well I say hello to you and guess what I teased you on my last video and we're
gonna look at this stove right here it's the old J Falk compact wood-burning
stove it's made out of two cans that right there is a pink can of court pink
and that you can get at any home store or paint store or hardware store you
just buy one new and this I think is a 14 ounce tomato can I'm gonna
double-check on that this is what it looks like when it's new nice and bright
and shiny not real heavy I think it's about 6.8 ounces and I'm not even going
to begin to guess what that is in grams till I get the scale out and it's kind
of tall you'll set your pot up on top but the nice thing is you can just add
your wood as you go when it's a lot of fun now this one right here is my old
Bush buddy they're getting harder to find they're kind of expensive and
they've got a particular way to burn and use them
this one is cheap you can make it easily first off here we're gonna weigh the
brand-new one all right that's 6.80
oh six point seven five no six point eight oh no six point seven five ounces
and 192 no 93 grams will this fit into the hillbilly plot yes it will that's my
eye moussa 12 CM pot but you don't have one of those this is a Snow Peak 900 pot
and it fits into that both of these are about four cup you know plus a little
bit so it fits in there real nice if you're gonna carry it in your pot I
would recommend having a little stuff sack this is the one I carry my Bush
buddy in but it's just a little silly Isle on
Sakhalin eight years ago and way I can I can put my pot because it's gonna have a
lot of ash and stuff in it and have that in your pot and lift that right along
and your cook kit I think it's just prudent prudence so this is what you get
you can kind of see there's some little binder clips right there with a screw in
it and that is your pot stand you can kind of see there right here on this one
and I can take this pot and that will hold it up with a little breathing room
right there you have this which is the bottom of this can that has been cut out
with a can opener that cuts around the side what that is that's going to be
your vapor barrier which you will set on the ground alright and this stove right
here I already have my chunks of wood in there
sitting on my little vapor barrier now what you do is take the paint can we
just have the bottom cut out of that your top Ridge where you usually put
your paint lid back on has some screws screw it into it all right kind of see
that that looks to be about 7/8 to the very top of that screw but I don't think
that matters too much get close enough do the best you can but what they're
there to do is to take this part all
right the can and make that together it's just
kind of a pressure fit kind of slide that on alright and it just kind of
holds them together
now you're gonna take a dremel tool and cut this big V out of this can if you
make this line it up so you have the seams from the cans lined up like that
that is the back and give you an idea of your hole spacing there so you can see
that the holes are about a half an inch all the holes except for the peg holes
for the alcohol stove now one thing about a wood-burning stove you're going
to get dirty hands and you're going to get pot smut on you from flames being on
your pot but if you make yourself a nice cozy which I showed on my last video you
know reflectix cozy or something whenever your pot is smutty like this
put that thing right into the cozy and that really helps you you know keep your
hands clean out there in camp if you'd like to be a little fast idiot anyway
the way this packs up you take this pan off the bottom and take the lid when
you're done drop that in there and then you just slide this part right inside
and there's your six point eight ounce wood-burning stove now looks like this
thing up and burn a fire because fire is fun you can see right here I just got
some a bunch of small little dry twigs some pinecones I've got some birch bark
but really just smaller sticks okay and when I'm hiking along when I carry out a
wood stove I usually keep this a little this little bag near me and when I see
dry wood or a nice piece of birch bark you know as you're walking along
particularly if it's a damp day you're looking for wood kind of hanging up in
the trees you don't want pulpy wet wood and
a limb that's snaps real easy and I can get a little bit of dry wood or it's
hanging up under a little rock shelf or something I'll go ahead and grab it and
just get me a little sack load it weighs nothing and that way I got enough to get
a fire going when I get the camp let's load it up and light it up now one thing
about this is it's kind of a tall stove now it's it's pretty steady with the pot
of water on it lay your vapor barrier down on the ground or wherever you're
gonna build this fire take this part of the stove place it like that now what
I'll do is I'm just going to drop a lot of these sticks in there
and basically just get some stuff you'll want a little bit of space between it
don't pack it in there too hard this is just kind of your little your little
starter fire right I'll take just cotton ball it's been soaked in Vaseline like
that drop that in there and get this little fire going now I'd like to go
ahead and put this can on first so I don't have flames coming up while I'm
trying to put that on okay
one thing that's real handy you're gonna use a wood-burning stove is to have a
blow tube this is called my pocket bellows kind of like an antenna I
probably got a good three cups of water up in that pod
and I'm just keep adding some little sticks and see how my hands just hit
that so you gotta be a little careful and your wood now I'm gonna start adding
some a little bit bigger sticks now you don't want to choke the fire out by just
adding too much fuel in there that thing's burning really good right now so
that's pretty much the J fall compact wood-burning stove doing its thing I
find it simple to use
but is going to show you that can you want to use here just shy of four inches
but anything in there will work so take self a little ruler something to the
store make sure you're getting a four inch can for the top part mmm a birdie
bowl here these holes here for using your alcohol stove right there are about
two and a half inches from the bottom of the can roughly alright we'll put that
stake through there and use it with an alcohol stove so put the two stakes in
there and the the lid that comes with it the little vapor barrier lid I'm going
to use the old cat stove that people use worldwide only an a an ounce of alcohol
of that like that puppy up
the pot about two cups of water right on there
so I added myself a little windscreen around there just because it is a little
bit windy today
now with this one Hut take my fight off now we're just gonna let those ashes
burn down until they become cold embers now when you're using this stove you
know take heed check the wind let these ashes burn out you can pull off these
cans when it's ready you know if you're having lunch and you're gonna use this
make sure you pour some water on there and make sure all those coals are out
but if you'll just let it sit a while at camp they'll just die out really quick
and you can just kind of blow them on out of there but we still we still got
flame in there and that'll take a little while so the easiest thing to do is it's
not too hot right now let's just pull the stove off and if you're at camp just
douse those with some with some water sounds like a boil
me and that titanium there's no big pot we done made friends so that was some
good fun Roy I want to give you a little update on my shoulder
I've been doing those exercises I can get my arm up here that that's not
without a little discomfort but I can get it there and I have to do exercises
to get it there I can go to the side I'm starting to be able to reach it behind
my back as the worst that hurts a little bit so I'm not out of the woods yet I
got a ways to go I can't get cocky because I keep thinking it's good but
but I can tell that things knitted up so I appreciate everybody you know wishing
me well on it but let's just be done with that I'm fine
so I'll secure on six to seven
