The idea came to me to do this as the old timers used to use an old cream can, put some sand in the bottom of it to have it sit lower in the water and then burn a fire in the can. But I wanted something that would burn easier, longer and more efficiently. But a lot of the solutions to the challenges that you run into can be found from our elders that lived 80-100 years ago. Talk to the really old people before they loose their memories!!!

Thanks for the reply. I have a much better understanding of how that stock tank system works now.
I totally agree about older generations having valuable knowledge. My Grandmother who is 92 years old grew up during a time when they had none of the modern conveniences we have now. Even my mother in-law who is only about 60 grew up in a home without running water when she was a small child.
They definitely had ways of doing things that are almost forgotten now. It also shows just how much we take for granted these days.
