in today’s video we’re testing out a
comment asking if it’s possible to boil
water in a wooden bowl
all right we’ve got a couple of wooden
bowls and we’re gonna try boiling water
in them the problem of course is that
wood does not conduct heat nearly as
well as say a metal bowl which is what
you’d normally want to do this in or
maybe glass fit we’re in the microwave
woods pretty uncommon for boiling
doesn’t conduct heat well it’s a little
bit more insulated so it’s gonna be a
little bit harder for that heat to
transfer through and maybe it’s so
insulated even that the outside washer
like catch on fire or something like
that before it gets the water boiling so
the question is if we can get the water
to boil without the bowl burning up and
disintegrating here’s the basic idea we
are going to try and boil water in our
wooden bulb first on the electric burner
then on the propane stove and last in
our Forge first let’s try it on an
electric burner all right we did not get
water to boil on our electric stove
maybe it just doesn’t get hot enough it
burned quite a bit on the bottom it did
never really light on fire and we got
water that started heating up like
there’s steam and was even I think some
little bubbles down at the bottom it’s
very hot water but it definitely wasn’t
boiling water so I think we need to step
our game up now we’re gonna try the
propane stove as a comparison with this
propane stove I want to try a metal bowl
and we’re gonna time it we’re gonna see
how long it takes for it to boil in a
metal bowl and then compare that to the
wooden bowl after if it will even boil
in the metal bowl is it bad that I’m
hoping this doesn’t work just so that we
can like the foundry I have a very cold
it’s a metal bowl it’s gonna go pretty
quick I suspect that is a decent amount
of water and so it does have a certain
amount of energy it has to take before
it gets to a boiling point but it’s
already making little bubbles right at
the very contact like the bottom of the
bowl I think it’s gonna go pretty quick
oh wow you say that’s boiling that’s
boiling that looks like boiling water
two minutes and 48 seconds it took for
that to hit full boil that’s pretty
quick yeah all right now we see if we
can get the water to boil or if we just
have a bowl down fire or maybe like the
top will be on fire normally when you
put anything that contains water in the
fire the edges might burn but the water
it waits until it evaporates until the
material itself starts to burnt so we
could get a fire up here we could get
scorching on the bottom but I don’t
think the sides are gonna burn that’s
just not going to happen find out there
we go it’s a lot of fire and it is going
up the sides of the bowl quite a bit in
fact some of those yellow flames I
believe are the bowl catching on fire
so we’ve got a bowl on fire yeah but
that doesn’t mean this isn’t going to
work with paper cups I have seen it you
put a paper cup and you fill water maybe
with an egg in there and it burns the
edge like it burns down to the level of
the water because what keeps burning is
all the heat going into the water
instead of thing on a cup itself but on
this top rim around it which definitely
looks like it’s lighting on fire
that’s the lacquer I think we’re burning
the lacquer coating right now it does
kind of smell like that yeah this
doesn’t smell like a wood burn this is a
definitely a chemical like lacquer burn
here but it’s also down at the bottom
yeah we the wood is like cracking stuff
down at the bottom so down there
actually that’s true
this is a glued Bowl this isn’t like
carved out one piece so if we crack
apart whatever’s holding the bowl
together it could just we might want to
move away all right well can I just
point out that this looks like the
Goblet of Fire something for Harry
Potter because it’s like a bowl that’s
on fire so anybody have a scrap of paper
the flame is definitely going out from
where it was burning the bull but look
there there are bubbles forming on the
sides the bull I don’t know if that’s
gases expanding through the sides of the
bowl or if that’s actually from the heat
of the water know what I’m loving here
is you can actually see this charred
edge and then down below you’re still
seeing that beautiful wood finish not
only a charred edge but as you said it
is a bull that’s been glued together and
it’s splitting apart so we’ve just got
he’s very even sections going it’s
looking like a flower with petals I
wonder what would happen if you just set
one of these bowls on fire would it just
like boom out we definitely are not out
of oil yet no I can still put my hand in
[Music]
well it’s been 31 minutes and Counting
yeah we are over half an hour remember
it took two minutes and 48 seconds to
boil in our medal bowl and over half an
hour
a lot of the bull is burned the bottom
of the bowl is just like made of embers
the inside of the bowl the lacquer is
actually starting to bubble up meaning
the whole thing is starting to separate
yeah you talked about I wasn’t wearing
gloves yes these aren’t very insulating
but there’s still some protection if I
didn’t have gloves on I wouldn’t be
putting my hand in that but the fact
that I can still put my hand in there
for several seconds I don’t think we’re
that close to boiling yet I think we
need to scale it up one more time we’ve
got our foundry we’re gonna try a couple
things first we’re gonna use a lot more
heat because that thing puts out a lot
of heat in the second we’re going to try
filling the bowl all the way and it
might be counterintuitive thinking like
Oh more water it’s gonna be harder to
boil but it should insulate the sides so
less of the bowl burns up we’re gonna
this is much nicer I like this much more
this is better plenty of roaring heat
coming up at now I expect it’s still
gonna burn the outside of the bowl and
the nice part about this is that we’re
gonna get an on being heat all the way
around and just from the heat coming off
of the top I think that’s really gonna
help oh there we go there’s our lacquer
there and and I’m sure some of the wood
lighting already on the inside we’ve got
that ring of bubbles forming so but you
can add a black ring around the top I
think our lacquer on the inside has
already begun to melt all right we don’t
have the same kind of oil that we did
with the metal pot but we do have water
boiling weirdly it seems to only be
boiling on one side we’re more of the
heat is directly going it was centered
originally but for some reason has
started to settle over to one edge and
the other side just isn’t boiling as
much so it’s very much where it’s right
in contact with the fire we’re getting
this frothy boil and less than
the amount of time that we spent on the
one with the propane burner so yeah
yes it’s boiling we did it we made it
happen so a rolling boil that’s what
happens when the average temperature is
hot enough that it will evaporate and I
don’t think we actually have that we
have something you could cook in I think
it is boiling and you could cook with it
but I don’t think we have the same type
of rolling boil where the average
temperature to evaporate because it’s
only boiling on the side with more heat
directly blowing on to it but it’s less
than half the amount of time that it
took to even get this to start bubbling
and there was more water so I’m call not
all right this is probably gonna fall
apart but let’s see if we can pick it up
oh it’s soft still bubbling that to me
means we really did it because the water
is still boiling our bowl actually is
basically on fire down here so it’s
still putting heat into the water so
Nate was hungry and it’s lunch time and
we have some boiling water mmm chemical
water well well Nate makes lunch I’m
gonna try and pick up the bowl that we
had on the propane burner I’m curious to
see if it’s gonna hold together so right
now you can see there’s ash in there the
varnish has bubbled and pour this out
real quick I think mostly this point is
just steaming because it is freezing in
here but you can see the varnish that’s
just bubbled up off of this bowl now
let’s look at the bottom Nate look at
this I got this one that’s you oh wow so
you can see you’ve already the heat
difference here that’s a pretty cool
looking bowl honestly it’s also much
lighter weight right now a lot of the
mass we sent out to see if you can boil
water in a wooden bowl and yes it turns
out you can it’s just horrendously
impractical in a survival situation if
you didn’t have a metal bowl you would
probably have to stick a wooden bowl
right in the center of a fire so and I
don’t think you’d be able to do it too
many times before your bowl got used up
there are traditional methods of boiling
water in flammable containers by like
taking a hot rock out of a fire and
putting that into the water inside the
container but we were trying to actually
just boil it the way you boil stuff in a
bowl or a pot guys that’s it for today
but you know we’ve always got more for
you to see that box up at the top will
take you directly to our last video you
should go check that out the other box
shows you what YouTube thinks you should
be watching next give that a click as
well if you hit this ball in the middle
you’ll be subscribed to our channel that
way you’ll never miss out on a video
don’t forget to ring that Bell and we
will see you in the next one talk to you then
