@giantart I usually use dry grass, you can find it summer and winther, roll it in your hands, then drop it in the burn chamber. Start tossing in sticks right away and your going. You could use cotton balls with hand sanitizer or petroleum jelly on them. Simple.
I need tomake at least two of these, as well as bigger. BSA is calling me. If one burns hardwoods (small pieces) do you get a cleaner burn?
I noticed you have the same olde pot set I have (1978). According to WHO I am told 155 degrees for 10 minutes kills all water borne, but safer (to me) is 170 for ten mins, same as pork and poultry. I was told anything that lives past 212 degrees is not harmful to us they are sulfur/methane munchers. Try Italian Wedding Soup.
But the fuel is free. I have to alter the pot standoff part so it's a little easier to feed the fire. The little pinecones I was using keep getting stuck. You know that conveyer idea might not be so bad. Hmmm.
@RJBURG I was just going to say, You really don't to have to tend these stoves very much. I think Hiram was trying to keep the flame up, but it will still warm your water just fine. The wood in the fire champer is still burning and producing heat even though there isn't flame. My stove heats water two or three minutes slower but that's okay. When I'm out in the woods and setting up camp, by the time I get back to the stove, my food or water is already going to be ready for the pot cozy.
Thanks. I try to keep the sped up sections entertaining but it hard to find music that the Warner Music Group (WMG) don't take issue with. Those clowns have made YouTube shutoff the audio or outright delete several of my vids so far. Pretty soon I have any music but what I can play on my nose flute. LOL
Good video Hiram. I like the fact that you used ground wood. I bet if your fire had not gone out in the middle of the burn that you might have gotten a better boil tiime. 6 minutes and some change is not bad though, most wood stoves have a boil time around 8 minutes so I say this is a big success.

Personally, I dont think it matters what fuel you use, as long as it's consistant for comparison testing with other stove designs.
Great video Hiram!
