The generic term for stoves of this type is "stick stoves." These stoves are designed to burn at high temperatures and consume minimal fuel. Small sticks and twigs are the intended fuel (you can use pine cones, charcoal briquettes, solid fuel bars, etc.). For one design and a slightly better explanation, visit http://forums.cosmoaccess.net/forum/survival/prep/hobostv.htm This particular plan is called the "Hobo Stove" and is made from a one gallon paint can. I suppose that you could make a smaller version from a quart can. Clean, new paint cans can be purchased at "real" paint stores (Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, etc.). Once again, these stoves are suitable for boiling water and other high heat applications.
