I love the conduit clamps . I showed a couple of homeless guys how to build a similar version today.

So happy to see a bunch of other people with this idea. Found one randomly at Goodwill and thought this would work well.

I use this design at the lake to warm up food, working great. Also cools down really quick.

They sell the taller can at Walmart for under $4.00 .. "unmodified of course." - In case anyone doesn't have an IKEA in their city like I don't. My only quip about it is that they aren't really made for backpacking or bushcrafting. Great for camping or home use though.

If you added small grooves in the top and laid a piece if coat hanger across the top you could put a smaller cup/container on the stove. If your cup is smaller than the top of the stove it would fall into the fire. This is just a "just in case" you don't have your normal cup with you. I want to make one myself. Yours works great. Thanks so much for showing it.

Thanks for posting the IKEA links. I've tried numerous times searching their site for Hobo or stove with no luck. Didn't realize it was a modification of another product!

John that's brilliant - I'd never heard about 3-legged stool vs. 4-legged stool, but it makes perfect sense. I really like the way the conduit-clamp feet are wider than the stove for stability. Can they be loosened and re-tightened so you can twist them inward for transport and then twist them back out again when you're ready to use the stove? Also, thanks a bunch for demonstrating the burn. It's one of my pet peeves, too, when these vids show the making of a stove but not the actual use of one.

Love the conduit clamp idea. I was going to set mine on a small cooling rack but your idea is better. I’ll save the rack for the top.

Excellent demonstration. Could use stainless steel skewers crossing through the holes if the cup or pot you had to use was narrower in diameter and set it just inside the first row of holes, I suppose.

Hi, I’d just like to throw another idea at you. Use a stainless cat or dog dish from a thrift shop,drill a hole in bottom and clamp it on bottom upside down with one nut and bolt. It works I’ve done it and it’s more stable.

Great little demo, I'll have to think about those legs/feet as I can definitely see the advantage of having the unit off the ground but could be a problem when backpacking, something to ponder on!! Thanks for the vid!!

Cut four slots on the top edge take two pieces of metal cut a halfway slot on each in the middle then set them together to make a cross and put it into the four slots on the edge of the stove as an extra pot support for slightly bigger pots or a frying pan.

I like the conduit clamp idea for the feet....if you used wingnuts, you could easily turn them in when not in use

Nice demonstration.

Gosh, I have just thrown away one of those from the kitchen. Now it would have come in handy. Nice watching
