How to make a camp stove - Not Lightweight

Here is how I made a camp stove.  A stove that you can use to cook meals in camp, with wood fuel, instead of trying to sit a pot over an open fire.   I apologize that these aren't a step by step, I did parts of this over a longer period of time due to being so busy.


Step 1:  Ikea Utensil Cannister

2 Large bolts to provide support - so your pot or kettle doesn't fall in.

Dremel with cutting tool - make sure you check with the hardware store - this had to cut through stainless steel

Cut holes big enough to get fuel in. 

I could have made the holes larger but decided against it.

The purpose is to reflect the heat inward and get hot very quickly.  This allows you to cook efficiently. 
I'll have more reviews after its first heavy duty camping use. 

But this thing is heavy, so I don't recommend it for backpacking.
