I finally field tested this little stove I made out of some pieces of coat hanger & an old Tuna fish can. I used the side cutters of my multi-tool to cut the coat hanger "grill pieces" to size 7 the pliers to bend them once they were placed in the top holes. I poked 6 holes in the top of the can along the rim with the awl from my Swiss Army knife, 3 on each side across from each other; & a series of holes along the bottom to draw in air. Used it with a Tryoxolene Tab & it heated up a small container of water just fine! Also it only takes about 10 minutes to put together. :cool2:

Nice job. It's always nice to make field improvised stuff.

These little stoves can work very well indeed. I think Rick just wrote a post about 3 stoves he whipped up and tested.

Bigger ones, though. I like this little guy. As long as you understand the basic mechanics of draft for the fire you can convert just about anything, I guess. There is so much junk to found almost anywhere that you can have a stove going in no time built from trash along the trail.

Nice job, Sarge!!!!
