how to boil water with minimal twig fire in a hobo stove

Anonymous Fri 09 Sep 2022 17:05:26 No.2457881 View View Reply Original Report

am too stupid. it gets hot, but as soon as I put the pot on it starts to smoke badly. So I have to let it burn down to coal. But either way it's not enough to let water boil. The pot can contain about 1 litre of water. Help me please

you didn't read the cooking thread.... poor sweet summer child... the anon shilling these wood stoves on this board said he's never gone backpacking before only kayaking. make a supercat or fancee feast and don't listen to children on /out/ again.

ah I got it, drilled more holes which didn't do much. But I changed my technique, filled it up with cut down twigs first and let it burn troughly, then put pot on. Refilled only one more piece of twig at a time so there'd be always a fire burning. After 4 pieces one after another it started to boil. I had to innitially lift up the pot for a short time for each new piece. So I guess I require a stand regardless even with the thing I put on already

20 minutes? Maybe a bit more. tried out a contraption with sturdy wires, but it's not level, so I guess best way is a seperated stand with 3 same sized standers slightly higher than my hobo stove. Looked trough some junk I have lying around, nothing fits. Don't want to buy or weld some piece of shit together, rather do it hobo style.

that's a dumb question but is there a way to check if the steelware I have is suitable for putting over a fire? I have never cooked anything in the open, so I've put a bunch of the steel things I own on my gas stove with water inside, nothing happened. am I good for putting them over a twig stove?

you mean the cooking ware itself? I just use this old steel pot. Just try it out and keep in mind it's gonna get smokey, your pot will get this ugly patina and will smell like your clothes.

I cut 4 slots into the top, maybe it's enough for airflow while a pot is on

basically if your fire is smokey, it needs more air/more time to start burning properly.
those are very small stoves for a wood fire imho. it will take a long time to boil water and lots of re-fueling.
>>2459110
Personally with such a small stove, i wouldn't bother with the internal can, maybe there is some rocket-stove mechanics i don't fully understand but just holes in the can for air, fuel ???? PROFIT!

gota chink solostove clone i bought for 1/10th of the solostove price, it's about same size of the "titan"
only used it a handful of times but it isn't instant like using gas, even in the dry hot summer i still burn down twigs until i get a red hot smokeless ember bottom before i put my pot WITH WATER on
it's basically a bonfire in a box if you put your pot on too early you'll get smoke soot and a fire that's choking

Isn't a bit of fat somewhat good to have in a survival situation? Just a bit of plump like Ray. It's an energy reserve as well as insulation in the cold.

Ray aside, if you look at bushmen in the middle of the Amazon rainforest or Africa, Inuits, etc. they're not built like people who hit the gym, they have a normal amount of fat. Actually none of the hardcore /out/ people on the planet look like zero body fat fitness types.

I like to think of the soot as a tactical, camouflage, survival coating on my tactical steel cup. Picture related.
