Good Hobo (Trail) Stove

I made a hobo stove for camping, but for the price, this is hard to beat. Runs on wood so you'll never be without fuel. I ordered one and am very pleased with the stainless steel material and build quality. These are a great preparedness item to have on hand.

I thought about going the wood burning route but decided to build a pressurized soda can stove instead. The stove itself weighs a little over an ounce and the fuel is another 4oz or so depending on how much you decide to bring. It's ultralight and will boil 16oz of water in roughly 8 minutes.

When I was looking at these kinds of stoves before the one that I really like was the emberlit one. I like how it folds flat and you can keep feeding it wood through the bottom. He is making a titanium one that I am not sure is worth it or not.

Titanium is always worth it

Nice design, I like that fold flat model too. http://www.co-ar15.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24143 here are some other good designs.

Found this heavyweight on Sportsman Guide. Coming in at 2 pound, wouldn't be for a backpack; but maybe a car.

Why wouldn't you just cook on the campfire?

Efficiency, wind resistant and circumvents burn bans.

And sometimes you don't want to be found.

It DOES circumvent burn bans? When Jeffco had a burn ban, we got in trouble for having a fire in a grill at a local park.
