Folding TLUD woodgas stove

[Rasputin]

Made a few gassers over the years and they worked well on pallet wood but in a wet woods they failed to perform so I gave up on them. Anyway after seeing a Zelph stove I thought of giving it one more try. Been meaning to make one fo ages and finally got round to it on Monday, It weighs 11 ozs and works well on pallet wood, will try it soon in a wet woods. It does gassify as you will see in the pics so twin wall isnt need as Zelph said ! soz photos not loading, I'll try again l8r Dont know whats going onstill wont upload the rest of them Arhhg

"KISS" - keep it simple stupid.

I made one from aluminium sheet which also gasified when I added more holes to create the right circulation but yours is so much simpler.

Ah yes, the materials !. I wanted 1/2" ss but all I had was 1" galvy but it works. Tried to find some on evilbay..... best I could find was going to cost £40 ( had to buy a sheet Doh ) it works out 1/2 the weight in the stainless.... Que sera, C'est la vie an all that ,atb Ken

I notice from the pictures it's galvanised steel, I am sure you are aware that the fumes are extremely toxic, even outdoors you don't want to be breathing any smoke until it's thoroughly burnt off.

Nice job, looks like a good one

Never knew wood-gas stoves could be made to fold - well done .
Good point, Tiggy...
