Homemade stoves are a very popular hack, you can find a zillion videos on YouTube, mostly on alcohol stoves, and they work great. less common are butane fueled stoves, but [Thomas Kim] has uploaded a video on a incredibly easy and low-cost butane stove.
Like lots of other diy stoves, the body is a soda aluminum can. After sealing the top side with aluminum foil, you just need to drill some holes in it. other needed components are a metal tube and a syringe needle that acts as flow regulator. [Thomas Kim] makes an interesting fixture that is attached to the can and lets you control the pressure on the can valve and adjust the flame of the stove by means of a couple of screws.
The stove works great. It is a great and basic project if you want to start experimenting with these stoves. safety is crucial of course, working ventilated area and secure the butane source from heat (in this case the feed tube keeps it away from the burner). Some other projects you may find interesting are this easy rocket stove, or even this project to make your own briquettes from waste materials. take pleasure in and stay safe.
