forced air woodgas stove
This is pretty much the finished version of my forced air wood gas stove.
It'll work fine without the fan, but it burns more consistently, cleaner and hoter with the fan. It's made out of a 32oz Heineken can, a common pork and bean or vegtable can as the inner burn chamber, some aluminum flashing as a fan shroud, and a 12-volt CPU computer fan being run on eiter a 6-volt AA pack or 9-volt battery. For now, other then punch a few more holes in the inner can / burn chamber to keep it from clogging on long burns I'm happy with the results and intend to live with it for a while, starting with a trip this weekend.

mmeiser2 says:MrEd, took it bike touring this last weekend.
I didn't get boil times before I accidentally
melted it down. I tried to butress it against
a log that was dry... the log caught fire and
without the ability to disappate the internal
heat the whole side of the outer can just
melted. I guess that's the problem with
using a fan.
mmeiser2 says:BTW, was certainly big enough for long term
burning. I was amazed to find I could sitck
a cunk of wood in it as big around as it and
produce good long heat for an hour or so.
Thus... it was actually lower maintence then
a regular fire. Would you like to comment?Sign up for a free account, or sign in (if you're already a member). |
