Some of these are for camping (ultra small and lightweight), some of these are for family cooking. Some nice design ideas, both thermodynamic and the use of found/recycled materials.
From the The Home-Made Stove Archives website:
This no-frames, no frills website is dedicated to those brave experimenters spending time in building their own backpacking stoves or modifying commercial made ones. When I did my searches on this topic it turned out to be a very difficult task to find out about models quoted in discussions groups and web boards. URLs are not always mentioned, links show tendencies to expire and change. So here is to you The Archives.
The policy here is kept simple: when interesting material is found on the net, a written request is sent by e-mail to the experimenter, asking the permission to re-publish her/his work on this website. The original material is kept as-is, the only modification will be applied to frames (no framing allowed here!) if this can be done without significant changes to the original pages. The author's website URL will be included as a link to the main page. An editor's note could be added and kept separated by the author's work. Anyone willing to submit her/his works, tips, findings, schemes, pictures, drawings, links, hints and kinks is warmly welcome:
Some clever designs including this one which is a redesign of the Sierra Zip stove: Peter's Redesigned Sierra Zip Stove Peter adds a battery powered fan to increase output and beefs up the burner and case still managing to clock in under eleven ounces for the complete unit.
