I have wanted to build an outdoor stove for some time. Over spring break I found someone giving away free bricks in town so picked up a used iron gas stove cover and made this design based on a video online. My first version used some thin metal mesh that melted on my first try so upgraded the mesh to hardware cloth I had in my shed. The metal mesh allows air to be drawn up from under the burn to keep the fire burning hot with only small pieces of wood.
