Saxon's Survival Hour #182: A Cheap Charcoal Stove

Today's excerpt begins on page 52 of The Survivor Volume 1.

A Cheap Charcoal Stove

I saw the other day at a friend's house one of the simplest and most effective stoves for a small conservatory it is possible to imagine.
It was composed of three 12-inch ordinary flower pots.

The hole at the bottom of the lowest was covered with a small pot, into the sides of which had been bored a number of holes.
The pot was then three parts filled with charcoal, and lighted from the top.
This is the furnace.
It is covered by pots Nos. 2 and 3, and a light tin funnel and chimney carry off the vapor.
The draught is maintained by placing the apparatus on a couple of bricks, and regulated by closing the intervening space with mud, leaving only a sufficient aperture to keep the fire burning.
This improvised stove will burn without attention for twenty-four hours, and it is amazing what a great amount of heat is given off from so small a surface-— S. J.. in the Gardener's Chronicle,

Kurt Saxon thought civilization would have collapsed by now.
He spent the majority of his life collecting knowledge of home based business.
His goal was for all his readers to survive at a more comfortable level than those that were less provident.

He knew the importance of communicating at a level folks could understand.
Most of what he has compiled for our benefit can be easily understood by everybody.

He also includes a subtle sense of humor.

You can find the majority of his life's work here.

Hear him read his stories.
