Hay Box

June 15, 2011

THE HAY BOX IS COMPLETE !!!! (actually it has been done for about a week )

Here's the lid , we had to place a thin sheet of wood over the insulation and we used some twine and wire (as a heavier duty needle and thread ) and drilled 6 holes in the top and weaved the twine through because the glue wasn't really stong enough and we just wanted to make sure it stayed on.

The hay box that were working on. Hay Boxes save alot of energy by heating a pot too boiling , then taking it off the element and put it into the hay box to cook . This Hay Box is a small box that sits inside a large box . Between all the sides of this small box will have 4" of insulation including the top and bottom.. When it is finished it will also have a lid ofcourse to hold in the heat ..

An inside view of the smaller box.
