Stove #2: Cardboard Model

After we brainstormed, we made a cardboard model of our stove. We didn't have to construct the main rectangular body- we used a pre-constructed box (from an Amazon shipment) (I'm open to product placement deals).
We adjusted our initial design as we went along.
We cut out the bottom to improve air flow to the charcoal.
Our heat partition fit quite nicely within the box, and we made a handle to pull it out and in.
The charcoal drawer inserts into the box.
And can be pulled out, too. We added slits on the bottom of the drawer to allow for air flow.
The chimney was tricky business. This cardboard design was a triangular prism that attached to the back of the stove.
We cut out handles from the side for portability.

Time to break out the sheet metal!
