It’s been a while since we’ve talked, the last time I was still in a wheelchair. I can walk again and I have about 70% use of my arm again. I’m up to walking 1/2 mile again. I may never go back to the overland hikes or miles on end but I’m not going to give up. I remember you making that stove. Love the video.
As time moves forward, Lonnie looks more and more like Gandalf. He is a treasure of the bushcraft community and we all cherish him. Great video and very informative.
Wow, this is one of the most comprehensive videos I have watched on tent stoves. I really enjoyed how you presented the stoves that are available on the market as well as the homemade ones, also the one your friend made for you. I also appreciate your sharing of the personal likes and dislikes for each of them. Thank You, and God Bless You.
This video is like a present, when you started off with all those stoves I couldn't believe it, always a channel to learn from, it's been a while so great to see a video and well done on the 350k subs too. Thanks very much.
My gosh Lonnie and Connie!!! What a well done video!!! I've always wanted to camp in a hot tent and this video answered all my questions about stoves! You two always have high quality videos and are a pleasure to watch!!! Thank you and God Bless!!! p.s. Connie does a fantastic job filming!!! 👍👍👍
@@joefkollathkollath7325 Ha ha no problem, for what it's worth it's a great comment, I'm with you, they're great and I always watch to learn, thanks a lot.
That old military stove, is a Yukon Stove. I've spent many winter nights in a tent in the Alaskan interior, being grateful for having that stove. It saved our lives many times (172ND INF). We spent Jan & Feb in tents. There's a liquid fuel carburetor that attached to that big hole top front. Supposed to be for diesel, we used gasoline more often. It lit easy, sometimes too easy.
Yes you are correct. It is a Yukon Stove. At the time I purchased that stove about 40 years ago I could have also bought the liquid fuel system for the stove and I did not. Many times since, I have wished that I had purchased it
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Maybe the liquid fuel system for that Yukon Stove could be found online. Don't know what the military uses now. I wold imagine they have moved on to something more modern. There must be some left in Alaska here or there. We had hundreds of them back then. If you find one, be sure to use a "drip loop" in the fuel line outside and away from the tent. It keeps any line or tank leak from running down the outside of the flex line to the tent floor. Could save your life (definitely your equipment). Good luck.
You are a walking talking salesman with real world knowledge and experience of Having and operating a hot tent. I really like that short barrel stove your buddy made. I still have the stove I made from your Video. It works well in the tarp shelter I have set up in the woods. Thanks Lonnie.
It is certainly fantastic to have you back Mr. Lonnie Thanks for another informative video. You and MS. Connie were definitely missed. Welcome Back. Glad to see your both well.
Thank you Lonnie and Connie. In each of your videos I learn something new me and my grandfather used to do bushcraft together we would do crawdad traps I got pinched by one when I was 8 years old he was trying to help me get it off but he was laughing to hard and so was I; It makes it more difficult for me to explore and practice survival due to epilepsy which I was diagnosed at the age 6 which I am now 15. Bushcraft and survival is the number one thing I like to do I never did care to much for technology I enjoy manual work. My grandfather had a stroke in 2019 and I had brain surgery iv had 8 different surgeries but have had surgery 20 times
Love the channel here in The Blue Ridge Mountains Of Western North Carolina. I'm almost 2,500 feet above sea level here in my little mountain holler, the only good jobs up in these old mountains are mining quartz which I do 7 day's a week. I love learning and your channel is very informative, up here we teach our children to adapt and survive on what you can hunt or catch in our mountain streams! We have never had much a new house, new car and so on, but we always had food on the table and a place to lay our head's down at night, and we are always thankful for the life we all live up here!
I've always liked the look of the 55 gal stoves, lots of good memories of exploring backcountry BC and finding old cabins with them. My father has made all the stoves I have ever used in tents while hunting or camping. Working as a steel fabricator he could always get scraps from pipe jobs where the ends are too short or cut improperly. He built a smaller one out of some thick scrap, and had the blacksmith make a coiled handle, while the damper/air intake was one he built himself with a bit of deer antler. Later he built a bigger one in the same vein, but of a thinner gauge steel, and very similar features, while only weighing about as much as the smaller one. Both of these stoves will definitely outlast him, and likely myself as well, and I'm thankful to have use of them.
That’s awesome! Got some questions if you’ll answer them: Was it stainless steel? What was the antler doing for the air intake? Do you have any photos/videos to share? -Alistair
I was just tickled to find out there are companies that still make wood burning kitchen stoves. Don't get much bigger than that but it's for a house instead of a tent. Some have small water tanks built in and others can be hooked up to the water line.
Thank you Mr. Lonnie the for making this very informative, educational video. Man, what a nice, well taken care of wood stove collection you have there.
started thinking about what size stove i should get and the next words out of your mouth were “how large of a stove do you want?” great videos & explanations
I've camped out in winter many times and I've found that even if you have the smallest Ammo Can wood burning stoves, if you have one of those heat powered fans blowing the warm air off the stove around, it doesn't matter how small the stove is because the fan will help spread the heat around A Lot instead of it just floating up into the highest portion of the tent. But, you will be putting more wood into your stove more often, but with the right dampener settings, you'll be getting that back under control. I like your video. First time being here, but really like the information you provide. Thank you. Subscribing now 😀
I just wanted to thank you for all the warm nights your knowledge has taught me. The Siberian all night fire is my favorite! Go watch the vid ppl! You are a great man. Thank you again.
By far, this is my favorite bushcraft channel on youtube. Greatly enjoy learning all you have to teach, especially the fundamental things most channels skip over. Enjoy this autumn, God Bless from NYC
I think I need to confess I had some wood stove envy there. I thought I had the largest collection around. Well made video Lonnie with lots of great wood stove knowledge from someone who has been there done that. Enjoyed this a lot. Also thanks for the shout out, I picked up some new subscribers today and couldn't figure out why......until now.
As I said in the video, some of the stove knowledge that I have came from my association with you. Glad some folks decided to sub your channel. I meant to place text over the video in the location where I mentioned you as you are sometimes difficult to look up on UA-cam due to varying ways that your channel name can be written. Alas though I forgot to do so.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Do you live up here in Alaska? I would love to take that Kimbak Wood Stove Kit clean it up and put it on a half barrel for you.
yes I'm an Alaskan. you have my interest. However I'll bet that might be expensive as there would be quite some time and labor involved. That old stove has faithfully heated several of my larger tents including homemade tents for many years. I had a 12X14 foot custom made canvas wall tent that Alaska Tent And Tarp make up for me and that was the stove I used in it. The stove was a wee bit small for that large of a tent when the temps were well below zero but I was still mighty glad I had it. I sold that tent to a another local.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival I could put it in a 55 gallon or one of my custom cut down half barrels for u. I enjoy the work. I have cleaned those old kits up before. They are so hard to find these days. I keep my eye out for them all the time. UNLEeeeSs u would like to sell that Kimbak kit to me. I have one in my workshop. Love them.
Really, really enjoy watching all your videos and learning how other people do things. I really appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it. There's no place better than the great outdoors, untouched by modern society. Truly GODS country. Thank you.
This video is 13 years old wow you are a elite craftsman thank you Bow and drill Tutorial 1 and two videos from 13 years ago the first video was on how to make a fire in super wet conditions your awesome wow then the snow one were you cut the tree down to two or three feet high made half way cut put bur lap to catch ambur my spelling is horrible sorry I have learned so many cool lessons making fatt wood I have a lot more to learn than hopefully try thank you Lonnie again I’m David
Excellent video Lonnie and Connie I and many of us appreciate your contribution to making Humanity better with this knowledge of our past👍..... and unfortunately while Global corporations trying to erase and eradicate ancient knowledge silently and nonchalantly so that they can control our mentality and livelihood sucks 😤 most of us can ignore the BS and learn from those who really know, thank you!!!
You have a look and sound like Father Time. As I watch I can just tell you know what you are talking about. You have superior communication skills. Thank you for sharing your many years of knowledge so well.
This is very interesting to me. I'm quite familiar with heavy steel wood stoves, and homemade drum stoves, but I know jack squat about portable stoves, and the new age take on how they're fabricated along with the plethora of bells and whistles. The water tank with a spigot is genius, and it leaves the stovetop open. Great presentation, loaded with a wealth of useful info! - Godspeed
Oh my goodness. Lonnie it is so good to see your notification come up. I've been worried about you two. I hope all is well with you and Connie. I Love watching you two enjoying what the Lord made for us. Y'all are an inspiration to so many people who enjoy outdoor living. God Bless you both 🙏
He's alive! So glad to see another vid! Hot tent...so ready for the cold weather. I live in the High Rockies and aspens came n gone. Doing the great "gear exchange" right now...airing out n repairing winter gear. Ah...at last! Soooo ready for the ..cold! Perfect timing Lonnie!
Great vid on stoves. I've watched you make that one about three times now. I'm still amazed. Thanks for explaining many of my questions I had about the ones you showed. Take care and stay safe, my friends.
This was an invaluable video; many thanks to you and Connie. You have a peacefulness about you that helps calm the soul these days. I'm looking forward to your next video. God bless you both.
I have stayed away from glass sence the glass exploded in my stove at home. I have built several tent stoves for myself and 1 for a friend. Not 1 has had glass. All have had baffles and gaskets around the door. I'm glad I found your channel.
This is the only channel I have never unsubscribed from or taken a break from. Lonnie, your videos are a pleasure and a comfort to me to watch. I always learn something good. Are all the leaves off the trees up there already and snow already? Trees are just beginning to change color now here in western Pennsylvania and it's just starting to cool down 60's/40's.
All the leaves are gone from the trees here at our elevation except occasional trees here and there. We have had temperatures down to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit already as well.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Right after I wrote that comment, the weather here changed. It started back in the 70's and today it was 83. Now the forecast is saying mid to upper 70's for the next week and 60's at night. Indian summer. I'll take it.
Lonnie, I love the videos that you and Connie put out. Please keep it up. I have a channel but it is only so I can make comments. I don't produce any content because it looks time consuming and I don't need the income either. But I do have a good Idea now and then that I try to share with those of you that do create good content, when it's relevant to their video. Since part of this has been about DIY stoves, I wanted to tell you about a good source for a DIY stove pipe. Campbell's Chunky soup cans make a great take down stove pipe. The cans are bigger on one end than the other and if you use a side cutting "safety" can opener on each end, you are left with one end that fits nice and snug into the end of a second can. It's very easy to press 4 cans firmly together to create a pipe section and then press a series of those pipe sections together more gently ( so they can be taken apart for storage inside the stove ) to make a pipe of the length you need for your tent. The metal is substantial but not overly heavy and the cans are of a good diameter for venting a small or medium stove. And as a side bonus, I really like eating many of the varieties of soups in the Chunky line. Try it out, if you eat that soup, or if your willing to risk a few bucks to just get the cans ( I recommend New England Clam Chowder and Sausage and Chicken Gumbo) and if you like the idea, feel free to make a video of it. I would love to see the idea shared. Thank's for the videos, the distraction in this day and age is priceless. Peace.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Is that titanium sheet pipe really 9 feet long? I figured it was closer to 6 or 7 feet. My idea is meant more for a 6 or 7 foot chimney of the diameter generally created by those roll up pipes. What is the diameter of the rings that form that pipe.
Some of my titanium roll up stove pipes are 6 feet and some are 9 feet. I have the seek outside 8 man tipi as well as a similar height homemade pyramid style tarp tent and they requires tall stove pipes especially since these breakdown stoves are so short. My Large seek outside titanium breakdown stove requires a different diameter pipe than the Pomoly stoves. The SO pipe rings are about 3 inches and the P stove pipes are about 2.5 inches.
My Dad cut a 55 gallon drum in half , then cut a circle out of the lid. He cut a door in the side for stoking the fire. He added a smoke stack to the back. He set an iron kettle into the round hole to make stew. He ran the smoke stack to a smoker. My brother and l had the job of stoking the fire, while watching the stew kettle and smoker, sometimes all night before a family get together.
Thank you Lonnie and Connie for this important video. I've watched you make a couple of those stoves. Your safety information is very timely for October. Cheeers!
I forgot about this channel this is one of the first channels I subscribe to when I started my UA-cam, nice stoves. I have a few of those out in the shed but I don’t need them as much since I moved to South Georgia
Best you own a couple and stashed away regadless, the way this worlds going may need emergency heat, Im up in Canada,house stoves these, I concider are a must have 👍
Wow that is some collection of stoves! Over here, most folks use what we call an "airtight", they work awesome and run around $100. Great information, thank you for showing them!
I remember thee ole airtights and miss them. They were good stoves for the price. They were oval in shape and upright. I believe they were stoked through the top if I remember correctly. I have not seen an airtight here in Alaska for perhaps 40 years. I wonder why they don't still sell them here.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival That is strange, I can buy three different sizes at my local hardware store right now. When we tented they were the best, heated up a tent quickly and you could get them to burn 5 hrs to a load. They only last four or five years, but most of us add a liner and put an inch of sand in the bottom, and they would last much longer. I have one in my sauna at my cabin.
Hi Lonnie from Canada. Love your wealth of knowledge and I love hot tenting too. I have a 10 X 10 canvas tent with 3 ft wall and it's perfect for my wife and I. Recent subscriber and can't wait for your next video but I have alot of catching up to do with all your old vidieos. My wife Beth said to say hi to Connie❤
Great to have you both back again after the summer pause ! And thank you for your very interesting review of the different kind of stoves and their advantages as well as disadvantages! With titanium, I think, I would have problems, when damages needed to get repaired in such a way like soldering, brazing or welding. As I have tried it once soldering would not work, and with brazing and welding the metal would start to oxidize and produce a white smoke of TiO2. So this needs to be done under an inert gas flow. And titanium gets brittle in the cold and the wear may be higher inside the oven. But otherwise it is hard (Mohs hardness: lead 1.5, aluminium/gold 2.5-3, iron 4.5, titanium 6, steel 7-8), light (densities: aluminium 2.70 g/cm3, titanium 4.5 g/cm3, iron 7.87 g/cm3, stainless steel up to 8 g/cm3, lead 11.29 g/cm3, gold 19.3 g/cm3) and mostly chemically inert, so that it is used for long term implanted prothesis in the human body.
I just decided yesterday to come looking for you. WOW that is a lot of stove. You get your hands on a bunch of vinegar, paper towel, and some garbage bags. Now.. you soak the paper towels with vinegar, plaster them on the rust, bag it up. You will eat every bit of rust off in no time. You can be rid of it easy as can be with just brushing it off, or bristle brush not wire because no need to scratch the metal, putting the paper towels back on, come back, repeat til gone. Well that or naval jelly, but I havent seen that since I learned the vinegar trick. They used to sell it.*shrug* Im a fan of side shelves too and hot water heaters too! Nothing better than a nice hot water bottle for the bed too, I just use a two liter bottle and wrap with a small towel. Good stove education! Hope to see more of you two! Glad to.
I also use the hot water bottle for warmer nights in the sleeping bag occasionally. However I drop ours into thick natural fiber socks. I have also used vinegar to remove bad rust on cast iron cookware by just submerging them in a 50/50 diluted vinegar and water mix. never thought of soaking paper towels and sealing the item off from air circulation. Great idea.
It’s been a while since we’ve talked, the last time I was still in a wheelchair. I can walk again and I have about 70% use of my arm again. I’m up to walking 1/2 mile again. I may never go back to the overland hikes or miles on end but I’m not going to give up. I remember you making that stove. Love the video.
Awesome. May your recovery be rapid and complete
Ty quick response.
Never heard of rolled up pipe, more inclined use triple thick stove pipe.
That's what was asking.

The ring to tie down the chimney top is genius, wish I knew that instead of using clamps. As for scrubbing, I had a toilet brush that worked great!
Toilet brush. Never thought of that one but it ought to work.
Nice collection of wood stoves, Lonnie. I'm a fan of "bigger is better" when it comes to wood stoves. Good to see you both, it's been awhile.

I'm quite familiar with heavy steel wood stoves, and homemade drum stoves, but I know jack squat about portable stoves, and the new age take on how they're fabricated along with the plethora of bells and whistles. The water tank with a spigot is genius, and it leaves the stovetop open. Great presentation, loaded with a wealth of useful info! - Godspeed
I ain't no common man but I still clicked on this just to watch it because I like the channel 😎
Sir you and your wife are totally brilliant to watch thankyou for taking the time to do this for us 😍😎
Hi Lonnie and of course Connie. Glad to see you back in action. Thank you for all the information. Stay safe. ATB. NIgel
Oh my goodness. Lonnie it is so good to see your notification come up. I've been worried about you two. I hope all is well with you and Connie. I Love watching you two enjoying what the Lord made for us. Y'all are an inspiration to so many people who enjoy outdoor living. God Bless you both 🙏
He's alive! So glad to see another vid! Hot tent...so ready for the cold weather. I live in the High Rockies and aspens came n gone. Doing the great "gear exchange" right now...airing out n repairing winter gear. Ah...at last! Soooo ready for the
..cold! Perfect timing Lonnie!
After a super stressfull day with setbacks and hardships, this was exactly what I needed! Much love!
Good to see you back and over that bug you dealt with
😀
Great vid on stoves. I've watched you make that one about three times now. I'm still amazed. Thanks for explaining many of my questions I had about the ones you showed. Take care and stay safe, my friends.
Hi Northern Friends!
That's quite the collection there.
Take care and may God Allmighty bless you.
:))
This was an invaluable video; many thanks to you and Connie. You have a peacefulness about you that helps calm the soul these days. I'm looking forward to your next video. God bless you both.
Man I love this channel its always informative and and step by step instructions on what your doing
I have stayed away from glass sence the glass exploded in my stove at home. I have built several tent stoves for myself and 1 for a friend. Not 1 has had glass. All have had baffles and gaskets around the door. I'm glad I found your channel.
Thank you Lonnie & Connie for your time & effort with this video. 🏕 ⛺️
Yes! I like the fact Gandalf explains stoves to me :)
Thanks for introducing reliable stove for camping. I look forward to winter.😀👍👍
Thank you, grandfather of the woods
This is the only channel I have never unsubscribed from or taken a break from. Lonnie, your videos are a pleasure and a comfort to me to watch. I always learn something good. Are all the leaves off the trees up there already and snow already? Trees are just beginning to change color now here in western Pennsylvania and it's just starting to cool down 60's/40's.
All the leaves are gone from the trees here at our elevation except occasional trees here and there. We have had temperatures down to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit already as well.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Right after I wrote that comment, the weather here changed. It started back in the 70's and today it was 83. Now the forecast is saying mid to upper 70's for the next week and 60's at night. Indian summer. I'll take it.
Lonnie, I love the videos that you and Connie put out. Please keep it up. I have a channel but it is only so I can make comments. I don't produce any content because it looks time consuming and I don't need the income either. But I do have a good Idea now and then that I try to share with those of you that do create good content, when it's relevant to their video. Since part of this has been about DIY stoves, I wanted to tell you about a good source for a DIY stove pipe. Campbell's Chunky soup cans make a great take down stove pipe. The cans are bigger on one end than the other and if you use a side cutting "safety" can opener on each end, you are left with one end that fits nice and snug into the end of a second can. It's very easy to press 4 cans firmly together to create a pipe section and then press a series of those pipe sections together more gently ( so they can be taken apart for storage inside the stove ) to make a pipe of the length you need for your tent. The metal is substantial but not overly heavy and the cans are of a good diameter for venting a small or medium stove. And as a side bonus, I really like eating many of the varieties of soups in the Chunky line. Try it out, if you eat that soup, or if your willing to risk a few bucks to just get the cans ( I recommend New England Clam Chowder and Sausage and Chicken Gumbo) and if you like the idea, feel free to make a video of it. I would love to see the idea shared. Thank's for the videos, the distraction in this day and age is priceless. Peace.
good idea as long as the stove pipe can be made to be sturdy and not come apart during a burn. Many of my stove pipes are 9 feet long.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Is that titanium sheet pipe really 9 feet long? I figured it was closer to 6 or 7 feet. My idea is meant more for a 6 or 7 foot chimney of the diameter generally created by those roll up pipes. What is the diameter of the rings that form that pipe.
Some of my titanium roll up stove pipes are 6 feet and some are 9 feet. I have the seek outside 8 man tipi as well as a similar height homemade pyramid style tarp tent and they requires tall stove pipes especially since these breakdown stoves are so short.
My Large seek outside titanium breakdown stove requires a different diameter pipe than the Pomoly stoves. The SO pipe rings are about 3 inches and the P stove pipes are about 2.5 inches.
Very Good my Friend , it’s funny, y’all had been in our thoughts lately, good to see ya , God Bless, thanks
Lots of history here going way back. Love the variety and information. Thanks for sharing.
Just the more useful vidéo to see before chosing your tent stove !
Tank you !
My Dad cut a 55 gallon drum in half , then cut a circle out of the lid. He cut a door in the side for stoking the fire. He added a smoke stack to the back. He set an iron kettle into the round hole to make stew. He ran the smoke stack to a smoker. My brother and l had the job of stoking the fire, while watching the stew kettle and smoker, sometimes all night before a family get together.
I love that second last one... the barrel on it's side that says _KIMBAK_ on the door. That one is nice!
Thank you folks. God bless you both.
Excellent video, Lonnie, and great to see you!
Greetings from Sweden 👋🇸🇪 Great channel
The Ghendalf of bushcraft is very helpful! Thank you for so many informative videos!
Thank you Lonnie and Connie for this important video. I've watched you make a couple of those stoves. Your safety information is very timely for October. Cheeers!
Thanks for the video and all the great information. Take care Lonnie and Connie.👍🏕
Glad you came back to UA-cam
I forgot about this channel this is one of the first channels I subscribe to when I started my UA-cam, nice stoves. I have a few of those out in the shed but I don’t need them as much since I moved to South Georgia
Best you own a couple and stashed away regadless, the way this worlds going may need emergency heat, Im up in Canada,house stoves these, I concider are a must have 👍
Thank you for such an indepth video Lonnie and Connie !
I'm from the UK ok this is the best video I've seen in a long time very interesting and I've learnt something
Been worried about you guys. Glad to see you back.
Wow that is some collection of stoves! Over here, most folks use what we call an "airtight", they work awesome and run around $100. Great information, thank you for showing them!
I remember thee ole airtights and miss them. They were good stoves for the price. They were oval in shape and upright. I believe they were stoked through the top if I remember correctly. I have not seen an airtight here in Alaska for perhaps 40 years. I wonder why they don't still sell them here.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival That is strange, I can buy three different sizes at my local hardware store right now. When we tented they were the best, heated up a tent quickly and you could get them to burn 5 hrs to a load. They only last four or five years, but most of us add a liner and put an inch of sand in the bottom, and they would last much longer. I have one in my sauna at my cabin.
Good to see you again my friend, best wishes
This man needs to do audio books. Would love to listen to him read out books on long drives.
Hi Lonnie from Canada. Love your wealth of knowledge and I love hot tenting too. I have a 10 X 10 canvas tent with 3 ft wall and it's perfect for my wife and I. Recent subscriber and can't wait for your next video but I have alot of catching up to do with all your old vidieos. My wife Beth said to say hi to Connie❤
Thanks for subbing and welcome to the channel. Enjoy your hot tent camping season. Sounds like you have a nice sized tent for the two of you..
Thx Lonnie and Connie! I always learn from your videos! You two are top notch! ATB
Great to have you both back again after the summer pause ! And thank you for your very interesting review of the different kind of stoves and their advantages as well as disadvantages!
With titanium, I think, I would have problems, when damages needed to get repaired in such a way like soldering, brazing or welding. As I have tried it once soldering would not work, and with brazing and welding the metal would start to oxidize and produce a white smoke of TiO2. So this needs to be done under an inert gas flow. And titanium gets brittle in the cold and the wear may be higher inside the oven. But otherwise it is hard (Mohs hardness: lead 1.5, aluminium/gold 2.5-3, iron 4.5, titanium 6, steel 7-8), light (densities: aluminium 2.70 g/cm3, titanium 4.5 g/cm3, iron 7.87 g/cm3, stainless steel up to 8 g/cm3, lead 11.29 g/cm3, gold 19.3 g/cm3) and mostly chemically inert, so that it is used for long term implanted prothesis in the human body.
I just decided yesterday to come looking for you. WOW that is a lot of stove. You get your hands on a bunch of vinegar, paper towel, and some garbage bags. Now.. you soak the paper towels with vinegar, plaster them on the rust, bag it up. You will eat every bit of rust off in no time. You can be rid of it easy as can be with just brushing it off, or bristle brush not wire because no need to scratch the metal, putting the paper towels back on, come back, repeat til gone. Well that or naval jelly, but I havent seen that since I learned the vinegar trick. They used to sell it.*shrug*
Im a fan of side shelves too and hot water heaters too! Nothing better than a nice hot water bottle for the bed too, I just use a two liter bottle and wrap with a small towel.
Good stove education!
Hope to see more of you two! Glad to.
I also use the hot water bottle for warmer nights in the sleeping bag occasionally. However I drop ours into thick natural fiber socks. I have also used vinegar to remove bad rust on cast iron cookware by just submerging them in a 50/50 diluted vinegar and water mix. never thought of soaking paper towels and sealing the item off from air circulation. Great idea.
