That's a great idea!
It's a piece of stove pipe that has been flattened and drilled, then folded.

so true
yup. mines was the same one with COFFEE wrote on it... can't see it now though as it's all black
Personally I like the idea of those double wall woodstove burner things. You can make them with two different sized cans and some appropriately placed holes at the bottom on the outside and near top on the inside. There is a whole sicence to this as it involves secondary burning of the volitles from the wood where the inner holes are (heated air from between the two walls joins the volatiles from the wood ...
So on and on according to many other forums I've visited. I once heard of a canoe touring holiday company using the drum of a washing maching for a type of fire/stove.
Not sure these count as hobo stoves though, just thought I'd contribute something even if irrelevant.

My tumble drier has a stainless steel drum.

I went for tea, perhaps its because I don't drink coffee.
these all look fantastic and im now searching for an old thermos flask to hack to bits, but until then i went traditional and made mine from just what i can find in the bin and my pocket knife. so far it consists of some old wire, 2 tin cans, some screws (to rest the pot on) and holes. its not quite finished yet but it works. when i have finished perfecting it i will show you it in action.
I don't really fit in here as I don't make stuff but have bought the honey stove instead. Does that count as a cheat's hobo stove?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! :You_Rock_ and so does the honey!
You might want to consider adding to this thread though....

my "traditional" hobo stove:
the stove is in the middle, then the boiling tin to the right and saucepan with lid to the left and grill in front. this took about 15 mins scavenging through the recycling bin and 30mins to make all the stuff. everything tastes a bit metallic but i managed to cook 3 bits of bacon, a sausage, an egg (in two parts, i suppose traditional hobo's use pigeon eggs) and a cup of tea. everything tasted a bit metallic and had bits of ash in it but oh well, im happy with it! now i need to find an old thermos flask.

That metalalic taste probably means the metals used to make the tins are leeching in to whatever your cooking and the ash is probably the coating they put in tins these days,think i will stick to stainless and alu pots.
