There are countless ways to make survival stoves. They can be ultra-simple hobo stoves made from a single food can, alcohol stoves from soda cans, or more complex stoves that require some tools and preparation.

The Instructables community has some of the best examples of how to make stoves to fit every need and every situation imaginable. I spend a lot of time browsing the website to further my own knowledge on a daily basis.

So whether you want a clever handcrafted camp stove to impress your friends or you need to know how to make one in a pinch for that random power outage or night spent in a broken down car, you’ll find it here!

My favorite is the alcohol stoves. I think they are pretty cool and work well. I made one a year ago and it worked perfectly.

My next survival stove project is going to be a homemade rocket stove from #10 cans. I love rocket stoves because they burn so economically and produce very little smoke.
