A rather nifty fire of bacon / chicken fat (in cat food bowl so it doesn't run), waste paper and scavenged wood. A bit spitty to start with, but it's nice to Stick it to the Man. Of doubtful legality in a smokeless zone and so best lit after dark.
The wood is important, as the rubbish will not burn down completely without it. Also note the lack of a grate; it all goes better on a bed of ash.
It ought to be possible to invent a domestic stove which could efficiently deal with household rubbish, of which there is tons. I suppose you would need some sort of scrubbing device to remove the noxious fumes from milk cartons, small rubber tyres, dead pets etc., but we got to the moon didn't we?
Maybe a compact version of this?
