Good video production. Good information and a great demonstration. Just avoid encouraging damaging living trees. Scrap that cedar bark from a dead tree.

Excellent video on how to go about making a small fire for cooking. I like you stove. Well designed and it seems like it works quite well. Thanks for the demo.

In a survival situation, that tin would've been better left intact. You could've cooked food and boiled water in it. It also would've been useful for gathering foliage and collecting water.
GIT THE HELL AWAY FROM MY TIN!!!

lotsa thoughts on all this, but pretty cool. i suppose one would have to be somewhat careful here, i can see "Adding more Sticks n' Kindling under our very light, delicate and probably "wobbly" little Tin, there in the fire. and of course, our precious little water cup on top. would suck in one's hands bumped or offset said delicate little arrangement there in the pit. which brings me to Point #2: i heard your "ouch" as you touched the cup there. gonna need an Ovenglove i imagine huh?

@drumdude46 Because of the way it's cut, the lid tin sits pretty snug, hence the need for the flu flap. You can stabilize it better by digging a 6 inch hole in the ground and setting it inside. I often cover the base in dirt to make it more stable. The fire under the stove is just to get it lit since you feed it through the flu so it doesn't need to breath. Ya, those ceramic covered cups stay pretty hot for a while. I use copper now because it cools faster.

@gabemjr Bark was dry, branches were wet. It had rained the night before and was just starting to dry.

Tin cans these days have a lining of bisphenol A inside them.

@DARTAGNANS170 It gets burnt out the first few minutes it's lit.
