Jonty Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I tried something I’ve not done before yesterday by cooking a stew on the wood burner. It went pretty well but the top of the burner was a bit too hot so I thought I’d need a spacer just to stop the stew sticking to the base of the pan. Now, I’m no welder - so please don’t look too closely… I’d seen a trivet made by welding horse shoes together and thought I’d have a bash and then put some legs on it to raise it off the to[ of the burner. My wife has a horse so we have plenty of old shoes, I welded M10 nuts on the base so I could screw different length coach bolts in to get the heat control I wanted, I also picked up some long bolts so I could maybe have a try using it over some coals on my fire pit. It needs a lick of stove paint and I need some welding lessons, but I’m pretty pleased with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a barbecue mat on top of my multifuel burner and boil water in a pan lovely 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
