I spent a few hours looking for the sort of camping stove you might
take on a fishing trip. I remember a boys programme on the ITV in the
1960's with a chap called Jack Hargreaves.
He had a small smoker that was just big enough to cook a small trout
with a few chips of oak.
All the stuff on the 'Net seem to require meths or gas trivet to roast
the sawdust.
Such is progress.
How would I make a small wood burning one if the sawdust couldn't be
convinced to do the job directly? Something about the size of a half
gallon can would be a very large version of what I think I remember.
Search for mailorder Fishing Tackle suppliers of which there are
hundreds . Fishtec,Sportfish,Fishingmegastore.com to name but 3...I'm
sure I have seen smokers you just light the sawdust but I could be wrong. .

I have a pressure stove that runs on petrol ... Coleman make ... would work
in cold weather when the guys with Camping Gaz butane won't work.
But still needs fuel so maybe ones that need no fuel don't exist ??
"Complete with stand, 2 fuel pans with heat adjustment, cooking pan, lid
with adjustable smoke vent, drip tray and grill. "
I suppose that doing one myself could be an option. I must say I
wasn't surprised that so many here directed me to shops/ready made
stuff.
I suppose that for most, the price of a sophisticated one rules out
making one that runs off a bit of kindling, a few very small dry twigs
and one or two leaves.
But the original idea was to make do with minimum weight and maximum
sustained use at no cost, not carrying a lot of third party chemistry.

I've got one somewhere around, probably in the garage. Along with the
ice-cream maker that's a big cedar bucket that gets filled with ice and
salt. And other "stuff" that doesn't get used much anymore.
If you're mad keen on DIYing a smoker I've seen them made from oil drums
and I suspect that propane bottles would also work.
Ah the good old days. Immediately in its wake the BBC produced
Countryside using Blue Peter staff and what a total fuck up they
produced with that.
In the end not satisfied with the calibre of people who knew what to
do with a detergent bottle and sticky paper they imported an Hooray
Henry from an unreality show.
After that, the whole of British television was subsumed by
"celebrities", a class of people whose main claim to fame is that they
can breathe in and out involuntarily.
About the smoker. What is it in the intellect of some of the posters
here that thinks carrying around a gas bottle to light fires in is
superior to carrying around gas bottles to light fires with?
The whole idea is to have portability with utility at minimum
inconvenience.
Taking a walk down a lane with a bottle of meths, a meths burner, and
the smoke box is not utilitarianism.
Somebody tell whoever is thinking about posting any more such silly
suggestions for the duration of this thread, please, thank you.
