DIY: Gimballed Stove

Impossible to find, but not that hard to build your own!

Article by John Meikle

As no similar stove is commercially available in New Zealand, Down Under we have to take a typical Kiwi approach to solving issues.

Here is the description of how I made a fully gimbaled cooker using an old aluminum pot, a Kovea Scout Gas Stove, and various bits of hardware. It can be permanently mounted or made detachable using an alloy bar with countersunk machine screws threaded through the bar and a couple of wing nuts.

For preference I use old alloy pressure cookers as they are of heavier construction, have an aesthetically pleasing shape, and can be obtained for very little money.

* Information is for use with a Kovea Scout Stove but could be easily adapted for other cookers.
