I would get 3 small pieces of wire & space them 1/3 the way around the top & ty 3 pairs of flaps as to secure the top....I’ve been buying these at G SALES & thrift stores for about a year now.... .50 is my limit 😉. Also I would experiment cutting a few ajacent flaps at about the half way point to make a wood feeder hole. Also considered dropping one in a can, adding holes on bottom & top with legs for steadier base and potential larger cooking capacity.
Need to make one of those steamer's with no hole's on the leaf's leaving the hole's only on the bottom. Then connect two of them together flat part to flat part one with no hole's on the leaf's and the bottom one with hole's on the leaf's for a clean burn. The one on top with no hole's will draft air up from the bottom one with hole's focusing the heat straight up to your cooking area. Then fold both side's down and stash in a camping pot. 👍
quickly made a version with materials on hand.. Look forward to trying it out.. I cut a few of the fins halfway down so that I can feed Twigs underneath but didn't ruin the support. (Removing a few fins would cause them all to fall in. And I have one removable copper wire for now as a spacer to hold them at the right distance for my Titan kettle. May switch to something else instead of copper later. Tnx
I would have gotten rocks or use the ground and dig a hole and cook over that. I can see if you have water and coffee filters that could be good for a water purifier.
You know its funny, I just found mine, totally forget where, but i think its for a smaller instant pot like device or crock pot. I found mine in a bunch of odds and ends in my survival gear I wonder if anyone else can help if they have seen these sized racks before!
That would be nice, however why would anyone want to pay titanium prices just for a simple household item? In that case just get a titanium wood burning stove like Firebox nano or other.
Yeah, I was thinking of getting one of those camp grills and opening this up all the way like the fire bowl, and seeing if that will work. If I can find a camp grill cheap enough I will give it a try on video.
Thanks, I still use it from time to time, I did have to buy a new better made steamer as after burning it a few times that cheap one got really hard to fold up, but the better new one has been used lots and is still going strong.
I dont worry about it too much but I will use some comet and a scrub pad to clean it off after a trip is over. Grills I dont worry about at all as they will just get dirty again, I just make sure to get any grease or food off them and they are good to go.
Christopher Murphy true, but I remember Someone Suggesting a long time ago Some Type of Alcohol where the soot Literally Wipes Right Off, no Scrubbing necessary. That’s what I’m searching for, an Easy Fix LoL. Thanks
You can probably find these in all sorts of places at more reasonable prices but this is what you are looking for assorted sizes and weights of round cake cooling racks , just what ya need...... www.amazon.com/Andersons-Professional-Cooling-Heavyweight-9-25-Inches/dp/B000HM9TGM
This is your Scoutmaster. SEND BACK YOUR FIREMAKING BADGE!!!! Joking aside, it's a great little camping appliance.
Tried it with some wood pellets and it did good.
I just picked up a vegie steamer for .99 to do a demo and I found this. Great minds think alike.
With a few pieces of charcoal in it this would make a good emergency cooker in case of a power outage…could heat water or soup or make a quick meal.
bet this could be used with tea light candles indoors too. might take abit to heat up but in a power outage its better then nothing!
Instablaster.
It would be a great containment for an alcohol stove too. I just bought one. Thanks for the tip!
That is different, i may have to get one for myself, add it to my collection.
Was wondering about this too. Yes they look just like vegetable steamer.
I have to say this is pretty clever...
I wonder if you could remove a couple of the "fins" from the steamer to create a place to feed new sticks through?
Im lovin it.
Im using a collander at the moment(4 weeks in the bush,twice a day)
How does the hinges hold up to constant heat/cool cycles?
Great no problems with it at all
@@Iridium242 cheers-ill pick one up when i go into queenstown

Wot
I thought the same thing! Dig the small grill. Cheers
Thanks!

Smoking chips...LOL! Good wood smoke smelling black bottom pot! Great idea, thanks.
Looks good, I may have to get one of these. Thanks
Excellent 👍
" I would make a long folded ring of aluminum foil about 2-3" high and put it inside to reduce wind effect. "
Can you use a charcoal in it, if you have something that needs longer cooking time?
Throwbackness
I would have gotten rocks or use the ground and dig a hole and cook over that. I can see if you have water and coffee filters that could be good for a water purifier.
But will it fit into a small pot as i need a steamer for camping ?
Neat idea, 😊
where shall I purchase that small round cooking rack???

Not sure but perhaps see what they have for air fryers or pressure cookers, they’ll be small size.
I built a number of hobo rocket stoves with those grills and found those little grills in a Chinese grocery stove in the hardware section.
Great idea...we need a titanium folding steamer basket
Yeah, that would cut down on the weight bigtime.

Thats a pretty cool idea! So many different things you can do with that....

I wanna see that!
Ótimo vídeo Parabéns 👍
How do we keep it from collapsing mid-cook? Those steamers loosen up quickly.
Love it
wad up the paper and use a windscreen
What a great idea.
Thanks, I still use it from time to time, I did have to buy a new better made steamer as after burning it a few times that cheap one got really hard to fold up, but the better new one has been used lots and is still going strong.
Crumple the paper up
Just subbed btw😁👍👍
Next time try dryer lint . It will start up quickly..
Good idea.
Thats a great rig great Idea...Thanks
Thanks for watching! Yeah, it seemed to work very well. I am going to try it all the way open with a backpacking grill and see how it works!
cool
that is an outstanding idea~!!!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I was kind of shocked at how simple an idea it was and no one had done it yet. :)
What size is the steamer? Diameter folded up?
5.3 inches folded and it opens up to 9.3 inches
interesting idea
I need a suggestion on how to clean Soot off my pans, grills etc.. Any ideas ?? Please !!! Anyone ??? Heeelp
I dont worry about it too much but I will use some comet and a scrub pad to clean it off after a trip is over. Grills I dont worry about at all as they will just get dirty again, I just make sure to get any grease or food off them and they are good to go.
Just use stuff sacks made from old clothes to cover the dirty pots, so it doesn’t cover your other gear
Christopher Murphy yes, that’s what I have been doing but, I was Hoping there was some Magic Spray or something, damnnnn a trick I don’t know about
sherry a sandy creek works well. But you could alway bring an sos pad with you in your cook set

nice one
