Homemade wood burning camp stove.

July 6, 2010 Camping Propane Stoves

Wood burning camp stove made out of an empty 1kg coffee can.It costs next to nothing, pretty easy to make, burns almost anything you can find in the woods (dry grass, small twigs, pine cones, etc..). The legs and the support/grill rods are removable for storage and transportation. It works great and gets a litre of water to a rolling boil in about 4-8 minutes. It depends on the fuel and on water, (and /or) air temperature and such.

    Very nice! I like the siimple design and it is a whole lot more efficient on fuel than a normal camp fore. I live in the desert, little water and very little wood to burn. Sweet little stove! 5/5

    I love the reversible idea! I have been fooling about with some hobo stoves for a little while now and I am getting ready to take ALL the good ideas I have found and put them into 1 ultimate stove idea. I will be incorporating your reverse heater.
    for now i have a basic vid that i will put as a response.
