May I make a temporary j-tube stove from brick/stone and use it to boil water for this bb?  It would not be welded together with metal.  It would not (although I could) have cob to seal it.  Just brick or stone stacked to make a j-tube stove to cook on.  I'll use it to cook outside when it's too hot to cook inside.

Thanks, Tina

You may, just make sure it is a J-Tube.

It was pretty fun and crazy to see just how little wood you need to use to boil water when you have a super efficient wood burning contraption.  

Come to the PTJ and do BBs in your spare time ;)

Using a j-tube RMH cooktop at Wheaton Labs during the SKIP, I was able to boil one gallon of water.

Boiled some water for my dinner on the jtube cooker at Wheaton Labs.  I didn't have a gallon measuring device so I used what I estimated to be a gallon and a half, when compared to a 2 gallon bucket.  Behold!

Why should I lose weight? They make bigger overalls. And they sure don't make overalls for tiny ads:
