That's really nice, I like it.

Always preferred gas bottle stoves when they are laid down flat instead of upright and the spit looks great.

i make these paper bricks and burn them in the (scorpion)stove.(just a name i gave it because of the shape)and if i need wood i have made a saw for that too

some really impressive DIY there, that stove looks fantastic. i presume that the top plate is detachable/interchangeable is it? ie one for the griddle one for the spit?

and i have to ask, why four bolts on the press when there's only two tabs on the tube?

Stunning stove - I'm really impressed - you could easily sell that!!! It is far superior to most that I've seen

in answer to your first question,yes the plate lifts off for the spit,i put spuds inside in tinfoil and a tin of veg on the hot plate near the flue,a chicken(duck, rabbit) on the spit,and the kettle on top of the flue,dinner served!!!!second question.two of the bolts have collets on what happens is i put the tube on the lower bolts (against the base plate)first to press all the water from the paper.then lift press and turn the tube to the higher collets(second pair of bolts)to push the paper brick out of the bottom of the tube.hope this helps.thanx,workingdog

That is an awesome stove, a work of art.

I did wonder at the thread title though.

"Spit"? He's used spit???

Doesn't he know that's gonny evaporate? :D
