Hey Sgt ROck

“You could be getting rich!

“I would never try to sell my stoves when anyone can make 'em out of their recycle stuff! Just seems wrong to me somehow.

Funny thing is some of those pictures are right off other people's web sites. Wait until the customers found out they paid $6 for two empty soda cans.

Budder should get in on this.”

“I'd pay cash for a couple of Budder's stoves. I'd put his design against about any gas stove. One time I carried my Zipp stove with me. He was packed up and waiting on me at nearly every meal. LOL!”

“Don't get me wrong, I think Alcohol stoves are great and if you wanna pay money for an alcohol stove, I'll sell you one. I think I would at least tell people I was selling them two empty cans first.

Maybe I'll put a link on my site to order homemade alcohol stoves:

Cat Stove: $12

Turbo V8: $8

Instructions, screen and stand included.

I'll even throw in a fuel bottle (empty soda bottle) for $1.

Shipping and handeling extra.”

“huh - if this had been last week I might have taken you up on that Turbo V8 price - it would have been worth it to me to not have to find the hardware cloth, fiberglass, and metal tape.”

“I outfitted my buddy and I wanted to give him an acli stove to start with and I have two of them, the Trangia and then the Budder stove. I gave him the Trangia. LOL! There's enough info out there to make yer own I can't see anyone buying one.”

“People are basically lazy and willing to pay for convenience.”

“I bet I won't get any buisness, but I'll put an order link up on my site.

Hey, I already love making them.”

“I can't belive I did this. But if you really want to get a stove and don't want to build it:
Order a custom stove

It won't offend me if no one ever buys one.”

“Hey Sarge, I thought that was pretty cool. I hope you sell some stoves.”

“And the 'build your own' links are an exceptionally nice touch! I'll bet there are people who will buy them from you. Good luck!”

“maybe you can advertise your stoves on TT..........”

“Thanks for the comments. I doubt I'll sell any, but you never know.

Advertising here, maybe in the gear section:

"Homade gear - made from trash, 100% recycled material!"

"Forget the sleek, shinny, new gear you normally get. Buy a SGT Rock stove and look like you've been digging in someone's trash!"

Yep, it is gonna be sweet.


Anyway, some people were having trouble getting to my site earlier this month, including me today. Then tonight I go on and find some stuff has changed on the tripod site manager. I think they may have been doing some work and that might have been causing the problem.”
