Split Log Stove - One Log Fire For Camp & Trail Cooking

Ойын-сауық

After testing a wide variety of different one log stoves I came up with this simple design that serves as a great way to have a one log fire.
Three cuts with a saw and one split is all it takes. It can be made in just a few minutes, takes little effort and fuel to get burning, and is easy to maintain throughout the duration of it's use.
The heat can be controlled to provide a low or high heat which makes this one log fire perfect for cooking.
Many of the other variations of a one log stove that I tried (including the swedish torch and rocket stove) took too long to create and often required special tools. They were difficult to get burning, and once burning they let off an aggressive flame that is only useful for high-temperature cooking.
The split log stove is far more aimed towards being a useful cooking fire. It can replace gear in your pack like twig stoves or fuel stoves. It's simple, practical, and fun to make. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
Thank you to everyone who watches.

    That is brilliant, even easier than making a swedish fire torch and with more burn control

    I didn’t think that moving the logs apart would make much of a difference, but it clearly does. Such a cool idea, thanks for sharing 👍🏻

    Your split log stove is a great idea. It works better than I thought it would. Watching you cook brought back a camping memory. Once I was cooking for several people and had a LARGE frying pan. As usual, I cooked the bacon first and beat about 6 eggs to scramble. The pan was still on the fire heating up the bacon grease. I poured the eggs into the grease and POOF! They cooked in an instant! I called them flash eggs and everyone ate them. No burnt edges or uncooked center. I have never been able to reproduce that event. God bless!

    The logs are rather sturdy when just split in half. It's when you quarter them to try and replicate a swedish torch that they tip over quite easily. Thanks for watching! Happy trails.

    Years ago, I would have wondered why someone would bother going out into the woods to make breakfast. Now, I can't go anywhere without assessing an area for bushcraft camp worthiness. 🙂 My wife even got me fatwood as a Christmas gift last year. I like this split log idea. Will definitely use it. Thank you!
