Hobo Can Pot Holder Mini Post

My buddy Todd over at Survival Sherpa reprinted my hobo can stove project way back in December 2012. He had a comment on it recently wanting to see how the pot holder worked. It seems that in my pictures the flames are hiding them. He shot me an email to see if I could shoot a picture of it. Well I no longer have that stove but told him I would build on a new one to take pictures of. Figured while I was at it I would post it here in case any of you have the same question.

Making a pot holder on these hobo stoves is super easy. I use steel tent pegs that I carry anyway for tarps. First line up where they will go on the can. I like them to angle in towards each other. Make sure that at the widest part your pot can’t fall through. I find that pots are more stable with the pegs at an angle than parallel.

Use a marker to mark where you will drill the holes for the pegs.

I like to use a hole punch to keep the drill bit from walking on me.

Next drill your holes to slightly bigger than the pegs and your done.

Hope this helps clarify how it works. Thanks and get busy building. DIY 2 Survive!
