built and tested hobo stove

[Northumbriman]

I made an excellent hobo stove using a cutlery holder bought in IKEA. It is stainless steel light weight very strong and has all the air holes built in! I just cut a feeder hole in the side and job done. I agree with beardy man though its a little pointless as an open fire is easily as efficient, eadsier to tend and you don't have to carry the damn thing in your pack. I carry a very small meths stove for emergency cooking if its wet or I need a hot drink quick. Otherwise I cook on open fires.
