Take a normal 870ml (fruit-) can, cut with a sharp-edged knife parallel cuts in the bottom with about 5mm distance.

1.-Bend with a screw-driver and pliers the metal-ribbons to get a grate.
This alone works well, but looses some fuel/charcoal.

2.- Form a “plissee”-metal-sheet (pleated) out of the side of a (10cm
diameter) can.

Each zig-zag-side about 1cm. The angles 60°. Put the can with slits ( like
1.-) onto the plisse-grate/support, so that the slits cross the plies in 90°.

-The plissee-lines are directed in wind-direction.

-The ashes on the pleated-metal-sheet can be cleaned with a thin stick or wire, while burning; but caution, that the tin-can-stove does not tumble.

-Another advantage of the plissee is, that the grat/bottom is heat-isolating and protected by the ashes. The charcoal falling through the upper gate is burning on the ashes on the plissee.

To all,

interested in blow and draft.

I found a website you possibly don't know. I like to call this stoves

principle: "natural blow by natural draft"

Have a look to the page. It's in French, but there are pictures, simply to understand.

Malot-Blower with Triangle-Shaft

The thickness of the shaft is no problem. I attach an exel-sheet, where you
can see this.

The difference in cross-square between a 0.5cm shaft and a 4.5cm shaft is
more or less the same as the difference between a rotor-diameter between
19.5 and 20.0cm. If you need a bigger central hole because and the rotor
would not work (which I don't believe), make the diameter of the rotor a

pressure is available, we use as well a sort of undershot water-wheel, by
using the high water-pressure with very high speed to bound against the
paddles of the wheel.
