Woodgas Can Stove

Step 5 Drill the top holes

Drill holes into your dots, all the way down to the bottom of the unibit. Let the rotation, rather than the pressure, do the cutting, or you'll get some buckling.

I built the stove!. Great instructions.
In the inside can I made two rows of holes on the sides and did a fair amount of perforation on the bottom.
I am definitely getting wood gas burning. However, I am also getting flames deep in the can.
I think I have too many holes in the lower end of the inner can. Is a large airy area in the bottom of the can too much?

May we have actual hole sizes, please. Irwin Unibit #1s aren't universally available outside of the US of A.

The actual hole sizes are given, albeit in our funky, fraction based Imperial "inch" system. For those of you where things make more sense, let me interpret the runes:

1/4" = c. 6 mm NOTE: don't make holes this size, use:

3/8" = c. 1 cm for the inner bottom holes and the windscreen and:

1/2" = c. 13 mm for the inner top holes and the outer bottom holes.

Hope this helps!
