A gas stove can be found in almost every kitchen. It's hard to imagine cooking without this device. In addition, there are even camping gas stoves that you can take with you on any trip and not worry that cooking will be problematic.
And, if you make a gas stove with your own hands, then its cost will be much lower than that of factory devices. At the same time, such devices work no worse.
Next, we will tell you how to make a miniature gas stove with your own hands. We will understand what materials and tools will be required to work.
What is a miniature tile for?
Many of us love to travel, and each outing involves not only setting up a tent or friendly gatherings. Hiking in nature is rarely possible without making a bonfire for making kulesha or fish soup.
But, it is not always possible to make a fire. Sometimes, rain or other factors can interfere with this. For such situations, you can build a camp gas stove from improvised materials. Make a simple homemade job is not difficult.
But do not forget that gas is a flammable substance, therefore, maximum care must be taken when using it.
A miniature gas stove will become indispensable in camping conditions when you need to quickly boil water for tea or coffee
It should also be noted that the do-it-yourself gas stove made by yourself should be small in weight and size. Next, we will consider some of the most popular home-made gas stoves.
Option No. 1 - a plate for a summer residence
Few can boast of having a centralized gas supply in a country house, which at times complicates the ability to cook food or boil water for tea.
But, if you have the skills to work with gas welding equipment, then to make a home-made gas stove for a country house is not difficult.
To build a homemade product you will need to prepare:
- thick metal corners;
- flexible gas supply;
- shutoff valve;
- gas burner from the column;
- welding machine.
First of all, you need to build the body of the future stove. To do this, you need to cut a metal corner into 8 parts, their dimensions will depend on the desired height of the stove. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the rules for performing welding work.
Further, by gas welding, the building of the future stove is built and a gas burner from the old column is welded to it.
Such a stove will be a great alternative to the factory version. It can be put in any convenient place, both in the house, and on the street
Next, install the hose and shutoff valve. To do this, with the help of an adapter we connect the gas burner with a shut-off valve, and then, using a flexible gas supply, we connect the stove with a gas cylinder. At this stage, it is very important to take care of the tightness of all connections.
Now the plate is assembled, and you can begin to test it, after checking the tightness of the joints. The easiest way is to lubricate all joints with soap foam, if bubbles appear, the connection is not tight and you can not use the equipment. If everything is in order, then you can start using the stove.
If no corners were found on the farm, then round metal pipes of small diameter can be used to build the base of the tile. For resistance to them from below, you can weld an old car disk.
Be sure to remember that at the end of the use of equipment, it is necessary to shut off the gas, both on the device itself and in the cylinder.
Option No. 2 - a tile from a can
Many travel enthusiasts have probably heard and used such a device as a camping gas stove.
They are a lightweight portable burner with legs, and work from a gas spray. You can buy them at any store selling travel accessories.
Marching gas stove will be a real salvation in the rain, when it is not possible to make a fire from firewood. A small gas bottle may well be enough for a family weekend in nature
The only drawback of camping tiles is their cost. Therefore, we propose to assemble a marching gas stove from improvised materials with your own hands, especially since any home craftsman can do it.

To do this, we need to take a can of condensed milk and make 4 holes in it with an awl on one side, evenly distributing them along the edges, and on the other hand, one in the middle. Turn the jar over the container and wait until the condensed milk flows out
At the next stage, we increase the hole in the bottom of the can using a drill No. 10 and rinse it. A copper tube will be inserted into this hole.
To bend a piece of a copper tube without deforming it, pinch it on one side with pliers, and on the other, fill it with sand, tamp it tightly and squeeze the second hole with pliers. After that, you can safely bend the tube without fear of deforming it. After bending, cut off the curved edges and pour sand
To do this, you need to take the needle from the medical syringe and cut it off, leaving 4-5 mm to the base. The edge after cutting can be filed
Using a drill, we make three holes in the copper tube and insert our nozzle into the tube, after putting on the silicone tube on it, which will serve as a sealant
That the tube did not stagger, it needs to be strengthened. To do this, cut a piece of aluminum strip of the required length, drill a hole in it for the tube and rivets. Insert the tube through the hole and fasten it with rivets to the jar.
For the legs, you need to cut off three more pieces of an aluminum strip of 37 cm, give them the necessary shape and use rivets to attach to the jar. To make the legs as uniform as possible, it is better to bend them not one at a time, but all together. In the upper part of the structure, in a circle, pierce with an awl 16 holes, trying to keep the distance between them as much as possible
We connect the gas spray to our home-made device and turn it on. If everything suits you, then you can leave it that way. If you need a more powerful flame, then you can increase the number of holes in our makeshift burner
Step 1 - prepare the foundation of the future stove
Step 2 - drill a hole in the can
Step 3 - bending a copper tube
Step 4 - making the nozzle
Step 5 - building a tile burner
Step 6 - Attaching the Gas Mixture Tube
Step 7 - making tile legs
Step 8 - gas stove test
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in making a gas stove. The main thing to observe safety measures when working with gas equipment.
Option number 3 - camping gas stove
If you are used to traveling by car, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the following version of a homemade gas stove.
This is a more bulky design than the previous version, but with the help of such a tile you can cook food much faster or boil water in camp conditions.

Before you start using a home-made device, you must definitely check the joints for gas leakage. How to do this was written a little higher.
Option number 4 - camping tile from the pipe
It’s easy to build the next version of a marching gas stove with your own hands.
To do this, you will need quite a bit: a piece of a metal pipe and skills in working with a grinder and a welding machine.

First you need to take a piece of metal pipe with a diameter of about 12 cm, a length of 30-35 cm and apply markings in the form of denticles on one side
Armed with a grinder, we cut the teeth on the marking on one side of the pipe. We try to make them as identical as possible - the stability of the structure will depend on this
You can skip this step if you took a piece of the new pipe. If the pipe is old, there are traces of rust or paint on it, they must be removed using an grinding wheel. This must be done, since when heated, the paint will melt, and emit unpleasant odors
From the edges of the pipe opposite the teeth, we mark six holes at the same distance from each other, and then drill them with a drill with a diameter of 10 mm
Next, you need to drill a hole for the gas burner nozzle. We make it with a drill with a diameter of 20 mm, slightly lower than the holes drilled earlier
Taking a metal rod, we make a holder for a gas spray from it and weld it to the body of the future tile
Before using the stove, you need to check it for stability. To do this, put it on a flat surface, and put a saucepan on top. If the structure seems unstable, it is worth aligning the serrated edge a little.
After completing all the previous steps, insert the gas burner into the holder and proceed to test our camping stove

When working with a welding machine and grinder, it is imperative to adhere to safety regulations. If there are no skills to work with such equipment, then you can order the manufacture of blanks in the workshop.
Option number 5 - gas infrared stove
Fans of traveling in the cold season will definitely appreciate the option of a gas stove, with which you can heat the tent.
To work, you need to take the following tools and materials:
- gas bottle (200 g or 5 l);
- oxygen hose at least 2 m long;
- infrared gas burner;
- clamp;
- a screwdriver;
- gas nozzle;
- snap ring.
Choosing a ceramic burner in the store, it is worth giving preference to small models. They consume gas much more economically than overall devices.
Since it is very difficult to make a ceramic gas burner with your own hands, it will be better if you purchase this device in a store
Having prepared all the necessary tools and materials, you can proceed to assemble the device. To begin, connect the nozzle to the inlet of the gas burner and fix it with a snap ring. Next, we connect the oxygen hose to the nozzle and tighten the clamp tightly with a screwdriver.
Then we connect the second end of the oxygen hose with a gas cylinder and also fix the connection with a clamp.
Homemade gas stove is ready. In order to ignite it, you need to open the gas and bring the match to the gas burner.
Such a stove can not only heat the tent, but also cook food on it. To do this, you need to put two stones on the sides of the burner, and put skewers on them, making an impromptu burner
When using such a device, be sure to follow the rules of safe operation.It is forbidden to leave a working device unattended. You also need to remove flammable things away from a makeshift gas stove and do not forget to periodically ventilate the tent.
Rules for safe use
When working with gas equipment, do not forget about the rules of safe operation. Improper use of the bottle may cause an explosion or fire.
In addition, home-made gas stoves are devices that are fraught with a latent threat, so you need to be very careful when working with them. Even at the design stage of homemade work, care must be taken to make everything clear according to the instructions.
Do not neglect the check of connections, since even the slightest leak can lead to sad consequences.
The most common way to check gas equipment for leaks is to lubricate the connections with soapy foam. If it does not bubble, then the equipment is in good condition and you can start using it
If you are not sure that you can make a really high-quality device, then it is better to purchase a gas stove in the store. Factory devices are subject to mandatory certification and control, therefore it is much safer to use.
How to make a powerful gas stove from pipes and a burner from a geyser will be discussed in the following video:
Another way to build a gas stove yourself:
As you can see, it will not be difficult to build a gas stove even for a novice home master and such a device will cost much cheaper than the purchased option. This will require a minimum set of tools and materials, as well as some free time.
But, do not forget that homemade gas equipment is fraught with a latent threat, so it is important to handle it very carefully and do not forget to cut off the gas supply at the end of using the device.
