Many people go on about how carrying food in tins is such a terrible thing and they are so heavy. How about we make use of the tins to make a fire to cook the grub on. The stove is made of 3 or 4 tins and is designed around a cheap and cheerful meal for two. In the example shown I am using 2 tins of whole potato, one tin of all day breakfast ( chicken in sauce, curry, all work well). Two small tins, one of mushrooms, one of sweetcorn complete the list. Not too expensive I think as a meal for two.
In the first photothe large tin has had it's bottom completely removed by a tin openercutting across the tin and the top removed but leaving the edge. Thisgives a bottom edge which is easy to cut and a top edge giving a bitof strength. The same has been done to one of the smaller tins, the2[SUP]nd[/SUP] one is yet to be done. I have also marked a line onthe large tin which is as high as the small tin is wide.
The large tin is nowcut from the plain edge up to the marked line. A number of cuts canbe used to make an opening as wide as one of the small cans. This isdone on both sides. In this way a H or tunnel is made to fitthe 2 small cans.
A rounded V shapedcut is made in both the small tins which will form the fire hole,which in turn is inserted into the large tin chimney. If wanted the2[SUP]nd[/SUP] large tin can form a bigger chimney by cutting offboth top and bottom leaving both the edges this time.
I accept that itsnot a long term device but how many meals will you eat over a weekend!!!!
