Hi all, not posted for a while.
I made a hobo stove from a hotdog can. For a pot i used a soup can, and this slotted inside with enough room for the heat to go up the side, plus the cans go in to each other, so less room. To support the can with water in, i use 2 tent pegs, and i put some holes in the side of the can for it. It works well and boils water pretty quick. I'm using one hex block, and wood (the wood here isnt too dry at the moment). I dont know how long it takes, i'd say about 5-10 mins, probably more 5 mins. I used another soup can to make a chimney for it, pictured here.
I didnt take a picture with the water can in.
I did use another can to make a chimney, but instead of it being a straight tube, it had the lid on with some holes in, and 3 large slots round the top. The first chimney made the wood burn real fast, and made lots of heat, but the second one slowed it down, but still made alot of heat.
Why does the chimney seem to make a dfference? When i put it on the fire really picks up.:werd:
Cheers
Joe
