so so costs too much it's not a big deal all you need is a number two tin can and I'll show you how to turn this thing into a hobo stove on the cheap welcome back into town friends as always it's good to see you so Stoker here and today I'm going to show you how to make a hobo stove on the cheap all you need is a number two tin can just like this bad boy right here so what is a hobo stove so you know a little bit of history you know it wasn't but maybe a hundred years ago ninety years ago when the world economic system absolutely collapsed in half and the whole world and especially the United States entered into a Great Depression and people were forced to be really creative with what they were doing with their money you know just to put food on the table and take care of their family and their loved ones of course it wasn't just during this period of time where people had to be a little creative because they didn't have the cash flow even people now sometimes we live beyond our means sometimes we just don't have enough cash it'll go out and buy some of the things that we want or whatever the case is and so we need to be a little creative and so in comes the hobo stove now the hobo stove is really just a poor man's stove I'm going to show you how to make two different versions today one's gonna be a stove and then we're gonna make a grill out of the other one and then out we'll make some coffee and make some eggs or something but all you need is a number two tin can these used to be super popular is that how you get all your coffee and stuff would come in but you can still find these you know in the grocery store today you know maybe it's peas peaches pears you know tomato sauce whatever it is restaurants use a lot of these I've got two and I didn't buy either one I pick both of these up at the defect which is a for those of you all who are not in the military hadn't been in the military its military mess hall so I'm all you need is a some number two tin cans and a can opener we need to make some air holes in these things so let's move this over to the bench here and we'll make two of these things and then we'll go out and put them to use this one here will be our stove right and then this one is gonna be our grill you can put a grate over it or you know and I think in the case of the day I'll either do that you know get a little creative I'll cook some eggs in this thing no big deal so what we need to do with both of is we need to let's we need to control some airflow so this will be our stove so what we're gonna do here is we're just going to take this can opener so my can opener just broke but you know what that's alright because I had to go to the store and went ahead and bought me another new heavy-duty one we'll get this project back on the road no it's crazy interruption right in the middle of what I was doing but you know what happens when life hands you a bunch of lemons you don't just make some lemonade you go to the store and you get some meat to put on the hobo grill let's get back to this right so just finished getting some holes up in this bad boy it's not a it's not science and now we got some air flow up on the top and we need to place obviously get some fuel in so I'm going to make a quick starter hole here a pair of shears alright so for our hobo grill right we're gonna grill on top of this this is going to be open so what we need are some airflow holes on the bottom yeah we'll do the same thing we'll make a little opening here all right so as you can see man it takes like literally next to nothing to make one of these things you just want to make sure you can control the error you know I have some air flow gum and in and out and you could always take some pliers and you know dress these things up these of course they're not gonna last forever the metal is steel but man wouldn't an easy thing to put in the back of your truck or out on the back porch you know and why do these things work so good let's go find out and we'll talk some more story I see you can use any kind of fuel source that you have for the grill I just got some fat wood going right now to get ice I got some charcoal burning in that and over here we're just gonna use some hard wood for get the fire going for our water man this is gonna be amazing I like my mouth is already watering waiting for this thing I'm so glad my can opener broke right water stove and a grill gets going we'll get this meat seasoned up no rats water's getting close I'm gonna dump some coffee in this guy oh man that steak smells delicious getting close getting close man this is uh start to smell good that's going good that's going good no right she's been boiling for a little bit now pull this off for a second check on the meat she's starting to get there enjoy half of this coffee while uh steak keeps on cooking cooking with gas today all right so one of the reasons why these are so effective because they manage the heat really well keeps everything really contained as opposed to just cooking over an open fire where your heat is going everywhere and you can't control anything so these are really good you know obviously again you know they're not gonna last forever the metal is thin but you know occasional use it's gonna work like a champ good side on using Hobo stove is you're not gonna get a bunch of black barks and you know sit on your pots or pieces or whatever words on the grill you will oh that's so good alright let's tear open into his first ones to which it looks like oh yeah no nice and bloody [Music] man that's good man that is just downright good Emily let you go I'm gonna finish eating the steak and cooking up this other one leave some comments down below let me know what you think about throwing in a hobo stove or a hobo grill and your own kit bag you know again you can do this project for you know five bucks maybe seven bucks if you got to go buy a new can home I do appreciate the time we spend together talking about stuff like this and you know doing what we can to get back out in the woods and enjoy the time that we have paint if you haven't already done so make sure you like it subscribe
