Future improvements

I'm pretty happy with the performance of the stove but it does burn a bit quickly. I am going to construct a variable air control for the bottom air holes and a flue damper as well - should make it last a bit longer

A downside of a small stove is that the fuel has to be fairly small to fit in and you can't get big logs in that will last for ages. It's also got limited cooking space but I didn't have the means to neatly produce a longer top plate

With the single bolt fixing, the stove does sway slightly - I see this as an advantage as I'm planning on sewing a silicone sheet into my tarp that the flue will fit into - will help in windy weather

All in all, I'm pretty chuffed and can't wait to try it in the field!
