Kia Ora my fellow bloggers,
What is a hobostove?
A hobo stove is a style of improvised heat-producing and cooking device used in survival situations, by backpackers, hobos, tramps and homeless people. Hobo stoves can be functional to boil water for purification purposes during a power outage and in other survival situations, and can be used for outdoor cooking.
We got a big tin from my Dad and put holes at the top of the tin for air to flow through it. We also cut a hole at the bottom for air to reach the inside of the tin and to give oxygen to the fire. A smaller tin was used on the inside so we could stack sticks and small bits of wood to fuel the fire. We also used methylated spirits to help start and ignite the fire to cook our eggs.
Have you ever used a hobo stove?
Put it in the comments below :D
