With the upcoming Granger Meat and Potatoes Hunt, I have a project I've been wanting to build. I thought I'd knock out a wood gas stove to take and try out. I'll add more later about the principle behind the stove and how it works. For now I'll get going on this project.
Here is what you will need for starters:
A quart paint can from Home Depot or Lowes
A Progresso soup can or a pineapple can
A chunk chicken can
I would suggest starting with the quart paint can so you can take it with you when buying the other canned items. I happen to already have the chicken and pineapple cans at home and they are the perfect size.
I prefer a side cutting can opener. I used this to remove the bottom from the paint can.
I did the same for the pineapple can.
I will need to drill a lot of holes in the cans and need to back up the cans from the inside so that they don't bend. I grabbed a scrap piece of wood and I'm machining a radius on one edge. This could easily be done on a sander but I had a machine here not being used. I'll enclose another picture of the profile when it's complete. I'm making it to mate up with the ID of the pineapple can. 3.3" diameter in case you were wondering.
Here is how the pineapple can fits inside the paint can. I'll JB weld it in place when the time comes.
The chicken can fits on top like this and becomes the pot stand.
More to come...........................
