Alright today on Repairs101 I�m going to
show you how to make your own camp stove for
burning biomass fuels out of a few old cans
and a couple of dollars worth of hardware.
So I collected some tools to cut up a bunch
of cans I�d collected and a five to four
inch duct reducer.
I drew up a clock-face pattern and started
cutting C shaped vents into the shorter coffee
can.
I placed holes at twelve, four and eight o�clock
for mounting pins.
Then I cut some V notches in the reducer to
act as retainer tabs for the cage wire grate.
I
shaped the cage wire into three individual
grates.
I
dropped the bolts in loosely, fit a washer
over the lip and torqued them down.
Then it was D vents in the combustion chamber
slash diffuser and a few Vs on top.
Next I cut down a soup can for the fire tunnel
and a tomato paste can for the exhaust.
Then I used a little acetone to clean that
green paint off.
Then I just had to cut everything to fit.
I
put three sheet metal screws in to hold the
combustion chamber/diffuser firm and then
I cut them off so that I wouldn�t get cut
myself if I reached inside.
So then I matched up the position of the mounting
pins and drilled them out.
Then I proceeded to fit the fire tunnel and
the exhaust pipe.
The pins mount through the corresponding holes
and the fire tunnel connects the cooktop lid
to the combustion chamber / diffuser.
Biomass fuels are things like wood, charcoal,
plant waste
and dung.

Pretty cool. But how do you get ash out once its done cooking whatever?
this is really good, thanks for sharing!
I love that little stove…but a bit to complicated for this girl.
Um what diameters of cans? Reducer info it was a blur
Not 2 shabby…
