wood stove
Made this wood stove cut from a Milo tin.
It really works great, minimum of fuss, uses just a little of dry twigs and leaves to boil up a billy. AND nearly no smoke, a little when first starting it, but once its hot, it really burns well inside.
At the bottom, the cutouts are actually tabbed inwards to allow a grate to sit on top, its a bit of that square chicken wire.
Air gets drawn in at the bottom.
Its easy to light even in a slight breeze, arranging a windbreak isn't too hard either.
I've used it a few times now, and only once did I spot a floating ember that went for maybe 1m, I reckon one could use this safely even in a fire ban, although this year there been no mention of fire ban yet, and ah summer has just started - or it supposed to have:???: 1 -Dec
Best of all this package is so light, i'm no longer going to bother taking a lpg bottle for trips I think, this thing is so much better. Fuel is safer, just carry a small bag of twigs leaves ready made for the stove.
