stove

[rik_uk3]

Far more than I should have even though I've drastically cut down my collection of stoves; paraffin/petrol/naptha/alcohol and a couple of wood burners.

What are you looking for?

I wouldn't ditch the hexy stove mate; it's still a good foundation for using with natural fuel sources when the hexy runs out.

Extra weight when it's dead though. It will have served it's purpose for the first few days while I can concentrate on other things. After that I can collect natural fuel and use the woodburner.

Oh right; upon re-reading I understand now!

I have a trangia stove and another meths stove,and a good supply of meths,(i swear the guy i get it off thinks im drinking the stuff) also a small wood burner. What i would love though,(but im absolutely useless at making anything) is one of the ammo box stoves you see people making,i think they're great! good heat source too and you can channel the flue/chimney out of a window.

OP, try making yourself a hobostove out of pop cans or a baked bean tin. There's a post by munch which shows him making one.

I gave the pop can burner a try last week, good way to kill an hour, i'd recommend giving it a try, save yourself a few quid if you decide to use it too.

I built a rocket stove, small(ish) light weight, built for nothing, there are loads of vids on youtube, its easy to do.

Thanks for the help guys.

Quite a few good ones there that'll look further into.

My wife thinks ive lost the plot im sure, but I think ive finaly got to the end of my buying different ones, I thought until I have tried something dont rule it out.
There is only so much you can learn from youtube.
I have always had gas stoves, from when I spent many a weekend by the side of a lake fishing, I have had an epigas alpine stove that I bought at the same time a a small kettle and the smallest frying pan, its always done exactly what I wanted, instantly.
ive now tried and made various meths burners and they are my new love, though without a supply of meths or gas they are not my first choice if I have to grab and run.
I have played with the swiss volcano stove and the hobo type stoves and made wood gas stoves, the wood gas stove being the most impressive.
So the one Devonian pointed out has got to be a must have, there is one on ebay now that has a small tray that takes gel or hexi blocks and for £22 delivered its a no brainer.
it works with a meths burner, wood/any combustable woodchips or pellets, gel and solid blocks or even bbq fire lighters and with not much fettling will take a gas burner a bit like a trangia does.
After buing one for a friend as I knew he would have more time to try it, its the last stove on my Christmas list.

They won't go 'off' at all, just make sure the cans don't get too rusty.
