Just a quick question on the likely lifespan of one of these.
Using one of the very cheap Chinese or Indian made units about a half millimetre thick how long would they last in constant use?
After lots of research I think one of these will be the quickest and cheapest way to get a stove made in my circumstances, especially if I can pick one up S/H in an Op-Shop where they usually sell for about $10- for the smaller and up to $20- for a large one
I would opt for the largest I can find for maximum heat output.
I need it to last for 2 or 3 months.
I will of course be doing the usual things like a double bottom and a cake rack etc
Google shows lots of these but I can't find any comment on the lifespan
The big cheap stockpots seem to top out at around 20 litres and that is a reasonable size. Looking for 2 of them so I can cut one up for use as a baffle and the second layer on the base. My initial experiment years ago did not last very long at all, burnt out in a few days burning hardwood and went into the recycle bins so I think the stockpot is the way to go
Ve are too soon old und too late schmart
