<< A couple of stoves were mentioned as possible alternatives. Well, today I was flipping through a catalog my wife borrowed from a co-worker (thanks Julie). They have a little stove designed to burn twigs that is cheap. Check it out at: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/ and search on "Pocket Cooker" to get a picture and description. (it should be the 8th item in the search results list) Very small and it's hard to go wrong for $10. :) << ************************************************************************* Their photo shows the stove operating inches from a bunch of dead leaves and other forest litter, which is a good way to start a forest fire!

I own the Pocket Cooker (as well as a couple of sizes of the Zip Stove; description following): A far superior stove which burns twigs, pinecones etc is the Zip Stove. It is more expensive (in one form it comes nestled in its own pot/cook kit and bag) but is far more efficient and self contained. The stove does require one AA battery to operated. The battery drives a small fan which is somewhat adjustable and the firebox then becomes a small blast furnace. The stove is also very light.
