the preferred embodiment of the invention comprises an inner wall 12 , a middle wall 30 and an outer wall 34 , a base 40 , a floor 38 , an inner cap 16 and an outer cap 18 . these elements may be cut or stamped from stainless steel or any suitable material able to withstand the heat of regular operation . the form of the raw components pre - assembly and prior to shaping is depicted in fig4 . disposed along the lower portion of the inner wall 12 are a series of inner wall vents 14 extending vertically from the portion of the wall affixed to the floor 38 . the inner wall 14 is capped with an inner cap 16 . the inner cap 16 is generally ring shaped with a central opening 22 . in the preferred embodiment the central opening 22 is approximately one half the diameter of the inner wall 14 . the outer diameter of the inner cap 16 ring is slightly greater than the diameter of the inner wall 14 . the inner cap 16 defines the upper boundary of the burn chamber 20 . the central opening of the inner cap 16 provides access to the burn chamber 20 for the insertion of fuel and removal of waste and ash . a generally ring shaped outer cap 18 caps the device displaced above the inner cap 16 . preferably , the spacing between the outer cap 18 and the inner cap 16 is maintained by a series of inner cap tabs 17 folded upward which support the outer cap . the outer cap 18 retains the inner cap 16 by receiving a series of inner wall tabs 15 disposed along the upper edge of the inner wall 12 which are inserted through a series of slots 19 in the outer cap 18 and then folded to hold the outer cap 18 in place . an exploded view of the assembly is depicted in fig2 . the outer cap 18 diameter is such that it resides within the outer wall 34 and is disposed below the upper portion of the outer wall 34 below the upper rail posts 44 . the outer wall 34 has disposed medially a series of vents 36 . in the preferred embodiment the outer wall 34 extending above the outer cap 18 is cut so as to form posts 44 and an upper rail 42 . the upper rail 42 provides a support for cookware and operates as both a protective rail and a handle . disposed around the outer wall 34 are a series of outer rail posts 48 on which is mounted an outer rail 46 providing both a secondary protective rail and another handle . the middle wall 30 has a series of middle wall vents 32 to permit cross flow of air . the upper portion of the middle wall 30 extends to a height approximately equal to the outer wall vents 36 . the upper edge of the middle wall may have a series of tabs 33 in place to provide spacing between the inner wall 12 and the middle wall 30 . the inner wall 12 and middle wall 30 rest on the floor 38 and are held in place by a series of tabs as is the floor 38 , which is suspended above and held to the base 40 by tabs being inserted into to slots on the base 40 . the base 40 extends beyond the diameter of the outer wall and is preferably slightly conical permitting the outer parameter to rest on the ground or substrate improving stability . the conical shaping also elevates the burn chamber 20 above any substrate on which he device is placed , providing additional airspace to prevent excessive heat transfer to the substrate . alternate embodiments include the use of a damper 70 as depicted in fig6 . the damper 70 may be placed over the central opening 22 of the outer cap 18 . such a damper 70 may consist of an offset hole in a circular piece of metal with a pivot pin 72 and a handle 74 to swivel the damper 70 permitting the central opening 22 of the outer cap 18 to be selectively occluded limiting air flow 50 and reducing the burn rate . alternate damper systems , including the placement of gates over the outer wall vents may also be used ( not shown ). in another alternate embodiment depicted in fig5 the inner cap 64 is formed so as to be folded along the central opening of the inner cap 64 to increase the boundary layer area of air entering the secondary burn zone . other disclosed modifications include a frustro - conical outer cap 62 . in operation , fuel is added to the burn chamber 20 through the outer cap 18 central opening 22 and the inner cap 16 central opening . the fuel is the lighted in any number of conventional ways , though lighting is facilitated if the stove is inverted during initial ignition . once ignited , additional fuel may be added while the stove is in use . airflow is indicated generally at 50 . for primary combustion air flow 50 is from the outer wall vents 36 down both sides of the middle wall 30 with the outer air pathway transiting through the middle wall vents 32 then through the inner wall vents 14 . the three walls heat air , the middle wall 30 acting as both a heat shield to prevent excessive heating of the outer wall 34 and as a radiant fin to heat the air passing by both sides toward the inner wall vents 14 . heated air increases the efficiency of the combustion process and the multiple walled structure of the invention facilitates heating the air by providing increased air contact with the walls of the stove , which become heated when in use . an alternate air pathway 50 is provided to permit the combustion of unburned gasses produced by the burning fuel . air is permitted to enter through the outer wall vents 36 and travel upward through the space defined by the inner wall 12 and the outer wall 30 and then exit the space defined by the outer cap 18 and the inner cap 16 to provide additional oxygen to burn any unconsumed gasses exiting the burn chamber 20 . while the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and the foregoing description , the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character , it being understood that only the preferred and select alternate embodiments have been shown and described fully and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected .
