What did you do today?

Today we worked on our stoves. We thought through our ideas, some of them worked, some of them didn't, and we went back to our giant drawing board. We're trying to create a low-smoke wood burning stove-in-a-can that we can carry. It has to be cheap, and it has to be made of readily available materials. Our first prototypes smoked like crazy, but we're hopeful a few breakthroughs will come in this next round of construction! There are schools of engineering that take on this design challenge, but as long as we're not afraid to fail and learn from our efforts, we'll see some breakthroughs!
