To cook food in the forest, you need a fire, for which you need to collect firewood. Also, in order to have somewhere to put a frying pan or saucepan, you need a special device. Plus, the fire does not burn for very long and needs to be constantly maintained. Well, another drawback is a huge amount of smoke.
But there is another way out, to make an almost autonomous slab from a log.
Will need
- Twist wood drill with a diameter of 25 mm and a length of about 160 mm. Sold at any hardware store.
- A ring cut from a pipe, or a ready-made pipe holder, can also be purchased or made by yourself.
- A hex holder for the drill shank, you can also buy it without any problems.
Making an attachment for manual drill rotation
So, we weld the hexagon to the ring and clean it of scale.
To create a lever, we make a wooden handle. It is lightweight and will not weigh you down when carried.
How to use the device?
We take a log of small diameter. In the forest, it can be cut from dry wood with a hacksaw or a manual folding saw.
Drill a hole in its center to the depth of the drill.Having previously inserted the drill into the nozzle with a handle.
Drilling by hand is quite bearable.
We measure out the clay with a drill and make a note.
Now we drill a hole from the side perpendicular to the first one until it intersects with it.
We put pebbles - they will serve as a stand for dishes. Set it on fire with a torch. It turned out exactly like a cooking tile.
It burns perfectly and for a very long time, about 5-7 hours without a break!
The heat is optimal, you can cook food and boil water for tea.
Conclusion
Let you spend more time making such a “tile” than making a regular fire (although it is a controversial issue which is faster to do). But on the other hand, you will have an almost autonomous heat source for an extremely long time. By the way, such tiles practically do not smoke, which is a very big plus.
