Project Inspired By:

Boy scouts! My dad was the scout leader, and showed me how to make something similar to this when I was a kid, out of cardboard and a tuna can. We called them “buddy burners” and used them for camping.

WARNING:

Do not use indoors. An open flame poses a fire hazard. Do not use near any flammable or explosive material. Cutting aluminum cans will give the metal very sharp edges. Sharp edges cut skin. You may want to use gloves to mitigate any risk. This project should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

During boy a boy scout activity, my dad showed us how to make a cool project called a “buddy burner”.

We’d take an empty tuna can, fill it with rolled up cardboard, and soak the whole thing in wax to make a small portable fire, or fire-starter that would burn for an impressive amount of time.

When a beverage company approached me and asked what I could do as a life-hack with some of their packaging, this was one of the ideas that came to mind.

I adapted the cans to work in lieu of a tuna can, and used the cardboard from the packaging rolled up inside, then melted candles and poured the was in the can.

How this works, is that the cardboard acts as a wick, and as it burns, it melts the wax, soaks it up through the cardboard, vaporizes it, and burns it as fuel.

The top of the cardboard will burn, but the rest of the cardboard under the wax line will not burn until all the wax is used up.

Amazing, these burned for over an hour each. And while they can start BBQ briquettes, I found that the coals eventually get so hot they will melt the aluminum. So tuna cans would be a better choice, but soda cans can work as well. They are also lightweight, easy to make, and great for any survival kit or day pack.
