I split down some dead standing willow with my Gransfors Outdoor axe

I put a layer of small split wood in the bottom of my stove then pace my fluffed up

Birch bark on top then added some more finely split wood on top. Lite it using a ferro
rod :)

Once Id finished my coffee and lunch there was very little embers and ash left I put
some water into the bottom of my mug and tip the ashes into it ensuring its all out.
scatter whats left and packed up :)

Looked like a good time outdoors. Love the dog too, they just look at home in the woods..... don't see folks taking their house cats out do you. :9:
 
Good looking pooch and I like that stove too! Thanks for posting!
 
The jacket is an Arktis Danish army waterproof smock

The dog is a white German Shepherd

It was just out side Kirkcaldy

Thanks for the kind words :)
 
Nice pics- I always liked the look of the Honey Stove.i hear Bob is bringing out a wood gassifier this spring/summer anodized in colour-should be interesting, thx for sharing
 
It sounds crazy to go to all that work, just for a cup of tea or coffee.
But it can turn the simplest meal or snack into a special memory.
It is a great way to spend some time either alone or with a friend.

That part of Scotland looks amazing ... so different than the Northeastern USA. Thanks for sharing!
