We have four hollow concrete bricks here, the first is laid crosswise as a base, the second one is placed on the first one with the combustion chamber, the third one is put up as an extension of the supply channel, and the fourth one is only half as an extension for the combustion channel. The fire becomes so efficient that you can cook properly with just a few branches (54 '').

Four hollow concrete bricks - you can build a cooking place from them	The first concrete brick is laid across forming the basis	The second concrete brick is normally placed on top, with a free end which was cut out
The second concrete brick with a cut free end, with the text: "The end was cut off with a cement blade on a circular saw"	The third concrete brick is placed upright close to the two hollow concrete bricks, so the access channel is extended	The raised upright brick is "connected" and forms the access extension
To extend the vertical fire channel, half a hollow concrete brick is placed on top	The half, hollow concrete brick is the extension of the vertical fire channel

Now an open tin can is inserted into the access channel. The can is the air inlet and small wood is put above (1'8 '').

An open tin can, oval shaped, is inserted into the access channel 01	The open ovally formed tin can is in the access channel

The igniter is wood wool, which is entered from above, and the second igniter is a paper ball, which is lit and thrown in from the top, so the first fire develops in the fire channel (1'58 '').

Igniter 01: The first igniter is wood wool	Igniter 01: The wood wool is put from above into the fire channel	Igniter 01: The wood wool is in the fire channel at the bootom, view through the access channel
Igniter 02: A paper ball is lit	Igniter 02: The lit paper ball is thrown into the fire channel from above	Fire is developping with the paper ball and the wood wool
Then throw again more igniter wood wool

Second, small twigs are entered from the top to really start the fire (2'45 '').

Small twigs are thrown in at the top 01	Small twigs are thrown in at the top 02	Twigs are halved
Small twigs are thrown in at the top 03	Fire development, the view through the access hole with the oval-shaped, open tin can	[One can observe that alternately thin and thick twigs are thrown in, so a mixture].

And finally, small pieces of wood are put on the tin in the access channel, and the heat that develops there now is quite large (4'55 '').

Thin logs of wood are placed on the tin 01	A thin log is put on the tin	Thin logs of wood are placed on the tin 02

The hollow concrete blocks are not heat-resistant, so there may be cracks, then you simply buy a new one for 87 cents (5'12 ''). So after cooking 30 times, you should check whether there are cracks (5'20 ''). So now you put a gas stove top on top and you can cook, e.g. fry fried eggs (8'33 '').

Now the gas stove top is put on the top	Fire development with more logs	Cook fried eggs 01
Fire development: The logs are partially burned down	Logs are pushed in more and more	Fried eggs are coming
Fried eggs are ready	Fried eggs are served	The final setting, the cooking place made of 4 hollow concrete bricks and an open tin can
