First go at a Hobo Stove.. let me know what you think.

[Dave-Jefferson]

So here is my first hobo stove.. i made this in a spare hour i had at work and i think it has come out quite nice!

Its made from a scrap bit of stainless pipe work and a bit of plate for the bottom.. i bought a 10cm zebra billy can and made the usual modifications to it..

the finished item is a bit heavy for my liking but at least it wont burn out like some lightweight ones do. i have used it quite a lot and it really does work whether i use a meths stove or just make a fire..

Here are the pics

Here is the pipework cut down to a usable size.. it just seeds marking out, cutting and grinding nice and flat.


Here it is all cut and drilled out! Just needs a bottom welding on and a bit of grinding..


Here it is all done just need to modify the billy can now..


So that's the modifications all done just need to try it out now!



So guys let me know what you think for my first attempt... could do with a leather pouch for it now


Cheers Dave!!

Excellent. Dont see why you shouldnt be happy with that.

I'd buy one if you were manufacturing? I like that it's substantial.

It looks like a round version of the SAT windshield, although more substantial - great work!

Woodgas stoves are one of my favourite tinkering projects. Have fun with them.
