Lanny's Simple Camp Fire Stove

Stove Friends,

Check out my simple stove that is made from onlt two parts. The first part is a metal 5 gallon bucket. The second part is a piece of chimney pipe. A flanged hole is installed into the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket to fit an 8-quart stockpot. Flanges bent over a slot attaches the chimney. Tabbed holes are cut for fuel feed and air intakes. This stove can be built with a knife and a pair of pliers. It took me 35 min to build the first one. I built an open fire then set the stove over the fire and coals. I fed sticks into the slots and adjusted the airflow until it sounded good. In my first attempt I boiled 6 Qt of water in 12 min using moist sticks for fuel. I may add a third part to seperate a combustion zone from the pot.
