Stove In A Can

Product Description

Stove In A Can is a new, all-in-one patented cooking platform that makes the ideal recreational and emergency stove. Perfect as a heat source, for cooking in emergencies, as a food storage companion, as a lightweight and reliable camping or backpacking stove, for cooking burgers and brats at the tailgate party, or simply for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows in the backyard. Stores safely long-term for cooking or boiling water when an emergency hits and power goes out - an essential component of any food storage / preparation plan. Not subject to legal storage limits like propane and gasoline. Fuel cells do not "bleed off" or decline over time like propane canisters. Simpler, sturdier, more weatherproof, and more durable than traditional propane or canister stoves. Unlike gelled alcohol (Sterno, etc) stoves, Stove In A Can burns like a wood campfire - hot enough to boil water quickly - and unlike tablet fuel (Esbit, Triox, etc), Stove In A Can is not made of toxic chemicals. Environmentally friendly - the packaging IS the product; can be lit, used, extinguished (by placing the lid back on the can), and re-used multiple times. Fuel cells can be partially burned, extinguished (with the lid) and easily re-lit. Soot from cooking remains on the inside of the can while the outside remains clean - unused fuel cells and metal components can be securely and portably stored inside the can after use and then used again later. Because the Stove In A Can is not an "open pit" fire, it can often be used where campfires are not permitted. Works well in windy, rainy and sub-freezing conditions. Fuel cells can be completely submersed underwater for multiple days, removed, and lit immediately with ease after merely shaking the water off. Fuel cells also serve as amazing fire starters in extreme weather conditions. Will support up to 300lbs.

Perfect for emergency kit
by Mike M (5 out of 5 stars)
October 28, 2011

I have been slowly putting together a 7-day emergency kit and had decided to go with MRE style meals or freeze dried. I decided on freeze dried but then needed a way to heat water. Did not want to get a full-on stove so I ordered 2 units of Stove in a Can and am loving it. Did a test as soon as I got the unit and it works just as advertised.

Great EMERGENCY stove
by Wolf (5 out of 5 stars)
November 19, 2013

Very prompt service, arrived 2 days earlier than earliest estimated delivery date.

And on the product itself:

Pros:

Well balanced unlike many other survival stoves. (You can always dig a little pit for added security)

Waterproof to keep the matches and fuel dry even if they are waterproof that is comforting because even waterproof matches need a dry strike pad.

Fuel and matches are waterproof for double protection against storage gone wrong.

Wind screen actually works for any winds short of ones that would push the can around and flip it over.

Fuel cells are wood and wax which will burn smokey as hell (even more so if you put some small sticks and leaves in it to keep the fire going longer) but other than that are great as they will never leak or spoil and once again are waterproof.

Instructions clearly on the side so even if your emergency renders you unable to operate any bonehead you are with should be able to figure out what it is and how to operate it.

Cons:

A bit heavy and bulky. Not something I would take camping. I would go with the pocket rocket or a full sized gas stove and grill depending on if I was backpacking or driving.

Not the best cooker but hey a flame is a flame and it will get you there eventually.

I put it in my jeep in case somehow I get stuck in the winter I can just crack a window, set this down on the metal floor, and light it up so I won't freeze. Also in case the gas in my house somehow gets knocked out it is nice to know I have this.

Inexpensive survival type stove - dirt T
by Braddster (2 out of 5 stars)
April 3, 2015

Came dented on the entire side with no indication on the external box it was shipped in. One of their people had to have put it in the box that way. I had not opened it until recently but had purchased in the fall. Dent is where the lid is and pretty big. It has a paint can type lid you pry off. This makes it very hard to re-seal. Must be exact. Make sure you use in open space. It is inexpensive though so can't complain too much but can't send back either. Be prepared to fight the soot - everywhere.

Bigger than I thought!
by Dawna (4 out of 5 stars)
December 26, 2012

So I saw this and thought this was such a great idea for camping or power outages. It'd be a whole lot easier than carrying a grill. This thing is bigger than it looks. I was surprised. I haven't used it yet, but it will be in my outdoor tub in storage. I do like the size. You can put a really big pot on it.. but if your going to use a small pot, you may wanna put down some sort of rack for the pot to sit on

Great for emergency kit in car
by Lainna (5 out of 5 stars)
October 7, 2013

This thing is way to large to carry camping if you're a backpacker, but this is a very neat and easy to use system that I keep in my car. Set up is easy, I love the bricks. The lifetime shelf life is a super plus and can be broken into smaller pieces of other uses. I highly recommend it for those that might be in a bug out situation and have your car with you. Extra water, food, clothes and this thing would make you really comfortable until help could arrive.

Big enough to burn your brows off
by Bee (4 out of 5 stars)

I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as big and heavy as it is. Definitely better for group camping than just a couple, as the flame is huge. That said, the fuel pucks work great in smaller camp stoves when broken up.

worked well. I was surpised. Off the subject but just in case - - if you're camping in the dessert do not expect to find any sticks to roast marshmallows. No trees --> no twigs. Plastic forks did not work either.

Clean. No. Able to relight fuel disc. No.
by Evil Bucket (2 out of 5 stars)
October 10, 2014

Just dont like this Stove In A Can.

The fuel seems to be good for burning so I am not commenting about how well the product cooked.

My review is more on the what the fuel did after I used it and how bad the smell of the can was when burning the fuel.

I ordered this October 3rd 2013. I just got around to using it October 2014. I tried it out on a camping trip. I love trying out little kits like this and took with me 3 different cook stoves. When I lit this all seemed well at first but shortly after placing a pot on the stove the smell of the burning paint was a bit much for me. I was in the woods with very little wind but this was starting to make me sick. I removed the pot and put out the fire. After the stove cooled down the outside was very very soot covered and flaking paint. everywhere. I figured I would just dump out the stove, clean the outside and try it again the next day. Well the fuel disc fell apart and made a big mess. Good thing I was outside and using this on the dirt.

I cannot its okay when the item description states how clean it is. I understand there would be soot but the outside of the can was really bad with soot and burnt paint. Also maybe I got a bad fuel disc but I would not agree that it can be easily re-lit when it was just a pile of mush on the ground.

After all this mess I just picked up the can scooped the used fuel disc back inside the can and dropped it in the dumpster.

I may keep buying the fuel disc but not with the intentions of being able to relight the fuel and using them in a different can.

Cheap price when you will really need it. Do not count on the government being there for you when the earth destroys your life. Storms, hurricanes, earth quakes, floods, long power failures; it all happens, Plan On It ! Your family will need you to do the right plan.

PS: Get some extra fuel
