The trick is to light the fuel from the top and let just enough air in through the bottom to allow the fuel to smolder/bake. If you don't let in enough air in the bottom, you'll get a lot of charcoal that won't burn and the stove will get clogged up. So you want kind of a mix between lots of smoke (which comes from baking the wood) and a hot enough fire to thoroughly burn the wood which keeps the stove from clogging up with charcoal. Then let enough fresh/heated air in the inside just below the top of the stove so that when the smoke hits the fresh air, it has enough oxygen to ignite it. If your top gas flame is weak, drilling more pinky sized holes around the top of only the inner wall from the inside might help it have a stronger gas flame at the top. Big holes all the way through the bottom would allow it burn hotter but for less time. You might try tuning it by drilling out the bottom inner wall holes the same size as the outside holes every 2nd or 3rd bottom hole and see how that affects the strength of the flame at the top. Just keep a balance between bottom holes and inside top holes so you get a clean stable flame.
A mini trangia would work for the interior of this wood gas stove. Your wood gas stove would mimic a wind screen. Alcohol burners are a great second option due to twigs being way too moist to burn due to snow, rain, or ice.
Great container shape. Just needed more inlet air on outside, and inside bottom, and sides@ inside bottom, and seal the holes on the outside top. Should work well.
+ProLiteGear Very good concept and there is so many different types of wood burning stoves out there today. But I truly appreciate this is awesome job I'm going to do this myself. Great video...
If you want you can buy another coffee carafe as the actual pot to boil water on your wood gas coffee carafe stove. They will look identical. Plus you can burn paper cat litter pellets. They are nice, and dry to safely burn. :)
where are u man, we miss you!
Great repurposing of a coffee carafe!
I would just add a light but solid wind screen.
✔️
agree - once I added a few pieces of firewood as a windscreen it worked better.
@@ProlitegearPage did you need to add more holes or was it enough?
Why did you make those upper holes from the outside in? Doesn't that disturb the gasification?

If you get a coffee carafe pot you can cook on your coffee carafe wood gas stove. The two would look like twins.
That burner plate is called a gas stove grate. Clever idea using a drip pan l to set the grate on. :)

Have you done any reviews on the Kuiu gear? I trust your opinion and would love to know what you think
What Kuiu jacket are you wearing and are you planning on reviewing it?
