How do I buy or make a wood burning stove. - 07/13/08 12:27 PM
I saw the post earlier about using a woodburning stove and would like to buy or make one, which ones are better and where do I get it or the plans to make one.

http://www.csun.edu/~mjurey/pennywood.htmlI've made one but haven't had a chance to test it yet. I've made the same designer's alcohol stove, though, and loved it. This wood stove is, I think, simpler and easier to make (and lighter) than the others out there.

Do a Google search for "wood burning backpacking stove" or 'stoves' (the results are different if you use "stoves" plural) and you will get lots of sites with either ready-made or home-made stoves.
Zen Stoves has almost 30 different homemade designs on their site.

I suggest a basic coffee can hobbo stove to establish as a baseline. Then improve from their as you see fit. Personally I don't think fans are neccessary. A drinking straw might help for starting. Haven't tried that. If you just want lots of boiling water, the Kelly Kettle is very hard to beat.

You havent mentioned what you want the stove for - if this is a backpacking
stove to cook on, as mentioned, search the archives, and the aforementione link
to the penny stove is a good one. (I've built that one, and it does work)
If you're looking for a stove to heat up a tent, well, that's a very different kettle of
fish.

There's also a thread in the backpackinglight.com site under the Make Your Own Gear topic that has a couple of different homebuilt inverted downdraft woodgas stoves. Check that one out?

The "Wings" stove archive has a lot of stove models to build, including wood stoves.
http://wings.interfree.it/html/main.htmlThis is also a great link organized by stove type.

The Bush Buddy stove seems to be considered the Cadillac of the wood burning BP stoves. So far
these instructions are some of the better ones I've seen for a replica of the BB.

I've made two from this web site, only specialty tool I needed was a Dremel, but you could easily get by with tin snips.
