A canoe tripping stove

What’s New

A little wood-burning stove suitable for canoe tripping.  The simple construction is clear from the pictures. The front and back press into place behind flaps riveted onto the sides. The pieces are designed to nest together and fit into the box. As with all sheet metal stoves, the pieces tend to buckle a bit. I seal the bottom with sand poured along the seams. The original model had a fire door made from the piece cut out in the top, but it never seemed to do anything useful. The sheet metal was cut out with a sabre saw and the angle made by hammering over a piece of angle iron. It is important to file off any sharp edges.  A beer-can chimney can be pressed into the hole at the back.

It was inspired by the pictures of Song of the Paddle, and has served me well.
