Great Idea For Cooking Outdoors - Rim Stove

I'm going to be building this soon. I believe I'll add another rim to the bottom to get it up off the ground a bit.

Add a rim on the top with the center cut out so that the top ring surrounds the pot, and then the escaping heat will be fully directed at the sides of the pot. The result will be another version of a rocket stove. Very good idea.

Very cool.

I think a few holes in the sides of the bottom rim would get more air under the fire and really pump up the efficiency

Adding holes in the bottom may defeat the rocket stove design concept. See the picture of my rocket stove in the post above.

this didn't work out so good for me. My tires melted and I wasn't able to get the rims back on the car when I was done cooking. I wasn't even able to get to work the next day. :-(

Back in the day we used two steal barrel lids with spacers to get the up off the snow and then the rim was put on top of the fire to cook on.

Aren't you ashamed of stealing barrel lids?

Looks like a re-tire-ment project.
