Abstract: A portable stove includes a frusto-conical body and a grid carried within the body together with an optional cooking surface for the smaller end of the body and stands to elevate the larger end of the body to facilitate establishing an air flow into the body. By rolling a flat piece of metal that has folds on both ends until the folded ends are interlocked, the stove's body is formed. Squeezing the formed body releases it to return to a flattened configuration for storage. The components of the stove can thus be stored in a compact configuration such as in a backpack. An optional oven includes a cooking chamber within a housing. The oven rests on the body and redistributes heat from the burning fuel inside the body to the cooking chamber base, body and lid so that it bakes evenly. The housing confines the heat to the chamber for improved cooking efficiency.
