Great looking stove. I do like your idea of using a coffee can as your stove can. I do see where it will clean out easier than the one I made. Which you do know what THAT means? Back to the garage. LOL.
Thanks for posting the pics.

Re: Homemade Wood Stove
No problem UL, and good luck. It wasn't hard to make, I just had no idea where to start. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Can't wait to see your new one. One word of advise. Put more venting holes than I did. If I use a Heiny pot, the fire goes out because the top opening adds to the chimney effect and helps with venting. A larger hole in the side for feeding the sticks should fix that problem, or you could put two 1"x3.5" holes on opposite sides. Just a though, and good luck!

It may be a little while before I can get to it. I'm nursing a really bad jellyfish sting that I received as a parting gift while in Mexico
, so my right leg is not allowing me to do much more than just sit around for the next few days. But as soon as I can, I post my results.
Thanks,

Re: Homemade Wood Stove
just make the stove while you're sittin in you recliner. No big deal, just get the drill, a recipricating saw, and whatever else you need, and you've got it. Good "get well soon" project for yourself! Haha...

Interesting woodburning stove design
This stove was mentioned on another site. It looked like it could be simply reverse engineered and possibly down scaled.
Thought you DIY guys may be intrigued.

Re: Homemade Wood Stove
Thanks HBH:
Unfortunately, the kellykettle in the link is quite a bit bigger than the woodstove that willky and I have made. The kk weighs 17 oz., while the ones that we made weigh slightly over 6 oz. and is only about 8" tall.
But thanks for the link.

Re: Homemade Wood Stove
That was why I added the part about down scaling. Theirs was large and appeared heavy built. 3-5 minutes boil time on a wood stove was impressive to me. Not that I am usually in a hurry at all when BPing.
Re: Homemade Wood Stove
Sorry, HBH:
I mis-read your post. Thought you said it had already been down-sized. My bad.
BTW, I'm getting about a 6-7 minute boil time out of my WB stove.

Re: Homemade Wood Stove
No Problem. Those are impressive boiling times. How much have you used it. Is pot sooting a problem? Hard to get going in a fog or mist where everything seems to be soaked? Do you carry a small bottle of alcohol or something to "boost" the starting?

Re: Homemade Wood Stove
I usually carry some cotton balls with vasaline on them. They're light and they burn long enough to get everything going. It doesn't take much wood so all the cotton balls are there for (I think) is to dry out the little sticks enough so they will burn, and then you just keep adding wood to keep the process going.
Sooting isn't really a problem. In the beginning it was, but now the pot is stained black and there isn't much soot build up at all.

HBH:
The first time I used this stove was when we had several inches of rain the night before we started a hike and it rained on us, off and on, during the first day. That evening I found some dry tender in an old hollow log and broke several damp twigs into small pieces. I used a cotton ball dipped in alcohol gel to get things going. Even with the damp fuel, the stove did great. It boiled the water in that 6-7 minute time frame and worked like a champ.
After I completed the stove, I started a fire in it to burn out the plastic film that lined the stove can. Once I did that, sooting of the pot can has really not been an issue. I keep the stove in a mesh bag and put it inside my pack and have not had any ash problems, etc, getting on my gear inside.
This is my main stove when hiking here in Arkansas, so maybe I can show it to you on a hike sometime.
