Step 2Next you will need forms - just like in the army...
For your first stove you need to find or to make two or three cylinder type molds. After you have built several stoves a mold may no longer be needed and you can free form your stoves.
The first and second molds are somewhere between 2" to 3" in diameter and 2" to 6"s tall with straight sides. The second form should have a diameter that is about 1/4" greater than the first form. Tree limbs, PVC pipe or even pill bottles may be used to make forms or many other similar materials.
What you are going to make with these forms are different size aluminum foil cups with the first cup able to fit loosely inside the second and the third a bit larger or not needed at all.
If you use a stick or limb to make the forms then it can be flattened on the end with edges slightly rounded by whittling, scraping on a rock or by using some other method including mental kinesis if it will cause the aluminum foil to become shaped like a cup. Be sure that the first smaller cup will not be punctured by rough or pointy edges.
The third form needs to be a little bigger or about 6" inches in diameter and around 3" or 4" in tall. Its diameter and height will be determined by the weather.
