Hi,
I find the woodgas camping stoves fascinating. Back to the roots, with
modern skills. It started with the
http://www.garlington.biz/Ray/WoodGasStove/. For my own purposes, I
sucessfully constructed one (from junk, of course, 1 hr. needed). See:

Personally, I recommend not making a stove out of wood. It won't last
long.

Longer than one out of gas. You must freeze it to build it, and it won't
survive the first test.

What size cans are you using? #10s? Coffee can?

Just check the link (http://tinyurl.com/ls8zdf). It's all there, with
pictures and with dimensions in millimeters.
I could not make use of some excellent instructions found on homepages from
U.S. because the canned products and the sizes aren't known here. The coffee
cans I know are made of cardboard, so we are on the same topic brought about
by you in your earlier message;-).
My instructions should work for any two bigger cans which are of exactly the
same diameter (approx. 100mm) and one smaller one for the combustion chamber
inside (approx. 74mm), as they do show an easy way to center the combustion
chamber inside the outer casing, resulting in a closed two-wall stove.

One of the U.S. instruction homepages make use of one can of paint and
another can which would fit and stick exactly inside the outer without
rivets, welding or screws but again, I believe I would not be able to buy
them and anyway, it is less work to eat two portions of ravioli than to
paint the house, for emptying the paint can;-).

All size of cans and all instructions seem to provide small volume for wood
pellets, so I am considering to bolt two cans together to make them longer
by approx. two inches, for the outer casing as well as for the inner
combustion can. This should almost double the fuel supply batch.

Sorry for my limited command of the English language, btw.
The web page, however, is bi-lingual german/english as well as I could
accomplish.

Looks similar to the charcoal starter. I have used charcoal starters
to keep warm. No flames either with charcoal.

Trust me, your English is much better than most born and raised Americans.
