Hobo Stove.

[John Fenna]

Being bored over the holiday I made myself yet another Hobo Stove.
I just spent most of today up in the woods and used the new stove for the first time (the water bottle and mug were Xmas prezzies

The Hobo was made from a cutlery drainer, the pot from a charity shop coffee can and a knitting needle. All work done with an Aldi Dremmel clone.
Cost - about £5 all told

Where is it then John, you tease?

Very nice John.

Being home made the tea will taste much nicer


Take no notice of Ivan.............hair must be getting in his eyes

like it particularly the legs to prevent ground scorch

Looks great John. I've had a one of those cutlery drainers sat around for ages for making one of these. Need to get my hands on a Dremel...

Found one of those cutlery pots in the back of the garage at work, been eyeing it up. You have now pushed me over the edge.....

Just 3 bolts and 6 nuts I had kicking around ... they improve the airflow as well

Lovely little piece of work, John.

Nice one John.

The Hobo is my favourite stove to use by a long way.

I put a post up a few days ago with my hobo stove very similar apart from the legs which are very cool. You can get the cutlery pots from asda and ikea for anyone who wants to give this a go. Good mods dude👍

Anyone know a good way to cut the strainers without a Dremel? Tried with a hacksaw but I botched it.

My other Hoboes I just used a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade...

Thanks a lot John! I have to hunt around the shed for nuts and bolts for the eldest, he is only 12 and made his first a few weeks a go, now he wants a bigger door and a proper go in the woods "Not just in the garden"

Ah jigsaw! Cheers John I've got one of those but didn't realise you could get metal cutting blades for them.
