The Pop-Up Two Buck Stove
Lanny Henson, November 27, 2007


Check out my new stove.

This is 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 the 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 at 150 grams per use, 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 oak limbs. It burns bamboo a little too fast which creates fire in the gap and more smoke.
