1-burner camp stove

[Christian]

folks, another quick one.

on our last trip through norway we found out, that our two-burner stove was a bit too much for just the two of us. on the other hand, the typical china or trucker one-burner stove sold with the plastic case is absolutely unsuitable, as it neither allows simmering, nor has it wind protection.

so I came up with the idea of putting a high-output expedition stove with large fire-ring (primus gravity III) into a self-designed aluminum case. so here it is.

the parts:


finished (almost, you know how things go):

Looks pretty slick. How did you manage to fabricate the case?

thank you. I ordered it from a metalworking company via ebay. it's 2mm aluminum (wind protection is too) and corners are welded. pretty sturdy. it's even thick enough to drive threads into the bottom for attaching the burner with M5 bolts.

Looks really good. Do you perhaps have a link for the ebay seller u used?

 

[Christian]

steinacker metall in germany. doubt they ship to ZA.

just search for such a shop around your place, you‘ve got fabulous shops like alu-cab there, what I envy a lot!

actually I'm not LOL :D

but I learned car mechanic as a job ages ago, learned welding too (though not aluminum). hence why I love working with real stuff from time to time.

I know (at least I read) that there is a partner steel 1 burner stove around. but it is so hard to get them over the pond, and then all the hassle with regulators and adapters, bla bla bla. and lastly the costs. that's why I made this, all in all just some EUR170 :-)

still trying to figure out how to tear the original burner apart, design a mount, and put a grill on top.

but, works flawless anyways.
