Re: Convert that old PC tower case to ....... a cookstove ! Very neat! I also found the quit smoking drug advertised in the comments to be very amusing.

Re: Convert that old PC tower case to ....... a cookstove ! A PC-case converted to a cook stove? Sounds like this guy has too much time on his hands. :pcguru:

Well if you read it, you'll find it employs a very efficient method for burning wood shavings, which in turn requires a well designed air delivery system, that happens to already be provided to you by the PC manufacturers. That it can be made (basically) entirely from trash is impressive on its own and perhaps very useful in India and China where tech trash is plentiful and affordability is low.

Errr... the "problem" or "foolishness" of it that I see is that this wonderful creation calls for the use of the power supply and the fans that were in the computer! If you have the electricity to run the fans, why not just get a hot plate? :stupid:

Because a hot plate uses A LOT more electricity than a computer fan.

The fans are 12 volt so they could be run from your car battery.

That is a sharp-looking unit. I notice the website is like 2004 (?) So, is this stove still a happening thing? You wouldn't know how much $$$ they want for it, do you? Also, do you know if by any chance they give directions on how to make your own (albeit, I'm sure the finished product wouldn't be as polished as this is)?

Guess you could say I'm not a pretentious snob with time on my hands... or a city-dwelling clueless wanna-be survivor! :111:

Re: Convert that old PC tower case to ....... a cookstove ! My mistake, he can cruise BassPro with you and go shopping for a Coleman stove. Don't forget the $10 per gallon fuel !

Re: Convert that old PC tower case to ....... a cookstove ! This is an interesting paper: Design Principles for Wood Burning Cookstoves (especially Chapter 2, Ten Design Principles). http://www.bioenergylists.org/stoves...Cookstoves.pdf Mostly intended for fixed stoves but could also be used to build a portable stove.
