Hand warmer

The crew working on my new tractor barn/garage addition were using this at lunch time today for a little warmth.

Just a metal bucket with some small air holes and one larger one for draft or loading. Wife was home all day and all she said was they must not have stopped long for lunch. Said nothing about seeing any smoke. Certainly not anything that could be burned for long. First I have seen .

Can't be too warm, snow not melted.

A couple of my Amish friends have ones like this. They work better then you'd think!

They work great and put out lots of heat. Use sawdust packed in the 5 gallon bucket with a 1 1/2 " to 2" hole down the middle. A few twigs in the bottom vent to start the fire and she is good to go.

You can even cook on them.

I'll post up descriptions later.
