    Question hobo stove advice please

    Hi there,

    I have been looking for a good design for a dog tin hobo stove. I have searched the site and just seen a few glimpses of them on videos.

    Does anyone have a good template or instructions. I have bought a coffee caddy, some brake cable and a large dog food tin and now all I need is a bit of knowledge.

    Not sure whether I should make a wood gas stove or just a simple hobo stove first.


    Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.

    Mike

    Thanks for all the advice and videos.

    I have now got one large dog food tin, two cutlery pots and a couple of coffee cadies and best of all a few days next week to make some hobo stoves.

    Might even make a few more pop can stoves too!!
