 2
    Drill a hole in the bottom of one of the 2.5-centimeter can bottoms.
  • 3
    Take the two can bottoms and push them inside one another. There should now be a can bottom on either side and the two cans should fit together snugly.
  • 4
    Place the cans on a hard surface, hole-side up. Take your needle and punch lots of small holes around the top of the can facing upwards. Try to only punch holes around the outer perimeter of the top of the can.
  • 5
    Pour a small amount of alcohol into the center hole, enough to cover the bottom of the inside of the stove.
  • 6
    Light the alcohol with a match and put a penny over the center hole.
  • 7
    You're ready to cook marshmallows!
