A home-made stove-trowel is lightweight and compact in size, and therefore it is useful if you often go out of town. On it, you can quickly boil water for tea, cook delicious scrambled eggs with sausages or instant noodles. In general, you will definitely not stay hungry with such a camping stove.
For the manufacture of a miniature stove-trowel, simple and affordable materials will be required: profile trim for the installation of drywall 60 mm wide, as well as rivets for connecting the main structural elements and pieces of an aluminum tube.
Work sequence
If the profile was cut with scissors for metal, then it is necessary to trim the edges with a grinder or a file. On two sections of the profile, we cut off the curved edges, so that later they can be joined together. Using a drill with a diameter of 4 mm, we make holes for the rivets that will hold the legs of the stove.
Further on these profiles, it is necessary to make bends, so we cut off the side parts with a grinder. Then, on four-millimeter rivets, we install legs made of aluminum tubes cut to size. If desired, threaded bushings and cogs can be used together.
In the upper profile, you need to make cuts on the sides to make a bend. The design is almost completely ready - it remains only to fasten all the elements of the stove with rivets, and then conduct a "field test". Unlike open designs of camping stoves, this design is notable for the fact that it does not smoke dishes.
To summarize
A homemade stove-trowel weighs little (about 200-300 gr.) And does not take up much space in a backpack. Of the main disadvantages of this design, it is worth noting a low efficiency, compared with similar furnaces. However, in the process of cooking, all dishes remain unopened, so you do not have to clean it.
Please note that it is advisable to use a profile of 80 or 100 mm for the combustion chamber. Of the main advantages of the stove-chipper, you can highlight the simplicity and speed of assembly, as well as the availability of materials and tools. Such a contraption is useful when relaxing in the forest, fishing or hunting.
