PING!
Maybe we can do the same thing with cars and trains. Planes even!
It is not even necessary to have a stove at all.
All you need to do is dig a small trench in the ground. About 18” long and maybe 8” deep and 6” wide. Put a steel grate over it and use pieces of wood to build a fire in the pit.
After it burns down a bit just do your cooking on the grate. If you have a pan, it is not necessary to burn the wood down too much.
If you are cooking directly on the grate, let the fire burn down to coals before putting the grate down.
I have done this while camping in the woods and it works about as well as anything.
I used to cook c-rats and mre’s on my jeep exhaust manifold. That’s pretty close to this.
I take the foil from a pack of gum and make a solar stove using the rays of the sun to heat my food. Cheap, light and easy to carry out. On cloudy days, I drive over to the Kentucky Fried Chicken and get a bucket of extra crispy. I can usually find at least one cloud in the sky.
