Light weight wood stove for bbq/campfire/stewing etc

In the past I have used a plastic bottle which I wrapped in an old gauze bandage which in turn was coated in some silicone sealant I had left over. Flexible but could take rough handling. Now my meths bottle goes inside my volcano stove so its well protected.

Mad I have
A vango folding gas stove (fits inside a half litre kettle)
An emergency solid fuel stove
A meths stove
A humungeous homemade frontier stove type thing (for the tipi )

How many methods do I need seriously

For when you run out of meths

Hi Tallywacker,
If your interested, I have the pdf of the plans for "Nimblewills Nomad stove". You simply print out the plans, stick to your chosen metal (or alloy) and then cut and drill round the lines. Its my next project. You can enlarge the pictures if you want a larger version. PM me with your email address and I will send them to you.

Having a lid does kinda help

I tend to to use those barbecue firelighter blocks I do have a meths burner but don't use it that often always worried I'll wake up and find meths all over everything. ( not good with the morning ciggy )

Get yourself some bio-ethanol and that meths smell will be a thing of the past even if you do spill it

An interesting challenge and target you have set yourself there.

Of course I'm going to promote the Honey/Hive and the features it offers. The grill which comes with it will certainly hold 3 pans and the shape does help to keep the main heat in the centre and the lower heat at the four corners.

However as an option to give you more surface area for pans and BBQ, which not leave the large grill and replace it with the compact folding grill? Inexpensive price and as you can see in the photos it sits over a Hive stove.
