Step 3Be Your Own Hobo
We're going to make the hobo stove seen here.
The license plate is optional, but something like that, even a folded piece of tinfoil, will be nice so you won't harm the surface under your stove.
This stove is tall and narrow, so you'll need to pound three sticks around it to support your pot, or put it between three rocks, or hang your pot over it.
Get the tallest can you can find.
You need height for convection to give you good airflow.
This coconut juice can is good. It's tall and the steel is pretty heavy for a drink can so it'll last a while.
Food cans had lead solder in the joints until 1993, so don't use old cans.
Pineapple cans have zinc plating inside in case you think you need to breathe more zinc.
