so on my way here I stopped by the
hardware store and picked up some of
these shelving brackets you can find
them in the shelving aisle and they’re
about a dollar maybe a little more than
a dollar each they come in all kinds of
different sizes I got some small ones
and I got some larger ones these things
are fairly durable I think they’re made
of steel and they’re a relatively
lightweight so if you’re backpacking or
hiking you can take some of these along
they don’t take up much space and they
very easily transform into a stove let
me show you how it works you can see
there’s a short end and a longer end so
depending on how high you want your
stove you can use the longer end or a
little more height or you can turn it
and use the shorter end and get a wider
stove this a little bit closer to the
ground now I’ve just finished making a
fire you can see it’s burned down to the
coals here we don’t really want flames
looking up at us because if we did we’d
be burning our hands but now that it’s
at this point we can take these brackets
and push them down into the ground and
leverage them in the right way that we
can actually hold a fairly heavy pot now
if you look down at the pattern here it
could be a little bit better but
basically you want the tip of each
hanger to be overlapping the next one so
when those are all lined up it’s very
stable you can put a lot of pressure on
that and it’s not going to buckle and
look at that it gets you right nice
close to the coals so you’re gonna have
a lot of cooking heat and if you want to
make sure they’re all the same height
you can put something like a pan on
there just bang it a little bit and now
you’ve got a nice cooking top and you
can vary the height above the poles or
move the coals in and out to determine
what kind of temperature in heat you
want in your pan
[Music]
now if you’ve got a fire that’s still
going or you’ve got a very big and heavy
pot you might want to consider some of
these bigger shelving brackets that will
give you a little bit more room to play
with so you don’t burn your hands as you
put them into the fire and again these
have a short side and a long side so you
can choose what you want all right so to
put this thing to the test I just filled
this stainless steel container all the
way to the top with water and which we
just slam this thing down boom doesn’t
even flinch
and guys I didn’t even do like a perfect
triangle with this base so that just
shows you what kind of integrity it has
and what kind of things you can do with
it this thing is amazingly strong it’s
actually blowing my mind kind of makes
me wonder if I could stand in it oh yeah
look at that
165 pounds not a problem and check this
out guys after they’ve cooled down
you’ve knocked off all the dust they’ve
got these grooves in the back which
means you can lock them together for
very easy and convenient storage so that
is how to hack yourself a stove using
shelving brackets I hope you enjoyed
this project thanks so much for joining
me for this experiment and I’ll be
looking for you in the next video talk
to you then
