Hobo Stoves

Hello everyone! We are making Hobo Stoves at school camp so that we can roast some marshmallows and make smores. We have been writing a set of our own instructions. You could test our instructions out and make your own smores!



To make a Hobo Stove you will need:
Dry sticks and leaves
Newspaper
Matches
Large tin
Tin Snips
Nails and a hammer OR a can opener/bottle opener

How to Make a Hobo Stove:
1. Cut eight holes around the middle of the can.
2. Cut a flap at the bottom of the can using the tin snips.
3. Cut the top of the can off.
4. Snap the sticks in small pieces so they fit inside the can. If they don't snap then they are too wet.
5. Scrunch up some newspaper and put it and some leaves inside the can.
6. Put the snapped sticks inside the flap of the can.
7. Light a match and set fire to the leaves, sticks and newspaper.
8. Let it set fire and then slowly put in extra sticks.
9. Roast marshmallows over the fire and make smores.
