Whether it is for survival, camping, or anything else that requires being in the great outdoors, a DIY wood burning stove can come in handy. With simple tools like a screwdriver and tin cutters, you can alter a metal coffee can to become a wood stove. There are literally thousands of websites that tell you how to make a DIY wood stove (aka: Hobo Stove) but this is by far the easiest. For this wood stove you only need one large metal (tin) coffee can and 2 metal rods to lay on top of the coffee can. That is it, no need for empty soup or paint cans whatsoever. We have made a large infographic with 3 steps on it to help you quickly make your own wood stove fast. If you think this is too much work, buy one online already made.
