Shelf Bracket Stove

Image
  Being able to efficiently support or hang a cooking pot over a fire is sometimes easier said than done. One of the quickiest stove hacks involves 3 metal shelf brackets that cost under $5. They are also very lightweight and packable if you need to take them on the move. Once you’ve got a good bed of coals going, stab the metal L-shaped brackets into the ground as shown in the image and scoop the coals underneath. This makes for a very sturdy surface on which to cook stews, fry meats and wild veggies, or boil water. You can stab the short ends deeper in the ground to create a surface closer to the coals if necessary. Use 4 brackets to make a larger, square raised platform. bed of coals = the layer of burning coals in a fireplace, grill, or any other type of stove scoop = here to get together in little pile
