How To Prepare a Hobo Stove for Outdoor Cooking

If you have to flee… this simple little stove made of tin cans could be a life saver. A variation on the brick rocket stove I showed you here, it’s lightweight and inexpensive.

Detailed instructions are in the link below. It’s a bit of work, so definitely something you’d want to prepare in advance… but something to consider.

This instructable will show you how to easily make a functional rocket stove from recyclable cans for almost no cost.

(Excerpt)
Items you will need:
1 – No. 10 Can (Standard restaurant size can. Mine was a pineapple chunks can from a local pizza parlor. They gave it to me free.)
4 – Regular soup cans (Standard 10.75oz Campbell’s Soup cans)
Insulation material. I used Perlite. It’s cheap and available at any garden center. I had it on hand for my garden. You can use sand, dirt, ashes, foam, any insulator.

Tools:
Tin snips
Hammer and nail (to punch starter holes)
Pliers (makes bending the metal a little easier, but not totally necessary)
File
Gloves
