This time I've made a small stove to burn wood chips using what I think is the wood gas method. This is my first try.
Sorry I didn't time it because the handful of wood burned much longer than I expected, more than 15 minutes. At the end all I had was maybe a teaspoon of ash.
If you want more info let me know.

    I like the heat of home charcoal better that a wood fire. The smoke smell is driven off earlier and you get almost pure heat. I burn my charcoal in a small clay flower inside a tin can with holes for air. The clay pot has no soot stains on it and looks new. The tar vapors are driven off when the charcoal was made and all thats left is clean burning carbon. It will burn down to almost %0 ash.

    Nice! and if it runs for 15 minutes or so thats enough time to boil a 3 to 5 minute egg or just water in general to make a stew or soup or tea or coffee, good stuff! =)

    it looks as if after the major flame dies down everything in there is just charcoal, so your stove is extremely efficient. you see almost no smoke how it should be really

  • Your design is nice ...

    Your design is nice for many reasons. 1- The re usability of the cans, which can be purchased at any food store. 2- The fact that the most damaged part, per use, is the inner can. If it gets burnt out, simply pop it out, get another, drill the holes, and you're rockin' again. I made my inner can from a corn/vegetable can, a very universal size. 3- If ported right, I have found that feathering a few sticks can be enough to light it with. The drafting seems to really get it going.

    Thanks. One of the changes I want to make is removing the standoffs. I thought they would work like a tripod but they get loose from the heating so I'm going to try something else.
