Are you living simply?

Being off line for a while and there's a whole pletra of stuff to catch up

on. Seen the mention of 'benders' and stoves. Thought you might like to know

about the gas cyclinder type which Aniruddha made for us last year. Actually

a few devotees made them. We had single 'Calor' yellow, and double ones

which had ovens in them. Very simple to do, one day's work with a welder if

you've got a cyclinder. The rounded top is cut out for a door. The 'stove'

lies horizontally and then you make two 'pin flap' hinges for the door. He

mounted ours on feet, and at the time we were in a mobile. There's great

heat from them. Also Bh. John used one of the larger red cylinders and put a

small one in the middle of it, and made an oven model. We ran flue pipes

from the back of them vertically, and ours had a steel flat plate welded on

top which you could put a pot on. So you can heat water or do some cooking

on it as well. I suppose anything like a gas cylinder would work, and I

suppose in a 'bender' situation, even a mini-stove could be made by using a

smaller cylinder. The reason the gas bottles are good is because they're

readily available here and very heavy construction therefore durable. We're

in our cottage now, but we use the stove in the mobile still when Gaura

comes home to visit. He just returned briefly before the marathon having

spent a 'year in the sun' being only in Europe for the good summer weather

and the rest of the time in India and Africa respectively. He found that it

was great as it was his only source of heat in there. So I'm supposing that

you might have access to them since they're all over India as well.

Wow, great idea, gas cylinder stoves, excellent. I got the gist of the

design, is there anyway you could get a photo of one, and scan it into a

computer, so we can get some technical tips first hand?

 

It would be especially helpful to show the welder, as people often grasp

things a lot quicker with a picture.

 

The flat plate you welded on, was it just welded on top of the curved

cylinder side, or was the cylinder wall cut away, and then replaced by a

flat plate?

 

Did anyone make a back boiler in one?

 

Thanks a lot for sharing that.
