Looks like I found another drill...

I did wonder why I was falling over a drill box on the kitchen floor the next day....

I suppose if I had stripped off the pics from my phone and looked a bit earlier, I would have known.

Its my er...grate, to keep the ash from blocking the vents holes I drilled around the outside of the black pot.

Yes.

The air goes in through the sides and up through all the little holes to feed the fire - I think.

WHat do you take pics of when sitting drunk in front of your kitchen computer?

Probably not strips of tin that are getting bent.

I read somewhere that it needs birch bark.

There was a pile of it in a plastic bag in my coat pocket as there was this tree outside the gym....

I had saved a little whiskey just in case it wouldnt light...

Some cotton wool....

Er.... no pine cones.

But, Ive got some tea stirrers and a carling cardboard crate....

This thing isnt interested in the bits of wood, but loves waxed cardboard.

I can live with that!

Think its probably losing heat with all the flames, but it is pretty.
