Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This is really well done. Thanks for making this, I like the video style, with the captions. I'll try this some weekend and maybe bring it along next time I go on a hike.
Stowed it's about 4" x 5" and weighs 6oz. A trip to the grocery store is enough to gather all the raw material. A good handful of twigs (maybe 1.5" long, 0.25" to 0.5" in diameter) is enough fuel to cook eggs and bacon for two.
Given its small size, it does need to be fed a couple of twigs or so every minute. It's not made from stainless steel, so over time the pot stand and grill will burn away, but it's cheap and quick to make new parts. Thus far, I've got around thirty uses out of it without issue.
Questions, feedback and suggestions are most welcome (wouldn't post here were I sensitive to criticism :-) ).
Edit: missed a couple of words
I would totally buy this off you. The one I bought for my trip last year did not work at all but I haven't given up yet cuz its such a great idea.
dude there was way too much bacon grease in those eggs
This looks like a really good design and great documentation. Thanks. I will give it a try when I get some free time!
Perfect timing! I was about to buy a solo stove (on sale right now), but I'm gonna try making this first.
Excellent video!
This seems a bit more complicated that the ones I have made.
If you use a 1 quart unlined paint can for the outer shell (about $1.50 if you buy one), then Progresso can will snap in place with no cutting nor drilling (you do remove the bottom of the paint can after drilling holes).
I don't think the grate inside is needed. I just put 6-8 holes around the bottom of the fire box can and it burns great.
I like what you have done with the cooking grate. I am still working to find the right height on that.

The sleek and compact light weight of the cans I guess willl counterbalance the extreme weight of the cast iron skillet you're also carrying lol. Just the same, very cool little stove!
Why do you believe that burns more wood gas than other things?
