Cooking Hobo Style

The Hobo stove is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to cook. It is nothing more than a tin can with some holes made at the bottom for air flow. Also, there is a hole on the side to add small sticks of wood. The one in the picture is a #10 can, and the top consists of a small wire grill to hold the pan. Small sticks can be found just about anywhere, but I am currently using pieces I chopped up from a hardwood pallet. I am cooking a steak in a cast iron skillet, which only took about 5-6 minutes. Also, I have scrambled eggs, made toast and boiled water using this stove as well. As you can see, this one is starting to rust so I really need to make another Hobo stove.
