Dear Erin and all In a disaster zone there is likely to be a large number of loose bricks and blocks. The Lion Cub is probably one of the easiest high performance stoves to build using mud as mortar. I was watching the vintage flick 'Malta' on the plane and in it they showed people cooking in bombed out communities. They were using a version of these stones using rectilinear stones. It reminded me that in Ethiopia they have hand made (and glazed) 'stones' that are like a letter 'U' on its side. They can be moved back and forth to create a suitably sized fire chamber, as appropriate. After a cyclone there is a huge amount of broken wood available but cutting it can be a problem so a sheltered fire with logs is reasonable and remember people are sleeping in the open so they need warmth.
