  • Patent number: 5915371
    Abstract: A four season, lightweight, highly efficient stove, versatile enough to meet the needs of a solo backpacker and weekend camping groups, that will boil one quart of water at an outdoor temperature of 0.degree. F. in less than five minutes using foraged fuel. This stove consists of two semi-cylindrical pieces of metal detachably joined together at the side edges, with all the parts continuously linked together to form a one-piece stove. It provides a light weight, easy to set up, stove which occupies minimal space, being easily wrapped around a sleeping pad. The stove uses twigs and other materials normally found around a campsite for fuel. Hence there is no need for one to bring one's own fuel when going camping.
