brazier

[bartjen 2]

Does anyone have a good working methode to make a brazier from a billy can ??

I made one from an Ikea cutlery drainer.

It's cheap, stainess steel and full of holes already.

Just cut a bigger hole in the side for fuel and put a couple of skewers through the top for standing the pot on.

I made one from some 1" x 1/4" mild steel though it does need 1/2cwt. of coalite to run best. Lit with kindling one filling will burn all night without tending, its certainly made a few winter camps in the hills Enjoyable i.e. above Sell gill on Penyghent in Feburary

A Hobo stove can be made from a billy/large jam tin/any large tin by punching lots of good size holes in it, shoving a couple of steel tent pegs across holes at the top and standing it on three or four rocks to give air flow underneath.
It will not last forever so you will get practice in buiding them!
