I’ve made a few Hobo stoves and have used them a fair amount. Am always looking at new ideas but watch these videos on YouTube for a new take on them, or rather a new way to obtain them..... IKEA hobo stoves ........ enjoy, Todd

no links that i can find
Those look useable, but I always preferred the rocket stoves, which seemed IMO to be a civilian Dakota Fire Hole taught to us in the Army.

I think you are talking about the IKEA container that holds kitchen utensils ??? Stainless with 1/4 in holes in it... cut a square in one side and put 4 bolts on bottom=hobo stove ...
Yep that’s it exactly!! I like seeing “stuff” getting used and re-purposed for other duties! ToddQuote:

Done right they work great, I like them because you don't have alot of flame/sparks above ground level. But they can be hard to build in certain terrains such as sandy or rocky ones. But they (rocket version) can be build as in the video, or with cinder blocks.Quote:

Set it in an old pie tin, drop in a handful of twigs, short squeeze of hand sanitizer, or bug spray and a quick zap from a ferrocerium rod and you have fire. Just right for cooking a couple of hot dogs, or making a cup of stream side cowboy coffee.
I also have a home made alcohol stove from a pop can that can go inside if fuel outside is wet.
Light weight, not a terrible space waster, and effective.
I also like this little guy which I made a couple of improvements to.

I added a paper clip pin to prevent opening the door to cause the whole stove to collapse.
And a couple of copper ground wire pieces for the top to make it less tippy with larger pots.
I like the looks of this one, at 17$ pretty affordable. Have not tested it yet. Give me a month.
Its packed for the big adventure trip to Arkansas.
Arkansas has a lot of nice backwoods river wildlife areas. Dewitt has a really nice park too.
