The New Twig Stove Maiden Voyage

Description

Well I made a new version of our old Twig Stove and I love it, it is just great!! For 1 good handful of twigs as fuel you can cook a meal of Ramen or Freeze Dried food. The stove is only about 6 oz in weight and the whole interior can be used as storage space in the backpack. By 3/15/10 we will have available on our website detailed plans and instructions for making your own Twig Stove. http://wildernessinnovation.com

all right perry peacock with wilderness innovation here to fire up the new Swede stove the new version here see how it works cook something up here this is the trial run and what I'm going to do here first of all of us I'm going to do is get this bundle of bark here I'm going to shove this shavings magnesium down in there I'm going to fire South little sparks into here okay okay now we're going to shut that down into there

and you notice as soon as I soon as I threw a little bit of air on their turn down the little fan by this thing just took off pretty well here if you look down on the bottom of their that thing is just thing is this blazing hot very quiet and just a small amount of air here is enough to just really turbocharged us stove I'm going to go ahead and put some water on here and all right I've got a cup right here from out of my survival kit I'm going to cook me up some hot chocolate it's pretty good right there I'm going to set it on top of this little cooking grid here tell you what that is hot that is really hot down in there I can cut off getting here if I can hear the the water just kind of sizzling in there in that cup I forgot to show you the little feed hole over here so you in off you're an area where you have kind of a shortage of wood and stuff like that why it doesn't take doesn't take much to get this thing going and with these flip out pot holders or whatever you want to call it a grade or grill or whatever that water is already steaming that's not bad i mean we're talking about two minutes and i've only got i've only got twigs in the bottom the twig layer is only about this tall and about that call on the bottom here so i mean this thing is not you know not even close to being you know filled up with twigs so let's just barely just barely going in the bottom so I mean I chose you to you don't have to have a big not to have a big huge fire anything like that to make this thing work get my spoon over there and the pack but I have to mess with the camera fight okay now right now at this point

that is still that is still hotter than blazes and all we're cooking on is Cole's now we've uh let me grab the camera this is pretty cool because you see if you look in there there is no flame whatsoever all we've got is just the glowing coals being being fanned up by the by the air blowing out of there so we're kind of flame flame free but it is it is hotter than blazes so I'm going to cut this off for a minute and turn it back on when I get a little closer okay so see here I've got just some little short pieces shoving them in there like this I mean this takes almost takes almost nothing to this thing to go now one thing about it is if you get you get a good bank of coals down in here fired off first then you won't even have to feed anything else it'll just it'll keep those coals just glowing red and you'll be able to cook smoke free so there we are going pretty nicely and it's very quiet I'm real happy with that alright where we've been about four minutes here and this stuff is going to be too hot to drink if I don't start drinking it now but there you go the twig stove in the new version and then it really works nice i'm real happy with it so that's the twig stove perry peacock just loving life out here and have a great day bye
