Tinder is placed below the grate while kindling is placed above. The vented bottom portion helps create a chimney effect so that when the tinder is lit, all heat goes upward to the kindling. There is a moderate sized hole in the side of the stack where you can continue to load kindling as needed while your food cooks. The stove top is open, so your pot gets direct heat vs. some hobo stove plans that keep the can’s lid intact on top which could dampen the potential heat from below.

I’ve tried to make one of these “hobo stoves” and was very fustrated with the results. I couldn’t keep the fire lit, and after an hour couldn’t get boiled water.
