Thats just class ...

That's really nice, I like it.

Always preferred gas bottle stoves when they are laid down flat instead of upright and the spit looks great.

That's a work of art. you must be very pleased with it ) Well done.

i make these paper bricks and burn them in the (scorpion)stove.(just a name i gave it because of the shape)and if i need wood i have made a saw for that too[IMG][/IMG]the press i made for the bricks is a lot better than the small metal ones (blisters on hand type) and a lot less effort too.[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

That is absolutely amazing! Well done and I really like the press too!

[workingdog]

some really impressive DIY there, that stove looks fantastic. i presume that the top plate is detachable/interchangeable is it? ie one for the griddle one for the spit?

and i have to ask, why four bolts on the press when there's only two tabs on the tube?

[British Red]

Stunning stove - I'm really impressed - you could easily sell that!!! It is far superior to most that I've seen

[workingdog]

in answer to your first question,yes the plate lifts off for the spit,i put spuds inside in tinfoil and a tin of veg on the hot plate near the flue,a chicken(duck, rabbit) on the spit,and the kettle on top of the flue,dinner served!!!!second question.two of the bolts have collets on what happens is i put the tube on the lower bolts (against the base plate)first to press all the water from the paper.then lift press and turn the tube to the higher collets(second pair of bolts)to push the paper brick out of the bottom of the tube.hope this helps.thanx,workingdog

cheers for that mate i'd spotted the collets but not realised that they're at different heights, neat idea

[workingdog]

hope this pic of the build shows you,this is the higher position to push out the brick.[IMG][/IMG]

[Spikey DaPikey]

Top work there fella

[workingdog]

when i dont want to cook on wood stoves i also have a few of these little stoves,this one i take with me in my camper for those night outside,runs on paraffin so smells a bit,so i made the tin box for it,notice how the folding legs on the stove fit between the pennys to stop it moving,the kettle, fuel ,stove and bit all fit neatly in the box.[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
