IKEA tea lights, at least 9. Take one old oven/grill shelf. Find 3 short lengths of wood, around 2" thick.
Lay these out in a triangle on the table/cooker top.
Light tealights and place in a circle inside the triangle.
Put oven shelf on top.
Boils a kettle in 20 minutes

Glad to see the really important things (tea) are covered
I keep meaning to get a kelly kettle but I'd so rarely use it I keep putting it off.
Bad prepper.

Re: DIY stove - very simple
they may not be the top of your list, but the kelly kettle's are way cool for boiling water with sticks.

I got it from a girl on a moneysaving forum - I was so taken by it that I used one for weeks and drove the OH mad he had to apply half an hour in advance when he wated a cup of tea
Re: DIY stove - very simple
I did something similar during the floods here, used a deep baking tray (one that you would cook a chicken in) put 5 tealights at one end and the same at the other then put cooling rack over it and cooked tinned food and boiled a camping kettle.
