  • The CRAB Stove

    The CRAB Stove a low cost metal charcoal stove by Lanny Henson.

    CRAB Stove- The Henson Charcoal Rice And Bean Cooker cooks, serves and holds. It is efficient and saves up to 75% on fuel. It is inexpensive, easy to build and easy to use, just light it and forget it. Only 150 grams of charcoal cooks 5 kilograms of rice. That is about ¼ the UCB Water Boiling Test Benchmark of 600 grams for charcoal.

    The CRAB Stove only needs 175 grams of charcoal cooks 5 liters of pintos for 2 hours, or boil and simmers 5 liters of water/stew.

    It functions three ways, it cooks, it serves, it holds.

  • Center Frame Wood Burner

    I think the wood burner below has potential, it had the best burn that I have seen with small wood and straw, but I am new to (wood gas?) burners so maybe not.

    Center fire, simple tin can wood gas burner cartridge module. (name?) The improved center frame was simple and fast too build, it uses a spiral wire that is formed around a tube.
    A funnel cut from the bottom of a pail (8??? dia flat lay out) replaces the grate and focuses the combustion air and heated secondary combustion air up the center frame.
    Small wood splinters and straw are used for fuel.
    I light it from the bottom, Top lighting may be better.
    It produced nice flames with no visible smoke.
    Then the char burned and most of the ashes fell through the cone.

    The next set up will control the combustion air to see if the burner can turn down without smoking.
