[ian_glover]

following the hobo stove thread i got busy in
the garage.

and ive just finished my first DIY stove.
it only took me a an hour and made it from an old biscuit tin, a tea bag tin and a few tent pegs.

Ahhhhh......The trusty biscuit tin!
Good work there Ian, I did a pretty similar thing myself, but used a 12cm Zebra billy. As Lannyman said, it'll probably burn much better with more holes, and will give more of a 'chimney effect' heating the sides of the billy.

thanks for the feed back guys, ill stick some more holes in it tomorrow. im really pleased this came out good, just need to work out how to get a fire going well as it took abit of time and i had to re-light it twice.

If you haven't invested in a blowpoker yet, that is the very next step imo. search this forum for them. , I wouldn't go too mad with the holes and I would tend to keep them low down. If there are too many holes it will burn very well but will get through fuel quickly.
