After posting the "wick style home made camping stove how-to from ":http://cotradeco.com/posts/793-how-to-ultralight-wick-style-backpack-camping-stove-from-cans I found this how to for the more common sidejet style stove from cool347957989 at YouTube .
As I mentioned in the Wick style how to, HappyCamperBus built an entire stove for their VW bus using this stove design and I many of my camper friends, even zoe’s sister Tammy also makes this type of stove for her camping/hiking/backpacking adventures.
This particular how to is quick and easy to follow. But I wanted to point out that it recommends using fiberglass inside the “fuel tank”, though of the folks I have met you use this style of camping stove, I have never seen anyone do this. That is not to say that doing so wouldn’t improve performance or fuel efficiency, but I have no information or evidence to confirm this.
Have fun on and off the trails of life.
