Anyone who works with wood knows that there will always be an endless supply of sawdust around at any given point of time. There are many things that you can do with it but this happens to be our favorite.

Sawdust burns properly only in a specially constructed sawdust stove. These are very simple to make and costs practically nothing. The fuel (aka sawdust)  always lights with only one match and can be kept ablaze for long periods—four, six, eight or even twelve hours if desired—with absolutely no smoke, no blowing or fanning, and no refueling.

To make one of these stoves take a large metal barrel remove the top and cut a two-inch hole in the middle of the bottom. Set the container

Use other pieces of metal to create three legs. This is what the stove will sit on

The only “tool” you'll need to make your burner work is a smooth round stick or length of water pipe which will fit through the hole in the bottom of the can. It should be long enough to protrude four inches above the can's top edge when the shaft is passed vertically through the stove and its lower end rests on the ground.

Little hint: It is absolutely essential that the fuel for this stove be bone dry. 

Once lit the sawdust will burn from the inside outward giving you hours of endless heat. So check out the video below to see just how easy it is to make one of these stoves and let us know how you do!
