There are some plans out there for wood burning cookstoves that involve 55 gallon drums. HOWEVER they don't hold heat in well so they dont direct it up well so they don't cook well. You might want to consider a bar-b-que pit with a flatspot on the firebox, or ever an old coleman camp stove. The bar-b-que pit will still take a LONG time and alot of wood to get water boiling, the camp stove won't take any time at all. We use an old coleman stove. It will go a LONG LOOOONNNG time on very little fuel and do ALOT with it.

my 2 cents.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
