Tin Can Rocket Stove - Start<br />
by assembling a variety of tin cans.<br />
Preferably one soup can, one coffee or<br />
paint can, and one large tomato sauce can.<br />
Take the paint/coffee can and trace the<br />
diameter of the soup can at the bottom.<br />
As clean as you can, cut the hole at the<br />
bottom of the large can. Repeat this with<br />
the medium sized can. Cut the bottom off<br />
the soup can and push the can through<br />
the hole you’ve just cut in your large and<br />
medium sized cans with the medium can<br />
sitting in the center of the large can. Fill<br />
all around the sauce can with sand or<br />
gravel. Place tinder in the soup can and<br />
ignite. Flames should exit the top of the<br />
sauce can. Continue stoking fire as needed.<br />
Place a grill on top of the can and your<br />
rocket stove is ready to cook. TIP: You<br />
can buy empty, unused paint cans at your<br />
local paint store and they come with a lid<br />
which helps keep your stove contained for<br />
transportation.<br />
