*flame suit on*

So I had this idea the other day to go along with a hobo stove a coworker had made and let me borrow. Why not a hobo pot! ....for boiling water... :redneck:

It was super easy, I'm sure this has been done before by campers alike, but i wanted to share my uber discovery. But I think it

Went up to Greenwater yesterday snowmobiling and there was a guy up at the cabin who had a little hobo stove like the one in the picture but he had a sweet little setup to make some coffee, worked kind of like a still it was pretty cool.

:haha: Thanks, I was in the process of building one! :fawkdancesmiley:

Thankfully that's nothing like the one i'm building or have pictured. :awesomework:

As we all know, I like to over-think and over-build things even though a simpler solution is clear. :redneck:

Here are a ton of ideas for hobo stove methods and designs.
