DIY BB aka Gasified Wood Stove on 06/05/2007 10:32:27 MDT Print View

Originally built the Mark's Pennywood wood stove and was pleased with it's performance. However the more I read about the secondary combustion concept the more I became interested in the BushBuddy design. So I decided to see if I could build one out of available materials and keep it light and simple.
Soup can -wood burner, Beer can - sleeve gasifier, Cat food tin - riser pot stand
I cut off the beer can just below the top rim to allow the soup can to dorp inside but catch and rest on top of the beer can's top edge/lip. Next was drilling lots of holes!

Used a step drill to create the bottom draft intake in the beer can
