I vaguely knew "hobo" ovens existed, which can be made from tin cans or a £1 stainless steel cutlery holder, and for which there is a loyal and industrious following, but there are a whole raft of other wood burners out there of which many designs are quite remarkably effective.
Check these babes out:
'Ikea' Hobo Oven
Wild Woodgas Stove MK II | Wood-gas camping stoves | Wild Stoves
Stainless Steel 'Base Camp' Kelly Kettle® (1.5 Ltr / 2.6 Pint): Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Leisure
Rocket stove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And they all run on a few small sticks. Boil a pint of water in a few minutes with no need to carry gas or other fuel, or have to pay for it.
Lots of variants of the above exist.
I bought the wood gas stove and couldn't resist trying it out immediately with a few sticks. It was soon looking like a little jet engine, with flames reaching about a foot high, emitting terrific heat that you'd hardy attribute to a few sticks, almost smokelessly after 30 seconds or so as it gets up to speed (more massive sticks would burn slower and for longer). Quite remarkable.
