Steps (8 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    First we built a wooden frame with a base attached at the bottom which we painted a medium grey.

    2 - 350 x 70 x 20mm Planks {front and back}
    2 - 250 x 70 x 20mm Planks {sides}
    1 - 350 x 290mm Plank/other {for the base}

  2. 2

    The glass we had cut at a local glass supplier in the following sizes:

    2 - 300 x 200 x 3mm {front and back}
    2 - 250 x 200 x 3mm {sides}

    We used clear Marine Silicone as an adhesive and built a rectangular glass "box" which fitted nicely into the wooden frame we have built

  3. 3

    All we had was a small piece of steel mesh {NOTE: always make double sure you have enough for a project and do not assume - that's more a reminder to myself!}

    So, here we cut and shaped the steel mesh to fit inside the wooden box.

  4. 4

    Cut a round hole, big enough for a tin can to fit through - insert the can securely.

  5. 5

    Place inside the wooden box {see ours is a tad too small - but not a problem}.

  6. 6

    We simply filled the open sides with stones until it was all packed tight.

  7. 7

    Filled up with stones to the same height as the can and add Bio-fuel.

    Light your fire, sit back and enjoy!
