DIY Wood Stoves

I'm a unrepentant and hopeless, do-it-yourself, tinkerer. Found this link some time back for homebrew wood gasification stoves. I've made a few and I am completely happy with the performance. So I thought I would share.

Great read. I found a YouTUbe video of a kid using a Vic SAK to make one of these.

There's a long thread on bushcraft UK with dozens of excellent hobo stove creations.

I love this kind of stuff

This guy makes one of the best one's I've seen. He's also on the BushcraftUK thread.

I like his style. All his gear has that old school look about it. No plastic handled hatchets for me thanks.

This is my DIY wood stove
Its not as clever as some on here but is very easy to make

I found an Ikea cutlery drainer and a couple of knitting needles in the charity shop

I used a 70mm hole cutter in the side and added four 20mm bolts as little legs
I'm not sure how long the knitting needles will last with a roaring fire under them as they are made from Aluminum

I need to find a pot that will fit inside the cooker

Just need to test it now
