so on my way here I stopped by the

so on my way here I stopped by the hardware store and picked up some of

hardware store and picked up some of

hardware store and picked up some of these shelving brackets you can find

these shelving brackets you can find

these shelving brackets you can find them in the shelving aisle and they’re

them in the shelving aisle and they’re

them in the shelving aisle and they’re about a dollar maybe a little more than

about a dollar maybe a little more than

about a dollar maybe a little more than a dollar each they come in all kinds of

a dollar each they come in all kinds of

a dollar each they come in all kinds of different sizes I got some small ones

different sizes I got some small ones

different sizes I got some small ones and I got some larger ones these things

and I got some larger ones these things

and I got some larger ones these things are fairly durable I think they’re made

are fairly durable I think they’re made

are fairly durable I think they’re made of steel and they’re relatively

of steel and they’re relatively

of steel and they’re relatively lightweight so if you’re backpacking or

lightweight so if you’re backpacking or

lightweight so if you’re backpacking or hiking you can take some of these along

hiking you can take some of these along

hiking you can take some of these along they don’t take up much space and they

they don’t take up much space and they

they don’t take up much space and they very easily transform into a stove let

very easily transform into a stove let

very easily transform into a stove let me show you how it works you can see

me show you how it works you can see

me show you how it works you can see there’s a short end and a longer end so

there’s a short end and a longer end so

there’s a short end and a longer end so depending on how high you want your

depending on how high you want your

depending on how high you want your stove you can use the longer end or a

stove you can use the longer end or a

stove you can use the longer end or a little more height or you can turn it

little more height or you can turn it

little more height or you can turn it and use the shorter end and get a wider

and use the shorter end and get a wider

and use the shorter end and get a wider stove this a little bit closer to the

stove this a little bit closer to the

stove this a little bit closer to the ground now I’ve just finished making a

ground now I’ve just finished making a

ground now I’ve just finished making a fire you can see it’s burned down to the

fire you can see it’s burned down to the

fire you can see it’s burned down to the coals here we don’t really want flames

coals here we don’t really want flames

coals here we don’t really want flames looking up at us because if we did we’d

looking up at us because if we did we’d

looking up at us because if we did we’d be burning our hands but now that it’s

be burning our hands but now that it’s

be burning our hands but now that it’s at this point we can take these brackets

at this point we can take these brackets

at this point we can take these brackets and push them down into the ground and

and push them down into the ground and

and push them down into the ground and leverage them in the right way that we

leverage them in the right way that we

leverage them in the right way that we can actually hold a fairly heavy pot now

can actually hold a fairly heavy pot now

can actually hold a fairly heavy pot now if you look down at the pattern here it

if you look down at the pattern here it

if you look down at the pattern here it could be a little bit better but

could be a little bit better but

could be a little bit better but basically you want the tip of each

basically you want the tip of each

basically you want the tip of each hanger to be overlapping the next one so

hanger to be overlapping the next one so

hanger to be overlapping the next one so when those are all lined up it’s very

when those are all lined up it’s very

when those are all lined up it’s very stable you can put a lot of pressure on

stable you can put a lot of pressure on

stable you can put a lot of pressure on that and it’s not gonna buckle and look

that and it’s not gonna buckle and look

that and it’s not gonna buckle and look at that it gets you right nice close to

at that it gets you right nice close to

at that it gets you right nice close to the coals so you’re gonna have a lot of

the coals so you’re gonna have a lot of

the coals so you’re gonna have a lot of cooking heat and if you want to make

cooking heat and if you want to make

cooking heat and if you want to make sure they’re all the same height you can

sure they’re all the same height you can

sure they’re all the same height you can put something like a pan on there just

put something like a pan on there just

put something like a pan on there just bang it a little bit and now you’ve got

bang it a little bit and now you’ve got

bang it a little bit and now you’ve got a nice cooking top and you can vary the

a nice cooking top and you can vary the

a nice cooking top and you can vary the height above the poles or move the coals

height above the poles or move the coals

height above the poles or move the coals in and out to determine what kind of
