The finished article!

I reasoned that a hot stove would melt the synthetic material of my Bergen pocket so made a heavy canvas bag out of an old seat base that I'd dyed green. This had to be sewn by hand as my sewing machine wasn't up to the job:






Then it was off to the woods for a photo session!



As promised, it fits inside a rocket pack. The stove weighs just under 5kg so is fairly portable




Carry bag held up...

The components stored inside:




The component parts:





Legs assembled - these are made from an old warning triangle that the AA ran over on the M6. They can be pushed into the earth for greater stability





Stove standing the right way up






Grate installed - this is stored the other way up to maximise flue length that can be fitted inside





Throat plate installed - this should stop heat just going straight up the chimney




Top plate installed and screwed down




Flue sections added - assembly complete!




Top is big enough to heat a Crusader style mug (but not much else):




All packed up again:




Leave no trace!:
