Just for you I demonstrate my homemade stainless steel Hobo Stove cook kit. Hobo's never had it this good baby! I also talk a little hobo history and hobo social order while we listen to some blues.. My hobo stove is made from a stainless steel stock pot that I purchassed at a local thrift shop along with most of the other items that make up my hobo stove cook kit.

  • That's just down right clever. A fellow would need to first find his big fire pot and then take a tape measure with him to the store to find the rest but it could easily be done in one trip.

    Nice.

  • @donteverlietome Thanks!

    I found the fire pot, the cooking pot and the fry pan in the same thrift shop on the same day.

  • great vid,,inspired me to have a go at making one,,can you explain a bit about the plastic tube for distilling water?

  • @jimmydenham When you heat water to it's vaporization temperature it forms steam. Steam rises or is pushed towards lower pressures. As it travels the tube, the steam cools and condenses back into water droplets. Those droplets drip into a catchment container on the end of the tube that's not connected to the heated container. The plastic tube works, but the amount of energy used to distil water is huge for a very small gain. Distilling water doesn't remove some chemical contaminates.

  • @Ophoo5 Hi!

    I can't read the bottom of the stove any longer to see if it had a mark but the stove is 10" in diameter and 8" deep.

  • @CrypticCRICKET Great stove!...I was wondering, to get a better idea of size, how many quarts did the outside main stove part hold before you cut it up and modified it? Also, how many inches across? Thanks Cricket!

  • @CrypticCRICKET ahh ok i see after closer look it looks like the tube screws onto the lid of the boiling pot,,so i imagine you could boil water that is not fit to drink and collect the condensated water,,good idea,,thanks for your responce

  • I get you. Thanks for the tips. Great video.

  • but i would just use a wooden spoon both for cooking and eating, better yet if you made it yourself

  • this is genius, great kit
