[Stoves] The Pop-Up Two Buck Stove

The Pop Up Two Buck Stove

Please view the first prototype of the Pop Up Two Buck Stove, a compact, 
clean burning, wood fired, natural draft design. I have use easy to learn 
methods and inexpensive common materials, so the design will be one that an 
average person could learn to build.

150 grams of wood boiled a liter of water in 18 min. and retain 21 grams of 
charcoal.

150 grams of bamboo cooked 1.1 kilos (cooked weight) of rice.

This is my first prototype of the Pop-Up Stove and I am pleased with its 
performance. I am especially pleased that the Side Supply Burner works with 
such a short draft height. It does take more skills to operate being so 
short. You have to know your wood and tune the burner to it. This would be a 
bigger problem if large quantities of fuel were being consumed but since so 
little is used, maintaining consistent fuel would not be as big a problem.

I am going to make some improvements to #2 so that it will pack better, and 
build a separate burner for bamboo. The burner that I am using is tuned for 
pallet oak and dead fall hardwood limbs. It burns bamboo a little too fast 
which creates fire in the gap and more smoke.
