Depending on if you are out camping or stuck in an emergency with no power or natural gas, dealing with a situation can be a drag with out having an oven to cook your food. When needing water for you're Freeze-Dried Food heated up or to heat up your MRE's, you might be scrambling around trying to find a way to cook your meal. We'll show you a simple way to turn your average run of the meal #10 can into you're own Ready Stove.

Now you might have seen or even have made your own Ready Stove, its commonly known as a "Hobo Stove", its a simple and amazing product to cook or heat your meals with. You can take any metal can & turn it to a cooking devise, but with your Mountain House or Saratoga Farms cans set aside for your emergency why not use something you have laying around?

To make your own Ready Stove is simple & you can use items that you have laying around your house, so just follow my 4 steps to assemble you're own Ready Stove.

Items you will need:
1 Empty #10 Can 1 Can Opener with a V shaped opener
1 Pair of Gloves 1 Scissor or Tin Shears

Step 1. Punching 5-6 equally spaced, 1" diameter holes around both the top and the bottom of the can

Step 2. Cut a large square in the side of the can, giving you access to the area where you put your fuel source.

Step 3. Find your fuel source. Simple pencil sized sticks will do the job.

Step 4. Light the fire & enjoy your warm meal.

What makes the Ready Stove work so great? Having the holes on the top & bottom of the can will cause a convection. The air will draw from the bottom and the smoke will come out of the top holes and will help fuel the fire with oxygen.
(Note: For improved heating it is best to lace the bottom holes to face the wind)

Some people prefer to remove the top & the bottom of the can to help promote the convection, but it can cause a carbon deposit on your pot/pan and can be quite bothersome to clean off. I personally like to use the flat surface of the #10 can to hold my tin cup of water for my Mountain House Pouch. You also should look up other designs that people have come up with, like adding a dampener for the oxygen supply so you can control the air flow and that can control the temperature of the stove.

Depending on if you are wanting to do a simple stove or if you would like to make something out of a large cooking pot or a large beer keg into a cooking unit , (not very practical but amazing to make.)

To make your own Ready Stove does not require much time & money to build, and when recycling is promoted so much you would be surprised at how many people take their left over #10 cans & turn it into a stove. I remember when I was around 7-8 in boy scouts & I used my stove to cook my meal on a camp out, and the amazing thing is that all I had was a candle as the heat source to heat up my meal. So next time you want to do something with the kids that is use full and fun then grab your can's & give it a go.
