I appreciate the sharing of your videos. I just don’t have time to make one.
If anyone want to sell me a small one send me an email.
Hi BigMillFO3, You …
Hi BigMillFO3, You are right about the cost of unibits they are a little expensive. But you can still use regular drill bits, even a set from the dollar store will work. Or anything to make the holes, you could use a nail to make a small hole then enlarge it with a punch. Or use a church key type can opener to make triangle holes. Building these stoves with whatever materials and tools you have on hand and for no cost is part of the fun. Good luck with your stove build.
Hello 1800jayd, …
Hello 1800jayd, Larger Wood Gas burners work great. A friend has built a couple of campfire/wood gas stoves from large popcorn tins for the outer can and charcoal chimney starters for the inner can or burn chamber, with very good results. They are very good for cooking and for smoke free campfires. And are extremely efficient with fuel.
It should be possible to build real nice burner from a 55 gal drum cut down to size for the outer can with a 30 gal drum cut to fit for the burn chamber.
I don’t understand …
I don’t understand how you make the collar for the inner can so that it sits on top of the outer can. Can you explain?
I tried that, cut …
I tried that, cut my finger and ruined the lid. Will likely try again though I can’t believe I’m considering purchasing a $40 Unibit when I’m not even sure these are true woodgas stoves, what size they should be, whether I can find the cans, whether I can even get it to light.
Unibits are …
Unibits are prohibitively expensive. Unless you’re going to make and sell these stoves or have some other use for it I personally can’t justify the expenditure.
This might be a …
This might be a dumb question?
Do you think a super size version of this would work for a portable fire pit? Like a 55 gallon drum. I live in the desert southwest and fire wood is not always easy to come by. I thought a wood gas fire pit might use less fuel for a small campfire? Any thoughts
Steve, excellent …

Steve, excellent stove designs and video! (And I’ll commend you for your patience in repeatedly answering the question “how do you get the inner can attached to the lid?” I was about to ask the same thing until I read your answer(s)
It will burn best …
It will burn best if you try to keep the fuel below the jets. A little tender and kindling above the jets will be ok as it will burn down to the level of the jets quickly.
does the wood have …
does the wood have to be below the fuel jets
thanks mate i was …
thanks mate i was also wondering how long is the inside can for the mini wood gas stove
You are awesome …
You are awesome Steve! Thanks for the videos.
Hey dizzaeble, Try …
Hey dizzaeble, Try cutting the hole in the outer cans lid a little smaller than the diameter of the inter can. Then cut a bunch of slits along the edge of that hole, creating tabs that will bend down a little when you push the inter can through the outer cans lid. These tabs will be spring loaded against the inter can and form a compression type fitting. It does not need to be air tight.
does any one no how …
does any one no how to stick the lid of the outside one onto the inside can???
Thanks for the …
Thanks for the video. Now I have some ideas to get started.
Perfect video for …
Perfect video for the information. I can now go home and make one with great confidence. I look forward to the fun and its use. This will save huge money on the woodgas stove purchase I was planning.
